[bunniefuu]

Mr. Heartlandyou two want to join the world duel carnival?

Nistrothat's right, we want a piece of the action!

If you let us enter,

You won't be sorry.

You'd have to resign from the organizing committee.

But if that's what you really want.

It is mr. Heartland.

Ok then, but if you enter,

I expect you to make it all the way through to the finals.

Is that understood nistro?

Yes mr. Heartland.

You don't have to worry about that.

I have my sites set on someone.

Interesting.

Dextrayou're going after yuma tsukumo?

Yeah.

Remember, he is the one who is playing host to...

The original number!

We'll need to devise a plan.

I don't need one. Not with a deck like mine.

Hold on.

What about the deck mr. Heartland gave to you?

You have to duel with that one.

I thought about using it, but

I'm not really feelin' it. My deck's way better anyway.

And I'll prove it,

By taking down yuma and the original number.

Before anyone else even gets the chance.

When you're as good as me, you don't worry about plans.

What's with the serious look on your face?

You do realize we each have to

Win all five heart pieces in just one day.

My kind of odds dextra.

My kind of odds.

Yumawhat?

Roku went back to the duel sanctuary?

I thought he was gonna stick around and watch me duel.

Grandmahe forgot an old student of

His was visiting today.

But he did say he's proud of your decision to continue down

The path of the duelist.

I just hope I have what it takes.

Kariquit it with the self doubt already.

You're in the world duel carnival now!

So stop worrying and start winning.

You mean it, sis?

Lillybotyuma. You must eat.

You must eat.

Duel fuel!

Duel fuel!

Sweet!

I'm starvin'!

Thanks a lot, lillybot!

Now go out there and high five the sky!

Impossible. Yuma has no vertical.

Yuma has no vertical.

Lillybot, you talk more smack about me than my opponents!

See you guys later!

Torihey yuma, how's it going?

Wow, what's up guys?

Caswell!

You're outta bed!

How're you doing?

You all better?

Caswellkinda. I'm not a % yet, but you know, a tough guy

Like me can't be kept down for too long.

No sir.

No one pushes me around.

Flipyuma! We're all here to cheer you on in the carnival!

Katand watch you pounce the competition!

You guys rule!

Bronkyou know, he's a lot stronger than he looks.

It's the last day of the world duel carnival preliminary rounds

And time is running out!

If you want to be a part of the finals, hurry up and win your

Five heart pieces!

Now get out there and duel!

I've run the numbers yuma and in the end,

You have a great shot at making the finals.

The finals?

That's nuthin'.

I plan on winning the entire carnival!

Cause I'm feeling the...

What's up, yuma?

I was just remembering my dad would always tell me to simply

Become who I wanted to be.

Astralwell yuma it seems that you are certainly honoring

Your father's words.

You set out to be a world champion duelist.

And it appears your goal is well within your grasp.

Hey, so how many heart pieces did you collect so far?

You need five for the finals.

Uh-huh.

That's right!

And I've got these four pieces already.

Nice!

One more and you'll move on!

Time's a tickin guys!

Yuma needs his final heart piece,

So we better find him a duelist to battle!

Yea, like a really rotten one with no ability!

But there's probably no rotten ones left.

Then we'll just hafta' settle for a crummy one.

Yeah, a crummy one!

Thanks for your support. I guess...

Let me see here, a real crummy duelist.

Yuma needs all the help he can get,

So we gotta find him an easy win!

That's right!

Let's all work to find yuma a duelist that he can beat!

And this time, no catnapping.

I bet there's a really terrible duelist hiding out in these back

Alleys, just hoping not to get discovered.

Well, I'll flip their plan on them and tell yuma...

It's n-nistro!

Dextra too?

I picked the wrong alley.

How did you do?

I was hoping getting these three

Heart pieces would be a challenge.

Me too.

Quitting the carnival's organizing committee

Was the right move.

We'll have a full set of heart pieces to

Enter the finals in no time.

They entered the carnival!

Sparrowand now, to finish you off!

Esper star sparrow!

Attack with...

Mega-punch surprise!

As I promised,

I shall now resume autographing!

Girlsthis is the best day of my life!

I can't believe it's him!

Everyone please calm down and form a line, ok?

I promise to sign all of your...

Hey you in the costume!

You look like a duelist who might have a heart piece he's

Willing to part ways with.

A heart piece?

I'm guessing you're in the world duel carnival?

That's right and if you've got a heart piece to help complete my

Set, I'm gonna win it from ya.

I'm afraid...

I must disagree with you.

It is your heart piece that will help me complete my set.

You see I need my fourth heart piece, and yours will do nicely.

Oh, I'm sure it would.

But you don't look like someone who could win it.

Don't get cocky.

He has won three heart pieces after all.

When you're the best, you get to be cocky.

Whoa!

The sparrow!

So much for me finding a crummy duelist.

Bring it on, bird boy!

Duel disk set.

Get ready to feel the heat!

Computer voiceaugmented reality vision link established.

Togetherlet's duel!

Flip!

You made it.

Thanks for calling us about this duel!

Summertori!

What are you two doing here?

Jenwe wanted a really good view of the sparrow's duel.

And of the sparrow!

He's super hot!

Sparrow?

I'm not a hero.

I'm just an average

Middle-school kid from the 'burbs.

It is nice to meet you.

My name is nelson.

Why's nelson dueling in his sparrow getup?

And now fiend, I summon the mighty and powerful

Ironhammer the giant, in defense mode!

Whoa!

Sparrow, I mean nelson's field is already

Full of mind blowing monsters!

Indeed.

He has quite the formidable foursome!

Recalling our own fierce duel with the sparrow reminds me what

An honor it was to face such an exemplary duelist.

Sparrow!

Yuma...

Hey you guys, you gotta check out what nistro's playing!

Wow, he's got some powerful monsters too!

They may give sparrow's, I mean nelson's, a run for their money.

Yeah, nistro's brutal!

He even quit the carnival's organizing

Committee to be able to battle!

Hey, yuma!

I'm coming for you so watch your back!

What?

Why did he just call me out?

And why are his monsters totally different

Than when he took me on?

Perhaps he has optimized his deck for the carnival.

However, currently the sparrow's monsters have the upper hand.

Esper star sparrow,

Attack heroic challenger-spartan directly!

Please,

That move is for the birds!

I activate my spartan's special ability!

Heroic formation!

When my monster is att*cked, its special ability allows all the

Spartans to combine their attack points.

Oh no, the sparrow's goose is cooked!

Unless your friend the sparrow has a trick up his sleeve.

So clever.

But not as clever as this I'm afraid!

I activate my trap change to jet iron!

Now I tribute the sparrow family so that I can summon the truly

Incredible dimensional jet iron!

And its attack points equal the total attack points of the

Monsters that were tributed.

Arise, dimensional jet iron!

That monster is the cat's meow!

And now, dimensional jet iron!

Attack with iron phoenix!

I'm activating my trap card

Heroic guard!

With the power of this trap, by tributing one spartan, I can

Then decrease the damage I take by its attack points.

And here's another trap for you.

Heroic retribution sword!

I can activate this trap when a heroic challenger is destroyed.

If the monster equipped with this sword battles your monster

That destroyed heroic challenger, your monster is

Automatically destroyed, and you

Take damage equal to its attack points.

Peck on that bird boy!

That's points of damage for the sparrow!

This is quite the comeback.

Not on my watch!

I activate dimensional jet iron's special ability!

I tribute it to bring back the

Sparrow family from my graveyard.

Lucky for you, since dimensional jet iron is gone,

My sword's effect ends.

Never thought the first challenge I've had all day

Would be dressed like that!

I refuse to stoop to your level.

But suffice it to say that you

Too have proven to be a worthy foe.

However, we must get back to the duel at hand.

For now, by summoning gairuda, I draw one card and end my turn.

Yes!

This... This... Is the most insane, totally nuts duel ever!

My dueling fever is through the roof!

I can't wait to get out there and battle!

It's payback time you feathered freak!

My spartan wants me to get revenge for its fallen brothers.

In order to do that, I draw!

I tribute my spartan to summon...

Heroic challenger w*r hammer!

And now,

Attack beast warrior puma!

Whoa!

That was some hit!

Puma!

Awww, poor kitty cat.

Looks like that's one cat that didn't have nine lives.

Very funny.

It gets funnier!

I activate warhammer's special ability!

w*r hammer equips the monster it

Destroyed and gains its attack points!

You see that?

With just one card, nistro doubled his advantage!

That was a remarkable strategy!

Puma's attack points will not save you!

Well they sure aren't gonna hurt to have!

Now, I end my turn with a facedown!

Not good 'cause the s on

Weak to take on nistro's wicked w*r hammer!

You're right.

Things don't look too good, bronk!

But somethin' tells me we ain't seen nuthin' yet.

What am I to do?

Focus!

Turn things around.

What would yuma do?

When we dueled, I had him beat,

But he never stopped believing in himself.

That's what "i" need to do now.

My turn!

I draw!

I activate the spell card galaxy queen's light!

With this card, I can select any monster on my field, and all

Other monsters will have the same level as the monster I

Chose until the end of my turn!

Unfortunately for you I choose my level esper star sparrow!

Galaxy queen's light, shower my field with your celestial power!

I overlay my level monsters in order to

Build the overlay network!

Now the power of the sparrow family will join forces so that

I can xyz summon

Superdimensional robot galaxy destroyer!

Prepare to be blasted out of this world!

Attack points!

Whoa the sparrow...

I mean nelson, has really stepped up his game!

Yes, quite so!

I wish I knew why nelson is dueling as the sparrow.

I thought he was through with that!

Well, well, well,

Maybe I underestimated the little bird boy.

Or maybe, once I flip over that card,

He'll find that he underestimated me!

I have seen this technique before.

Nistro likely played the trap card sakuretsu armor.

Which means, the moment the sparrow's monster att*cks,

It instantly gets destroyed.

I activate galaxy destroyer's special ability!

By using one overlay unit,

All the spell and trap cards on your field are destroyed!

Go galaxy break!

What?

Awesome!

w*r hammer's attack points are

Back to where they're supposed to be!

And now, superdimensional robot galaxy destroyer,

Attack w*r hammer!

If this maneuver works out,

Nistro's going down for the count!

Not so fast you costumed crackpot!

I send heroic challenger

Swordshield from my hand to the graveyard.

When I do that, if there's

Or more points of damage dealt to me in battle...

The battle damage is negated,

And my life points become .

No way!

Nistro just survived the attack!

I would have won the duel if you didn't make that move!

Guess my victory is going to have to wait.

Even though the sparrow didn't win there, nistro's down to his

Last hundred life points!

Now for my comeback!

I summon heroic challenger double lance!

And it'll have you seeing double, because this one counts

As two monsters when xyz summoning!

Can it be?

So that means...

That means I overlay two level double lances!

With these two monsters,

I build the overlay network and xyz summon

Heroic champion excalibur!

It seems this duel has taken a most wicked turn!

Now things are going to get worse for you because I'm

Activating excalibur's special ability!

By using one overlay unit, I can double its attack points!

Attack points!

Just like that!

But sparrow's monster has !

Nistro's monster still cannot beat it.

Now I'll really ruffle your feathers, when I activate the

Spell card heroic chance,

And excalibur's attack points are doubled again!

It's got attack points!

And now nistro can beat sparrow!

Heroic champion excalibur,

Attack galaxy destroyer!

Go shark sword slash!

Impossible!

How can this be?

Oh no, sparrow.

He lost, no way!

My wings were clipped.

Sparrow!

Now now yuma, you know my name is nelson.

Of course it is, but why'd you duel as the sparrow?

All part of my strategy.

I thought it might psych my opponents out if they were

Facing a famous, super powerful hero like the sparrow.

I see.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Right back at you. Guess you earned my heart piece.

Nistro.

You quit the carnival committee to duel?

That's right!

I needed a piece of the action.

Seriously?

Be sure to make the finals yuma.

I'll be waiting.

Don't let him get to you.

You know, you're the reason I was able to go the distance!

Remember our duel?

I had you on the ropes but you just wouldn't give up.

Hey guys!

I was just telling yuma that it was his spirit that inspired me

To duel against all odds with nistro.

Whoa, I really inspired a hero?

I may play a hero on television but your relentless spirit in a

Duel makes you my real life hero, yuma.

Whoa the sparrow is a tv superhero,

With bazillions of adoring fans.

But if I'm his hero,

Then that means all his fans are actually mine!
