Part 2: 01x20 - An Imperfect Couple: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

(Yuma) Last time on "Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL"...

(Anna) Hey, Yuma!

I just enrolled as a student here,

and now that I'm officially part of the school,

I can enter the Couples Duel with you.

You and me?

Don't disappoint me, Yuma, or else!

Put down the blaster, Anna!

Okay, we're a team!

Who shut off the lights?

(Vector laughing maniacally)

I have seen you and your husband duel together.

You make an impressive team.

I will harness your powers to strike down my foes!

(announcer) What a shocker!

The winner of the World Duel Carnival,

our school's own Yuma Tsukumo,

is making a surprise challenge with a mystery partner!

Is it true?

I heard you were going to give up dueling

forever, Brook!

You told me that if I ever b*at you in a duel,

you'd do anything I asked.

Well, I'm gonna hold you to it,

so when I b*at you, you can't quit dueling!

(all) Now let's duel!

I Xyz summon Skypalace Gangaridai!

Take out Gustav Max!

Fire your Torrid Torpedo!

(screaming)

Anna!

Gangaridai, strike Yuma directly!

I hope you like the taste of defeat, kid!

Yuma still has most of his life points left.

But unfortunately, Gangaridai

has more att*ck points and can finish him off!

Man, if I only had a monster on my field.

Then I could use my trap Half Unbreak

and survive this att*ck.

There is a way to save yourself.

Think, Yuma.

Cannons, fire!

Yuma!

Wait a minute!

I can use it!

I play Half Unbreak!

This card stops the destruction of one monster

and I only take half the damage I would have!

Hold on.

You don't have any monsters on your field!

Yeah, I know!

But I never said that I had to use Half Unbreak

on my monster, did I?

I'm using it on Gangaridai!

No way!

Really?

His opponent's monster?

Man, that was close.

But I was able to survive the att*ck.

I thought it was lights out for him.

(Mayday) Anna.

You sure are lucky to have joined up with such

a quick-thinking partner.

Not many duelists would have been smart enough

to come up with such an impressive maneuver.

Most players would've only used Half Unbreak

on their own monster.

But since he had none,

Yuma realized he should target our Gangaridai instead.

The kid played it like a true pro.

(chuckling)

I'll end my turn now, Yuma.

It's your move.

And I'm not wasting any time!

Here goes!

I summon Dododo Warrior!

By lowering its att*ck points by ,

I can summon Dododo without tributing!

Next up, I'm activating Xyz Reception.

Since Mayday's the only one

with an Xyz Monster on the field,

I can summon one monster

that's the same Level as Dododo Warrior!

You're up, Chachaka Archer!

Chachaka!

Perfect!

Now that I've got Chachaka on my field,

everything is in place so that I can make my move

and take control of this duel!

I overlay Dododo Warrior and Chachaka Archer!

With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Gauntlet Launcher!

Wait, that move doesn't do me any good.

Next time we battle together, let me build your deck.

Oh, so you think you're better than me, huh?

I know I'm better than you!

Guess I'll have to prove you wrong.

For my next move, I'm activating Xyz Treasure!

That way I can draw one card

for every Xyz Monster on the field.

Since there are two Xyz Monsters on the field,

I get to draw two cards.

And then, I'll activate my

Gauntlet Launcher's special ability.

By using one Overlay Unit it destroys one monster!

Great!

Yuma set this up perfectly!

Gauntlet Launcher, start blasting away!

Take down Skypalace Gangaridai!

I'm activating the trap Xyz Coat!

And I'll use it to protect Skypalace!

Blocked!

But you can't stop me from staying on the att*ck!

Gauntlet Launcher, take out Mayday!

I don't think so.

I activate the trap Xyz Move!

It lets me give control of my Skypalace to Brook

and end the battle!

No matter what, they keep protecting each other!

The Walkers' extraordinary unity

will make them difficult to defeat.

I know.

I'll play a facedown and then end my turn--

(Anna) Oh, no you don't!

I'll play a facedown and end my turn--

(Anna) Oh, no you don't!

I'll take over and get this duel back on track!

I'm gonna activate Upgrade by tributing an Xyz Monster!

So say sayonara to your Gauntlet Launcher!

Why destroy my monster?!

Settle down.

By dumping your Launcher,

I get to summon an Xyz Monster from my graveyard!

Make way... 'cause

Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max is back in action!

But now it's packing even more power,

'cause Upgrade's giving it more att*ck points!

Not bad, huh?

Thanks to me, it's got even more

att*ck points than Gangaridai.

Don't feel like you have to shower me with compliments,

'cause there'll be plenty of time for that after

our duel is done.

That's awesome, but you ditched my monster

without asking me again!

You never would've beaten Gangaridai

with that feeble Launcher and you know it!

Yes, I could've!

I had a strategy!

Well, I have a strategy, too,

and I'm sure it's way superior to yours!

If you think you're so much better,

why did you team up with me?

I had to have a partner 'cause the rules say so!

I'm ending my turn.

You're up, Brook.

It's... my move!

(Vector) You will become my instrument of destruction!

I will harness your powers to strike down my foes!

It is time to unleash my true power!

I activate Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!

Barian's Force?

She is under the Barian's control.

This is bad.

Yuma, winning this duel is now of critical importance

to our mission.

I know!

Brook, where did you get that spell card from?

And why do you suddenly have that strange symbol

on your forehead?

(Brook) All will be clear once we win.

I now rank up my Skypalace into a Chaos Xyz Monster!

I overlay Level Skypalace Gangaridai!

With it, I rebuild the Overlay Network!

Go, Chaos Xyz Evolution!

Skypalace is built to inflict major damage.

Now the power of Barian will transform it

and make it even stronger!

Behold!

Chaos Xyz Skypalace Babylon!

Oh...

I've never seen Brook summon that before...

She bulked up her monster!

I activate its special ability!

By using one Chaos Overlay Unit,

Babylon can att*ck twice in one turn!

Go, Double Destruction!

This att*ck will be costly.

Anna is down to , life points.

I predict that Brook will first destroy Gustav Max

and then att*ck Anna directly to finish her off!

This is the end!

Now, Babylon, destroy Gustav Max!

Destiny Demolisher!

I activate a trap!

Reverse Glasses!

Now every monster on the field

has its att*ck points slashed in half

'til the end of this turn!

(groaning)

Yuma, why did you save me?

'Cause we're teammates,

and teammates should try to help each other.

Your effort to save Anna was wasted.

I activate Babylon's special ability!

When Babylon destroys your monster in battle,

you get hit with half of its att*ck points!

So you're losing life points, Anna!

Go, Secondary Disaster!

(yelling)

Anna!

You put up a good fight.

But I'm done taking it easy on you!

Babylon, power up!

And this time, Anna, it will att*ck you directly!

Babylon, power up!

att*ck Anna directly!

(Yuma) I don't think so!

I can summon Gentlemander to intercept your att*ck!

And once this drops in on my field,

you're forced to att*ck it!

As soon as tea time's over, that is!

Your foolhardy heroics

have managed to save your partner for the time being,

but it will cost you dearly!

Thanks to Babylon's special ability,

you'll take even more damage!

Secondary Disaster!

I suppose that's enough damage for one turn.

The effects of Yuma's Reverse Glasses trap now wears off.

It's my move, I draw!

Ha!

I summon Ruffian Railcar!

(horn honking)

Railcar, att*ck Mayday directly!

(horn honking)

I'll derail your att*ck by activating Xyz Move!

This card instantly transfers control of Babylon to Mayday!

It also brings this battle to a full stop!

Brook protects her partner

even when she is under Barian control.

Their bond must be truly powerful!

Railcar can still use its special ability though,

and that means you're getting hit with

points of damage!

Train Rain!

You never give up.

However, you're so completely focused on yourself,

you've forgotten that you're part of a team.

Look beside you.

You have a partner, remember?

And unfortunately for you,

you're just about to lose him!

Yuma gave up most of his life points to save you

and now he's defenseless!

But his troubles will soon end.

When the next turn unfolds,

Mayday and I will use our combined strength

to eliminate Yuma

and then our fury will turn against you

and you will be annihilated!

Brook, what are you talking about?

This duel is just for fun.

Stay out of this, darling!

(gasping)

(Anna) She's right.

I gotta help Yuma...

I'm placing one card facedown and ending my turn!

I'm up now.

Here I go!

Mayday!

Draw on the power of our love to finish Yuma!

Yes, dear...

I use one Chaos Overlay Unit

so that Skypalace Babylon can att*ck twice!

Double Destruction!

Now att*ck Yuma and finish him off for good!

Right now you think that spell is worthless,

but I promise you

one day you'll see that it's incredibly valuable!

All right, I activate the spell card Devoted Love!

Huh? Huh?

Love? Love?

(Anna) I give up all my life points at the end of this turn.

In exchange,

it not only stops Babylon's att*ck,

but Yuma gets to draw a card!

You're giving up all your life points... to save me?

Yes, Yuma.

I'm sure you can out-duel those Walkers!

(gasping)

Let us win this. Right!

I'm gonna high-five the sky!

If anybody can outduel the Walkers,

I know that it's you, Yuma.

Then take your turn, Yuma,

and prove your partner right.

Anna!

I know you'll prove that I made the right choice!

Thanks, Anna.

Excuse me...

But is the card you just drew a Barian card?

Why do you have one of those in your deck, Yuma?

Well, it's because I...

found it after I b*at Girag!

He must've dropped it right after I defeated him!

But why would you ever use such a card in a duel?

I'll explain why later, after we win!

My move!

I summon Gagaga Magician!

Next, I'll overlay Gagaga Magician and Railcar!

With these two monsters,

I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Number : Utopia!

(Yuma) Utopia's my go-to monster,

but even it isn't powerful enough to take down Babylon

without some help.

Should I risk it?

No!

Yuma, you must not use that card!

I'm sorry...

But if I lose this duel, we could lose everything!

♪♪

Yuma, using a Barian card is too dangerous!

I'm activating Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force!

This card ranks up Utopia into a Chaos Xyz Monster!

I rebuild the Overlay Network with Utopia!

Go, Chaos Xyz Evolution!

Come on out, Chaos Number :

Utopia Ray V!

♪♪

Yuma has done it.

I hope he does not come to regret this choice.

You just went to a whole lot of trouble,

but you accomplished nothing at all!

Your Utopia Ray V

is still too weak to defeat my Babylon!

Oh?

Don't be so sure, Brook.

This monster's stronger than you think!

Utopia Ray V can use a Chaos Overlay Unit

to destroy one monster!

Oh, and I forgot to mention...

you take damage equal to

your destroyed monster's att*ck points!

Utopia Ray V, take out Skypalace Babylon!

Spinning Blades of Destruction!

(yelling)

All right!

Now, att*ck Brook directly!

Rising Sun Star Slash!

(yelling)

Brook!

(beeping)

Ha!

We did it!

Way to go, Yuma! Way to go, Yuma!

♪♪

(chuckling)

Hey, are you okay, Brook?

Yes, dear.

Thanks for being there to catch me.

You had me worried.

During our duel, you were acting

like a different person.

Was I really?

The last thing I remember is drawing a card from my deck,

but after that...

everything else is a complete blank.

Nice work!

Gee, thanks, Anna!

(Anna) So you're not gonna give up dueling?

Not a chance!

I love dueling far too much to ever think of quitting!

I was wrong.

Yes and no.

I'm not quitting, just taking a little break.

You're not sick, are you?

I'm fine.

I'm just taking a break from the Pro Circuit

to focus more on what I love, teaching.

I'm sorry, Brook.

I was angry at you all this time for nothing.

I would have explained,

but when the duel started, there really wasn't time.

You know, once I finally do return to dueling,

the four of us should have a friendly rematch.

That'd be great!

Well then, you better go tell that boyfriend of yours!

(yelling)

♪♪

(snoring)

(Astral) That Barian card saved us today.

Its power enabled Yuma to evolve Utopia into Utopia Ray V.

It is possible that card will be a valuable asset,

especially as we continue battling

the forces of Barian World.

And yet, I cannot escape the feeling that playing

the Barian card was a mistake...
