Good morning and welcome, my students.

I'm chancellor sheppard, the headmaster here,

And you are the best and brightest young duelists in the world.

Now please get yourselves settled in at your assigned dorms.

I think you'll find them quite comfortable--

Depending upon how you ranked of course.

Well, I don't know about you, sy,

But it looks like I'm in the slifer red dorm.

That's cool.

Same with me.

Hey, you in red, too?

Well now, let's see here,

Yellow sleeves, yellow buttons.

I don't think so.

Oh, I get it.

So that's why sy and I are in red.

Please don't tell me that you've just figured that out now.

So what?

Ever think I'm color blind?

Well, no, actually, I didn't.

Are you color blind?

No, but I could've been.

See you round the dorms.

I doubt that.

Your dorm's over there.

This isn't a dorm.

It's like an outhouse with a deck.

You kiddin' me?

Check out the view.

This place is great.

All right, this one here's our room, sy.

It's kinda small, huh?

Hey, you're a small guy.

Anyway, I like it.

This'll make a sweet pad for our first year here.

Yeah, kinda weird, meeting at the entrance exams, and now roommates?

Think we were somehow connected to each other in some ancient life, jaden?

You know, like you were an egyptian pharaoh and I was the guardian seto?

No offense, but that's just lame.

Well, it could be true.

Forget it.

They broke the molds when they made the two of us.

Yeah, for different reasons.

Sy, we're gonna have to work on that confidence.

But first, let's work on this pad.

Hey, those were closed for a reason!

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, we didn't see you up there.

Well, can you see me now?

Would you stop the screaming?

Who are you and what you doing in my room?

Oh, sorry.

My name's jaden yuki.

And I'm syrus.

We're your new roommates.

You're new all right,

So lemme tell you how things work here.

What things?

Like when parent's weekend is gonna be?

Duh, like how the whole color thing works?

That's more important than anything.

Both: yeah?

Ya got different kinds of students here:

Obelisk blue students,

Ra yellow students,

And slifer red students.

Now, the blues are the highest-ranked students.

Some kids are blue cuz a' grades,

Others through connections.

The yellows are second highest,

Mostly younger students with lotsa potential.

Then, there're us, the red wonders.

The wonders.

That's a cool name.

As in, I wonder how flunkies like us ever got this far, maybe.

Yeah, sorry, but we're bottom of the barrel here.

Duelin' duds.

Oh, I'm chumley, by the way.

Come on.

Don't tell me you're still depressed.

But chumley said we reds were the worst.

Forget that.

I mean, red's a sweet color.

Think about it.

Where do ya think the term "red hot" comes from?

From red, baby.

Besides, the year hasn't even started yet,

So how can we be the worst?

Yeah, you're right, jaden.

Red is for red hot--

Scorching, dangerous, hot.

I'm like a furnace,

Or a really big bottle of spicy salsa dip, right?

Wait, I'm not a dip.

Wait up.

There's some kind of duel action goin' on in there.

How do you know?

I just know.

It's over this way, I'm sure of it.

How can you be sure of it?

Do you have some kind of sixth sense for dueling or something?

It's in the air, syrus.

Can't ya just smell it?

Maybe if today's pollen count was lower.

Are you sure we should be in here?

Too cool.

Wow.

This is the sweetest dueling arena I've ever seen.

Yeah, no kidding.

It looks completely state of the art.

I bet it would be amazing to duel here.

Well, let's find out.

Do you think we're allowed?

Sure we're allowed.

We're students here

And this is our campus, right?

Boy: wrong.

This is the blue obelisk's campus.

And you slifer red rejects

Aren't welcome here, ya got that?

Check out the crest.

This arena's our turf.

Sorry.

We were just looking around,

But we'll leave now, right, jaden?

Nah, we don't have to leave.

Not so long as one of you guys agrees to duel me.

I'll be a guest duelist.

Hey, you're that kid.

Chazz, that applicant who b*at dr. Crowler is here.

Check it out.

Oh, hey.

What's up?

My name's jaden.

And he's... Chuzz, was it?

His name's chazz princeton,

And he was the number one duelist

Back at duel prep school,

So you make sure and pay the proper respects, got it?

Yeah, he's gonna be the future king of games--

The best duelist in the world.

Impossible.

Say what?

You see, it's impossible for him to be the future king of games,

Because that's exactly what I'm gonna be.

A slifer slacker as king of games?

That'll be the day.

Can it, you two.

Maybe the new kid's right.

Whadaya mean there, chazz?

He did b*at crowler, after all.

And that legendary rare monster of his,

I suppose it takes some skill to pull that off.

Got that right.

Or was it luck?

I say that we find out right now.

Bring it.

This sure is a motley crew.

Whoa.

Who is that?

Hey, alexis.

Have ya come to watch me mop the floor

With my new little friend jaden here?

It'll be a short duel, but an entertaining one for sure.

I'm here to remind you

About the obelisk welcome dinner.

You're late.

Oh, yeah.

Come on, guys.

Sorry if chazz rubbed you the wrong way.

All of us obelisks aren't like that.

He's just a jerk, especially with slifers.

Aw, it's no big deal.

Those types don't really bother me at all.

Besides, I'd have beaten him in one turn.

We're gonna have to work on that overconfidence.

Ok, two turns.

Maybe two and a half.

What?

The slifer welcome dinner's about to start, too.

Right.

We better go, sy.

Hey, wait up.

Oh, hey.

What was your name again?

Alexis rhodes.

And yours?

The name's jaden.

All right, see ya around.

Sy: aren't you gonna introduce me?

Jaden.

Man: your cheese, sir.

[Indistinct chatter]

Man: cheers to ra.

Second man: here, here.

Boy: this is our fancy welcome dinner?

Second boy: forget that.

Check out our headmaster.

It's a cat.

I'm dropping.

Hello, children.

I'm professor banner.

Now before we eat, I'd like you each to tell us something about your--

This stuff's good.

We're supposed to say something about ourselves.

Ok, how bout this?

I'm starvin'.

He's walking over here, jaden.

I mean it, he's right--

Well, since some of us don't feel like waiting, let's just eat.

I'm stuffed.

I'll tell ya, professor banner sure can cook.

Wow.

Yeah, and he seems like a pretty nice guy, as well.

With ya there.

He's good people.

Thanks.

Hey, chumley, want some tea?

Chumley: did I say I was thirsty?

Hey, he just asked if you wanted some tea.

Ya don't have to snap at him.

That's ok, jaden, I'm used to it.

Tea makes you wet the bed.

Not that I do... Or ever did--

I mean, whatever.

I'm trying to sleep.

[Beeping]

Hey, slifer slacker,

Don't think you're off the hook.

Tonight at midnight, it's on.

Oh, and why don't we make it interesting?

Whoever wins gets the other guy's best card.

Cool.

Guess I'll get to duel at that arena after all.

If that's chazz you're dueling, all you got is trouble.

Sy: I'm not so sure this is a good idea, jaden.

Good or bad, when someone challenges you to a duel,

Ya gotta step up.

There's no choice.

Well, well, well.

He shows.

You better believe it.

There was no way I was gonna miss this.

Wait up.

Chazz :time to find out if you b*ating dr. Crowler was a fluke or a fact.

Yeah, well, we're gonna find out something else, too,

Like which one of the two of us

Is really gonna become the next king of games.

Yeah, yeah.

Just make sure you have your best card ready to hand over when you lose.

You, too.

Now, game on.

Both: duel!

All right, slacker.

For my first move, I'll summon reborn zombie in defense mode.

And I'll also place one card face down.

I guess that's one way to start a duel,

But I'm gonna go a little bigger.

Here goes.

Hey, good to see ya, winged kuriboh.

Maybe I'll use you later.

But now I'll play polymerization,

Fusin' elemental heroes avian and burstinatrix...

And bringin' out elemental hero flame wingman

In att*ck mode.

I told ya I'd start big, didn't i?

I was hoping you would.

Why's that?

Because that card I just played face down was a trap, slacker,

That you've set off.

Chthonian polymer, do your stuff.

What's chthonian polymer's stuff?

Alexis: I had a feeling I'd find you guys here.

Alexis?

Chthonian polymer's a nasty trap.

It allows you to take control

Of an opponent's fusion monster

By sacrificing one of your own creatures.

Oh, no.

Jaden just summoned a fusion monster.

I sacrifice reborn zombie to gain control of your wingman.

Aw, my monster.

How did chazz know to play that?

You're so predictable, jaden.

You wouldn't stop talking about that wingman at the exam,

So I'd knew you'd use him soon.

Still, since that wingman was a special summon,

That means I'm allowed to summon another monster during my turn.

Jaden, voice-over: not that anything in my hand

Is a match for the wingman.

Chazz, voice-over: go on, you slifer slacker.

Play another monster.

After all, I haven't forgotten

The flame wingman's super power.

All right, I summon elemental hero clayman in defense mode.

There, all set.

Yeah, set up to get knocked down.

Rise, chthonian soldier.

And now, flame wingman,

att*ck with sky-dive scorcher.

And now thanks to wingman's super power,

Your life points take damage equal to your destroyed monster's att*ck points.

But don't think for one second

That I'm done yet, slacker.

Chthonian soldier, att*ck--

Windstorm slash!

Are you starting to know your place here at the academy yet?

Maybe you were somebody back at home,

But here in the big leagues,

You're nothing but a pathetic little amateur,

Slifer slime.

I'll end my turn with a facedown card.

Go ahead, slacker.

[Sobbing]

Oh, what wong, baby?

Are you crying?

[Laughing]

This is too fun.

What?

Just what I came for.

Man, I mean, the trash talking,

The action, it's all so great.

What the...

I summon elemental hero sparkman.

All right, sparkman, now.

att*ck with static shockwave.

Still think it's great, slacker?

Because when chthonian soldier is destroyed,

You receive the same amount of damage

To your life points as I do.

Difference is-- you hardly have any to spare.

It's just a matter of time, slacker.

Your best card's about to be all mine.

This isn't over yet.

I throw down a face down.

Play what you like.

My next att*ck will finish off your life points,

And that att*ck's coming right now.

Go, flame wingman!

Not so fast.

That was a trap card I just threw.

A trap?

It's mirror gate.

Then jaden's still in this duel after all.

Mirror gate makes two monsters in a battle

Switch which side they're on,

So now that wingman is back with jaden.

Yeah!

Go, wingman.

Nooo!

And just like you told me a while ago,

Don't forget my wingman's super power.

You take damage equal to the att*ck points of your destroyed monster.

All right.

Nice moves, jaden.

More like lucky moves if ya ask me, you slifer school scum.

All right, I activate chthonian blast.

Now, since you destroyed one of my monsters, I can destroy one of yours,

And you take damage equal to half of its att*ck points.

Flame wingman.

Now I activate the trap card call of the haunted.

It lets me select one monster card from my graveyard

And summon it back to the field in att*ck mode.

Rise, infernal warrior!

But he won't be staying on the field for long,

Because I'm going to sacrifice him to summon mefist the infernal general.

Not bad.

Not bad?

You're something else, slacker, you know that?

Acting all confident.

But your lousy monsters won't get you out of this jam.

I know he's wrong, kuriboh.

Because chazz doesn't know that my monsters and i,

We have a bond.

Jaden, voice-over: speakin' of...

Uh, guys?

We got company-- campus security.

If they find us all in here,

We'll get seriously busted.

Sy: what?

Why?

I mean, we're all students here.

The rules say no off-hour arena duels.

Chazz knows that.

But let me guess-- he didn't tell you.

Come on, let's go.

Well, well, slacker,

Looks like you lucked out this time.

What are you talkin' about?

The match isn't over.

Yeah, it is.

I've seen what I came here to see.

You're a sorry duelist.

You b*ating dr. Crowler was just a fluke.

Jaden, we gotta get out of here.

Yeah, he's right.

Come on, let's go.

This stinks.

I had this guy on the ropes.

Come on!

You certainly are stubborn, jaden.

Only about my dueling.

Thanks for showing us the back way out.

Sure.

I'm sorry that you didn't get to finish your match with chazz.

It's ok.

I know just how it would've ended anyway.

Really?

No offense, but from my point of view,

It looked like it could've gone either way between you and chazz

When you guys stopped.

No way.

Not after I drew this.

With monster reborn, I summon flame wingman from the graveyard.

att*ck-- sky-dive scorcher!

See ya.

Hey, wait up.
