Hey, try and cheer up, leo.
It's not like everyone saw you lose.
Yeah, she's right! Million, tops.
[Deadpan] thanks.
It's not a loss if you learn something.
Now you know more than you did before, right, leo?
Huh? Huh?
Yeah, more about losing.
I just can't wait to use that
In my next match!
Excuse me.
So what's her problem?
Sir randsborg. Reporting as you requested, my liege!
[Chuckles]
I told you he'd be perfect for this duel.
The costume might be a bit melodramatic,
But he said he wouldn't duel without it.
Is it true that I am to duel
An opponent of thy female persuasion, your highness?
Chivalry forbids this!
Thy fairer species is too weak, milord!
What if I told you she was the black rose?
It is believed that her cards wield a power so real
That they have been known to come to life.
I see. A witch!
Are you afraid, sir randsborg?
You know if you don't fulfill your obligation,
Well, you might just find yourself dueling
At a renaissance fair!
My word is my bond.
So I will engage this black rose in battle!
[Chuckles]
Just don't go easy on her in the arena.
Push her to exhaustion.
We must see if she has the mark of the dragon.
Fear not!
Thy she-creature is no match for sir gil de randsborg!
On my sword...
I swear the black rose will taste defeat!

Welcome back! Our next duel is about to begin!
And now entering the arena, a knight in shining armor.
It's the one, the only gil de randsborg!
Good people of new domino!
Thou shall knowest my blade and my deck
From the att*cks thee shall witness!
Announcerwhile we wait for a shakespearean scholar to translate all that,
Let's get ready for his opponent!
This guy can't be serious!
Don't get me started on that big faker, grandpa.
I wore that same costume last halloween.
Announcernow entering the arena, his opponent,
With a record of...
Well, it appears we don't have any record for her!
But we can say she's, um,
Are you saying we have no information for her?
Um, well, domino city, let's here it
For miss akiza izinski!
I have the strangest feeling
Like we've seen her before!
You mean like in the hallway?
No! Before that!
Get with it, dexter!
Aah!
What is it, luna?
There's something with her deck.
It's like I can feel it in pain.
Sayer, thinkingshow them what you're made of.
Yusei, thinkingakiza, is it?
Gil, thinkingso this be thy opponent I am to battle.
You'll find no mercy here, sorceress!
But you will find defeat!
Togetherlet's duel!
Ready, fair maiden?
Behold!
I summoneth a level masked knight!
Thee shall suffer this, its ability most special!
Thou loseth points!
Forthwith I shall call upon mine spelllevel up!
Thee hast served nobly, but be banished to thy yard of graves,
For thou brother-in-arms now be summoned--
Masked knight, level the fifth!
And thus, like thy comrade in abilities most special,
Thou shall feel the sharp sting as forces align against thee!
Life points most foul be gone!
I shall yield with a facedown.
Thine turn.
Can our mystery duelist come back from this?
Does she have a chance?
Will I understand anything sir randsborg says in this duel?
It's all going according to our plan, sir.
Randsborg will push her to her limits,
And then we'll know for certain if she's a signer!
Fear not, maiden of the darkness.
Defeat is soon.
A silent tongue
Or hath a viper take hold of thee?
No. I'm getting tired of having to listen
To your bad accent!
She just played wall of ivy.
It's a great card
If you're looking for some defense.
And next I'll activate a spell card--
Seed of deception.
With this, I get the power to summon
Another level plant monster from my hand!
Or in some words that you can understand,
Thou are about to be royally played.
Now that copy plant's on my field,
It gets to power up
To the level of a monster on your field.
And I can't think of anyone more perfect
Than your level knight.
This fair maiden would like to thank you
For all your help.
I'm not sure I follow
What she's doing, tanner.
Leo and dextershe's gonna synchro summon!
I fear you not, milady!
You should,
Because I'm tuning copy plant with my wall of ivy!
It's time you stopped playing
With plastic swords and dice, randsborg!
Now I summon to the field
Black rose dragon!
What's with all the wind?
[Crowd moaning]
[Growling]
'Tis true!
Thou beest thy black rose!
Stay back!
Black rose.
It is! Look!
Only black rose can summon black rose dragon!
[Chuckles]
Well, she didn't waste any time, did she?
[Groans]
Your arm! You also have a mark.
Stay away from me!
I've seen that dragon before.
Then congratulations.
Most who come face to face with it never duel again.
It has been said that the black rose dragon's wrath
Can cause true destruction.
That's so cool.
This is the best fortune cup ever!
My friends are gonna be so jealous I'm here!
Fear not!
Thine knight shall do battle with the great beast!
And thy dark maiden shall be made to pay for this!
Gil, thinkingand lest mine eyes deceive me,
She knows not of my facedown sakuretu armor
Waiting to strike!
Your eyes do vex.
I'll take that as a compliment.
But in case it wasn't, I should let you know something.
Black rose dragon takes out all of your cards, randsborg.
Curses!
Go, black rose gale!
I don't believe it!
An incredible tornado has struck inside the arena!
So thou can command the wind!
Among other things.
Now watch
As I play my field spell,
Black garden!
What evil is this?
It's your move, randsborg.
The black rose does have magic powers!
Mine turn!
[Growls]
I shall activateth mine spell:
The warrior returneth alive.
It hath the power to returneth
My monsters from beyond the dark veil of the grave!
Masked knight level the third,
Rejoin thy battle!
You shall fight again!
Ah! What be this?
This be the power of my black garden.
As long as we're inside this greenhouse,
Your monster's attack points are cut in half
And a rose token blossoms on my field.
I'm sure a knight like you can handle a few thorns.
Watch her beauty bloom.
And be sure that you take in
The sweet smell of my success.
Heh heh.
Announcerwith masked knight's attack points sliced in half,
Sir randsborg can't get close to the black rose.
Gil, thinkingmine points attacketh matter not!
Thine monsters shall still fall
To thy knight's ability most special.
Vengeance is mine!
You yield?
Not with my doppelganger trap card in play.
Computerwith the trap card doppelganger,
When you take damage from the special ability of your opponent's monster,
Your opponent takes the same amount of damage.
Take that, you big tin can!
Oh, no!
It looks like sir randsborg took his first hit,
And it is a major one.
His face!
She gave him a scar!
I guess her powers are real!
Eh, let's go home.
If she can do that to him,
What'll she do to us?
'Tis but a mere scratch.
Her powers scare not this brave warrior.
But 'ere witch shall pay!
Be careful who you call a witch.
A threat?
You shall pay dearly for that!
I casteth two cards facedown.
Thine turn.
I know.
And for starters, I'll play my spell mark of the rose,
Which lets me select one of the monsters
On your side of the field and take control of it.
Masked knight, what do you think about joining me?
Ha ha ha.
Oh, my!
He appears to be quite smitten with her.
It looks as though your monster
Has sworn his allegiance to me.
I think it's time to let sir randsborg feel
The sting of your betrayal.
Aah!
Thou bewitched the heart of my noble knight!
Thou shall suffer for such insolence!
Not before this.
I equip the spell vengeful servant
On my new masked knight!
So now when he goes back to your control
At the end of my turn,
You lose even more life points--
One for each of his attack points!
You dare not!
Oh, no, I do dare!
Looks like it's the end of my turn!
Masked knight, why don't you go on home?
And unleash the true power of my vengeful servant?
Now strike down his life points.
[Gil screaming]
This rose has thorns!
In just one round, she's pulled up the roots of randsborg's lead
Like it was a weed infestation!
Thine girl shall suffer my wrath
With this, mine trap card--thy level change!
Thine turn hath not finished as of yet, black rose!
Mine traitorous masked knight, level the third,
Shall be sacrificed to the yard of graves
So that a far nobler warrior may take thine place--
My masked knight, level the fifth!
Returneth to thy battle, my brave warrior!
Announcersir randsborg's cracked the black rose's combo!
This is anyone's duel now!
It appears you forgot about black garden.
For every monster you summon,
Its attack points are cut in half.
[Knight groaning]
And not only that, but I'll be getting another rose token.
Now I end my turn.
Sorceress, you dare enchant mine monsters with thine spells?
Thy garden be no eden but shall fall the same!
Now, mine knight, you hath earned promotion
For brave service against thy most wicked opponent.
He's right!
Thanks to masked knight's special ability,
He upgrades from level all the way to level .
Now, join mine side! Hyah!
Black garden, do your thing.
Once again, another rose token shall bloom.
Impressive.
Those rose tokens of hers can't be destroyed in battle.
She's got an impenetrable wall.
The question is, can she hold out?
Not even a pretty garden can stop randsborg forever.
I'm afraid it's only a matter of time
Before that black rose gets clipped.
Foul she-creature,
Thou hath draped thy arena in dark foliage.
Ye hath seduced mine knights,
But now, thy dark deck shall fall before mine might!
Behold my glory shield!
With it, my masked knight be impervious
To any of thy bewitching spells.
Nice move.
And now when randsborg decides to bring in the big blades
And attack with masked knight,
Black rose can't use her spell cards or traps.
And if it does damage,
It destroys a card.
Maybe black rose
Just isn't so powerful after all.
Masked knight, unleash thine powers
On thy darkest of monsters, the tokens of rose!
Cry havoc and strike down
Thine maiden's life points!
Announcerand randsborg brings the hammer down--
Or should I say sword--
As akiza takes a big hit!
Black rose is starting to wilt!
A few more att*cks like that,
And she'll be checking the want ads!
Does anyone need a gardener?
And now mine glory shield effect destroyeth thine doppelganger!
With thy cursed spell lost to thee,
Masked knight,
Unleash thine effect most special.
[Chuckles]
Announceronly life points left?
This duel is all but over!
It's a fourth encore!
It's a party with no music!
It's the closing credits.
I end mine turn...
So do you think it's over?
Not a chance. She's just getting warmed up.
And why do you think that? You know her?
Some ancient mystical bond?
Thine turn.
And any last words, fair maiden,
For you shall not see another! Ha!
Yeah.
I got some last words-- this duel's over!
Liar!
Gil, thinkingyou hath lost already, my dear.
I seeth thine cards as if they be mine.
You shall release your tokens of rose,
Hoping against hope to summon a creature.
And that shall be thy undoing.
For once summoned, thy black garden
Will afford me a token of rose.
You shall attack.
And you shall fail, for you hath no idea
What dwells beneath mine card most facedown.
Like all duelists who battled before me,
You hath no mind for strategy.
Waiting for you is my martyr flag--
A spell most simple, true,
But it shall double thy attack points
Of my masked knight.
You shall taste the agony of defeat
And learn not to tread here in mine arena!
So what to do?
I think I'll destroy my black garden!
What's this, a trick of some sort?
Trick? No. Strategy? Yes.
See, you've got to learn to look
Beyond the beauty of my roses.
By destroying my black garden and my rose tokens,
I get to summon a new monster:
One that's in my graveyard.
You would not!
Oh, boy.
Yanagi, leo, and dexterit can't be.
Now if my math is correct--and it always is--
Then akiza has sacrificed enough attack points
To summon the black rose dragon!
That thing is dangerous!
Now say hello to my black rose dragon!
Computerblack rose dragon is
A level fire attribute synchro monster
That has , attack points
And , defense points.
Announcerakiza did it!
But is it too late?
With black garden gone, masked knight's attack points
Go back to their maximum!
And if you know anything about fairy tales
When it comes to knights versus dragons,
It never ends well for the dragon!
With nothing else on her field,
Black rose can't win this.
Too bad, too. I thought she had it.
Ye truly are a fool, milady.
Perhaps ye should lay thy cards down
And go tend to thine garden.
Green thumb you hath not
When it comes to dueling.
I sure hate to admit it,
But it looks like this duel's over.
Yeah. But it won't play out like you think.
Say what?
Due to my black rose dragon's special ability,
If I remove a plant-type monster in my graveyard
From play,
Your masked knight's attack points go to zero.
Go, black binding bloom!
But thouest cannot do that to me!
It be not fair.
I spent all year making this costume for this special tournament!
I'm not supposed to lose!
Well, too bad.
And next time you want to play dress-up,
You should realize
It's not what you wear on the outside
That makes you who you are,
But what's on the inside.
I want to go home! Take it easy now!
I am taking it easy!
Black rose dragon, attack!
[Gil yelling]
[Crowd screams]
[Chuckles]
I think randsborg worked well.
Now to check in with zigzix!
So tell us, what did your d-tector see?
Well, um,
There was no signer energy.
We got nothing.
Then keep looking.
I knew she'd win that duel.
What do you mean? Like you two are connected?
Yuseii don't know.
But there's something between us.
[Moaning]
Manher monsters are real!
Girlboo! Get her out of here!
[Scattered boos]
Not a bad win, akiza.
But I got a bad feeling that your real fight is
Just about to get started. Good luck.
