01x12 - Formula for Success

[bunniefuu]

[ boy ] Come on, Jaden !

[ boy ] Hit a homer !

Jay !

Keep your eye on the ball !

That could be tough.

After all...

the ball's gonna be goin' over the rafters !

He'll score.

Then he'll score.

And then I'll score !

We'll have six-run lead !

[ Bastion ] Hold on !

Time out !

Sorry, I was deep into some attack point

quantum mechanics and lost track of time.

Can you throw ?

Sure.

Well, we need a fresh arm.

Pitcher change !

Get in there !

This is no written exam, Bastion.

I hope you know what you're doing !

Trust me, I've done all the calculations...

Now get ready for some heat, Jaden.

This one's coming in red hot.

[ growling ]

Strike !

Strike two !

You're out !

Nuts !

[ Umpire ] Ball.

Ball, take your base !

Time !

Jaden's what's going on ?

You got two outs

and now you've walked the last three batters !

Pretty slick, huh ?

Slick ?

Yeah, how else would I get a chance to pitch Bastion ?

What ?

So then you walked all those guys...

just so that you could get even with Bastion ?

Nah !

I don't wanna just get even, I wanna get ahead !

Hey, you hear that, buddy ?

You're going down !

[ Bastion ] Down the base paths, perhaps.

Now then, give me your best, Jaden.

I don't want to hear any excuses...

after I wallop it right out of the ballpark.

That is, if you can manage to get

the baseball over the plate, of course.

Game on !

Game over, soon !

♪

Now here's some bite for you !

[ growling ]

Ooh, the Paradox Brothers couldn't beat Jaden,

Chazz couldn't beat Jaden !

I need to find someone who can beat--

[ yelling ]

Uh, heads-up ?

You !

Well, of course !

Who else could cause such intense pain ?

Now that's keeping your eye on the ball.

Sorry.

It was...

[ Bastion ] My fault.

I was the one who hit the ball.

Bastion ?

Of course !

Here I was, struggling to find a new accomplice

and here it smacks me right in the face.

Well, the eye, actually,

but that's really beside the point.

Dr. Crowler, accept my apologies.

No, no, no, no !

I've been meaning to get my contacts refitted for ages,

now I have the perfect excuse.

And the perfect new protégé.

All right, you two, you've caused

enough trouble, now shoo !

Shoo-shoo !

[ shrieking ]

[ Jaden ] Fine.

But that was foul, Bastion !

Bye !

Never mind those two.

Slifer slackers.

It's time you started consorting with those

more your class, don't you think ?

It's time you start consorting...

with me.

Yo, foot rub, iced tea, now !

Get it yourself.

What was that ?

Doesn't he know ?

Guess not.

Know what ?

Chazz, where do you think you're sitting ?

My seat ?

Sorry, but that's not your seat anymore.

Now move !

What are you talking about ?

Of course this is my seat, it says so right here !

Sorry, Chazz, but you were moved way over there.

No way !

This is...

all wrong !

I don't belong over there with those losers !

Dr. Crowler, tell everyone this is a mistake !

Tell them I belong up here !

But you don't, and you haven't since you lost that

one duel to, oh, who was it now ?

Ah, yes, I remember, Jaden Yuki.

A Slifer !

Which is why, tomorrow, you will duel Bastion Misawa,

and if you lose to him, as well, you two will switch dorms !

You mean...

I'd become a...

Ra Yellow duelist ?

Yes, very good, now if only you could duel

as well as you listen !

[ laughing ]

[laughing continues ]

I won't be a Ra !

[ laughing ]

[ Jaden ] All right, all right, maybe it wasn't a foul, Bastion.

[ Syrus ] Jaden, over the center field fence usually isn't.

Look, I play like I duel !

With formulas.

See, I find that science,

statistics, geometry--

they play a role in everything that we do in life.

Wow.

I never looked at it that way.

So, do you have a formula for everything, Bastion ?

[ laughing ]

And here we are !

[ gasping ]

[ both ] And where's that ?

My lab, my workshop, my dorm room.

That area is for Traps.

That's for Spell Cards.

And that's, well, you get the idea.

Most of these I've memorized, and as you can see,

I'm running out of room, so...

[ both ] So what ?

So... mind helping ?

♪

Check it out !

I'm Michelangelo !

[ laughing ]

Get it ?

'Cause I'm painting on the ceiling !

Whoa... whoa !

[ yelling ]What the...

You do realize...

this means w*r, Jay.

Now look, Sy.

It was an accident !

That's enough !

Give me that paint.

[ laughing ]

Funny, is it ?

[ laughing ]

I don't think I've ever such a good time paintin' !

Hey, you're all right, Bastion !

Yeah, and so is Ra Yellow's food !

Oh...

You flatter us.

But I'm sure it's not that much better than Slifer's.

Trust me, the closest we get to lobster

is our dorm cat's breath !

Speaking of bottom-dwellers,

what were you talking to Crowler

about back at the game ?

Actually, he wants me to test to be an Obelisk.

Are you serious ?

Is that why you were cleaning up your room ?

'Cause you're switchin' dorms ?

Well, you deserve it, congrats, Bastion !

Again, you flatter me...

You're good, man.

Come on.You're awesome.

I saw you duel during the entrance exams.

You kicked that duel proctor's butt.

You'll totally pass Crowler's test and be an Obelisk Blue !

[ both ] And we can say we knew you when !

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

Now if you'll excuse me...

[span][ Chosaku ] [span] Got it, Chazz ?[/span][/span]

[ Chazz ] Yeah...

[span]I can't hear you.[/span]

I said, yes, I understand.

[span]Well, you [span] had better.[/span][/span]

[span]The Princeton brothers [span] have a plan.[/span][/span]

[span]Your brother [span] and I are following[/span][/span]

[span]through with our [span] ends of it.[/span][/span]

[span]And you had better [span] be following[/span][/span]

[span]through with [span] yours, Chazz.[/span][/span]

Come one, just think of it, little bro.

The worlds of politics...

finance...

and Duel Monsters !

If we control them all,

then we will control the entire world !

So be the best.

The future of the Princeton family depends on it.

It depends on you !

[ Chazz ] Be the best ?

How can I be the best ?

With lucky punks like these out there ?

What is this ?

Bastion's heading off

to the Slifer dorm for the night ?

Hmm...

Then his dorm room'll be all empty...

[ snoring ]

Hey, Sy, what's the Ra doing here ?

He painted his room today, so we let him crash here.

But, Syrus, he's a Ra Yellow.

What if he wakes up

and wants to duel one of us,

or make fun of one of us,

how do you know we can trust him ?

Relax, Chumley, he's cool.

I mean, he let us eat at the Ra meal hall.

Oh.

He can have my bed if he wants.

♪

Jaden !

Jaden, wake up !

What is it, Ms. Dorothy ?

I was at the docks unloading some goods near

the shore, then, I saw them...

Cards tossed everywhere !

Tossed ?

Careful now, boys !

[ Jaden ] That's Ring Of Destruction !

[ Syrus ] And Vorse Raider !

Bastion, these are all of your cards !

It's my own fault.

This deck was in the desk I moved to

the hallway yesterday when we were painting.

Who would do something like this ?

Someone who doesn't want you to advance

to Obelisk Blue, that's who.

I mean, this was your deck and it's totally ruined !

Ah man, what in the world are you gonna do now, Bastion ?

Your promotion exam is in less than an hour !

[ Crowler ] Bastion, you've made it !

Oh, and I see you've brought some friends.

I hope you duel better than the company you keep.

Wait a sec.

Chazz is your test opponent ?

Bastion.

Then he must've been the one that tossed your cards !

Pardon ?

I don't know what he's talking about,

Dr. Crowler, I didn't do a thing.

[ Alexis ] Oh, is that so ?

Zane ?

Alexis ?

I saw you, Chazz.

This morning by the water.

You dumped them in and ran off.

[ all gasping ]

I normally wouldn't snitch, but you

don't mess with someone's deck.

Yeah, no joke !

That's low for even you !

Aw, come on...

Who's to say I wasn't throwing away my own cards ?

I guess Bastion and I just have similar decks, that's all.

Liar !

No one calls me a liar,

and no one calls me a thief !

Fine, then you're not.

Let's just have our duel, shall we ?

But how ?

A good duelist always has a spare deck.

Or a few of them.

After all, you saw all of my different formulas.

Well, they were for all of my different dueling decks !

And each one of them is as powerful as the next !

Yeah, well, you can go ahead

and have your six stinking decks !

'Cause all I need is this one !

Now let's start this !

I thought that you would never ask, Chazz.

Duel Disk on !

You're just a problem to be solved, Chazz.

A theorem to be cracked.

You're finished !

So bring it on !

[ both ] Duel !

Hope you're ready, 'cause here comes the hurt !

I summon Chthonian Soldier !

Then, a card facedown and that'll do for now.

Oh, will it now ?

Sounds like Bastion's got something up his sleeve.

He works quickly.

I summon Hydrogeddon in attack mode !

Rise, Hydrogeddon !

[ growling ]

Now, attack Chthonian Soldier...

with Hydro Gust !

Destroy him !

Thanks, you just activated my

Chthonian Soldier's special ability !

It causes you to take the same amount

of damage to your life points that I did !

Not bad.

Bastion sure walked right into that one.

I activate a special ability also.

You see, Chazz, when Hydrogeddon successfully

destroys a monster in battle,

I'm allowed to immediately summon

another Hydrogeddon from my deck !

So rise !

Hydrogeddon !

[ growling ]

And, my battle phase still continues.

Which means I can now wage a direct

attack against you, Chazz !

So go, Hydrogeddon !

Hydro Gust !

[ yelling ]

You'll pay for that !

I activate my trap card Call Of The Haunted.

With it, I can summon one monster from my graveyard !

And the monster I summon is...

That's right !

Chthonian Soldier !

Next I'll activate the spell card Inferno Reckless Summon.

It allows us both to summon in attack mode

any monsters from our deck hand and graveyard

that are the same as the monsters

we already have on the field.

[ Alexis ] It makes no sense.

It doesn't matter how many of those Chazz brings out,

they still won't have enough attack points

to beat those Hydrogeddons.

Not by themselves, they won't.

I activate the equip spell card Chthonian Alliance !

The monster equipped with this card gains attack

points for every monster that has the same name as him.

That brings his attack point total to...

Well, you're the math nerd.

You can figure it out !

Attack, Chthonian Soldier !

Oh no !

Aw, Bastion's life points have gone

down by more than half !

He's losing the duel !

Bravo !

Good show !

But it will be short-lived !

Rise Oxygeddon !

Now attack the , attack points

Chthonian Soldier with Vapor Stream !

Forget ?

When my Soldier's destroyed, you take

the same damage as me !

Some whiz kid you are !

My turn's not through.

Next, my Hydrogeddon att*cks another of your Soldiers !

That damage is still all going back to you, loser !

[ Syrus ] Aw man, why does Bastion keep attacking ?

He's only hurting himself.

Nah, he's fine !

Bastion's playing smart.

The Chthonian Soldier with the equip

magic card has , attack points.

Bastion would have to summon an incredibly

powerful monster to destroy him.

Unless, however...

[ Syrus ] Wait, I see !

Unless he takes out the other Chthonians

and lowers the big one's attack points !

Right, Sy, so if Bastion's gonna beat that thing,

he's gotta give up some life points.

Last, I'll place a facedown card !

And that will do for now.

Will it ?

I wouldn't be so sure, Whiz-Kid.

I'm sacrificing Chthonian Soldier and all the cards

in my hand in order to summon Infernal Incinerator !

Didn't see that coming, did you ?

[ laughing ]

Infernal Incinerator ?

[ laughing ]

Better break out your calculator

'cause if you can't find a formula to beat this guy

this turn, you're toast !

Face it, Bastion !

You don't stand a chance against

the Infernal Incinerator !

Especially since his attack points increase by

for every monster you have out on the field !

That thing has , attack points ?

That means no matter which monster receives

the attack, Bastion's finished !

Now, Infernal Incinerator attack with Firestorm Blast !

Bastion !

I activate my trap !

Amorphous barrier !

When I have three or more monsters

on my side of the field,

this trap negates my opponent's attack

and ends the battle.

But nice try, Chazz.

Aw, so what ?

One turn.

That's all it buys you, then you'll be all mine !

I'm afraid there won't be a next turn.

What ?

You heard me.

And I activate the spell card Bonding HO !

I sacrifice two Hydrogeddons

and one Oxygeddon and summon Water Dragon !

[ growling ]

And since the number of monsters

on my side of the field decreased,

your Infernal Incinerator's attack points decrease.

Doesn't matter, my monster's attack points

are still higher than yours.

Better double-check your work.

Because I've already done all the math.

All the math, you mean that...

Bastion's had all this planned

out since the very start ?

[ yelling ]

No, his attack points !

Indeed, that's Water Dragon's special ability !

You see, when he's out on the field,

the attack points of Fire Attribute

and Pyro-Type monsters automatically become zero.

Now, Water Dragon, attack !

Tidal Blast !

A well-played duel, Chazz, but not well enough.

Pure luck !

You drew a lucky card and stumbled into the win.

That's all !

Perhaps.

But luck favors the prepared.

And I was prepared to beat you

with a half dozen other cards, as well.

Sorry.

You would have lost the duel one way or another.

But deny it if you want.

Just like you denied

throwing my deck into the ocean.

Yeah ?

Prove it.

Well, if you insist.

Here, a card I fished out.

With a formula I wrote on it.

I suppose you could've written it,

but then the math would've probably be wrong,

and it's not.

Chazz, you stole, you lied, you cheated, you lost.

You deserve to be demoted.

This can't be...

[ Crowler ] Bastion Misawa !

Congratulations and welcome to Obelisk Blue !

No.

I must decline that invitation.

What ?

But what for ?

When I first arrived at the Academy

I decided I would only enter Obelisk Blue

when I became the number-one student

in the freshman class.

Jaden, of all the new freshman...

I think that student is you.

Hey, thanks !

Does that mean you wanna settle this right here ?

I mean, seeing you guys duel

really made me want to get my game on !

Sorry, but not now.

Why not ?

Because I have a lot of work

to do before I duel you.

Many formulas to write, theorems to solve,

equations to balance.

You're a good duelist, Jaden, and I plan to be ready.

Smart move !

He didn't have to prepare for me.

He won with just one day's notice !

Don't worry, Jaden, soon my dorm room walls

will be filled with new strategies

and we will have our duel.

Just be prepared for it to turn out

like that ball game.

You know, the one where I struck you out ?

You just keep dreamin', Bastion !

Baseball's a pastime, but dueling's my life !

Until then, pal !

All right...

Until then it is !
