02x05 - Kendo Conflict! / I'm the Fourth Assassin

[bunniefuu]

From sunup to sundown, everyday without rest, it keeps doing stretches...

The robot's joints must be under a lot of stress.

At this rate, it’ll break into pieces...

I'm sorry... because I lost, I ended up giving them a point...

Aaah!

Don't worry about it, Romin-chan!

The current score against the Goha President Siblings is -!

We're still ahead by point!

Ahahahaha!

That's right, Romin!

A little scratch won't stop us.

You have the King of Duels, Luke-sama on your side!

No need to worry!

Be quiet! The student council president is working!

Gakuto-san is so amazing.

As expected of the prez.

Go enjoy, feel, believe, and plunge into the light!

For some reason, when I looked up at the sun, I sneezed

A weird action, satisfaction, a hunch that something would happen

On those stifling days, come here when you're tired

Keep chasing your impulsive urges, for the ordinary is boring

To your turn that belongs to no one else

To the road's end that nobody sees

To our Harevutai that's like no one else's

greatest stage

I wanna enjoy, feel, believe, and kick the earth!

Limit break past your dreams and aim for that meteor!

We'll go beyond that boundary and surpass it!

Believe in that light shining in your hands!

Go enjoy, feel, believe, and plunge into the light!

Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush Duel!

Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush Duel!

Let's go Rush! Let's go Rush!


Title: The Fourth Assailant Cometh

Concentrating with the people serving you without being distracted by your surroundings.

Concentrating with the people serving you without being distracted by your surroundings.

Concentrating with the people serving you without being distracted by your surroundings.

That is the heart of the Sougetsu Style.

Okay... I am now finished with all student council work for the day.

Alright! Now let's prepare to duel those Goha President Siblings!

Then let's do our best.

S-Student council president!

Hm?

Agh! A kendo zombie!

You're... the Kendo Club's president, Tsurugi Shinken-kun and Mendou Kotetsuki-kun.

Yes... urk.

Student council president, please help us!

Could you substitute for us in this weekend’s kendo tournament?

Substitute?

Yes... urk.

Actually...

Hah!

Yeah!

Strike!

I-I concede.

No!

At this rate, I won't be able to b*at my fated rival, Nitou Ryuu-kun from Goha nd!

Man...

But without special training...

Ah, that's right!

Excuse us!

Hm?

Within Goha City, you are a martial arts master who's said to have no equal.

We beg you to please train us!

President of the Wind Music Club, Master Kamijou Haruka!

Didn't I say to call me Tiger?!

...and that's what happened.

You were incapacitated before training even begun, huh.

I cannot abandon a club in need.

I will gladly be your substitute!

Th-Thank you so much!

Double Talk: Thank you...!

Wh-What is going on?

There's no one here!

Did you get the time or place wrong?

No, that couldn’t be...

Ah!

Excuse me, do you...

How rude!

What's with you?!

Don't get close to the young master with your unpleasant motor noise!

I am the Proprietress of the Goha Michelin Drone Restaurant.

Proprietress?

Ahem.

Well, today's kendo tournament has been suspended.

Suspended?!

Instead, all of you will be witness to the young master.

Is this alright with you, young master Yuuran?

Yes, Proprietress.

Hang on!

Who d*ed and made you boss?

In the first place, what's your deal?! Who is that guy?!

How arrogant of you, girly!

Wh-Who's a "girly"?!

How could you not know who he is?

He's the rd son of the Goha President Siblings, the young master Goha Yuuran!

He was one of them!

So now witness!

The winner will be decided through a Kendo Rush Duel.

Kendo Rush Duel?!

That sounds like an interesting combination!

"Interesting"?

If you take this lightly, the young master will cut you down without hesitation!

You're too loud, Proprietress.

Very well, then I will acquiesce.

Gakuto?

Only I, who has mastered the heart of the Sougetsu Style, can take on this challenge as both a duelist and kendo player.

Bear witness to this, Goha Yuuran-dono!

It was just light out, but now it's already night?

It's beginning now, the Kendo Rush Duel.

Let’s have Yuuran-nii-san show us some proper dignity as a Goha president.

Yuuro-nii-san and Yuujin-nii-san were both useless, after all.

And... tuna!

Kendo Rush Duel... It is when two people form a team and blows are exchanged alongside att*cks.

It’s a new form of martial art.

He will be our referee!

Neil again...

Contestants assemble!

I'll show you the heart of the Sougetsu Style!

Here we go, Rinnosuke-kun!

Yes, Gakuto-sama!

Young master Yuuran will make your blades rust!

Bamboo sticks can't rust, Proprietress.

RUSH DUEL: Kendo Rush Duel!

Begin!

It's our turn now.

Young master, please draw.

Understood. I draw.

Young master, would you kindly summon?

Yeah. I set a monster.

Aren't you going to set more?

Right.

Then, I set three cards.

Are you ending your turn now, young master?

Yes.

He ends his turn!

What's with her...

She just never shuts up, does she?

That drone cares a lot about him, doesn't she?

She's just like my grandma.

My turn. I draw!

I summon Turtle Keeper of Traditions, Pierce-Enforcing Brave, and Hero is the Yeet.

I send the top card of my deck to the grave to activate Pierce-Enforcing Brave's effect!

This turn, Hero is the Yeet can deal piercing damage!

Then I sacrifice two!

Tribute summon!

Gakuto: There is no going back, and nowhere to run.

Gakuto: Resolve is something I decide!

Gakuto: I will follow this feeling of friendship hidden deep within my heart ever forward!

Gakuto: Come forth! Fiendish Commander Kimeruler!

Then, I summon Masaki the Legendary Samurai General!

Here I go.

Kimeruler's effect activates.

This turn, it can direct att*ck!

Gakuto: Prepare for the single horseman's charge!

Gakuto: All wounds inflicted upon me, I shall inflict upon you twice!

Gakuto: This is what I've come to decide!

Gakuto: Fiendish Commander Kimeruler!

Gakuto: Fiendish Commander: Slash of Decisive Commandment!

He summoned Kimeruler so quickly!

Gakuto made the first strike!

Haaaahh!

Young master, be careful!

I didn't expect him to—!

Of course, Proprietress.

We activate the trap, Greeting Strike!

We deal you Kimeruler's level times in damage!

Hah!

Good strike.

However, Kimeruler's direct att*ck cannot be stopped!

Yes!

Strike!

He did it!

He managed to deal a huge amount of damage at once!

Gakuto, shut that stupid old granny drone up!

Gakuto-sama.

That Yuuran was the one who challenged you to this Kendo Rush Duel, right?

Yet, he seems weak and has no fighting spirit.

He leaves everything to that Proprietress... and doesn't seem to make his own decisions.

I never thought there would be someone that feeble among the Goha President Siblings.

I'm sure that just means each of the siblings have their own individual personalities.

Now, full speed ahead!

Yes!

Swirl-swirl... I was washing my costume before heading out and now I'm late!

Um, the entrance was at...

Swirl?

Kendo zombie?!

Help me...

Swirl?

Help me...!

Swirl-wirl-wirly!

Hero is the Yeet att*cks your facedown monster!

Ah, the Year-Old Broom!

Then, with Pierce-Enforcing Brave's effect, Hero is the Yeet deals piercing damage!

O-Ow...

It's not over yet!

There's still the ATK Masaki the Legendary Samurai General!

It's Gakuto-sama's victory!

Isn't it time for a trap card?

Yes, Proprietress.

I activate the trap, Trumpet to March.

When our monster is destroyed, we can special summon a Warrior-type monster from our hand.

I special summon Decade Mystic Sword.

Then, Masaki the Legendary Samurai General...

att*cks your Decade Mystic Sword!

Alright!

Young master, you have more, don't you?

Yes, Proprietress.

I activate the trap, Cross-Sword Deathmatch.

When a monster is destroyed...

We can inflict times the number of Normal EARTH monsters in our grave as damage to you!

Then, if you took damage from this effect...

We can destroy one monster of yours!

What a most skillful barrage of att*cks and traps.

You’re good, Yuuran-dono.

I humbly accept your praise.

I wasn’t speaking to you!

He's used a lot of traps to counterattack, but in the end, Gakuto still has more life points!

Yes!

Yeah!

Hey, about that Yuuran guy...

So you noticed it too, Luke?

Though it seems like he leaves everything to the Proprietress, in actuality, his Rush Duel is more...

S-

Swirl-wirl-wirl...!

Swirly?

You're super late.

Th-This person was collapsed out back...

That's my fated rival!

Goha nd Kendo Club's Nitou Ryuu-kun!

Ah, Tsurugi-kun and Mendou-kun...

Mhm.

I'm tired...

What happened?

U-Um, so... so...!

I-It's him!

The guy who b*at everyone up!

He appeared out of nowhere...

And then, in a single moment...!

He cut everyone down!!

All by himself?!

Oh my God!

Heh, I've learned everything I need to know.

Proprietress, it's time.

As you wish, young master.

He actually spoke for himself?!

My turn, draw.

I summon Century Ancient Wooden Sword.

I activate Shuhari Sword.

This turn, my monsters cannot att*ck.

But if I have a Normal EARTH monster on my field, I can destroy one monster with or higher DEF on your field.

Ah! Kimeruler!

Then, I regain LP and you...

Chest hit!

Take LP in damage.

Gakuto-sama was supposed to be in the lead, but... Kimeruler has been destroyed and now their LP are about equal?!

This is Yuuran's style.

The way Goha Yuuran fights.

Yuuran gathers a variety of information based on the way someone speaks.

He is a master genius at listening to others’ thoughts and accumulating and analyzing information.

Sougetsu Gakuto...

All information about your dueling style and past record are right in here.

I sacrifice one monster.

Then set a monster facedown.

A facedown tribute summon?!

Then, I set two cards.

And end my turn.

The heart of the Sougetsu Style cannot be analyzed so easily!

I draw!

I summon a monster.

I sacrifice two monsters.

Tribute summon!

Gakuto: I won't set limits for myself!

Gakuto: I will let the moonlight guide me alongside the confidence within my heart!

Gakuto: Come forth!

Gakuto: Moon Fiendish Commander Kimeluna!

Moon Fiendish Commander Kimeluna?!

It's Gakuto's new monster!

It's not a Ruler, but instead Luna?!

B-But...

He tribute summoned a ATK monster...

You'll see.

I activate the spell, Shield & Sword!

All monsters have their ATK and DEF switched until the end of this turn!

ATK and DEF switched?!

This is Gakuto's pattern for certain victory!

Right!

Since Yuuran tribute summoned a monster facedown, Gakuto knows that it probably has high DEF!

So that's why he tribute summoned the ATK Kimeluna!

No!

My true goal is this!

Moon Fiendish Commander Kimeluna's effect!

I can choose up to two monsters on your field and switch their positions!

Wh-What?!

Oh no!

DEF?!

Amazing! It's a totally defensive monster!

But no matter how high your DEF is...

That's right! Millennium Shield's ATK is !

Splendid, Gakuto-sama!

Not yet!

You must fight fire with fire, defense with defense!

I summon Unjust-Defense Brave.

And now!

Trap card, Millennium Defense, activate.

If Millennium Shield is on my field and you summon a monster, I can special summon two EARTH monsters from my grave.

Then, I inflict LP damage.

Gakuto!

I’ve already seen through your scheme, Yuuran-dono.

Your strategy is to use defense position monsters to protect yourself while damaging me with trap card effects.

A plot such as that... will be struck back down by the heart of my Sougetsu Style!

Unjust-Defense Brave's effect!

This turn, all damage from trap cards is negated!

He strengthened his defenses!

There's more!

I activate Aegis of the Five Houses!

Until the end of this turn, both Kimeluna and Unjust-Defense Brave cannot be destroyed by traps!

A perfect defense!

I can see it! My road to victory!

I'll destroy your genius!

Gakuto: Let the moonlight shine on your weakness and strike it at once!

Gakuto: Fiendish Commander: Moonlight Strike!

att*ck Millennium Shield!

Trap card, Sword & Shield, activate!

Moon Fiendish Commander Kimeluna's ATK and DEF are switched, as well as that of Millennium Shield's!

What?!

Their ATK and DEF swapped again!

Gakuto-sama's winning play—

—was countered?!

Young master Yuuran's style is...

Counterattacking!

Counting money?

[TL Note: "go no sen" (counterattack) and "gosen en" ( yen) sound similar, so Luke is mishearing.]

Counterattacking...

It is a sword art that lets you see through an att*ck at the right time...

...to slice a gaping hole in your opponent's body with a single blow.

I said it before.

All information about your dueling style and past record are right in here.

When I set Millennium Shield,

I knew you'd realize that it had high DEF and try to change it to att*ck position to render it useless.

No way...

You could read...

...that far?!

My real aim was this.

Kimeluna!

To think you’d be this cunning...

Goha Yuuran-dono...!

Victory confirmed!

Gakuto-sama! Rinnosuke!

Are you alright?!

Good work, young master Yuuran.

Mm.

Did he really read all of Gakuto's moves?

He probably set all of this up.

From the very start of the Kendo Rush Duel, all of it...

As expected, Yuuran can't be underestimated.

Now it's a - tie.

That's fine.

I won't lose.

Not as long as I have that...

The back that's supposed to be far beyond

is out of sight

There's no map leading to the goal

So which way should I even go?

I had planned on standing alone

But now, you're by my side

and that isn't bad at all

Even if my hands can't reach

the future I want to grasp

and the dreams I want to come true

still remain as dreams

Let's sing as loud as we can!

As long as I walk beside you

Tomorrow will surely surpass today!

I will surely surpass the me of today!

It's Yuuga,

Luke, and friends'

Monster Research Lab!

Today is the totally Warrior-type Millennium Shield!

With DEF, it's a really tough monster!

With a DEF like that, it can even withstand an att*ck from Blue Eyes!

Using cards like Sword & Shield that swap ATK and DEF can help you deal huge damage to your opponent!

Of course, you would know best!

Next time:

Intertwined Fates.

Or, in other words...

Fate...

...osaurus!
