02x21 - The Gift of Grit

[bunniefuu]

In the third match of the Friendship Cup,

As Yuzu dueled Tokumatsu...

She tried her hardest to speak to my heart.

The fun has just begun!

Battle!

I attack Ameshiko with Mozarta!

Go! Burning!

Hot-Blooded!

How was that?

Gave you the shivers, right?

And it was obviously a message to me.

Yuya, you're watching, right?

You're not alone!

That clinches it!

A heart-pounding Duel that made your hands sweat...

...has just now been decided!

Your winner is Yuzu!

Yuya...

I did it!

I gave it my all!

The D-Wheel.

By using the new Duel Disk technology brought about by these machines,

Riding Duels became the greatest show of speed and thrill,

as well as the symbol of freedom!

Filled with excitement, a thrilling Summon!

The cards are calling out to me.

The thrilling back and forths, the effects activating!

Look, the fun has just begun!

Charge the b*mb!

The energy is full let's start, GO!

Yes! And now to the melody of battle ringing...

Let loose your monsters! All of your passion kept within your heart!

Don't run away! Believe in these bonds!

Let loose your monsters! No matter what happens tomorrow lies right before you.

Go on let loose a huge storm! Let it fly!

Toward speed!

After Yuzu, Selena takes to the field!!

After Yuzu, Selena takes to the field!!

Meanwhile, what drove young Jack to be this resolved...!?

Meanwhile, what drove young Jack to be this resolved...!?

An Unreaching Scream

Yuzu definitely was thinking that I was beating myself up after losing to Jack...

Not just Yuzu...!

Tokumatsu too...

Even though he knew that if he lost, he'd be sent to the underground labor facility!

He yelled out that to me...

Thank you, Yuzu,

Tokumatsu!

Your feelings reached me!

Thanks to Yuzu and Enjoy Choijiro's amazing Duel, all , members of the audience are as one again!

This is truly the Friendship Cup!

You can do it if you try!

Now let's keep this mood up and get the next Duel started!

All right, bring it on!

After Yuzu, I've got to be up next!

The competitors who will be in the final match for today are Selena vs Tony!

Selena!

Selena!

After Yuzu we have the female Duelist, Selena!

And a resident of the Commons, Tony Simmons!

I'm looking forward to this matchup!

It's not me again?!

So I'm not up today, then?

If I had known it wasn't my turn, I would've stayed in this fluffy bed...

I got all excited for nothing...

All right, I'm counting on you, Tony!

Guide the Commons to action!

Are you upset that you aren't the one to fight this girl?

We're saving that for later.

If she is as good of a Duelist as I believe...

...she will have no problems winning her matches.

Most likely, all the way to the finals.

I'm sure she'll be quite popular too.

And then you will crush her.

Then, after that, Jack Atlas!

After those two have become popular for their abilities,

you will crush them and shock the entire City.

That is your role in this.

I'm counting on you, Sergei.

If Selena loses, she'll be sent underground.

I can't let that happen!

I won't accept this!

They go on calling this a Friendship Cup while they know people who lose are sent underground!

Cut this out, council!

You're listening aren't you!?

Stop this tournament right now!

Quit making a show out of us!

Tony and Selena's back and forth duel has this stadium on edge!

It's a heated game, fitting to be today's final match!

Go for it, Tony!

Right now, Tony is at LP, and Selena at !

Will she be able to make a comeback this turn!?

My turn!

I Summon Moonlight Purple Butterfly!

And I activate the Spell Card: Polymerization from my hand!

I fuse Moonlight Cat Dancer and Moonlight Purple Butterfly!

Beautiful beast that dances in the moonlight!

Butterfly with violet poison!

Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power!

Fusion Summon!

Come to me!

Supple beast that dances through moonlit fields!

Moonlight Panther Dancer!

There it is!

Selena has Fusion Summoned once again!

Yuzu did as well, but I wonder if these female Duelists of this new age all use Fusion?

And now that I look closely, their faces look the same...

Maybe they're siblings?

Oh? Siblings, you say?

I see...

I activate the Trap Card: Bottomless Trap Hole!

When my opponent Summons a monster with an of or more, the monster is destroyed and banished!

Useless!

Moonlight Panther Dancer can't be destroyed by my opponent's card effects!

What?!

Moonlight Panther Dancer can attack all of my opponent's monsters twice!

All of them twice?!

Battle!

I attack Archfiend Zombie-Skull with Panther Dancer!

You dealt damage, but you can't destroy them then?

Then I win!

I activate Equip Spell: Undead Heart!

At the end of the turn that the equipped monster battles with another monster with higher ,

It deals its own , , as damage to my opponent!

Your remaining LP is just !

You're going to regret not ending it in one attack!

That's true. I wasn't able to destroy it in the first attack...

Just the first attack. that is.

What did you say?!

Go, Panther Dancer!

Attack Zombie-Skull a second time!

It destroys on the second attack!

And at the same time. Panther Dancer's increases by until the end of the Battle Phase!

Then that means it'll attack twice next time with , and the third with ...!

That's right!

After this fourth attack, your life will run out.

It looks like you're the one who will be left with regrets!

Tony...!

And now the two of them have been destroyed by the two att*cks!

And the last attack has finished this Duel!

Brother cares about Tsukikage over me...

Our winner is Selena!

After Hiragi Yuzu, we have another female Duelist winning!

You see that, men?!

Now women are a part of this Dueling era!

There are no men or women here.

As a fellow Duelist, I wonder what kind of training she has received.

She seems to have been under quite proficient tutelage.

She will not betray your expectations.

Selena...

And with this, all of the matches of the first day of the Friendship Cup are finished!

Everyone!

Did you have fun!?

Yes! That's what I want to hear!

Then let's say our slogan one last time!

The City is one!

Huh?

The exits are this way!

Please don't push, no pushing!

H-Hey! It's we're all friends right?

At least get it right at the end! Jeez!

We're all friends? What kind of crap is that...

Those who lose are sent underground, how is this a Friendship Cup!?

Selena won, but now Tony is...

Tony was sent underground because he lost!

D-Doing things like this is wrong!

I won't accept this!

I never will!

This kind of tournament-!

But what can I do right now...

Even if I scream my heart out here...

I can't change the council's mind...

For the first day they have win and losses,

It looks like you were able to save face at the end.

Is Hiragi Yuzu, the girl who won before this, a Lancer?

It is true that she as well is a Duelist from the Standard Dimension like us.

She most certainly is of the same caliber as our other Lancer members.

Then if we were to include her, that would be it wins and losses.

I feel these results are a bit unsettling when you say you have come to our Dimension to protect us...

Isn't that right, Chairman?

Yes.

Well, we'll be expecting more from you tomorrow!

Well pardon me, we will excuse ourselves.

Wait a moment.

Since we watched the first day of the tournament together,

Would you mind joining us for a meal while we hear your thoughts on the results?

As it would be, we have invited a special guest.

Who would that be?

Known by all as the greatest Duelist,

The opponent your Lancers couldn't lay a finger on.

The pride of our City.

The Duel King.

Yes, him.

J-Jack...

Atlas!

How come I, the ace of LDS and the top Duelist among the Lancers, me, Sawatari Shingo...!

Wasn't put on the stage on the first day of the tournament!

There is no way something as stupid as this should be allowed!

No it isn't good at all!

That's obvious!

I'll get Papa to fire all of the tournament officials!

I'll fire all of them, you hear me!

Well, I'll let them off with this feast as an apology.

But I'd better be out there playing tomorrow!

I'll show you how amazing I am!

This food is delicious!

This is the first time I've eaten something this good!

I really am glad I entered the Friendship Cup!

Yuzu's probably thanking me right now!

But, didn't she enter the tournament to warn people about the Dimensional w*r?

But instead of that, she went around saying things like Hot-Blooded! and Shivers! during her Duel.

Oh well, I'll just knock their socks off tomorrow!

Delicious!

I gave it my all in that Duel...

But I don't know if Yuya heard it or if it cheered him up...

It'd be nice if I could see him and talk to him.

I don't know what I can do right now.

But I can't stay depressed!

For Yuzu and Tokumatsu who cheered me on...

I have to do something!

Your Dueling is too conceited!

It's far from being called Entertainment!

Could it be this is what Jack was trying to tell me!?

To Duel not for myself but for others...?!

No, it can't be!

His Dueling didn't have any of that kindness in it!

There's no way that is true Entertainment.

Entertainment to me definitely is Dad's Dueling...

Being able to make the audience, and even the Duelists competing all smile is true Entertainment!

Isn't that right, Dad?

So out of all the Duelists from the first day, Hiragi Yuzu stood out the most?

Her skills aside, it was clear that she was trying to express something.

That is true she was trying to express something...

Enjoy Choujirou answered to it splendidly!

Their Duel was really quite amazing!

Well of course, you did have your eye on him, Chairman!

It is a shame he was defeated.

Now he won't ever...

Oh, excuse me.

That boy was on the list of players as well, right?

My apologies, due to certain circumstances, we had it changed to someone else.

That Tsukikage ninja fellow you mean?

It seems you expected something out of him I believe...

Tsu...Tsukikage...

I would love to see that boy's Dueling.

Reira's Dueling?

Why would that be?

I had those same eyes.

Back then, I was always afraid of something, living with my nerves on edge.

Yes, it was right around your age.

I see.

Excuse me, but I've heard that you were born a Common, King?

It isn't anything to excuse yourself for.

Because I was born a Common and experienced living life at its lowest...

I was able to find the resolve to rise up and win my way out of there.

Being a Common is the main source of my pride.

I was wondering if he grew up in the same environment as I had.

As expected of the King.

I will answer with that you are very perceptive.

Huh? Really?

Isn't that child your younger brother?

Sorry if I'm being too invasive, but I wish to know how you came to walk down the path of a Duelist.

It could be a learning experience for Reira.

For me it was a single card.

That card fell from the heights of the Tops' city.

Maybe someone dropped it by mistake,

Or they threw it away as they didn't need it anymore.

It was most likely the latter.

That card had no spectacular worth or value, but...

The instant I looked at it I was hit with a starting revelation.

And I thought...

I have to return this card to the world above those skies.

With my own hands.

In order to that I had to become strong.

As a person, and as a Duelist.

Stronger than anyone.

I've heard that you two have came from a foreign land.

I won't question your reasoning for entering your comrades in the Friendship Cup..

But if you are trying to accomplish something...

Do not falter!

You're called Reira, yes?

I look forward to seeing you battle when you have found your own resolve.

It is an honor.

I am certain Reira is very proud to hear it from the Duel King himself.

E-Excuse me, I have a letter for you.

Th-this is-!

From the Chief!

It has been a while, Number .

No, let me allow you to refer to you by your former title, Duel Chaser.

I shall call you Duel Chaser .

Based on the match schedule that I have received for tomorrow's matches,

You will be facing off against Sakaki Yuya in the first match.

It is a pity it is not Yugo, the one who disgraced you, but...

Please make sure to soundly defeat Sakaki Yuya.

If you defeat him, I will permit the reinstatement of your position.

I-I knew it! The Chief hasn't...!

H-he hasn't abandoned me!

After losing to that Yugo in a Duel, I...!

I was demoted to the Commons and was chased day after day by my former members on the force as a criminal!

And just when I thought I would be sent off to jail after being arrested...

I was invited to this penthouse!

I finally understand why all of this happened!

Please watch, Chief.

This time I will answer to your expectations.

With this card I will...!

The Dueling I'm working towards is for sure my Father's!

I won't accept Jack's Dueling!

Or the Friendship Cup!

A tournament where you have to trample over and bring misfortune to others to win is wrong!

I just have to make everyone understand that!
