03x10 - Rockin' and Rollin'

[bunniefuu]

I'm getting sick of these traps...

Pull yourself together, Yuma !

Up ahead, there is another trap !

Turn left, please turn left !

( Yuma ) Whoa, whoa !

That was too close !

Yuma !

You need to stay more alert !

You almost got us--

...Yuma ?

( Yuma ) Dextra...

Kite...

Quattro...

Quinton...

And Shark...

It's too much...

( Tori ) Hang on !

( Yuma ) Look...

( Tori ) Can't look too bright... !

This must be the desert field...

( Nistro ) 'Bout time you showed up.

Nistro...

What are you doing here ?

Well, seems it's down to you and me this round...

This is where we're gonna duel...

And just so you know, I don't plan on losing !

( Mr. Heartland ) Ladies and gentlemen !

There's only one spot left in the semi-finals !

Who will advance ?

Yuma Tsukumo or Nistro ?

We're about to find out as we watch them

coast through the desert field of danger !

You ready ?

You know it !

( Both ) Let's duel !

I'm lookin' forward to this !

My turn, I draw !

To start things off,

I'm calling forth Heroic Challenger Double Lance !

( Mr. Heartland ) Whoa !

Looks like things are already getting a little rocky !

'Cause in this field, duelists take points

of damage every time they attack

or summon a monster in attack mode !

After driving into all those traps,

can you even spare life points ?

Does it look like it ?

I've only got a life points left to my name !

I activate Double Lance's ability !

When I summon an Xyz Monster,

Heroic Challenger Double Lance counts as two monsters !

So now I overlay my two Level Double Lances !

With that, I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Heroic Champion Gandiva !

He does not seem to be concerned about the field spell damage.

I place two cards facedown and end my turn.

All right, Yuma, you're up !

Give me everything you've got !

'Cause this time, I'm ready and I'm gonna take you down !

( Nistro ) Come on, Yuma !

Give me everything you've got !

( Yuma ) Considering how low my life points are,

I really don't have much to give...

( Astral ) Yuma...

You cannot waver.

He is clearly feeling energized.

You should become energized as well.

Tell me somethin' I don't already know.

It's my turn.

I draw !

I got a little trap action for ya' !

Uh- !

Uh oh !

This is crazy...

I can't believe I'm about to do this...

But Yuma's dueling has really fired me up...

He's the reason I'm in this tournament in the first place.

I don't want this one handed to me, I wanna earn it.

I've been looking forward to this duel for a long time !

I play the trap Heroic Gift !

When you've got less than , life points,

this trap brings you back to , life points !

Wait, you're giving me life points ?

In exchange, I get to draw two more cards from my deck !

You're giving me pity-points ?

Don't think of it like that...

I'm not exactly the type to have pity on someone.

I just wanna know that when I win,

it's not cause I had an advantage...

( Astral ) If Nistro was willing to so dramatically

boost Yuma's life points,

he must be feeling confident about this duel.

I play a monster facedown in defense mode, Nistro !

Yuma, you will not win this duel through defense alone.

Next, I place one card facedown and with that, I end my turn !

Ha !

I was hoping for a lil' more than that.

You need a push.

I draw !

And now I summon Heroic Challenger, Night Watchman !

Hey Nistro !

How'd those points of damage taste ?

( Nistro ) Very funny !

But that was nothin' !

At least not compared to what Night Watchman's about to do !

When Night Watchman att*cks your facedown monster,

it automatically destroys it !

And now your field is wide open, Yuma !

Which means Gandiva can attack you directly !

I was hoping you would do that.

Say what ?

'Cause when Mogmole is destroyed,

it can dig down and then resurface in defense mode !

I bet right now you're wishing you hadn't

given up those life points, huh ?

You'd think so, but you couldn't be more wrong, Yuma !

'Cause now I can I activate Gandiva's special ability !

By using one Overlay Unit,

Gandiva can destroy your Mogmole !

This isn't good !

You can't just hide in defense mode, Yuma...

Unless of course you're a coward !

All right Gandiva, attack Yuma directly !

We'll see about that, Nistro !

I play the trap Battle Break !

It destroys your Heroic Champion Gandiva and ends the battle...

You think moves like that can save ya ?

Think again, kid !

My Battler's Pride trap destroys your Battle Break,

so Gandiva is still alive !

Now Gandiva !

Fire !

I place one card facedown and end my turn.

Don't you get it ?

You gotta duel like I know you can if you wanna beat me !

Thing is...

I know he's right, but I can't afford to make a mistake.

If that thought is what drives you...

You should give up now.

What ?

Right now, your dueling is hesitant

and a hesitant duelist cannot truly duel.

I suppose it is natural that you are feeling this way...

After witnessing the intensity of the last several duels,

it is logical that you would develop

a cautionary approach toward your dueling...

Hold up !

It sounds like you're saying I'm scared !

Well I'm-- I'm not.

I draw !

Are you certain ?

I summon...

I summon Gagaga Magician !

( Nistro ) Watch your head Yuma !

Now I'm gonna activate the spell card One-Shot Wand !

This card grants my Magician an additional attack points !

Which means it can take Gandiva down !

Go, Gagaga Magician !

Attack Gandiva !

You're gonna have to try harder than that, Yuma !

I activate my trap Heroic Advance !

It not only doubles Night Watchman's attack points,

but Gagaga Magician now has to attack

it instead of Gandiva !

Though neither monster will be destroyed,

you'll still take damage !

Man !

All right, I activate One-Shot Wand's effect !

I can destroy this card...

And in exchange, I can draw a new one from my deck !

Sweet !

Get ready for Grandram !

When you've got an Xyz Monster on your field,

I can summon this big bruiser in attack mode !

Sure, I'll lose another life points...

But now I can overlay Grandram and Gagaga Magician.

I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Gagaga Cowboy !

In defense mode ?

Are you kidding me ?

( Yuma) Nope !

Cause when Gagaga Cowboy is in defense mode,

it not only protects me from taking damage

when you attack, but it can use one Overlay Unit

to blast you with points of damage !

How do you like that ?

You're goin' down, Nistro !

I place two cards facedown and end my turn !

I can't believe this...

Are you gonna hide behind your cards the whole time ?

It's totally pathetic !

I wanted to duel Yuma, not some coward !

Guess I need to force you to step it up !

By equipping Xyz Crown on my Gandiva,

I'm allowed to use it to Xyz Summon !

And not only that, Gandiva counts as two monsters !

You meanm you're gonna use an Xyz monster to Xyz Summon !

I overlay two Heroic Champion Gandivas

with my Level Night Watchman !

I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Heroic Champion Kusanagi !

( Yuma ) How am I supposed to beat this ?

Come on !

If you wanna defeat me, then let the real Yuma start dueling !

What do you mean the real Yuma ?

Stop playing it safe and duel me like there's no tomorrow !

Yuma... ?

( Nistro ) Isn't that what it's all about, Yuma ?

( Tori ) What's going on ?

Why did we stop ?

I need you to stay here, Tori...

Huh ?

You want me to--

Yeah, I mean it.

I've gotta risk everything if I'm gonna win this.

And I don't wanna put you in any kind of danger...

Yuma...

Just one thing.

Don't forget to come back and get me when you win.

I won't !

You can do it, Yuma !

( Yuma ) Hey, Nistro !

If it's a real duel you want, then

it's a real duel you'll get !

Now that's the Yuma I wanted to duel !

Let's do this !

First, I activate the spell card Fighter's Charm !

This forces your Cowboy into attack mode...

but its attack points stay the same

as its defense points for the rest of this turn.

But that won't stop Kusanagi from wiping

the floor with Gagaga Cowboy.

Kusanagi attack !

I activate the trap card Overlay Buster !

Thanks to this bad boy, my Gagaga Cowboy

gains attack points !

I got this one !

I don't think so, Yuma !

For the price of one Overlay Unit

Kusanagi stops your trap card and gains

attack points for the rest of this turn !

, ?

No way !

( Nistro ) Do it, Kusanagi !

Now his monster is more powerful !

Let's go, Kusanagi !

Destroy his Gagaga Cowboy !

Not gonna happen !

I activate the spell card Fighting Fund !

This card protects my monster from being destroyed !

Not bad !

But you're still takin' some damage.

( Yuma ) That was close !

I place two cards facedown and end my turn.

You got hundred life points left.

You're not doin' so good, are ya ?

I started with a hundred.

So the way I see it, I'm rockin' this thing !

That's the Yuma I know !

You showed up just in time to lose !

What's this ?

What the huh ?

We are on a new field...

It is now Sunset Showdown.

Each duelist can battle with one monster only...

and when that monster is destroyed,

its owner takes points of damage.

All right, Yuma.

You ready ?

I'm feelin' the flow !

I draw !

Gagaga Cowboy take out Nistro's Kusanagi !

Kusanagi's not scared of your Cowboy,

considering its packin' more attack points !

For now !

But my Cowboy can use one Overlay Unit to gain

attack points and rob Kusanagi of !

Heh !

Nicely done, kid.

Gagaga cowboy !

Attack !

I activate the trap Heroic Change !

But I use Kusanagi's special ability to stop this trap

so that Kusanagi can gain attack points !

Now that was awesome...

You're an amazing duelist.

Right back at ya'...

But it's time to go all-in...

I activate the trap Xyz Extreme !

Since an Xyz Monster was destroyed...

By paying life points, we both summon new Xyz Monsters,

and then they have to battle each other !

Hope you're ready cause I'm bringing out

the best my deck has to offer !

Are you serious ?

I summon Heroic Champion Excalibur !

Time to slice your life points down to nothing !

Whoa...

( Nistro ) I summoned Heroic Champion Excalibur !

But after our Xyz Monsters battle, they're both

automatically destroyed because of the trap Xyz Extreme !

So bring it, Yuma !

Make this the ultimate showdown !

Go ahead and summon Utopia !

Utopia ?

Anything less would be disappointing...

Let's make this a true clash of the titans.

You're on...

You are goin' down, Nistro !

Nice !

I summon Number Utopia !

Now come at me, Yuma !

You asked for it !

Utopia attack !

I activate Excalibur's special ability !

By using all its Overlay Units, its attack points double !

, attack points.

Utopia's got a special ability too, ya' know !

Light Wing Shield !

By using an Overlay Unit I can stop Excalibur's attack !

You can't touch me !

Perhaps !

But when the dust settles, both of our monsters

will be destroyed by my Xyz Battle trap !

And then Sunset Showdown deals you points of damage,

which means you're finished !

That would be the case, if I didn't have this card !

What ?

I am feeling the flow !

I activate the spell Double or Nothing !

This spell doubles Utopia's attack points

and lets it attack again.

What ?

It's got , attack points !

Go, Utopia !

Rising Sun Slash !

( Mr. Heartland ) It's over !

The duelist advancing to the semifinals is...

the one and only Yuma !

Anyone get the license plate of that rhino ?

Nistro...

Been a long time since a duel got me that amped up...

That was awesome.

Yeah !

Yuma, I want you to have this.

Huh ?

But in exchange, you gotta promise me that you'll give

every duel everything you've got.

This is...

Excalibur ?

But this is, like, your best card, and--

Just say, "thank you ."

Seriously, Nistro...

Thanks so much.

I'll do everything I can to make you proud.

Good.

I'm counting on you, kid !

Win this thing.

Come on, Yuma !

It's been forever !
