01x16 - Clean-Up Operation / The Man Who Washes Duels

[bunniefuu]

I'm sure this must be the place

that the fake Kaizo brought us to.

Isn't this...?

The A.I. Restaurant?

Please...

Help me...

It's out of power from swimming all the way to the ship.

What should we do?

What's there to do? Let's just go into the restaurant.

You probably don't know this, but we're banned from going inside.

Because of Gakuto.

Wait!

Luke-kun?

Hey!

Huh?

HUUUUUUUUH??!?!

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!

Title: The Man Who Washes Duels

A refreshing meadow.

Under the sea.

A jungle.

A beach on the southern islands.

As expected from Goha's state-of-the-art restaurant!

A throne for the King of Duels!

Hey, don't change it as you please!

And who was it that got you into the restaurant?

Thank you, Atachi-san.

It's good to have friends like you.

I-It really was a surprise to meet everyone here.

This usually isn't a place that elementary schoolers would go to.

What's going on?

Were you going to have dinner with your parents today?

Huh? Y-Yes.

Mama and papa are busy, so it's usually just me...

Atachi-sama.

There will be get-together for Top of Hexagon members shortly in the banquet hall—

Aaah!!

I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick!

Hm?

Oh, Kaizo.

Just hang on a bit longer.

Did you really put Kaizo's data in...?

Yeah. The remnants were transferred in here.

I couldn't bring the whole body inside.

Yes.

I'll be absent from the get-together.

Since I'm with Oudou Yuuga and his friends,

I can try to obtain more information about the relic and possibly Otis.

I'm so full, so full~ let's go home now~

We didn't come here just to eat!

Plus, look at how much you ordered!

This restaurant has a special yen price to commemorate its opening, right?

Is it really still going?

Your check has arrived.

WHAAAT?!

But, the yen price...!

That ended seconds ago.

No waaay!!

This is all because you ate so much!

I couldn't help it! It was delicious!

You always do things while only thinking of yourself instead of how it affects other people!

Do you understand how much trouble you cause?!

That's my line.

What are you saying?!

Don't tell me you forgot what happened with Roa?

That sure was a lot of trouble... thanks to a certain traitor.

Romin-kun is not a traitor!

That's right, she's no longer a traitor.

Luke! Luke-kun!

Please pay the bill.

Alright then.

You'll wash dishes until you can pay off the price of your bill.

I am Goha rd Elementary's th grade president of the Washing Club, Arai Arata.

In order to master the secrets of dish washing,

I decided to come train here at the A.I. Restaurant.

Today, for sure...

I'll find out how to uninstall Rush Duels!

Huh?

Where did they go?

What's the matter with Luke?

Don't tell me he plans to leave us and not come back...

Is he saying that he refuses to be near a "traitor"?

Alright! Now that I'm refreshed, I've thought of an idea.

Yuuga, make us a "road" that will return us to the yen price point and it'll all be alright!

Huh?

Where did everyone go?

Huh?

It's fine. If he doesn't come back, then he doesn't.

It's not like I ever considered him a close friend anyway...

Th-Those are the extremely high grade Goha-made dishes...!

Together with your bill,

it's worth at least a Goha employee's yearly bonus times one million!

No way!!

You can pay by card if you want.

What kind of elementary schooler has a credit card?!

The cards I'm talking about...

are Rush Duel cards.

If you can b*at me, I'll forget about your debt.

And if I lose?

Then you'll spend your life washing dishes here for free.

Rush Duels are

a stain upon the image of duels.

Rush duels are a stain?!

And stains must be immediately cleansed!

In order to wipe that stain of a Rush Duel off of normal duels, first I'll scrub you out of existence!

Really, where did everyone go?

Wash!

Why are they dressed like th—

Let me do it!

After all, it was my fault.

No, it was originally because of Luke-kun.

If anything, he should be the one—

Luke left us because of me.

What?! I left?!

Where have I gone?!

Aren't they in this situation because of you?

Hurry up and say something.

Huh? U-Uh, but...

I won't forgive anyone for saying bad things about Rush Duels.

Let's go!

Wash!

RUSH DUEL: RUSH DUEL!!

My turn, draw!

It's here!

Prima Guitarna!

Be prepared for a knockout from the first track!

I summon Elengel and Eleckiss!

And then I'll sacrifice them both

to tribute summon!

Romin: Starting a live! A complete dive!

Romin: Patience at the limit ➝ go overdrive!

Romin: Prima Guitarna of the Colorful Light!

Romin: Making her sudden appearance today!

The strongest muse that Romin-kun managed to get with her power!

I end my turn.

Then... I'll start washing you away with my draw!

I set one card face down.

Oops, can't have my duel disk be dirty.

And now since it's clean...

I activate my set spell card, Pure White Bubbles Bleach Motor!

Bleach Motor's effect activates,

targeting one level or higher monster on your field and washing off their ATK!

Until the end of this turn, your monster's ATK goes down by , and so does your life points!

Why is he going through the trouble of setting a spell card to use instead of just using it?

That movement just now...

Then I summon Washbuckler - Washooter and activate its effect!

(TL Note: literally read as "washing (machine) musketeer", translation is a pun)

If there is a level or higher monster on my opponent's field,

I can return one spell card from my graveyard to my deck.

Then draw one card!

Then I set another card!

Oop, it's dirty again.

And once it's clean again...

I activate my spell card, Bleach Motor!

Again with that card?!

His duel disk... can't be that dirty, can it?

He had two of the same card in his hand?

Or did he just happen to draw the same card that he returned to his deck?

No.

It's could be that he's...

I summon another Washbuckler - Washooter and activate its effect!

I return a spell card from my graveyard to my deck.

Then draw out the stain!

I set another card!

You'll continue to notice dirt even after washing it a lot.

I activate my set spell card, Bleach Motor!

No way!

She doesn't even have a chance to fight back!

Her life points are down , and Prima Guitarna is at ATK...

I sacrifice two monsters to tribute summon!

Cleanman: You are ordered to report to the Deodorant Regiment of the Sterilization Division of the Disinfectant Army at once!

Cleanman: Atten-tion!

Cleanman: Green Beret Colonel Mop!

Standing before the girl with wounds all over her body...

is a veteran of the cleaning special forces!

Wash-wash-wash-wash-wash!

She's been scrubbed into a corner...!

Hey.

You're cheating, right?

Washt?

Cheating?

A cheat... he's been cheating?!

Looks like Yuuga also noticed.

A-And what proof do you have of that?

Whenever you set a card,

you always go to touch your duel disk.

To "clean away the dirt".

Don't tell me...

Whenever you set a card, you secretly switch it out?

Let us examine your duel disk!

I refuse.

If I really was cheating, wouldn't Goha's systems notice that and stop the duel immediately?

If the system doesn't notice anything wrong,

no one is allowed to touch my duel disk.

He's right.

This is something that's specifically stated in the Goha Code of Dueling...

It's fine even if we can't touch it.

Huh?

I can just use the power of the devil slumbering inside me to render his duel disk's cheating moot.

But...

Romin...

This must be karma for betraying Luke and everyone else.

That has to be it.

That traitorous spy...

That girl is a friend who cherishes Rush Duels just as much as Yuuga-kun, Gakuto-kun, and you do.

Right?

Wash.

I set one card.

If he keeps cheating like this,

Romin-kun's defeat is sealed.

She will have to wash dishes for the rest of her life!

This is fine.

If I'm gone,

then Luke will come back to Yuuga and Gakuto.

Oopsie, it's dirty again.

Sorry for the wait.

Luke!

Luke-kun!

Luke?

Who are you?

The man most worthy to sit upon the Throne of Duels.

Huh?

Chuu Luke: Oh, ruler of chaos and oblivion that resides within the abyss of my soul.

Chuu Luke: Now is the hour to release the crest of our contract and, with your jet-black radiance,

Chuu Luke: confer the hammer of judgement upon us.

Chuu Luke: LUKE DEVIL!!

The first Pauli Effect in a while!

So it had a name like that!

Luke...!

Ah, the power!

The functions...!

The cheat function won't work!

Who on earth are you?!

The man who is written into fate, with the devil as his servant.

Chuu Luke: Kamijou—

So you really were cheating!

How dirty!

Kamijou Ta—

I was cleaning it because it was dirty!

I'll wash you all away!

I'll scrub you out until you shine!

Your boasting is all just "pure white" lies, huh.

(TL Note: a pun with 自慢 meaning pride and 白激泡 from the "Pure White Bubbles" card)

Scrub, scrub, scrub.

I activate Green Beret Colonel Mop's effect!

Cleanman: Washing Reload!

If you have a level or higher monster on your field,

I can return one spell card from my graveyard to my deck.

Ah, now he'll draw that card again next turn!

It seems he can do this even without cheats.

Atachi-san?

Colonel Mop, go and wash out that Prima Guitarna of the Colorful Light!

My turn's end is spotless!

Romin-kun's ace...!

But thanks to Luke, Romin managed to survive this turn.

N-No one asked for your help.

You say that, but you were practically crying with happiness seconds ago.

Wh-What?! No!!

Well, of course!

Without my Luke Devil, you would already have lost.

I mean, that's true but...

If I didn't lend you my help, you would have been washing dishes for the rest of your life.

Yeah, and speaking of which, you—

Don't be so shy and thank me already!

From now on you can just call me Luke-sama!

Or even Great King Luke-sama is fine!

Double Talk: Or maybe Great Ruler... Luke-dono... Your Excellency?

The truth is, I want to loudly shout "thank you" right now, really.

I'm on the verge of tears, and yet despite this...

Agh, I've reached my limit.

Why won't he just let me cry tears of joy?!

That STUPID DEVIL!!!

Huh?

It's time for my ultimate live!

Don't you dare even blink and miss a second!

Let's go! I draw!

I summon Eleckiss and Romance Pick!

When my life points are lower than my opponent's,

I can pay life points to activate Romance Pick's effect!

I send the top cards of my deck to the graveyard,

and if there is a Psychic monster among them,

then from my graveyard, hey come on!

And then, I sacrifice both Eleckiss and Romance Pick!

Tribute summon!!

Romin: The engraved rhythm of my soul!

Romin: Smash all with a b*at of fury!

Romin: Esperaid of the Smashing Light!

At this moment, I activate my trap card!

Extravagant Bubble Wall!

Until the end of this turn, Esperaid can neither activate its effect or direct att*ck.

What?!

Then I'll activate my own spell card,

A Fanclub for Myself!

From my graveyard, Romance Pick and Prima Guitarna

will be special summoned to your field in defense position.

What?

And then I regain life points.

You summoned your own ace monster to your opponent's field?!

I hope you're prepared for the next song!

I summon two Romance Picks!

I activate both of their effects!

I sacrifice two monsters

to tribute summon two copies of Romic’n’Roller!

She's got high-level monsters summoned.

However...

Along with Colonel Mop, Romin-kun's monsters are also on the opposite field...

What is going on?

Romic’n’Roller's effects activate!

If my life points are below ,

then until the end of this turn, all the monsters on your field will lose ATK and DEF!

Here's another song!

I send one card from my hand to the graveyard to activate Greater Piercing!!

Greater Piercing!! is the spell card that Gakuto used to deal heavy damage to Romin!

She can choose monsters with the same level to inflict piercing damage.

To recognize the strength of your opponent's card enough to add it to your own deck...

What a great person you are, Romin-kun!

Now I'm the one in a corner...!

You also cheated, didn't you?!

Such an uncool play...

Do you think I'd be able to hype up the audience's souls with that?!

Romic’n’Roller's scorching b*at!

Strike down Romance Pick!

Then Prima Guitarna!

b*at him down with the max volume rock'n'roll bazooka, Esperaid!

Romin: Dreaded Refrain of Fear!

So Romin-kun gets like this not only when she's hungry,

but also when she reaches the limit of her patience.

This time, she lost it at not being able to cry, huh.

Oh, but since you're back to normal, that means...

Wh-Who's crying?

Your eyes are all swollen.

Even if I knew, why would I tell you?!

About how that drone disappeared behind a door or whatever!

Really? Behind a door?

Oh, sh**t!

I saw that door earlier.

E-Even if you've found the door, it can't be opened without the key anyway!

WAAAASHT?!

Th-This is...?

Y-Yuuga-kun?

I apologize deeply for what I've done!!

I thought I could stop them on my own!!

You deeply misunderstand such cowardly acts to be your strength,

so you cannot come back here anymore.

Neil-sama!!

What is this?!

Are we trapped here?

It's nice to meet you, everyone.

Welcome... to the Garden of Providence.

A towering school building (ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong)

The six Pleiades raining down

If going through tough times or if you lose your way

(Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong)

If you come here then it'll be alright — your future will shine

And so we keep that light in our chests

It's always

! It's !

If it's learning, then it's !

It's ! It's !

No matter what, we'll always meet at that place

Every day at Goha th Elementary

Double Talk: tip: ko-fi/sakaki

It's Yuuga's

and Luke's

monster study corner!

This time it's Romic’n’Roller.

She can lower both the ATK and DEF of your opponent's monsters.

It can only be used in a pinch,

but it's powerful.

That said, I was extremely surprised that Arai cheated.

And I made it all redundant with my LUKE DEVIIIIIIL!!

Next time:

The Cat in the Garden of Providence

I'll carve through and push forward on my road!
