And just like that, your monster is wide open!
Now, tiger dragon!
att*ck that speed warrior!
Aah!
I have you on the very brink of defeat, yusei!
I place one card face down and end my turn!
[Thinking] I have life points left
And a , att*ck point tiger dragon left to take down.
I'm gonna need all the help I can get here.
It's my draw!
Come out, debris dragon!
What--a tuner monster?!
That's right,
And when debris dragon is successfully summoned onto the field,
I can summon another monster from my graveyard
That has or fewer att*ck points.
And that monster's-- sonic chick!
Now level debris dragon tunes with level shield warrior
And level sonic chick
To create a creature that has the elements of the cosmos
Coursing through its veins!
I synchro summon the stardust dragon!
[Chuckling]
Just as I'd hoped.
What?
The ghost?!
His ultimate monster!
That's right-- machine emperor wisel.
And once per turn,
He can absorb a synchro monster on your field!
A synchro monster like that dragon!
Stardust dragon!
Was that the best you could do, yusei?
It's true you're a good duelist,
But good isn't quite enough for people like us, is it?
No, we crave more.
And if you battled beside me,
You just might find what you are looking for.
Sherry!
Stardust, nooooo!!!
[Gasp]

Just a dream.

Jackwhat? You want to duel me?!
Mm-hmm.
Wait. Why would ya wanna do that, yusei?
We're all on the same team!
Right--so why not take advantage of each other?
I need to find a new way of battling
That doesn't involve summoning synchro monsters.
No synchros? But why?
Because of the ghost.
Remember when I dueled him?
Sure, but you won!
[Gasp]
Oh, wait. You barely won.
That wisel's special ability...
It seals away synchros.
That's right-- it was pure luck
That majestic dragon was able to save me.
But if another duelist like the ghost appears,
I may not be lucky again.
Which is the reason why you and I need to duel--
So that I can prepare for that day.
I see.
Unh!
You're wrong, yusei. Synchros are fine.
But if you want a duel-- you're on.
All right.
Well, then let's do it!
This should be interesting.
Yusei counts on his synchros.
I wonder how he'll change his game plan.
I'm ready when you are!
Go!
Bothactivating field spell, speed world !
Duel computerduel mode engaged. Auto-pilot activated.
A turbo duel is about to commence.
All non-dueling vehicles must vacate the combat lane immediately.
Formulating cross-town duel course
And awaiting central grid authority's official authorization.
Authorization has been granted.
Then let's rev it up!
Jackright!
[Thinking] ghost was able to neutralize my synchro monsters
When I summoned them.
I wonder if there's a way to put their power to use
But without putting them in harm's way.
Let's do this!
First I summon shield wing in defense mode!
Then I'll place one card face down
And end my turn!
It'll take more than defense to b*at me!
Especially when it's a defense as pathetic as the one you just mounted!
My turn now!
And first, I'll summon twin-sword marauder!
He's got twin swords
Because when marauder att*cks a monster in defense mode,
He gets to wage an extra as*ault!
Now, go, twin-sword marauder! att*ck shield wing!
Shame on you, jack,
You should know that shield wing
Can withstand two att*cks per turn.
And you should know that since marauder's att*ck points
Are greater than shield wing's defense points,
You take the difference as damage!
Aargh!
That's one att*ck, and here comes number two--
Hope keeping your monster alive was worth it!
Hit him again, marauder!
Hang tough, shield wing!
Oh, he may hang tough,
But your life points sure won't!
[Groaning]
Wow! It'll be tough for yusei to come back from that!
Yes, it will, crow!
Especially since this card is now automatically summoned
Because the warrior-type monster on my field
Failed to destroy a monster during battle!
Come forth, sword master!
Computerthe card sword master is a level warrior-type monster
With , att*ck points and zero defense points.
Your shield wing may be able to withstand two att*cks,
But as they say,
The third time's the charm!
Actually, make that harm!
And once again, you take the points difference as damage!
Whoa! This is turning into a blow out!
There! I'm through.
Your move, yusei-- if you dare!
Oh, I dare! For my first move,
I summon junk synchron in defense mode!
A tuner monster?
And since junk synchron's been summoned,
I can now bring back from my grave to the field
A level or below monster in defense mode!
And the monster I'm summoning back is shield wing!
A level tuner monster and a level monster!
Usually, there'd be no doubt,
Yusei'd go ahead and synchro summon junk warrior.
But since he swore off synchro summoning,
It's anyone's guess!
And now, because I have two monsters out in defense mode,
I can summon forth this card from my hand!
Backup warrior!
Then I'll play a trap:
Synchro deception!
You see, when the monsters needed to synchro summon
Are gathered on the field,
By sending junk warrior from my extra deck to the graveyard,
Backup warrior's att*ck points increase
By half of junk warrior's att*ck points!
In other words, jack,
Backup warrior's strength now goes up by , points!
Now go, backup warrior,
Take out that sword master!
Rapid blast barrage!
[Grunting]
I end my turn.
Hmm. Interesting,
So instead of summoning a synchro monster,
You used its components to increase another monster's att*ck points.
Guess that's one way to keep them in the battle
But off the battlefront.
However, in my opinion,
It's quite a cowardly way, yusei!
My turn!
First I summon dark bug from my hand!
And I can assure you, he's going to bug you.
Because when he's successfully summoned,
I'm then allowed to summon one tuner monster from my grave!
Return to battle, sword master!
And now I'll tune my level sword master
With the level dark bug and level twin-sword marauder
To do what you should've never questioned doing, yusei.
I'm going to bring out the ultimate, the all powerful,
The red dragon archfiend in a synchro summon!
Now, then, here's where I prove
That you're wrong about synchros, yusei!
Go, red dragon archfiend, att*ck backup warrior!
Aah!
Yes!
Jack?
Computerduel mode disengaged.
This duel's over.
We both know how it's going to end--
There's no point going any further.
Do you understand now, yusei?
Synchro monsters may not be perfect,
But they're still the best w*apon we've got.
No one's saying they're not a great w*apon, jack!
It's just that the ghost was able to trap them!
The ghost is long gone!
And so am i!
Ok.
[Grunting]
I've seen enough.
[Thinking] someone's out there.
Leothe world racing grand prix gala!
This is cooool!
The music, the decorations, the duelists,
And best of all, the food!
Reporterthe stars are out tonight, ladies and gentlemen!
Some of the best duelists in the world are here with us.
That's it--i have to go get my autograph book!
Ooh! Or maybe they can just sign my face!
Crowi'll tell ya, things have been so intense lately.
This party should really help us take our mind off things,
Dontcha think?
Uh, sure.
Huh? Yusei? Hello? Yusei?
[Thinking] he's thinking about it, too--
The duel with sherry.
She got under yusei's skin then, and she's still under it now.
Something needs to be done.
Carlyanyway, it all started--
Hey guys! Over here!
Crowhey carly! What are you doing here?
What else?! I'm doing a story--
After all, this is, like, the premiere duel event of the season!
Ooh, check it out-- there's team unicorn!
Pointy hair and all!
Speaking of... Why isn't jack here?
You're right.
Jack lives for these kinds of events.
It's not like him to miss a big party like this,
That is, unless--
Jacklooking for me?
Unless he wants to be fashionably late.
Fashionable is right!
Nothing beats a tailored suit!
What? You had it tailored?!
Jack, how many times do I have to tell you?!
We barely have enough money to make our rent and eat!
What made you use a tailor?
Carly! She said I'd look extra handsome in a fitted suit!
Lazaryour attention, please!
Ooh! Good. It's starting!
I am lazar, and I thank you for joining us tonight
To celebrate the commencement of the first ever world racing grand prix!
As everyone knows,
New domino city has undergone quite a few changes as of late,
Not least of which was the opening of the daedalus bridge,
Which has effectively ended the strife that once existed
Between the city and the satellite.
Now duelists can come and go through both districts!
So what better way to celebrate this triumph
Than with a duel event like no other!
And I assure you, my friends,
The world racing grand prix will be exactly that!
Many surprises await, believe you me.
But for now, let me just say, welcome!
[Crowd cheering]
[Thinking] do I really need a new strategy?
Now, then,
Here's where I prove that you're wrong about synchros, yusei!
Go, red dragon archfiend, att*ck backup warrior!
Aah!
[Thinking] could jack be right?
Is it foolish for me to try and duel
Without using synchros to their full ability?
Huh!
Huh.
Greetings, one and all!
It is my great honor to announce a very special feature in this,
Our premier grand prix!
What you see before you is a new duel course
Currently under construction in new domino city!
But this is not just any duel course--
These roads can transform to create tracks
The likes of which you've never seen.
But in order to duel on it,
You'll need to prove your duel monsters mettle
And win your way to the finals!
Good luck, duelists!
I am pleased to report that the gala is a great success, my directors.
Well done, lazar.
But of course.
The fools don't have a clue what's really going on.
Heh heh heh!
And it's important that it stays that way.
After all, if these duelists find out what we're up to,
This will all be in vain.
Yes, if we're going to use their power,
They must believe that they're exerting it
Only to win this tournament.
Then, when their duel energy is ours and ready to be channeled
For the grand design,
It will be too late for them to stop me--
That is, too late for them to stop us.
[Indistinct chatter]
Yusei fudo? Huh?
It is you.
You're the duelist who won the fortune cup a while back,
Am I right?
I've heard about you-- good things.
Hmm.
Sorry, allow me to introduce ourselves--
We go by the handle team unicorn.
Team unicorn? I know you!
You guys have, like, every team dueling record that's out there!
You're the guys who made team dueling so popular!
And you are?
The name's crow.
I'm one of yusei's teammates.
Uh, excuse me.
Wait--yusei!
What gives? Where you going?
Uh, sorry, he's really not usually like this.
Pardon me for a second.
Hey, yusei!
Let go! Huh?
What is your problem, man?
Don't tell me it's still the ghost.
So it is the ghost.
Look, I'm not gonna pretend to understand
What you're going through.
But if you wanna talk about it, I'm here.
Sorry, crow. Not this time, ok?
Huh?
[Yelling]
[People screaming]
What? Who is this guy?!
Hope none of you upper crusts mind me crashin' your party!
That's dobocle-- he's a local tough guy.
I heard about your little contest, but guess what--
It ain't happenin' unless I gets a cut of the prize dough!
Arrest him!
[People yelling]
Doboclecomin' through!
Heh heh heh! I like this fellow's style.
Lemme clear those tables!
Ha ha ha!
Look out!
Aah!
Who wants some?! How 'bout you?!
Akiza!
[Yelling]
Come forth, black rose dragon!
Aah!
[Groans] how dare you?
Manall right men, surround him!
You're coming with us!!
You'll never catch me!
Quickly--take to your duel runners!
[Talking at once]
A psychic duelist?
I've had enough of these theatrics.
Time to put an end to this.
Stop in the name of the law!
You sector slimes just don't give up, do ya?
[Gasp]
Unregistered runner?
Could it be the ghost?!
Huh?
What?! Did you say the ghost is on the scene?
Huh? Huh?
Please! I'll surrender! But no more dueling!
I don't know how the ghost is back,
But I do know this much--
Jack atlas is going to take him down!
[Yelling]
Jackcome on. We've got to try and catch up with him!
Hey, outta the way-- we're in a hurry here!
Do we know you?
[Thinking] it's those same eyes--
The ones that have been watching me.
Huh?
Huh!
Forget him, yusei, let's go!
Go and do what?
Huh?
The duel will be over by the time you find the ghost.
And even if it's not, you won't be able to help.
Will you, yusei?
Huh!
You're not ready to face the ghost again.
You must first find what you're looking for.
Looking for?
That's right. The synchro solution!
Crowthe synchro solution? What's that all about?
And another thing, who exactly are you?
How about a name or something, buddy?
You can call me vizor.
So, vizor, how do we know we can trust you?
You can't. And where I come from,
Trust is something a person has to earn.
Guess you'll have to duel me
And find out for yourself.
Lead the way, vizor.
