01x02 - Swing Into Action: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Yuya wanted to duel the reigning champion, Strong Ishijima,

in order to clear the name of his father,

who vanished three years ago before the final match for the champion title.

In order to avoid being hurt,

Yuya has worn the mask of a clown for the past three years,

but he finally got rid of it, and managed to overpower the champion.

Or at least it looked like it, but as suspected, a pro isn't gonna be easy to beat.

But...

Swing, Pendulum! Further...! Even further!

Swing! Pendulum of Souls!

Draw an Arc of Light on the sky!

Pendulum Summon!

Appear now! My faithful Monsters!

What...

...is this...?

Action Duels were born from the realization you could add mass to Solid Vision.

This kind of Duel is one where Duelists and their Monsters on the field unite as one,

and whip the audience up into a storm of enthusiasm.

"The Strongest Evolution of Dueling!! Its Name is Action Duel"

We're detecting high levels of summoning activity from the seafront of the city!

Hurry up with the analysis!

We have the results!

The Summoning Method is... "Pendulum"!

Pendulum Summon?

Three Monsters at the same time?

And that dragon is Level Seven!

He shouldn't be able to Summon high-level Monsters without releasing!

"Battleguard Barbarian King"

B-But since the system isn't signaling an error...

That means his Summon...is legal?!

I activate Entermate Whip Viper's effect!

It switches the Attack and Defense Points of an opponent's Monster!

Barbarian Battleguard King's Attack Power is...

And then Entermate Sword Fish's effect!

He decreases an opposing Monster's Attack Points by during this turn.

Battleguard King's Attack Points have quickly decreased from to !

Battle! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! Attack Battleguard King!

It's time to show us your true power!

I won't let you! I activate my Trap Card, Battleguard Howling!

It returns an attacking Monster to the hand,

and inflicts its Attack Points to you as damage!

O Tmegazer Magician, who rules over Space-Time itself!

Protect me with your ethereal powers!

Timegazer Magician's Pendulum Effect!

Once per turn, he can negate the activation and effect of

a Trap Card that activates by targeting a Pendulum Monster!

Inverse Gears!

Shit! Then...

Action Spell, Evade!

O Stargazer Magician, who rules over Space-Time itself!

Seal my foes with your ethereal powers!

Timegazer Magician's Pendulum Effect!

Once per turn, during the Battle Phase, it negates the effects and activation

of Spell Cards that target an attacking Pendulum Monster on my field!

Horoscope Divination!!

He even negated my Action Spell?!

It's time now, Odd-Eyes!

Burn everything to cinders that your heterochromatic eyes catch a glimpse of!

Spiraling Strike Burst!!

Shit! But in the next turn...

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's effect!

When it battles a Level Five or higher Monster, it inflicts double the Battle Damage!

Reaction Force!!

D-Double?!

This is "The End"!

Did he win?

Yeah...

Whoaaa~! His blood was boilin'!

Wha...? Huh?

Is that Ishijima?!

You won!

You won against Strong Ishijima for your father!

Well done, Yuya!

It was awesome, Yuya!

You did it!

Waahh~! Boilin' blood!

That was rad, Yuya!

To think that he won against the reigning champion!

Pretty cool, huh? A lot of Monsters came out!

I've never seen something like this!

Dammit, what was...

Bravo! Excellent! Congratulations!

It was a splendid victory, Yuya-kun!

Could you introduce that fascinating Summoning Method

that granted you the victory?

Eh? Summoning Method?

Mr. President, we identified the boy.

His name is Sakaki Yuya. years old.

He's an eighth grade student in the Miami City School System.

He's in the Junior Youth Dueling Class.

Here are his tournament results up to now.

A roughly % Win-Lose Ratio...? Where does he duel?

It seems he goes to a Duel School called "You Show Duel School". It's in the city.

You Show Duel School...

Sakaki...Yuya?

Yes, as you can see, he's the son of Sakaki Yushou.

Stop dodging the b*llet and give us some details!

Give us those juicy details!

So the son of Sakaki Yushou, who vanished three years ago,

performed a completely unknown form of Summoning?

Well, I really don't remember anything.

Sakaki Yuya...

You sure are being stingy, Yuya-kun!

Investigate his personal life immediately.

Report to me any information about the Pendulum Summons, no matter how trivial.

Yes, sir!

Uwooo~! Awesome!

All these people want to join our Duel School!?

For those who wish to apply to our Duel School,

please fill out these application forms with your name!

Yes!

I wanna enroll!

Me too, me too!

Here, here, here!

Big Sis Yuzu!

Ayu-chan! Futoshi-kun!

You both came!

Even though the principal told everyone to come,

"everyone" seems to be just you guys, and me and Ayu!

Where's the principal?

Rubbing his cheeks against the Solid Vision System in the back.

Thanks to Yuya, we got the latest Solid Vision System.

He's been clinging to it since this morning, giddy with joy!

As expected, Big Bro Yuya saved You Show Duel School!

Yeah, everyone admires him!

That Pendulum Summon he did was so awesome.

Gave me goosebumps~!

You're gonna show us the Pendulum Summon today, aren't ya?!

We plan to show you, of course.

But...you can only see it if you apply to our Duel School.

I want to!

Me too!

Come on, come on!

Please line up in an orderly fashion...!

And only one person at a time! Ah, geeez!

And on top of it all, I'm Yuya's opponent for our exhibition match...

But I can't even get ready like this...

It cannot be helped.

I, the manly Gongenzaka, will take over as the opponent for the exhibition match.

Eh~!?

It's Principal Hiiragi's daughter's turn, Gongenzaka.

It's embarrassing if we've gotta ask for help off someone from one of our rival Duel Schools.

Outsiders go over here.

Ou...Outsider!?

Leave this to us and go duel, Big Sis Yuzu.

Thanks guys, I'll trust you with this.

You're the one from before...

So you came back?

Our You Show Duel School is a Duel School that seeks to

teach pupils the ways of Entertainment Dueling,

the form of Dueling the legendary Duel Star, Sakaki Yushou, took the world by storm with.

For those that don't know, years ago, the Leo Corporation developed...

How much longer will this go on?

...Solid Vision with mass, which resulted in the sudden evolution of Dueling.

I wanna see the Pendulum Summoning soon.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welcome to my One Man Show today!

What do you mean "One Man Show"!?

You can't duel by yourself!

Who's that girl?

She's terrible for beating up Yuya-kun!

- Forfeit! - Forfeit!

I get it...I'm playing that part....

In that case, I'm going to play the villainous heel!

Yuya, don't go and get a big head just 'cuz you're a bit famous now!

I'm gonna beat the tar outta you!

Eh?

Hey, Yuya, trade some barbs with me!

Eh? Ahh...

O...Oh no! You're Miss Strong Ishijima!

M... Miss Strong!?

It's ridiculous to think you'd come here to take revenge for your master!

I'll turn the tables on you by using Pendulum Summoning!

- Who the hell are you calling Miss Strong Ishijima, Yuya!?

Good, good. He's getting everyone excited!

Gongenzaka, turn on the Solid Vision System!

It is inexcusable for you two to ask me, Gongenzaka, to do a lackey's work!

I activate the Field Spell Card, Plain Plain!

Wooo~! How refreshing!

This is the realism of the latest kind of Solid Vision.

You can practically imagine the cool breeze blowing in your mind.

The Duelists have gathered in this combat hall...

...where monsters can kick up the dirt and fly through the air...

...riding around the field!

Behold, the latest and greatest evolution in Dueling!

ACTION!

DUEL!

I'll be going first! I Summon Entermate Hip Hippo from my hand!

It's here, it's here! Hippo, Hippo!

Yuya uses it as part of his plan to ride around and find Action Cards. Go!

OKAY! So everyone in the audience understands? Then I end my turn!

Like heck I'll let you. My turn! Draw!

I Summon Aria the Melodious Diva!

Battle, Aria!

Attack his Entermate Hip Hippo!

Sharpness Voice!

I activate the Action Spell, Evade!

Rolling Hippo!

Don't be so sure of that, now!

I activate the effect of my Aria the Melodious Diva!

When she fails to inflict Battle Damage, she'll instead inflict damage to the opponent!

Resonating Wave!

You won't be able to escape from I, Strong Yuzu!

And with this, I end my turn!

Ouch...

Hey, this isn't the time to be sitting on your butt.

You have to keep being "cool" after you went and decided I should be the heel here.

It's all up to you, Big Bro Yuya!

Go and Pendulum!

PENDULUM! PENDULUM! PENDULUM!

Look, everyone's expecting you to do it!

YEAH, leave it to me!

Here comes the fun part!

No, they weren't referring to your pose...!

It's my turn! Draw!

"Timegazer Magician"

It's here!

Although I don't remember how I did it,

I did watch it on TV later...

I set the Pendulum Scale using my Scale Four Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and

the Scale Eight Timegazer Magician!

YEAH, here it comes, everyone! PENDULUM!

Pendulum! Pendulum!

Here comes a Pendulum Summon!

Come on out, my Monsters!

Nothing appeared.

But why?

Hey, what the heck's goin' on? Sword Fish! Whip Viper!

Come out with a bang like you did before!

Why the heck's there an error?!

Even though I placed my Pendulum Cards on the Duel Disk...

Pendulum Cards?

What's that?

Come on...brain, remember...

When I did it last time...well...

Ishijima got rid of my Odd-Eyes, and I was in a ton of trouble...

Right! A pinch...

Maybe it's a special move you can only pull off if you're in a pinch.

That's a classic!

And with this, I end my turn!

Now, Yuzu, come on and attack me!

Eh?! Attack you?

Yeah, and don't pull any punches!

If Yuya says so, then do it!

And give it everything you've got!

Y...Yeah, got it!

It's my turn! Draw!

If I control a "Melodious" Monster on the field...

I can Special Summon this card.

I Special Summon Sonata the Melodious Diva!

By releasing Aria the Melodious Diva and Sonata the Melodious Diva...

I Advance Summon my "Prodigy Mozarta the Melodious Maestra"!

And now I activate the effect of my "Prodigy Mozarta the Melodious Maestra"!

Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Level Four or lower "Melodious" Monster from my hand!

I Special Summon another copy of "Aria the Melodious Diva"!

First, I'll get rid of that annoying hippo of yours.

Aria! Attack Entermate Hip Hippo!

Come on and bring it!

Come on, come on, it's time to Pendulum!

Pendulum! Pendulum!

Hit me with your best shot, Yuzu!

Good, 'cuz here I come!

Prodigy Mozarta the Melodious Maestra, attack Yuya directly!

Graceful Wave!

Yeah, now I'm in trouble.

And with this, I Pendulum Summon!

Eh?!

Hey!

It's over?

What about the Pendulum Summon?

Owwww...

Hey! What the heck happened?

Uh, no...! Just wait a sec! That was, um...

Um, I have a question for you.

S-Sure. What is it?

You mentioned a "Pendulum Card" just now, right?

Pendulum Card?

Uh, well, that's just what I went and called it.

I'm not sure about their official name...

Let me see 'em.

Sure.

"Aria the Melodious Diva", "Timegazer Magician"

So this is a Pendulum Card?

So that means you can't Pendulum Summon without cards like this?

That's not fair!

Besides, did Pendulum Summon even exist in the first place?

Right! How do we know you didn't screw around with Ishijima's system?!

Otherwise, there's no way you could've summoned so many Monsters at once!

So he'd go that far just to beat the Champion?

He really is the son of a coward.

No, I wouldn't...

Whoa, just wait a minute there!

Hold on, Yuya.

Big Bro Yuya is not a cheat!

He didn't rig the system!

He fought Ishijima fair and square, and beat him!

He beat him with the Pendulum Summon!

Yuya! Doesn't it frustrate you that your first fan has to talk like this?!

My first fan?

Yup. This kid's Tatsuya-kun, who came here a while ago for a study group.

He said he became a total fan of yours after he saw your match against Ishijima, Big Bro Yuya!

It totally gave me goosebumps!

I thought you were amazing!

Dueling in front of all those people like that...

Bringing all those people together with a single Duel!

I also want to have a Duel like that!

A Duel just like yours, Big Bro Yuya!

I also...

...want to have a Duel like that once again.

In front of that large audience!

You already remade yourself during that battle.

Into a man who doesn't run away!

Gongenzaka...

So do your best for your fans!

We're your fans, too!

From here on out! Right, Tatsuya-kun?

Right!

And with that, we have a new member for the You Show Duel School!

Eh?! You're gonna enter?! For real?! All right!

My blood's startin' to boil!

Guess an entertainer can't let down his fans, huh?

I'm definitely gonna master this Pendulum Summoning!

Yuzu! Gongenzaka! Take me on!

- Sure! - Sure!

So...I just gotta steal 'em?

Those "Pendulum Cards" or whatever?

Correct. And I won't question your methods.

As long as you get them to us,

I'll trade you those rare cards you've been after.

Roger that.

Now, I'm gonna catch that heartpounding dream, and release my overflowing tears

I take my first step onto the field , that Fabulous One Step to see a miracle

I realized that strength isn't given

So, I reach for it, one step after another

I gotta keep moving, can't stand still

Even if walls or fierce winds stand in my way

I take a step forward, drawing my Trump Card called "Courage"

And believe in the story of victory

Everyone who stands in my way, is a Duelist to be tested

Even if I have a painful moment, I'll just Smile, Jump, Fight & Step Up!

Smiling is energy, as I kick away my desire to run away

And I leap towards a new Field, and take a Shiny One Step towards the future

I take a step forward... It might just be a single step, but this is my Big Chance!!
