Ranze and Rinnosuke went on vacation?
Yes, their family all went to the hot springs together.
Is that why they didn't come to camp?
Mhm. I was so worried something happened to them!
This isn't...
A normal hot spring...
It's here! It's here, it's here!
Don't be so loud in the morning.
It's our Rush Duel Tournament entry card!
Huh?
Alright!
Let's go straight for the win, Team Luke!
Yeah!
H-Hang on, this entry card is...
Hm?
It's wrong.
It's not for a Rush Duel Tournament...
Trumpet
Duet
Competition?
HUH?!?!?
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Ultimate Rush!
Here we go, it's my turn! And then it's yours!
Even if I'm interrupted,
I'll cut on through, give it to me!
Who is this turn for? Of course it's for us!
We'll say a lot of things but in the end, it's the best duel!
That's why this dashing rush won't stop
Super fast every day
Because rigid theories are boring
An irregular and unprecedented game
In short, watch out! Don't be so rigid
You, too, watch out! Don't be tied down
That's why - Draw! Draw! Draw! Come on!
Just have some fun!
"It's my road!"
Yeahhhhhhh!!! It's far from enough
I'll create an era with new rules!!
We can't let it end like this
So laugh, cry, take a counterattack, and do a one-sh*t reversal, baby!
Run run run run run run run run
Rush! GO! Rush! (Rush Duel!)
Run run run run run run run run
Rush! GO! Rush! (Rush Duel!)
Let's keep moving!!! On our road
Even if we fall seven times, we'll get up seven more
I'll break through my road!
Nanananananana... Rush! GO! Rush!
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Nanananananana... Rush! GO! Rush!
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
The Tiger's Way of Battle
What even is a "trumpet duet" anyway?!
And on top of that, a competition?!
Now, now.
A trumpet duet competition is where two people enter as a pair
and compete while playing wind instruments.
U-Uh-huh...
I had to analyze something worthless again...
That's not it!
We were talking about what to do when we've been entered into a competition we know nothing about!
Ah, well, even I don't really...
DON'T PANIC!!
Luke-kun...?
Just panicking over it won't solve anything.
You're right about that...
Let's all calm down and listen to Luke-san's thoughts.
Okay, now explain to me.
What's going on?
Hah?
What's the thing that's causing us the biggest problem right now?
U-Um...
You!!
Wh-What...?
So you're saying we're participating in a Trumpet Duet and not a Rush Duel Tournament?!
Is that it?
I've never met anyone who's as slow to understand as him.
So there never was a Rush Duel Tournament in the first place.
It was all a misunderstanding President Nitwit had.
Excuse me?!
Double Talk: I said what I said!
Double Talk: Take it back!
Double Talk: No!
Come on, guys...
This Trumpet Duet Competition sounds interesting.
It'd be a waste to withdraw after we've already entered.
That reminds me...
I've already submitted a notice of entry to the school.
It wouldn't be good for the club to have a tournament withdrawal on their record.
Hang on a minute.
Is there anyone here who has any experience with playing wind instruments?
Romin's in a band, right?
I play the guitar.
Then our next stop...
Asking the Wind Music Club for help is a good idea.
Our th Elementary's Wind Music Club has won quite a few competitions before, and...
Luke, what's wrong?
W-We should... turn back.
It's not too late...
We already came all this way.
That's right, and we're only in this situation because of you.
What is this feeling of dread swelling in my chest...
What are you so scared of?
That's weird...
Hm?
I don't hear any sound coming from inside.
Now that you mention it...
Y-Yuuga!
Is this really the Wind Music Club?
Let's head in.
Wh-What are those?!
Drones?!
No...
Training dummies from Kung Fu movies?!
Listen here, you lower class drones! Stop at once—
They got Sebastian!
And also Kaizo...!
Wh-What now?!
This is bad!
We were wrong to come here after all!
I-It's...
O-Over for us!
She's here!
Why did you come here,
stupid little brother?
L-Little brother?!
B-B-B-B-Big...
Big sis...
I've told you to call me Tiger!!
President!
Welcome back!
Indeed.
So, instead of entering a Rush Duel Tournament...
You were entered into a Trumpet Duet Competition, hm?
It seems like my little stupid bro-gears has caused you some trouble.
"Little stupid bro-gears"?!
Don't call Yuuga names!
She means you!
Trumpet duet...
Do you understand exactly what this competition is?
Mm, the basic gist.
I see.
I don't mind helping.
However...
We can talk after you've defeated me!
Wahoo!
Choose whichever one you like.
Huh?
What are these?!
Why does the Wind Music Club have a bunch of martial arts weapons?!
This is my way of battle.
I choose this.
A duel?
Yeah. How about the Rush Duels I've created?
To fight each other with decks we've put our souls into like fists...
Duels are also a martial art.
I would never object.
D-Don't do it, Yuuga! Even you can't win!
L-Luke-kun?
My older sister is someone who's mastered all forms of battle in this world!
Dueling is no exception!
Speaking of, you know a long time ago, some foolish Gamma Ray Burst challenged me to a duel,
but got b*at up instead.
"Foolish Gamma Ray Burst"?!
Don't you dare call Yuuga names like that!
I'm talking about you!!
A duelist like her who's beaten even Luke-kun...!
She has to be really strong.
I'll still do it!
There's no other choice!
Let's go!
Come at me.
RUSH DUEL: Rush Duel!!
My turn, draw!
I summon two Punching Instrumaiden - Sax Knuckles!
Then I sacrifice them both
to tribute summon twice!
as*ault Instrumaiden - Trumpetonfa!
Trumpetonfa's effect activates!
By sending the top card of my deck to the grave,
one monster on my field gains ATK per Sax Knuckle in my graveyard.
She has two Sax Knuckles in her graveyard...
So they'll go up by .
Wait, she can't att*ck on the first turn anyway, so isn't it pointless to increase her ATK?
She just wants to show off.
No, that's not it!
Tiger's aim is...
In search of strength, I have drifted through the desert of life, fighting many battles...
All the while with this increasingly greedy energy swelling within me.
And then I arrived at the transcendent, ultimate truth!
And that is...
Breath!
Breath?
I activate the spell card, Instrumaiden's Breath.
I can special summon one Warrior-type from my grave!
Come out, Trumpetonfa!
Three level monsters in one turn!
That was why!
She wasn't after the ATK increase!
She was trying to mill her deck to fish for monsters!
Now I activate the last Trumpetonfa's effect!
Three level monsters on her field...
And three monsters in her grave to increase their ATK.
What an efficient strategy!
At any moment...
The key to blasting through this arduous state of battle...
Is in the heated strength
of the lungs!
In other words!
Mastering wind instruments is the final answer to every battle that will lead me to victory!
Th-That's Luke-kun's sister for you...
I can't understand a word she's saying.
Translate, chair.
She means that while she was pursuing martial arts, she realized breathing was important,
and that's why she came to the Wind Music Club.
I end my turn.
My turn, draw!
What are you going to do, Yuuga-kun?
I summon Whispering Fairy and Sparkhearts Girl.
I send a card from my hand to the grave to activate Whispering Fairy's effect.
Return both Sax Knuckles in your grave to your deck!
Good job, Yuuga-kun!
With Sax Knuckles gone, Trumpetonfa can't gain any ATK from it!
Then I send a monster from my hand to the grave to activate Sparkhearts Girl's effect.
Trumpetonfa's ATK goes down by until the end of this turn!
Then I can set Curtain of Sparks from my grave.
I sacrifice two monsters to tribute summon!
Yuuga: No matter if walls,
Yuuga: mountains,
Yuuga: or planets block my way!
Yuuga: I'll carve a road through it all and press onward!
Yuuga: Let's go!
Yuuga: Sevens Road Magician!
I send the top card of my deck to the grave to activate Sevens Road Magician's effect!
Yuuga: Elemental Road!
It gains ATK for every different attribute in his grave!
And he has three!
It goes up by ATK.
Using the power of your friends in the grave to strengthen your fists...
It looks like we'll really get along.
att*ck Trumpetonfa, Sevens Road Magician!
Yuuga: Sevens Magic!
I end my turn.
My turn, draw!
I summon Sax Knuckles!
I sacrifice two monsters to tribute summon!
Chuu Luke: Now, as all times,
Chuu Luke: my oxygen and hemoglobin are in top form!
Chuu Luke: Even if you tell me to stop, it's way too late!
Chuu Luke: I'll only say it once!
Chuu Luke: Feel it with your spirit—
Chuu Luke: My breath!
Chuu Luke: Ensemble Fighter the Heavy Music Oni!
That's—
Tiger's ace monster!
I then summon one monster and sacrifice it!
Come out, Twirling Instrumaiden - Nunchucklarinet!
I send the top card of my deck to the grave to activate Nunchucklarinet's effect!
If the card sent to the grave is a WIND attribute Warrior,
then Sevens Road Magician's att*ck goes down by for every monster on my field!
What?! ATK for every monster?!
Then all of Sevens Road's ATK is gonna...!
The match will be decided here!
A spell card, huh?
Safe!
Haaah...
I'm not done yet!
Trumpetonfa's effect!
By sending the top card of my deck to the grave, Ensemble Fighter's ATK goes up!
Ahhh!!
There are three Sax Knuckles in Tiger-kun's grave!
Times means Ensemble Fighter's ATK will become !
But Yuuga set Curtain of Sparks earlier.
It can decrease its ATK by !
No, Tiger knows.
She's attacking knowing full well I have a trap!
We have alike breaths after all.
I send one card from my hand to the grave for Ensemble Fighter's effect!
When my monsters att*ck, you cannot activate trap cards!
Chuu Luke: Breath Pressure!
Curtain of Sparks—
has been sealed!
Ensemble Fighter, put that Sevens Road to sleep!
Chuu Luke: Instrumental Strike of Exterminating Supremacy!
Trumpetonfa!
One more!
If Nunchucklarinet's effect had gone off, you'd have been finished.
Well whatever, I end my turn.
What an intense att*ck...!
Dueling.
The Road on which you fight.
What is it you wish to see at its conclusion?
My Road's... conclusion?
Those words...
She's said it to me before, too.
I couldn't b*at my big sis in anything at all...
But I thought in a duel I might have had a chance, so I challenged her.
But...
Luke, what is it you wish to see at the conclusion of these fights?
The fight's... conclusion?
From the time I created Rush Duels to now...
My feelings haven't changed.
So you have already found that which lies beyond the fighting?
Yeah! Of course!
Th-That's right!
That which lies beyond the fighting...
That is... it's...
To become the King of Duels!
Smiles!
Huh?
S-Smiles!
My turn, draw!
I summon Beast Summoner!
I send a card to the grave to activate its effect!
I special summon from my hand!
Yuuga: With a graceful flap of its wings, it crushes steel!
Yuuga: Galloping across the heavens!
Yuuga: Seis the Mighty King of Bestial Wings!
That's—
Yuuga's new monster!
But even though it's level , it only has ATK.
It can't b*at Ensemble Fighter!
I set two cards!
You know you can't use traps against me.
So you must be planning something else.
When the number of monsters you control and the number of spells/traps I control are the same,
I can use its effect!
I send all three of my spells/traps to the grave
to activate Seis the Mighty King of Bestial Wings' effect!
Yuuga: Dance of the Beastly Wings!
Ensemble Fighter's ATK goes down by for every spell/trap I sent to the grave!
A total of ATK down!
Now Ensemble Fighter's ATK is zero!
Now I activate the spell, Sparks!
It deals damage to you!
So you still had a spell card left in your hand.
Finish this, Seis the Mighty King of Bestial Wings!
Yuuga: The Strong King's Wave of Imperial Wrath!
Actually...
Huh?
After my stupid brother lost to me in a duel...
Hm?
Aah!!
I was a little worried.
But that day...
When I watched your Rush Duel against him at school...
He looked as if he was really having fun.
I hadn't seen Luke like that in a long time.
So smiles lie beyond the fighting, huh?
If it's you, I think you'll definitely be able to do it.
You b*at my big sis!!
Amazing, you're so amazing, Yuuga!
See sis, this is Yuuga's power!
And because I'm stronger than Yuuga, that means I've also b*at—
I've told you to call me Tiger!!
As promised...
I'll instruct you in the ways of wind instruments.
Keep going, no one's getting a break!
Breathe in!
Out!
Now in, in!
Out, out!
In, in!
Out, out!
In!
Out!
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe!!

You trade the spell and trap cards on your field in order to bring down the ATK of your opponent's monster.
Use the cards you have left over to defeat stronger enemies!
The more monsters your opponent has, the bigger the impact of its ATK down effect!
True to its name, you soften it with strength!
(TL Note: this is a pun on 柔よく剛を制す which is pronounced the same way)

There will be a one week break. Next episode will be on January th.
Rebelli-Ant is Mine!
What does "softening with strength" even mean?
