I built my strike deck, miss bartlet!
That's great, jerry!
What's up, teach?
Good morning, miss bartlet.
Good morning, you two.
You're both up in the battle dome today.
Did you build your decks?
Bothyou bet!
Akizaleo! Luna! Bothhuh?
Hey there, akiza! Hey back at ya.
We saw you wipe the dome floor
With that anderson kid yesterday.
You were awesome! And ya know what--
By the end of the day, you and I are
Gonna be fellow members in the best in class club.
Mariathe winner is--dexter!
Yeee-eaaah! [Laughs]
You may have lost leo--
But you lasted more than rounds this time.
Leo--if you wanna be in the best in class club--
You have to actually win every now and then.
It's not my fault, it's this stupid deck.
Gaah! If only I'd been able to hold out
Until my next turn!
I coulda busted out my power tool dragon.
Leo! What did I tell you about relying on favorites?
Our lesson this week is on warrior-type decks.
I know, but I'm just not a warrior guy,
I do so much better with my morphtronics!
Leo! Duel me after you duel nathan.
And then me after that!
Hey! Everybody wants to duel me!
I'm like the most popular kid in class.
Well, yeah, that and-- if we duel you,
It'll make us look better and our grades will go up.
Well, who can make me look better?
[Laughter]
Bobum nobody....
[Laughter]
Yuk it up, little yuksters...
'Cause tomorrow is your last day at duel academy.

Dexterhey! Leo! Wait up!
Bothhm?
Are you going where I think you're going?
Yeah. You guys wanna come?
Allyou bet we do!
Uh--maybe you should go home
And study up on warrior decks.
I'll do that later.
Lunahey, sly.
We're all gonna go hang out at our friend's--
You, uh...you wanna tag along?
Please. I'm not the tag along type.
But you guys have a good time
Being brain-dead lamewads.
Lunathat was harsh.
He's the wadbrain lame one.
Dexteri think that's the first time I've heard him speak.
And hopefully the last. Now let's get going,
I cannot wait to meet these guys!
Yeah. I've been wanting to meet yusei
Since he won the fortune cup.
[Thinking] what?...yusei?
Could they really be going to meet yusei fudo?...
Maybe I should tag along after all...
Yuseiengine's remote synergy holding steady at ...
What!? What happened to the power surge?
The output's still in the red.
Where's that energy going?
Who cares? It's fixed, that's what counts!
Listen to that engine, it's purring like
A happy little kitten!
Actually--the surge has been rerouted.
Re-routed?
To where?
Aah!
Crowaw, come on!!
[Crow and jack coughing]
Quiet down! I told you--
Between the hours of and , my soap operas are on!
And I can't hear them when you rapscallions
Are in here making a ruckus!
Yuseisorry, zora.
So what's happening with gail on "eternal flame"?
Has she recovered from her amnesia
And found true love yet?
The next one to mock my soaps
Will clean this garage with a toothbrush!
Yuseiwe're sorry about the racket, zora.
Oh, yusei, you are such a doll.
Having you stay here has been a treat.
You remind me so of my reginald.
That dear boy was such a charmer when he was your age.
As for you two--you're skating on very thin ice with me.
One wrong move and you'll be
Sleeping on the streets with the rats!
Well...she's in a good mood today.
"Oh, yusei, you are just like my dear, sweet reginald.
Have I mentioned him yet in the last minutes?"
Come on, guys-- cut zora some slack,
She's letting us crash here for free.
Yeah, yeah... Speakin' of which...
I guess somebody has to clean up this mess.
Leoyusei!
Lunawe brought some friends over.
Crowperfect!
Hey, guys. You're just in time!
Watch where you're running!
Leohey! Didn't you guys just clean up yesterday?
Lunawhat happened, did something blow up again?
Yuseiyeah, sorta.
Crowthere's a problem with the subgenerator's eps output.
Sweet! A duel runner!.... Check it out!
I've never been so close to one.
Can I touch it?
No way. This is not some little toy.
Please take me out for a spin!
And then me!
If I won't let you touch it,
Why would I ever do that?
Here's the deal!
The one who picks up the most cards
Gets to go for a ride first.
Allreally!? I'm not taking anyone for a ride,
They're just children!
Children are the future.
What are you guys waiting for, hop to it!
Allyeah!
Leoso I sorta blew it today in class, yusei.
Yuseiyou did, huh?
Slyhe blows it everyday in class.
Hm? Sly.
I thought you were off being cool.
Wait! Don't listen to my brother.
I'm glad you came by, come on in.
This is sly.
He's in my trap card class.
He's a great duelist. Aren't you, sly?
Yuseigood to meet ya.
Huh...so you're the great yusei...
You don't seem that great to me.
Leooh, that's nice.
Why's everyone standing around flapping their mouths?
Less yapping, more picking up!
Oh! You got it, boss!
What am I doing, why did I even come here?
Wow...that's... Stardust dragon.
Dexteri've already got , bob!
Bobthat's 'cause you've got nimble hands dex.
Lunaleo, I had that one!
Leotoo slow, sis!
Has anyone found stardust dragon yet?
Uh--is that this one?
Lemme see... Yeah, thanks!
[Thinking] only one person deserves that card and that person's me!
Excuse me, but--oh... Is anybody even in here?
Just me.
I was hoping I might find yusei fudo.
You found him. Whaddya need?
I, uh...i heard you were good at fixing things,
And I've got something that needs adjusting.
It's got a few screws loose, it's not reliable,
And it talks too much at faculty meetings.
It talks too much?
What kind of machine are we talking about here?
It's, um... A pesky motor
Called the rudolph heitmann.
Never heard of it.
[Students talking at once]
Heitmannsilence!
Rudolph heitmann will not be interrupted
By his lowly subordinates!
You're expelling our whole class?!
What's up with that, heitmann, what did we do wrong?
Last semester, the academic performance of this school
Rose up into the stratosphere of excellence
Like a lead balloon.
And for those of you a little too slow
To comprehend sarcasm and metaphor,
That means that it did not rise up!
It plummeted to the depths of mediocrity
Faster than you can say "failure,"
And it's because of your class!
Excuse me, sir but with all due respect--
These kids are enthusiastic duelists,
They want to learn and they will.
I can vouch for their skill and potential.
You see skill in this lot?
Perhaps you are part of the problem, miss bartlet.
Me? That's not true.
Perhaps I'll suggest to the chancellor
That we should re-evaluate our teacher criteria
And then weed out our faculty accordingly.
Go ahead, heitmann... I'm not ashamed of my track record.
It's not miss bartlet.
We just haven't been giving it our best.
But give us a little more time
And let us prove to you--we're duelists!
You've had plenty of time to prove yourself and you failed.
Especially you!
You're at the bottom of the bottom of the bottom, leo!
And I'll tell you something else--!
Leoakiza!
Attention cretins!
Please welcome a real duelist!
You can't expel this class, heitmann.
What are you talking about, akiza?
I would think one boasting
Such discipline and aptitude as yourself
Would certainly endorse my decision to jettison
These parasites from our ranks.
How can you call yourself a teacher
When you're willing to give up on the kids
You're supposed to be teaching?
Uh-oh... Uh-oh's right.
If akiza gets too worked up,
This whole place will come crashing down.
Yuseiuh, excuse me...
Leo and lunayusei? [Students murmuring]
Well, ring my bell and sing me a ditty,
It's the fortune cup champion!
[Students cheering]
What is it that brings you to
The once illustrious halls of duel academy?
I came here to do some repair work.
Whuh? Come again?
I was told there was something
Malfunctioning in this classroom
And that I should fix it if I could.
I see. Well, I hope you aren't alluding
To these rather pitiful goobers gathered before me.
I'm afraid this sorry bunch of students
Is beyond repair.
Mariathat's not true.
This class is full of potential.
Ya' know what? If you seriously wanna
Kick out this entire class
Because you don't think they're good enough,
Then whatever, but if they go, then I go with 'em.
Do you think that's gonna stop me?!
This academy can't indulge the whims
Of every wannabe nimrod
Who only knows how to use worthless, low-level cards.
Look at the sad roster of monsters
These runts are toying with week after week.
It's an embarrassment!
They can't handle real monsters,
Which means they can't handle a real duel,
Which means they have no real abilities.
They're beyond teaching.
I don't know what's goin' on,
But I think the way you're talking about dueling
Is kinda messed up.
My sincere apologies-- I didn't realize
You were on the duel academy faculty.
Oh wait, you're not.
So I don't care what you think!
Now scuttle along and repair
Whatever it is you came here to repair.
I was asked to fix something called the rudolph heitmann.
Do ya' know where that is?
Eh?! The rudolph heitmann?
Yeah. Apparently it has
A few screws loose or something?
Wha, wha, wha, wha?!
I've got news for you!
You are currently conversing with the rudolph heitmann!
You?
Lunaheitmann's the vice chancellor.
Leoand he's planning on expelling our entire class
From the academy.
He thinks we're not good enough to be here.
He isn't giving us a chance.
Ok...i think I get it now...
I was sent here to fix something.
And that's what I'm gonna do.
Hey heitmann-- ya' wanna duel?
If I win, then this entire class
Gets to stay at duel academy.
And if you lose, then these peons
Will spend the rest of the semester shopping around
For an institution willing to accept them!
See you at the battle dome in !
Mariaso the future of the class is in yusei's hands...
Do you think he can handle the vice chancellor?
Well, um-- he once saved the entire city
From total destruction.
So, yeah, I think he can handle heitmann.
Lunathanks for doing this, yusei.
Leoteach that vice chancellor of ours a lesson!
Yuseii'll do my best... But before I go in there,
There's something I need from you guys.
Alwhat can we do?
[Chuckles] you're about to experience
The overwhelming magnitude of my vanguard deck!
Bothlet's duel!
Bothgame on!
Save our class, yusei!
We're rooting for ya!
I hope you studied!
For my first move, I'm summoning
Flamvell guard in defense mode!
Alright, flamvell guard, you rock!
That's it for this turn.
Let's see what you've got.
Let's see what I've got?!
You open up by summoning
A pathetic little tuner monster to the field
And you wanna see what I've got?
Well, since you asked-- I'll show you!
[Laughs]
Oh, sweet sweet fortuity!...
I summon ancient gear statue to the field!
And now, with the help of ancient gear statue,
I shall teach you a very rudimentary lesson
That you seem to have never learned.
{,…}
With att*ck points and defense points.
Leo, luna, and dexterthis doesn't sound too good.
You can traipse about emanating all the fighting spirit
Your itsy-bitsy heart can muster,
But when all is said and done--
Send a weak monster to do a real monster's job,
And you'll always lose.
To amply demonstrate the truth behind this simple maxim--
I shall now activate... The machine duplication spell!
With this spell, I can summon as many
Weak machine-type monsters as I want.
And I just happen to be holding
More ancient gear statues in my hand!
Something tells me he's not stopping there.
I'm not stopping there!
For you see--for every ancient gear statue
I discharge from the field,
I can summon in its place...
How can I say this?--
A monster with a little more "umph!"
Alleh!! Like what?
Whoa! Those things are gigantic.
What are they?
Ancient gear golem.
I've never even heard of that monster.
I've read about it before in books,
But I'm talking about books written by masters
From, like, years and years ago.
And even they had never seen one.
So if these are such rare n' legendary cards,
How does our vice chancellor have them?
Tenure has its privileges!
This card has been passed down over the years
To only the elitist of the elite
Here at duel academy.
This is power, students!
There's nothing wrong with having
Weak monsters in your deck,
But if that's all you have,
If that's all you know how to use, then...
[Laughs] well, that's precisely why
You're being expelled from duel academy,
Because you are not real duelists!
Newsflash, pal--having powerful monsters
Doesn't guarantee you a win...
A "real duelist" would know that.
Ha! Maybe not, but not having them
Guarantees you certain defeat.
To illustrate my point, I will now commence
A full frontal as*ault...
Brace yourself, yusei.
I'll brace myself alright,
By activating my trap card.
Tuner's barrier!
This forms a protective shield
Around my tuner monster.
Now you can't damage it.
Ha! Cute try, but it won't do you any good!
For when ancient gear golem
Battles a monster in defense mode,
You still take the difference as damage!
Allow me to demonstrate!
Ancient gear golem # att*ck flamvell guard!
And then--number follows up
With a smashing att*ck of its own!
Now poor number is feeling left out!
I can't have that!
Go forth, number , smash away!
Akizahe lost , life points...
Allcome on, yusei!
And now, to complete my lesson...
I'm activating the level thunder spell card!
This spell slams you with damage
Equal to the total level of my monsters
Multiplied by .
[Thinking] each ancient gear golem is a level ...
So the total is ...
Guess we're getting expelled after all.
I hope he's got something in place for this.
If he doesn't, this is over, right?
Eh!!
Come on, yusei! Don't let him win.
Heh! Combos like this are why you can't
Fiddle around with puny little monsters!
You have to be strong to survive!
Bothlook out, yusei!
This could be it...
Yusei, you are about to be dismissed!
Bothincoming!
Not so fast,
By discarding hanewata from my hand,
I can protect myself!
There we go. I knew it wasn't
Over yet!
So you held on with the help of another feeble monster...
You're quite persistent, yusei.
You have the tenacity of a cockroach.
But I step on cockroaches!
It's good he held out n' all, but...
The way things're going...
Lunai know...
Don't worry, guys.
I've got a couple lessons of my own.
You've made your case, heitmann,
But I'm not buying it.
And now it's my turn to teach you a lesson.
Ha. With what?!
You've got golems towering over you!
And the only thing standing in their way
Is one lowly little tuner monster!
Or, oh, I get it-- is this a lesson on losing gracefully?
I'm afraid not!
I'm activating-- cards of consonance!
By sending one tuner monster
From my hand to the graveyard...
I can use this spell to draw
More cards from my deck!
I was unaware that tuners could be
Used in such a manner...
Bad news, heitmann.
What? I summon eccentric boy!
And when I use it to synchro summon,
I can choose the other monster I need
Directly from my hand.
And I choose turret warrior.
Now eccentric boy, give turret warrior
A tune-up.
What in the what!?! You can tune a monster
That's not even present on the field?!
Of course!
I would think a "real duelist" would know that.
I synchro summon stardust dragon!
Dexteraw, yeahhh! Bobthis is the greatest day of my life!
Pattythat dragon is awesome!
Yeah, but-- the ancient gear golems
Have more att*ck points.
If there's not more to his strategy,
Yusei's out in the next move.
[Thinking] I knew he wasn't all that...
Yusei, if they could, my ancient gear golems
Would laugh at your sad, infinitesimal dragon.
That lizard's no match for their might!
Yuseiwrong again, heitmann.
What?!
You're right that head to head,
Stardust dragon couldn't destroy
One of your ancient gear golems.
So it's a good thing for me,
There's a lot more to dueling
Than straight-up battles.
From my hand, I play
The variety comes out spell card!
By returning stardust dragon
To my deck...
I can summon as many tuner monsters
From my graveyard as I want...
As long as their combined levels
Equal stardust dragon's.
Wait, what?!
I resurrect-- eccentric boy!
Hanewata! And debris dragon!
Absurd! You're doing this
All backwards, yusei!
You're supposed to employ
Your lowly little peon monsters
To pave the way toward a high-level summon,
You don't summon a monster like stardust dragon
And then--[gasp]
Those're--!...i know those monsters!
That's right.
These monsters about to take you down...?
They belong to the class you want to expel.
They're the monsters you called "worthless."
Here!
Lunacome on, sly-- give him one of your cards, too.
Thanks, you guys.
With all the cards that you're lending me,
There's no way I can lose.
Pattydo your best, yusei.
Leogood luck.
I don't care how many cards you have.
Weakness is still weakness!
And those weak monsters cannot take on my powerful golems!
Which is why they won't be
Taking on your golems.
I activate the tuner's expl*si*n trap!
By destroying the same amount of monsters on my field
As you have on your field,
I can destroy your monsters
At the same time!
Whaaaa-!?! Implausible!
Aah!
Inconceivable!
All golems crashing down at the same time!
It's unfathomable!
And now--for every monster just destroyed,
You take , points of damage!
Aah! And since debris dragon
Is still hangin' around on the field,
It goes in for a direct att*ck!
Aaaah!
Leo, luna, and dexteralright!
Bobhe did it. I knew he could!
And he did it with our monsters, guys.
Our monsters defeated the vice chancellor!
[Cheering]
Impossible...how could I falter with my vanguard deck?
Never could I have ever conceived
That such low-level monsters could have so much potential.
Don't you get it? That's why you lost, heitmann,
Because you underestimated my monsters.
Just like you underestimate this entire class.
They may not have mastered the higher-ups yet,
But they believe in their cards
And they believe in themselves.
And that's what dueling's all about. You again.
If I could've demonstrated that myself, I would've,
But I'm just an administrator.
Chancellor [indistinct]!
Chancellor? That's right.
Personally, I wanted to fire heitmann, but...
One of our biggest donors just happens to be his mother...
Who he still lives with.
If you were teetering on
The verge of f*ring me, sir,
Why didn't you just come to me
And say something?
I tried, but, as usual, you didn't listen.
I understand... It seems that
I've been an impudent blockhead.
Studentsyou're the best! Yusei!
I'm still the one in charge of expulsions!
And I am revoking all of yours.
Studentshooray!
Duel academy gives you thanks, yusei.
Well, it seems your friend martha
Was right about that young man...he is special.
Yes. Now if only I could get him
To keep the noise down.
I'm just glad he was able to help you out.
Hey, sly... Thanks a bunch.
I couldn't've done it without your eccentric boy card...
Whatev'.
[Laughter]
Bobi'll have to tell everybody about this day!
[Thinking] I want it...
....i want his stardust dragon...
And I'll do anything to get it...
[Laughter]
