02x43 - Tough Love

[bunniefuu]

Syrus: once you see my sumbarineroid's special ability,

You're gonna wish you never challenged me!

What kinda special ability are we talkin' here?

So glad you asked!

It can attack you directly!

Eh!

Aah!

That's game.

So what happened to you, truesdale?

Last week, you were hiding in garbage cans!

Now you're kicking butt!

What changed, man?

Nothing.

What do you mean, "nothing changed"?

Now you've got something to fight for.

That's what changed.

You've been winning duels and taking names!

And gx medals.

Thanks, jay,

But I'm still not good enough yet.

Come on, sy. How'dya know?

I mean...you hafta face zane eventually.

And besides, there's no "right time" to duel your brother.

Ya' know?

But what if I lose?

Remember that power bond card zane game me?

Well, there's a reason it's not in my deck.

Ya see... I'm not ready for it.

I have to feel like I'm good enough on my own.

Then I'll add it to my deck and take on zane!

Hassleberry: hey, soldiers!

We got trouble!

Zane and aster just bumped shoulders in the courtyard,

And it's about to get ugly!

A major battle's about to go down!

Aster: so what's up with the new goth look, truesdale?

Don't tell me that you've resorted to scaring your opponents into defeat?

Or are you just depressed that I beat you on tv?

Want revenge? Here's your chance.

Whatever.

Should I take that as a "yes"?

Syrus: break it up!

Both of you get back to your corners and chill out!

Aster, listen!

You can't go through with this duel.

Zane's not who he used to be.

Look at him.

He wants revenge, and he means business.

Uh, guess again.

Huh?

Revenge? He doesn't want revenge.

I mean, I've been talking trash for, like, minutes,

And your brother won't even take the bait.

If that's true,

Then what is it you want, zane?

He just wants to win,

And he doesn't really care who he has to step on.

According to your brother,

All he really cares about is victory!

That's right.

You people are all the same to me:

A bunch of worthless maggots.

[Gasp]

Jaden: well, that settles it.

Whatta ya mean by that?

Yeah, jay.

It's simple.

You hafta teach him the meaning of respect, syrus.

In other words,

I think it's time you faced your brother in a duel!

You can't keep putting this off.

I know that you don't think you're ready yet,

But you've always been ready.

Thanks, jaden.

All right, zane!

I'm dueling you to a challenge!

What I mean is,

I'm challenging you to a duel, bro!

It's your funeral, little man.

But if you are serious

About going through with this,

Then you'll hafta enter my world!

These make the duel more electrifying.

[Gasp]

[Screaming]

Every life point lost is a shock to the system!

Meet the new me.

Thanks to duels like this, your brother was reborn.

Uh...happy birthday?

What'll it be?

You gonna meet me in the shadows or not?

Jaden: hey, uh, sy?

About that speech I just gave you--

Not only will I meet you there,

But I'll bring you back!

Hassleberry: you can still retreat!

It's his decision, hassleberry.

I guess.

Just chill, bro.

If anything happens, we're right here.

Don't worry. It's all good.

Thanks, jaden.

I've been waiting a long time for this, zane.

Game on!

I may actually enjoy myself!

And I'll start with this!

My infernal dragon in defense mode!

Then I'll play a facedown and let you off the hook.

No defense points?

But then why would he put that thing in defense mode?

Syrus: time for a real move!

To start, I'll summon this!

My truckroid!

Zane: nice toy.

Didn't you have one just like that

When you were in diapers?

Ah...maybe.

Anyway, brace yourself!

'Cause my truckroid's gonna run you down!

Now truckroid's special ability kicks in!

I know you want your dragon in the graveyard,

But no such luck!

'Cause he's combining with my truckroid instead!

How long have you been keeping an eye on my duels, little brother?

Long enough to know you've got that underworld deck

And you need monsters in your graveyard.

You'll still lose, twerp.

We'll see about that, zane!

I end my turn.

Let the destruction begin!

I play... Exploder dragon!

Attack his truckroid

With cannonball clash!

But why would he attack?

His monster's weaker than mine!

What happened to truckroid?!

Looks like it's gone.

I guess I shoulda warned you about my dragon's special ability.

When it att*cks,

Both monsters are instantly destroyed.

Moving on, I play quick summon!

This allows me to instantly summon another monster!

So now, meet cyber dark horn!

Aw, man!

When you sent my truckroid to the graveyard,

Your infernal dragon went there along with him!

That's right!

And by your whimpering tone,

I take it you know that when cyber dark horn is summoned,

It can bring back a dragon from my graveyard

And absorb its attack points!

And now, dark horn, attack that runt directly!

[All gasp]

You triggered my trap card!

It's called life force,

And once I pay points,

I can cancel out your attack!

Maybe, but you'll still feel the pain

Of the points you sacrificed!

[Gasp]

[Screaming]

I'm beginning to see your strategy now.

You've stacked your deck with cards that help reduce battle damage.

But as you see, even they come with a price.

The pain isn't too much, is it?

Tell me, sy, how long can you last

Before you fall?

[Grunting]

By the looks of you, I'd say not too much longer.

But that's no surprise.

Guess again. I'll be fine!

Watch this!

I play submarineroid!

And thanks to its effect,

Submarineroid's able to sneak past your monsters!

And then, it's in prime position to attack you directly!

Now launch your subterranean sneak attack!

Let's see how you like it!

Didn't that hurt?

[Groan]

All right, fine.

I switch him to defense, place this face down,

And that's all.

It's funny.

After a while, you actually get used to the pain.

Eventually, it no longer hurts, sy.

In fact, it begins to make you feel stronger.

I don't think of it as anguish anymore.

Now I think of it as the feeling of victory!

And speaking of victory,

I summon cyber dark edge!

It pulls my exploder dragon from the graveyard

And absorbs its power!

Now, cyber dark horn,

Destroy submarineroid!

Not if I play this!

Cyber repairer!

It lets you draw one more card from your deck.

In return, submarineroid's invincible!

Well, at least during this turn.

You spared your monster.

However, you aren't so lucky.

Ya see, dark horn has more points,

Which lowers your score, bro.

But if I play life force,

All I hafta do is give up a few points,

And the battle damage is zero!

But still, you'll taste the pain.

[Screaming]

And there's more.

Dark edge has a special ability.

By dropping half it's points,

It can attack you directly!

Go, life force!

I guess you've been through enough--

Well, for now.

Oh, man. This is nuts!

Zane's taken this duel too far!

Syrus: what are you thinking, zane?

This isn't a duel. It's sick!

Just give it some time.

Trust me,

When I started dueling in the underground,

I felt the same way,

But then I discovered the pleasure of pain.

Duels aren't all fun and games.

They hurt!

They're about enduring anguish

And making your opponent suffer!

You don't mean that!

You used to care, zane!

And you used to have respect for your opponents!

Respect is for losers.

No, it's not! I'll prove it!

You just watch. My move!

I play pot of greed!

So I draw two cards!

Next, I summon cycroid!

That's not all. Then I'll add this!

A pair of training wheels!

Laugh all you want, zane!

'Cause in a second,

I'll be laughing when it att*cks you directly!

And my sumbarineroid's gonna cause a little damage, too!

So I'm gonna switch it into attack mode!

Now, submarineroid and cycroid,

Attack him directly!

[Grunting]

Submarineroid goes into defense.

And then, cycroid is removed from play.

All right, zane, do your worst.

You better watch what you wish for!

I activate pot of greed!

So I pick up two more cards.

Then I play my cyber dark keel!

How many "cyber dark" things can one guy have!?

Now, cyber dark horn,

Eliminate submarineroid!

Life force, activate now!

[Gasp]

[Screaming]

Enjoying the pain yet?

Just wait, 'cause I've got more!

A double direct attack!

Life force... Activate!

[Gasp]

[Screaming]

Syrus!

I'll place one card facedown

And give you a shot.

Zane, who are you?

I don't know you anymore.

Well, whoever you are,

I'm done with respecting you.

Excellent. Now you get it!

Respecting your opponent is absolutely pointless.

Ya know why?

Because only victors deserve respect, sy!

As for the losers,

They deserve only pain!

The world is made of hurt.

You either get hurt, or you control the hurt...

And inflict it upon the weak!

You see that now, don't you?

You feel it!

Maybe...he's right.

Jaden: syrus, no!

It's not true!

Don't listen ta' him! He's wrong!

Fight it!

And don't forget, zane isn't himself!

You need to remind him about respect!

Respect for his cards, respect for his opponent,

And respect for himself!

Good point, jay!

My move!

How did power bond get in my deck?

I hid that card in my room!

Aha!

Jaden: let's just say I sorta stumbled across it.

But I told you I don't wanna use that card

Until I'm ready!

Look, I may have shuffled it into your deck,

But I didn't make you draw it!

That happened because you're ready, sy!

Can't you see?! That card chose you!

Now play it!

And teach your brother about respect!

[Chuckle]

Please. He doesn't have the guts.

Oh, yeah!?

Well, first, I'll bring back my cycroid!

And then, I play my power bond.

That means all I hafta do now

Is send two cycroids to the graveyard,

And I can fuse them to summon pair cycroid!

And since I played power bond,

My cycroid's attack points multiply by two!

The only downside is I have to give up , life points.

And now, cycroid's special ability activates!

Ha ha!

By dropping points,

It can attack you directly!

Pair cycroid attack!

Double cyclone!

I activate my trap!

It's a card known as power wall!

Now, for every card I send to my grave,

You lose a hundred points!

And I'm ditching cards!

I place one card facedown.

You said it yourself.

Power bond has a price, and it's a fatal one.

You need to give up , points,

And that's exactly how many you have left!

You're forgetting something.

That's how many you have, too.

And I play my trap!

Mirror damage!

Now listen up 'cause this gets complicated!

Since cycroid's attack points

Are about to come out of my life points,

I can reflect that damage on to you!

Nice try, zane.

You put up a good fight,

But not good enough, I'm afraid!

We'll see,

'Cause I activate... My fusion guard!

So once I send a fusion monster to my graveyard,

I'm safe!

And your time's just about up!

Your move.

I have one card left.

Yeah?

One card, and I'll still beat you.

You might. N'ya might not.

Let's find out!

Ready!? I play warp beam!

So I'll select two monsters on my side of the field.

Now, who should I choose?

I think I'll go with my cyber dark keel and my cyber dark horn!

Next, all I have to do is send two monsters to the graveyard,

And the fun can begin!

Dark keel and dark horn's attack power decreases to ,

But now they can attack you directly!

Plus, by cutting its attack points in half,

My dark edge can strike you directly as well!

[Thinking] if I use life force

To survive this triple attack,

Zane'll have no cards left, and I'll win!

This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me!

I activate my life force!

So I pay points for each dragon!

To stop them in their tracks!

[Screaming]

Stay strong!

You're home free!

I did it.

Not quite.

I reveal my trap card!

Rebirth judgment!

Now I have the power to transform every creature in our graveyards

Into any type of monster I choose!

Which means... They all become dragons!

And one more thing.

I activate this!

My instant fusion spell card!

I send my horn, my edge, and my keel to the graveyard

So I can summon my cyber dark dragon!

I don't get it.

Why did you need that rebirth card?

Huh, zane?

It's simple.

Now all the monsters in my graveyard are dragons.

So my dark dragon can absorb any of them!

And I choose my cyber end dragon!

Oh, and one more thing:

For every dragon card in my graveyard,

Cyber dark dragon's attack strength increases by a hundred points!

And since I've got a total of dragons in my graveyard,

You're out of luck!

[Gasp]

Oh, man.

He's got points.

So even if he plays life force,

It's over.

Poor lil' guy.

It's been a real blast!

But it's time I ended this duel!

Cyber dark dragon, attack!

I've still got a facedown card!

So now I activate emergency provisions!

So I'm safe!

'Cause now all I hafta do

Is send one 'a my spell or trap cards

To the graveyard,

And I gain a thousand life points!

So I'm discarding this!

My mirror damage trap!

Which means my cycroid goes with it!

And then, thanks to life force,

Your cyber dragon's attack doesn't do any damage!

[Yelling]

Ok, that hurt. But I did it.

De-fusion?

But that means--

It means I win!

Just like I said I would!

Well, sy, so long!

[Shouts

[All gasp]

[Screaming]

[Chuckles]

[Groan]

Hey!

Syrus! You ok, bro?

Jaden: say something!

I'm fine.

But where's my brother?

He's gone.

He can't be, not yet.

I still...ohh.

Syrus!? Wake up, man.

Someone help!

My friend needs a doctor!
