Part 2: 01x07 - Rivals in the Ring

[bunniefuu]

When I sent Girag to the humans' world,

I made his mission clear,

he was to defeat Yuma Tsukumo and get his Numbers.

But clearly he is not strong enough for the task!

Alito!

Alito, where are you?

Yes, Dumon, what is it?

Alito, you must travel to the human's world immediately!

We need you to retrieve the Numbers located there!

But why do I have to be the one?

Send someone else on this mission.

I have no desire to assume human form

with all their limits.

Plus my dueling skills would be completely

squandered on their world!

I have chosen you, Alito.

I will go then, Dumon.

Since you are so insistent.

Remember, Barian World is depending on you!

I promise I will not fail!

For all our sakes, I hope you are right.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Yuma Tsukumo must be defeated.

Our world desperately needs those Numbers.

Why send Alito?

He only cares about himself and he's far too impulsive.

Mizar, I know what I'm doing.

We need an expert duelist for this mission and Alito

is certainly one of our best.

His competitive nature will be a great advantage.

Do not fear.

Yuma Tsukumo's Numbers will soon be ours!

What a voice, what sweet music.

She's so good!

Hey!

Girag... I didn't know you were a music fan.

Who are you!

What, you don't you recognize me?

I forgot we never met in this form before.

You asked for it, kid, and you're gonna get it!

No human could match my moves that way...

Alito!

It's you!

It's been a long time!

(Alito) But it seems you haven't changed a bit.

Even though you look very different now,

you're still a slacker!

I'm just takin' a break.

Yeah, well you've been taking it too easy, which is why

I was sent here to get the mission back on track.

You won't be any more successful than me!

Of course I will, because I'll keep

all my focus on dueling!

I'm not gonna get distracted like you!

While you keep failing, I'll get it done!

(indistinct conversation)

This mission is a total waste of my time.

I'm supposed to be collecting Numbers, but I can only use

these pathetic humans to get them.

I guess I won't be doing any dueling here.

Oh, well!

Hey, watch out!

Oops, sorry!

Are you okay?

I must be dreaming!

Hey, Girag...

Do you believe "love at first sight" is real?

Because I know it is.

It just happened to me!

Girag, I don't know who that girl is,

but I'm going to win her heart.

I'll use my classic "counter" strategy!

This counter?

That math quiz was super easy!

You're the one I bumped into yesterday.

I wanted to apologize.

Please forgive me.

Step onestart by turning up the heat.

That's okay.

It was my fault.

Then counter your first impression by playing it cool.

Heads down, dudettes!

You'll never catch up to me now!

Who's that?

(Yuma) Don't be so sure, Bronk!

Watch where you're going!

Catch you later, Tori!

Bronk, hold up, that was interference!

Hey, wait for me!

Tori...

(boy) Marco!

(boy) Polo!

(boy) Marco!

(Alito) Hey there!

How's it goin'?

Step two, use the unexpected to catch her off guard.

Quit goofing around!

You could get hurt!

Now that I've got her attention,

I'll give her a scare!

She'll be completely defenseless

as I unleash one of my most disarming lines.

You should be more careful.

It was actually your fault.

I was so dazzled by your gorgeous eyes,

that it threw off my balance!

My eyes-- really?

(Yuma) Let's do a double-dive!

C'mon Ray!

Time to high-five the sky!

Don't make me!

Heads up!

Hey, look out!

(Alito) Excuse me, Tori?

I believe you dropped this.

That doesn't belong to me.

Step threewin her heart with the perfect compliment!

That's strange.

I was sure it had fallen from one of your wings

since you're such an "angel."

Cover your mouth!

Sorry!

Wait, where're we going now?

(Tori) Get back here, you hear me?

(Girag) Your strategy didn't work?

No!

Maybe you need to come up with a different strategy, Alito.

No, I'm sure it would've worked if that

other kid hadn't kept interfering.

It was like he was trying to sabotage me

every step of the way!

Sounds like you got a rival.

And in that case, there's only one thing you can do.

You've gotta prove to her that you're better

than this other guy.

Challenge him to a no-holds-barred,

one-on-one duel.

Show her that you're a winner and she'll fall for you.

You may be on to something, Girag.

Listen, your problem is solved

if you just do this one thing.

Win!

Now fuel up for your duel!

I will duel, and win!

Hey!

A note?

Huh...

"Meet me on the roof to duel for Tori."

Hey, who is that from?

Where'd you come from?

Morning, I'm glad to see you too!

Hi.

Look, I got a note that says you're challenging me

to a duel over Tori, but I'm sure it's a joke!

My note was serious and I demand

an answer from you right now!

Do you accept my challenge or no?

If you refuse, Tori will realize I am

the only one who is truly worthy of her!

I have no idea what you're talking about!

But I never turn down the chance to duel!

Duel Disk, go!

Duel Gazer, let's roll!

(computer voice) Augmented Reality Vision Link established!

Let's duel!

Let's duel!

I'll get us started!

I draw!

Whatever card I pick should help me take charge

of this duel right from the start.

I know!

First I summon Battlin' Boxer Headgeared!

Great!

And next I'm going to activate spell card Ring Announcer!

Now the sparring can really get started,

'cause this spell lets me summon

another of my Battlin' Boxer monsters!

In my corner, it's Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw!

I'm far from done, cause,

I now I overlay Headgeared and Glassjaw!

With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke!

I've handled tougher Xyz monsters than that.

You should be extra cautious.

What do you mean?

I am sensing that there is something different

about this opponent.

No!

I can't believe it!

That must be... Astral!

He's the one who came from Astral World.

And that can only mean one thing.

That kid is Yuma Tsukumo!

I'll place two cards facedown.

It's your move!

This duel should be more interesting than I expected!

It's my turn!

I draw!

I'll start off by summoning Gagaga Magician.

And I'll follow it up by activating

my spell Blustering Winds!

This spell packs the force of a hurricane,

boosting my monster's att*ck points by a thousand!

And it's all heading your way!

Work your magic, Gagaga!

Blast Lead Yoke!

Quick, Lead Yoke!

Use your special ability now!

It can use an Overlay Unit to shield itself

from being KO'd in battle!

What?

But that won't protect you from damage!

You call that an att*ck?

I forgot to mention Lead Yoke's other special ability!

Whenever it loses Overlay Units,

Lead Yoke gains att*ck points!

As I feared, this monster is not to be taken lightly, Yuma.

Guess I'll have to end my turn.

Which means I draw!

Straightaway, I'll activate my spell Mano a Mano!

If I were you, I'd brace myself!

If either of us takes damage in battle, this spell increases

that damage by a thousand points!

Now Lead Yoke, Ko Gagaga Magician!

I won't be pulling any punches,

'cause I want you to throw in the towel!

(Alito) I won't be pulling any punches,

'cause I want you to throw in the towel!

Throw in the towel?

You had enough, or should we go another round?

You know it.

You're up now, but I'm gonna be the last man standing!

You've got spirit even if you are gonna lose!

Except I'm not gonna lose!

To start my comeback, I'll summon Dododo Warrior!

I don't need to tribute to summon this monster,

because I'm going to lower its att*ck points by !

After that, I'll activate a spell

to bring back my Magician!

I play Monster Reborn!

Gagaga has an awesome trick up its sleeve.

Once per turn, it can change its Level between one and eight,

so I'm switching its Level to six.

Now I overlay my Level six Dododo Warrior

and Gagaga Magician!

With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon a monster that's packed with power...

Gauntlet Launcher!

Then I'll activate Gauntlet Launcher's special ability!

By using an Overlay Unit, it can destroy

one monster on the field!

No way!

I could never block that!

Unless of course, I play this...

the trap Xyz Block!

All I have to do is remove an Overlay Unit from my Xyz Monster

and then Xyz Block negates your monster's special ability!

Yuma, I am afraid this monster

presents us with a serious challenge.

Every time Lead Yoke loses an Overlay Unit it grows stronger!

That monster has muscles on its muscles!

This will require you to rethink your strategy.

I'll put two cards facedown and then end my turn!

Sure thing!

You can finish them off now, Lead Yoke.

Go ahead and att*ck Gauntlet Launcher!

Charge full speed ahead and pummel it into oblivion!

I activate the trap Battle Rush!

This trap prevents your monster from being destroyed,

and he takes any damage that you would have taken.

Well played, Yuma.

I expected that!

What?

With my incredible "counter" strategy,

I can block practically any move you try!

I activate my Fancy Footwork trap card!

Any trap you activate in battle is destroyed,

so it's bye-bye Battle Rush!

Now, go for the victory blow, Lead Yoke!

The damage you take will be increased substantially

by his spell Mano a Mano.

You will be down to life points.

Not if I use Xyz Strike!

You cannot Yuma, that is too risky!

I have no choice!

If it works, my trap will counter his trap!

I have to draw one card from my deck.

If it's a monster card, then the two monsters

battling will swap att*ck points,

then the att*ck points of my opponent's monster

get zeroed out!

Yes, but the damage you take will be doubled

if the card you draw is not a monster!

I have to take the chance or I don't deserve to win!

Yuma!

I'm feeling the flow!

Oh, yeah!

A monster card!

Gauntlet Launcher, bash him with a Turbo Jab!

I won?

I'm amazing!

Thank you, thank you!

He was prepared to utilize the spell card Flaming Knockout!

If Yuma had not used his trap card to destroy Lead Yoke,

then his opponent's spell card Flaming Knockout

could have been activated and dealt him damage equal

to his own monster's att*ck points!

If that was the case, then Yuma would certainly

have lost the duel.

It seems that whenever Yuma finds himself

backed into a corner,

he always believes he will find a way to

"high five the sky"...

I am glad when he does not fall flat on his face.

Best win of all time!

(Tori) Yuma!

Tori!

What's wrong? Sorry, Yuma.

I didn't mean to blab about the note to Tori,

but I'm afraid that keeping secrets is not exactly

the Ray way.

I can't believe it, Yuma!

Are you really dueling over me?

Over you?

(Alito) Yuma Tsukumo!

I can't believe you defeated me!

Not by much, though.

Still...

Look, it's no big deal.

If we dueled again, it could turn out differently.

No, enough!

I don't want you dueling over me anymore!

Excuse me.

Oh, well.

That was amazing!

What?

I thought this duel would be easy!

What a mistake!

Oh by the way, my name's Alito.

Remember that name 'cause you and I are

gonna be dueling a lot, Yuma!

What's wrong?

You don't wanna duel more?

Of course I do!

Hey!

What about me?

(Yuma) I'm winning our next duel, too!

(Alito) The only thing you're winning is a one way ticket

to Loser World!

(Yuma) Oh, yeah?
