01x11 - Tag Team Trial (Part 2 of 2)

[bunniefuu]

Chumley, voice-over: last time on "yu-gi-oh! Gx"...

Without further ado,

Allow me to introduce our guest tag team duo,

The paradox brothers!

Salutations, you fools.

Hope you're ready to duel.

I'm telling you, we'll beat these guys, sy.

Prepare yourselves.

I sacrifice suijin, kazejin, and sanga of the thunder

So that I can now summon the ultimate monster--

Gate guardian.

Go, destroy steam gyroid!

Tidal surge attack!

You life points are falling.

Your game play's appalling.

Both: there's nothing to be done

Except give up and start bawling.

Man, on p.a.: Attention, jaden yuki,

It is your turn.

You must make a move or you will be disqualified.

Well, it's two monsters to none.

That's a simple calculation to figure.

They'll be knackered.

Nice, bastion.

Now you're dogging them in words

I don't even understand.

Come on, we have to believe

That jaden has a strategy.

Oh, I'm certain that he does.

It's syrus I'm concerned about.

He's walked into every trap, spell, and attack

The paradox brothers have played.

He's been horrible.

Alexis: you know, on second thought,

I liked it better when I couldn't understand what you were saying.

Oh, sorry.

Come on.

Chumley, voice-over: oh, please, let them win.

Let them win.

I'll give up grilled cheeses for a week.

I'll just fry them instead.

Go, team.

Chazz, voice-over: finally, those slifer slackers

Are getting the beat down they deserve.

I can't wait 'til they lose

And are kicked out of duel academy--

Especially jaden.

Chazz, you all right?

Chazz, voice-over: that slime.

Thinking he was going to be the next king of games?

No way.

That's my destiny.

Especially since he's about to be expelled.

Ha ha ha! I'm a genius.

A pure genius.

First I lure them deep inside the abandoned dorm.

Then I arrange this tag duel as punishment.

Then I hire the world's best tag duelists

To insure they lose and get expelled.

Ha ha ha!

So, crowler.

Enjoying the boys' punishment a little too much, are we?

Oh, my, no-- you misinterpret.

I'm just laughing because I'm happy the duel's nearly done.

After all, our poor students look oh, so weary.

I'm thrilled their suffering is nearly through.

Oh, it doesn't look like they're suffering so much to me.

In fact, jaden looks like he's just getting his second wind.

Well, well.

The slifer red forges ahead when a smart duelist...

Would have fled.

Oh, man.

I'm starting to wish the academy had made us slifers orange.

Then we wouldn't have to put up with so many of these awful rhymes.

Huh?

I know. I don't think they got it, either.

Forget about our rhyming.

Just focus more on your card play.

For with the partner you have...

To win, you have a long way.

Don't you listen to them, sy. Ok?

But they're right.

They're not right, sy.

I know, 'cause you're going to be the one to take that thing down.

So, let's go.

First...

I summon elemental hero sparkman in attack mode.

And then next...

I'm gonna equip him with this.

Spark blaster.

Now with each blast fired...

I can change the battle mode of one of your monsters.

And I'll start with...

Gate guardian.

Take a knee.

You're goin' in defense mode.

Well, that was certainly an odd choice.

Unless jaden has something planned,

I'm afraid he's wasted his move.

You must be a fool.

When gate guardian's on defense he never tires.

You situation's just as dire.

And though I hate to feed the fire,

The defense wall we played you have yet to retire.

Jaden: great. Thanks.

I'm just gonna throwdown a facedown now and end my turn.

Fine then. My draw.

I'll just place one card facedown...

No more, no less.

Brother, you do the rest.

Excellent decision. I think it's for the best.

For I'm quite sure that next turn,

I'll win us this contest.

Aw, man...

Jaden? You heard them,

Next turn they're going to take us out.

There's no point to me even drawing.

I should just give up,

Maybe they'll at least let you have a rematch then.

Syrus. Listen to me.

Huh?

One draw.

That's all it takes to turn the tide of an entire duel.

You remember last time you had one draw, right?

You'll never get outta this.

Yeah, I give.

Let's have a rematch.

But first, let's see what I woulda drawn...

And it's--whoa, this changes everything.

Yeah, well, it doesn't change the fact

That you already gave up the match though, right?

Ha ha ha!

Ya hear what I'm sayin', syrus?

There's no such thing as a last draw,

'Cause with the right card...

You can always get another draw.

But--

No but's about it. Make your move, pal.

I know you can do it, sy.

It's all up to you.

[Thinking] I know, jaden...

That's what I'm afraid of.

Aw, man.

Jaden said my one draw could keep us from losing this duel.

But the only way we won't lose

Is if I beat that gate guardian.

[Gasp] hmm.

Of course...

Whoa.

That card is sweet.

With the right combo,

It can beat anything.

So can I have it?

Oh, come on....

No way! You always do this!

No, I don't.

Remember my charubin?

It was already bent. I needed a coaster.

Or my great mammoth of goldfine?

Pleeeeeeeeeease.

[Thinking] that's it.

That one card is the only chance we have.

But if I don't draw it, we're done.

Jaden and me...

All our hopes of becoming the best...

Everything we've ever dreamed about--

Our fun, our friendship, our future...

It'll all be over.

All right. Here it goes.

Jaden.

Sy? You got it?

Well then show 'em the drill.

All right.

I summon drilloid in attack mode.

And guess what.

When drilloid fights a monster in defense mode,

It's automatically destroyed.

Ugh!

Aw, yeah.

So, open wide.

Defense wall.

Heh heh heh. Those two musta forgot

That defense wall automatically intercepts any attack.

A nice try.

But not nice enough.

Gate guardian still stands.

Despite your best stuff.

But that wasn't his best stuff.

Right, sy?

What?

Yep, but now that your defense wall's rubble...

You'll get it.

Well, a certain monster will, anyway.

Ohh...

I activate the spell card, shield crush.

That's right.

And just like the name says,

It destroys any monster that's trying to hide in defense mode.

Just like...

That gate guardian.

No. Gate guardian is cooked.

I can hardly look.

Nice goin', sy!

The bigger they brawl the harder they fall.

[Audience cheering]

Fried cheese, here I come.

No, this is supposed to be punishment.

And this crowd's treating them like heroes.

Chancellor sheppard,

Tell me you're watching this.

Yes, well done, crowler.

This match you've set up is promoting teamwork and dueling fortitude.

Fine job.

Did you see that? Did you?

Tell me you saw that.

Bastion, I'm next to you

Watching my friends in the duel of their lives.

Whaddya think I'm looking at?

Ah.

But you know what amazes me even more

Than them taking down that gate guardian?

The teamwork that they used to do it with.

That's what it's going to take to win this.

Yes. So let's hope they can keep it up.

Ok. Now I'll play one card down and end my turn.

Thanks for the pep talk.

Hey, thank you for the sweet move.

Sure.

Mind if we join in on all the praise, you two?

Because for destroying that monster,

We should really...

Thank you. Thank you.

They say what doesn't destroy you makes you stronger.

And it's true. After all, we haven't been destroyed,

And we're about to become more powerful than ever.

Dark element.

This spell card can activate whenever gate guardian

Is in the graveyard.

Now by paying half our life points...

We can summon a monster that can't be beat in battle.

Dark guardian.dark guardian.

Invincible in battle and has those attack points?

This is bad.

Now, guardian attack drilloid with

Ax slash bash.

That's it. If this connects, jaden and syrus will lose.

Jaden...

Heh heh.

Farewell.

Not yet.

I play my facedown.

Hero barrier.

Sorry, fellas.

But this let's me stop one of your att*cks

So long as I have an elemental hero out.

And as you can see, sparkman is standin' tall.

An impressive trap card.

I never quite thought they'd be so hard.

I know, we bombard and bombard.

Oh, well, at least our precious dark guardian

Has kept up his guard.

Quite right, brother.

He won't be blasted to shards...

He'll finish them off next turn.

And this duel will be ours.

[Thinking] just when I step up my game,

They step up theirs even more.

Ha ha ha!

Here it comes, the moment I've been waiting for.

The moment these two lose and get expelled.

Chin up, sy.

This match isn't over yet.

But, jay...

But nothin', pal. Stand up.

'Cause you'll want a good view for what I'm about to pull.

[Grunting]

It looks like the boy still wants to proceed.

Really, I thought surely for mercy he would plead.

No, he would need smarts to know to concede.

Can it, you two. It's my turn.

And I activate the spell card pot of greed.

This lets me draw two cards.

And next I'll play...

Fusion gate.

With this card, I don't need polymerization.

I can summon all the fusion monsters I want.

And I'm gonna start by fusin'

Elemental hero avian bubbleman.

And why don't we throw sparkman in the mix as well.

All to create-- wait for it--

Yeah! And there he is.

The elemental hero tempest.

Fine creature, but it still can't beat their guardian.

Bastion, just whose side are you on?

I hope you know what you're doing, jaden.

An impressive move, but it's useless boy.

Have you forgetten about dark guardian?

He's still deployed...

And since in battle, he can't be destroyed,

Their beast is null and void.

Void this.

Skyscraper...

Ever hear that you should never play in a construction zone?

Well it's true 'cause now,

My elemental hero gets an extra attack points

Because it's weaker than dark guardian.

What the-- what the--

Now, hero tempest.

Attack with powerhouse plummet.

Didn't I warn you? In battle he can't be beat.

Your elemental hero tempest has been wasted,

So just accept...

Your defeat.

Sy, can ya' spare a card?

Sure. I use tempest's special ability.

Sorry, you guys.

But so long as I banish one of our cards to the graveyard,

Tempest isn't destroyed.

Nice work wasting your attack then, slacker.

I don't get it.

Was he hoping for a tie?

Clever.

Just so long as syrus knows what to do next.

Jaden?

Hey, it's cool. Trust me.

Yeah.

Sy, this will all work out

If you play the right card come your turn.

If he has a turn. Ha!

I play the trap card, one on one fight.

Though I'm sure you'd prefer to run and hide,

This card forces both our strongest monsters to battle.

So I hope that your elemental hero tempest is up for a rematch.

But why?

It'll be a tie again.

What's the point of attacking?

I have my reasons.

Wha--

And they're sneaky ones.

For tempest to keep tying dark guardian,

Jaden will have to keep sacrificing cards.

And whatever edge they give him.

Well, I hate to do it, but I have no choice...

Guess I gotta get rid of skyscraper.

So, you've saved your monster...

But that doesn't mean you've saved your life points.

That's all for me.

And next turn I give you my guarantee.

This duel will be ours, just wait and see.

All right, sy, remember what I said...

Oh, right...

[Thinking] that this would all work out

If I played the right card...

[Gasp]

Got it, sy?

I think...

[Thinking] play.

That goes back to what my brother was saying.

About the difference between knowing how to use a card

And knowing how to play it.

But do I know the difference?

Hey, zane?

What's the difference between knowing how to use a card

And knowing how to play it?

Aren't they the same?

That's something that can never be taught,

Only learned.

It takes a moment of pure clarity

Where you see dueling on a different level.

A higher level.

All the angles. All the moves.

You won't think. You'll just act.

All right. Then enough thinking.

It's time for me to act.

No more thinking. Time for action.

Here we go. My draw.

Ok, first off.

I sacrifice drilloid to summon u.f.o.-Roid.

And also, I activate the spell card power bond.

Hmm.

It's a fusion card.

And I have just the two monsters to fuse.

Jaden, do you mind?

Hey, what's mine is yours, sy.

Then I merge u.f.o.-Roid and tempest

To create u.f.o.-Roid fighter.

And it gets better.

His attack points are the sum total

Of each individual monster's attack points.

It matters not.

So, stop your ceaseless prattle.

You know dark guardian can't be destroyed in battle.

Yeah, that's true...

But it doesn't really matter.

'Cause power bond has a special effect

That doubles my roid fighter's attack points.

To make ,?to make ,?

Sure, dark guardian will survive the attack.

But it'll be a different story for your life points.

Now. Let's go. Roid fighter! Attack!

Cosmic flux blast.

Way to go!

Well, well, they won.

I'm getting more impressed every day.

I'm just happy that jaden gets to stay here.

Jaden and syrus, you mean.

Well, yes, syrus, too, of course.

I just said jaden because, i, uh...

Moving on.

Heh. I'm outta here.

Wait. We're coming.

It can't be. How'd they win?

Not fair!

How?

Because of your superb teaching, of course.

Oh, wait, they're in my dorm.

That furball just licked me.

Does he have rabies? Show me his papers.

Call the pound!

Let it out, syrus.

I know you cry when you're happy.

No way. Not the new syrus.

[Crying]

Aw, there are something's that'll never change.

Well, one thing that won't be changing

Is your enrollment at the academy.

You're here to stay.

Yeah!

Oh, and you guys?

Let me just say it was a great honor.

And if ya ever want a rematch,

Just holler.

Well said, jaden.

And I'm sure it'll be even better written.

That's right, I'd like a page report.

I want to read about all what you learned by dueling the brothers.

And how it helped you realize that trespassing

In the abandoned dorm was wrong.

Aw! Talk about a bummer.

How 'bout pages, then? And single-spaced too.

I'll make sure they get it done, chancellor.

How can I write pages?

I've never even read that much.

[Thinking] I wanna think I impressed you, zane,

That I dueled at that higher level,

That I showed you I can play a card, not just use it.

But I know I still have a lot to learn.

And a lot to live up to.

Whole pages.

That's practically a book.

Jaden!

My life is so over.

I don't even know how to spell paradox brothers.

And do all their parts have to rhyme?

Aw, this is gonna take forever.

Who cares.

'Least you're here to stay.

[Laughter]

Ha ha ha!
