03x07 - An Academic Test

[bunniefuu]

I see, Akaba Reiji is leading the Lancers himself...

I left Standard because of Akaba Reiji.

Huh?

You and Akaba Reiji..?

But why...

The ARC Area Project.

In line with the plans of the Fusion Dimension's Academia,

The Xyz Dimension's city, Heartland, is pushed to the brink of destruction.

A sea of despair, A closing door.

Nowhere to go, a fading light.

The sweet whispers of the darkness.

Emotions torn between conflicting ideals.

I don't know which one to choose!

Even if I try to push my way through with force,

What will it even change?

No matter what I do, I can't I can't move.

Connecting, bonding, the sound of love, individual worlds,

Embrace karma, you cannot escape because...

Only I can overcome myself!

Hatred is not what will create our tomorrow.

Smiles are what make people stronger!

Divide the darkness and press forward.

When you are struggling is the time to smile!

I do believe in myself.

I believe!

It's starting! Showtime!

ARC Area Project

Three years ago, Akaba Reiji went across dimensions looking for his father.

I'm not done talking to you!

What did you mean by advance and destroy!?

It is to unite all the worlds.

This is...

After being sent back to the Standard Dimension by his father, Reiji...

...came to a conclusion after reviewing what was left of his father's research.

So this means my father...

...is trying to rule over these four worlds using Dueling!

I had to...

No...

I chose to take over the Leo Corporation in order to stop my father's ambition.

And for our m*llitary force to head him off, I need a leader.

I would like you to be that leader!

His emotions reached me, so much that it hurt.

But if it was me...

A man who helped build up the Real Solid Vision System and Action Dueling alongside Akaba Leo...

I thought I could talk to him as an equal.

I forcefully used a dimensional transfer device that Reiji's research team had been developing on their own,

and made my way to Academia.

That was...

Yes.

The day I had my Championship Match with Strong Ishijima.

My father will come!

I'll fight you until then!

That's enough!

Duel me!

Stop, Yuuya!

I want to tell Yuuya that right now...

His father went on his own to save everyone!

But I didn't make it to Academia...

When I came to my senses, I was in a different dimension.

There, I met Duelists who used Xyz monsters.

I taught them that Duels are to bring everyone smiles.

But eventually, that peaceful city...

...was att*cked by Academia.

Sensei...

Sensei, it's time for your treatment.

Yeah.

Is his leg hurt?

Yes, it's because of Edo...

Asuka-san, why did Academia start the dimensional w*r?!

Academia students are fighting to create a utopia of peace for everyone.

Huh?

Their plan is called the ARC Area Project.

ARC Area Project?

The Professor's plan to bring the four dimensions to create a utopia.

But in reality...

It began an all-out w*r for Academia to rule over the other dimensions.

One year earlier, it was officially announced,

And the Commander-in-Chief chosen for it was Edo.

I wasn't chosen for the first squadron that was formed but,

I had planned to join the forces once the order was given.

I was taught that the ARC Area Project was doing what was right in order to save the world.

And I had confidence in my Dueling skills to serve that role.

I've left you a change of clothes here.

Thank you, Asuka-san.

Take your time.

The first squadron has come back!

The heroes have come home!

How many did you turn into cards?

I got , you?

! I won!

That was really fun! It was just like a hunting game!

I hope they give us the next order to deploy soon!

What's wrong?

What happened?

Everyone else looks so happy...

There's no way I could smile!

Doing something like that...

I can't believe they can just smile like nothing's wrong!

Something like that...?

Turning people... into cards!

Well, we do have to settle things one way or another.

There are always sacrifices that will come with doing what is right.

Our enemies are Duelists as well, so-

It wasn't just Duelists!

Huh?

The order we received when we got there was complete subjugation of the Xyz Dimension!

We were ordered to turn all of the civilians into cards as well!

Civilians?!

Yes...

Everyone, even those who weren't resisting!

We turned countless civilians into cards as they begged for mercy.

Women, children, the elderly, everyone!

Is that really the right thing!?

W-What...

I don't ever want to do something like that!

Please, run away with me!

Run away?

Me?

I don't want you to have to experience something like that, Asuka!

I believed in Academia, and the Professor.

I thought that making the four dimensions one with the ARC Area Project was a wonderful thing.

Uniting everyone and making a utopia a reality...

I thought I could make her understand that too...

But...

Even those who are lacking in loyalty can be of use to the ARC Area Project.

Of use...?

Stand back!

What!?

So that's how you met him?

Yes...

But then he collapsed right on the spot.

Huh?

Did Edo get him?

Yes, it was just after he had been thrown across dimensions from Dueling him in the Xyz Dimension.

He told me as much as he could.

What exactly happened in the Xyz Dimension.

Everyone here...

Are all kids who have scars in their heart from being dispatched to the Xyz Dimension.

Yuushou thought he could teach these kids that Dueling is for bringing smiles to others.

So that's why I created this You Show Duel School with him.

My dream is to save as many of my comrades as I can from Academia,

And eventually Academia itself...

Asuka-san.

Let me help you with that dream!

I'll do anything that I can!

Asuka-san, we have an emergency!

What happened?

W-We were trying to rescue this kid and Academia found us!

Our comrades were...!

Instead of running away, you stayed behind to avenge your comrades...

What beautiful friendship.

But I'm sure you'll come to regret it.

Oh well...

I was ordered to turn all of those who oppose Academia into cards anyways.

Go ahead and show me what you're capable of.

I was looking to k*ll some time after all.

Let's at least make this fun.

DUEL!

I Summon Predator Plants Skid Drosera from my hand.

And I activate the Continuous Magic: Predator Planter...

...to Special Summon Predator Plants Moray Nepenthes with its effect negated.

All players cannot att*ck on their first turn.

So with that I end my turn here.

My turn!

I activate the Magic Card: Fusion from my hand!

I Fuse my Steamroid, Drillroid and Submarineroid in my hand!

Fusion {c&HFFFD&c&HFFFD&tta&H&}Summon!

Come forth!

Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill!

You're a deserter who ran away from Academia, right?

I'm amazed you can still Summon a Fusion monster with no shame!

Shutup!

Academia should be ashamed of themselves!

I don't want to sadden people with Dueling anymore!

I swore that I'll Duel for what is truly right!

What is truly right...?

To make everyone smile with Dueling!

I end my turn here!

Make everyone smile?

That's obviously impossible!

Dueling is a match, you know!

The only ones who smile are the winners!

Our teacher told us...

True Duels make not only the winners, but everyone playing and watching smile!

My turn!

I activate the Magic Card: Fusion!

And I fuse the Big Koala and Des Kangaroo in my hand!

Fusion Summon!

Come forth!

Master of Oz!

Dueling has the power to make everyone smile!

I end my turn!

Then I'd like you to smile when I turn you into a card.

Because I don't plan on losing.

As if!

How do you plan to win five on one?!

I'll have you laugh your fill as you lose!

My turn!

I activate the Magic Card: Fusion,

And fuse the Ojama Yellow, Green and Black in my hand!

Fusion {c&HFFFD&c&HFFFD&tta&H&}Summon!

Come forth!

Ojama King!

Hold on!

What the heck is that?!

Look you're already smiling!

As long as Ojama King is on the field, your usable monster card zones are reduced by three!

Both their appearance and effect is really unpleasant...

Let's go!

My turn!

I summon V-Tiger Jet from my hand!

And I activate the Continuous Magic: Frontline Base and Special Summon W-Wing Catapult from my hand!

Oh? You aren't going to use Fusion?

I can perform a Fusion Summon without using it!

I banish V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult and Fusion Summon VW-Catapult Tiger!

So you can do it like that also?

You're a lot more interesting than the last one.

Laugh while you still can!

I set one card and end my turn!

My turn!

I Summon X-Head Cannon!

And I activate the Continuous Magic: Frontline Base and Special Summon Y-Dragon Head from my hand!

Then I activate the Magic Card: Foolish Burial!

I send Z-Metal t*nk from my Deck to my Graveyard!

Now, I activate the Magic Card: Iron Call from my hand!

And with it, I Special Summon the Z-Metal t*nk I sent to my Graveyard with its effect negated!

With this I now control an X, Y, and Z monster!

I banish these three and Fusion Summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon!

You're not too bad yourself, either!

Truly a big difference than that last guy!

You won't be able to talk like that for much longer!

I activate XYZ-Dragon Cannon's monster effect!

I send one card from my hand to the Graveyard and destroy your Moray Nepenthes!

Aww man, I let my guard down since you couldn't att*ck on the first turn....

But you took them out with an effect.

I'm not done yet!

This isn't all we've got!

My brother and I aren't even at our full strength yet!

I activate the Trap Card: Fellow's Gift!

I transfer control of VW-Tiger Catapult to my younger brother!

Thanks, brother!

I banish his VW-Tiger Catapult and my XYZ-Dragon Cannon!

And I Fusion Summon VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!

Impressive.

As expected of brothers, you're perfectly in sync!

VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon's monster effect!

Once per turn, I can banish a card my opponent controls!

I banish Skid Drosera!

How's that? Now all of the monsters you've Summoned are gone!

And now, Skid Drosera's monster effect activates!

When this card leaves the field it gives all of my opponents' Special Summoned monsters a Predator Counter!

What?!

Now then, hurry up and end your turn.

Because it's my turn to have fun next!

I-I end my turn...

Then here I come!

My turn!

At this moment, I pay the Continuous Magic: Predator Plant's cost of LP.

And I activate its effect.

I Special Summon Moray Nepenthes from my Graveyard with its effect negated.

Next, I Summon Predator Plants Fly Hell from my hand.

Then it's finally time for that to appear.

I activate the Magic Card: Fusion from my hand.

And fuse Moray Nepenthes and Fly Hell!

Two beautiful flowers with a deadly alluring fragrance!

Join together and create a new terror from the hell that lies beneath your petals!

FusionSummon!

Come forth!

Poison dragon with hungering fangs!

Level !

Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!

Star Venom Fusion Dragon's monster effect!

Its is increased by the total of the of all the Special Summoned monsters my opponents control this turn.

What?!

Special Summoned?!

All of it?!

An of ?!

Once per turn, Starve Venom can gain the effect of a monster my opponent controls.

I'll be using your monster's effect!

Mine?!

Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill's?!

Yes, since it allows me to deal piercing damage onto monsters in Defense Position!

So then, shall we begin?

I'll start with you, the one with no monsters.

Go! att*ck directly, Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!

Next, I send Predator Plants Skid Drosera to my Graveyard and activate its monster effect.

This turn, Starve Venom Fusion Dragon must att*ck every monster with a Predator Token on it!

Go! att*ck Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill!

att*ck Master of Oz!

att*ck Ojama King...

Finally, att*ck VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult!

Well, that was a letdown.

This didn't even manage to k*ll some time...

Oh?

So you're here too?

You know him?!

Yes... He's been chasing after me through the Standard and Synchro Dimensions!

That's rude, not even saying my name?

It's have one, you know? It's Yuuri.

Please call me that, Yuzu...

But I'm glad we met.

I'm sure the Professor will be happy as well.

Now come with me.

You bastard! This time you won't get away!

Huh? He disappeared?!

Where did he go!?

Yuugo!

Why are you here?!

You too!

You're alive!?

Yuzu!

Yuzu!

I was certain Sergey had gotten you!

And that you had passed on...

Don't say creepy things like that!

What's this?

More importantly, did you know, Yuzu?!

Academia is here!

So that means Rin has to be there!

Not just Rin, Ruri and Selena are there too!

Selena too?!

Yes, she got taken back.

Right in front of Yuuya and me...

According to a report from Noro in the dispatch squad...

Those who use Pendulum Summoning are in Heartland.

We have confirmed that Lancers have appeared there.

They must also be eliminated so that the ARC Area Project continues without complications.

Can you handle that?

Well, it's not like the slow one is going to be of any use on that end.

And Edo is lacking in actual field experience too.

Yeah.

That means our powers are necessary for this.

I'm looking forward to it.

Don't do that, don't hide your tears, pierrot. Don't lie to your emotions.

Days when you fail over and over, every time you're about to give in, you cover it up with a smile.

We can't give up because we have a plan of the future, the dice have already been cast.

What are you drawing in your conflict? A vision I've painted all by myself.

Don't do that, don't repeat your mistakes! Saying it's impossible is just an excuse!

It's not a lie. Your smile is what has given me strength time and time again.

You are the vision I've drawn.

Dame janai namida wo kakusu piero kimochi ni uso wo tsuita boku

Kuroboshi darake no hibi kujikesou ninaru tabi waratte gomakashiteta

Uso janai anata no egao kosoga boku ni nando datte chikara kureruyo

Shun put his life on the line to convey how important comrades are by Dueling!

That's why I will bring Kaito back to us!

There's no way a Heartland civilian would just be working around.

So then these guys must be Lancers?

Good thing we found them so quickly isn't it, Grace?

Before heading to the Command-in-Chief let's get a souvenir for Edo and the slow one, Gloria.

Next time, Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V:

The Duel-Starved Amazoness

The fun has just begun!

The Duel-Starved Amazoness
