Mizar's been puttin' us down ever since he showed up here.

He says if we fail again, we're through.

What should we do, Alito?

The answer is simple.

We have to succeed.

So I'm going to challenge Astral and Yuma Tsukumo!

Challenge them face-to-face?

You know what'll happen to you if you lose, don't you?

Yeah, I know!

But I don't care, Girag!

As a matter of fact, I welcome the danger!

I mean it!

I'm willing to put my own future on the line

to prove I can outduel both of them!

I won't let you do this.

(scoffing)

That fool!

♪♪

This will be the most dangerous duel I ever had,

and I can't wait!

If he messes this up,

he's gonna be sorry big time!

(Kari) All right, Yuma, that's enough!

You really have to stop stuffing your face

and get out the door!

You're late!

But I'm still hungry!

See you at dinner!

Incredible!

That kid has the appetite of a brontosaur.

Yes, he does.

But luckily Yuma has me cooking for him, so he won't go extinct.

That's true.

♪♪

(Ray) Wait up, Yuma!

Oh, hey.

What's up, Ray?

I knew it's your first day back from the hospital,

so I waited for you!

Thanks but now you'll be late, too!

Look!

(Yuma) What's going on?

♪♪

What do you guys want?

Clearly they stand with Barian World.

Then we're in trouble.

(Yuma) I've gotta keep Ray out of this!

Quick, run!

Well, if you insist!

(Girag) Sorry, Alito, but I'm gonna do this my way.

We can't afford to fail.

I'm gonna stomp down Yuma Tsukumo and Astral

then take all their Numbers!

(Rio) Hi, Tori!

Oh!

Hey, Rio!

How's it going?

I'm great!

Oh... I heard that Yuma's coming back to school today.

Yeah!

Even though he never bathes and burps in public,

it's going to be great to have him back.

(laughing)

(gasping)

There is danger.

What do you mean?

A darkness approaches and threatens the light.

It comes for Yuma.

Are you sure?

We have to help him!

♪♪

(Yuma) Come on, I think we're losing them!

Great!

There goes our escape route!

We're boxed in!

(Yuma) These guys are all gonna duel me at once?

Looks like they're definitely playing for keeps!

And if I lose, Astral's done for!

What am I gonna do?

(Shark) Heads up, Yuma!

Shark!

I heard there might be a duel and I didn't wanna miss out.

(Tori) He's not the only one!

(Ray) It's Tori, and Rio!

If you want to take these clowns down...

Then you'll need some girl power!

Awesome!

Welcome to the team you two!

Okay, guys...

Let's do this!

Duel Disk go!

(Shark) I'm locked and loaded!

(Rio) Me too!

Duel Gazer let's roll!

(all) Let's duel!

(Girag) I can't stand party crashers!

Spoilin' all my fun!

But I invited a surprise guest of my own!

Go at 'em, Big Jaws!

Gulp Grind att*ck!

Bring it on!

Why don't you att*ck all at once

so we can finish you off faster?

(Rio) Your turn, Zerofyne!

Put them on ice with Icicle Storm!

Yuma, time for you to take a cr*ck at them!

Round 'em up, Gagaga Cowboy!

att*ck that desperado directly!

No problem-- We can handle this crowd.

Sorry, Yuma.

But I have no choice.

You're on their side?

The enemies of Barian World must be destroyed.

(laughing)

Hey, I remember you!

You're the guy who teamed up with me

for the Friendship Games!

So, are you mixed up with these guys too!?

You might say that.

In fact, I'm running this show.

Get the picture, twerp?

He must have come from Barian!

Your right!

So you're the one controlling this mob?

Yeah.

I am Girag... a Barian warrior!

But enough talk-- Fall in, troops!

Launch an all-out as*ault on Yuma and Astral!

(shouting)

(shouting)

(Girag) Summon your monsters and prepare to att*ck!

You better have the best defense ever, Yuma...

...'cause they're all comin' after you!

A mass att*ck!

This is serious.

Their combined force will be overpowering.

All monsters move in on Yuma and strike him down now!

(growling and shouting)

I'll put a stop to this Yuma!

Go Lightning Clinch!

Not you!

I may lose , life points,

but you and your army are gonna have to try

a different approach if you want to KO me and get to Yuma!

(groaning)

Alito!

Are you okay!

Say something please!

Alito!

Why?

Why are you helping him!?

That's my business!

I draw!

I'm activating the spell Brain Reboot!

When I have a thousand life points or less,

this spell immediately sends all of your monsters

back to your hands,

and then delivers a knockout blow

that'll send your pathetic partners

flying to the floor for a ten count!

(screaming)

(groaning)

You... traitor...

How dare you!

Whose side are you on, Alito?

We were given a mission!

We need that kid's Numbers to save our world

and it's our job to take 'em any way we can!

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

I know what I need to do!

What the huh?

You mean you're from Barian?

So why are you standing in my way?

Oh, you know why.

I already told you I'll b*at Yuma and Astral by myself!

There's too much at stake!

We can't afford to take any chances this time.

This Yuma's a lot tougher than you think!

He's a great duelist!

I know.

That's why I want to confront him all alone.

I'll b*at him and then take all of his Numbers,

proving I'm the best!

My loyalty is to Barian World,

but I'm a duelist first!

Alito!

That's why I decided to settle this my way,

by dueling with honor!

It's a disgrace to rig a battle the way you did!

Now get out of here!

You will duel me, won't you?

Hold up!

If I accept I'm gonna have to put my Numbers on the line,

right? Of course.

But Yuma, we'll both be dueling for Numbers

and for our very survival.

Survival?

I'm willing to risk everything to duel against you!

I'll b*at both you and Astral!

He is determined to confront us.

Like it or not, sooner or later we will have to face him.

Then why wait?

Let's do it!

You're so eager to battle us, then bring it on we're ready!

I knew you wouldn't let me down!

And I promise not to disappoint.

I activate a Barian Sphere Field!

♪♪

Now, Yuma, we'll make this the most epic battle ever!

Yeah!

I'm ready!

And rarin' to go!

Same here!

Get set to get decked!

Not gonna happen!

(both) Let's duel!

♪♪

(Yuma) I can't believe Alito's a Barian!

If he wins, he'll take all our Numbers!

I'm going first, Yuma!

The battle begins now!

I'll start by summoning Battlin' Boxer Headgeared!

And since I can't att*ck on the first turn,

I can summon a second bruiser to my field.

Go to your corner, Battlin' Boxer Sparrer!

Alito now has two Level monsters on his field, Yuma.

I overlay both my Level Battlin' Boxers!

With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke!

We faced the same monster last time we dueled him.

Oh, yeah...

When Lead Yoke uses an Overlay Unit,

you can hit it as hard as you like in battle,

but it's impossible to destroy.

And on top of that, it gains att*ck points!

He kept clobbering me with this monster in our last time

and he almost won!

I place three cards facedown and end my turn.

Your move, Yuma!

What is he up to?

It is possible he is setting up the same "counter" strategy

he tried before.

That was genius!

Alito "countered" every move against him

and it made him even stronger!

I barely managed to figure out a way around it.

Only this time the stakes are greater,

so we must expect the unexpected.

Stop stalling and make a move already!

Here goes!

Whatever your strategy is, I'm gonna win this my way!

I draw!

I'll start with one of my go-to monsters, Gagaga Magician!

And since it's a Level Gagaga monster...

I can summon another Gagaga from my hand!

It's playtime little fella!

I'm gonna activate its special ability!

As quick as it can polish off an ice pop,

it's goin' to Level , just like Gagaga Magician!

And now I'm going to overlay my two Level Gagagas!

With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Number Utopia!

Soon you're gonna be all mine.

And just like you, I'll put three cards facedown!

So, I see you're trying to negate

my counter strategy again!

Maybe.

For now though, I'll end my--

Sorry, but you're not ending anything

till I activate my Overlay Flash spell!

A spell?

He's pulling a fast one to catch Yuma off guard!

Overlay Flash uses up one of my Battlin' Boxer

Lead Yoke's Overlay Units

in order to negate the special abilities of your Utopia!

No!

Your mighty Utopia is now totally vulnerable.

But that's not your only problem!

Since Lead Yoke just lost an Overlay Unit,

it gets att*ck points stronger!

His tactics are more aggressive than I expected.

If only there were some way you could activate

your Fiery Fervor card.

Since his monster's att*ck points have increased,

you could use that trap to double Utopia's att*ck points.

But since you just placed it facedown,

we cannot activate it.

We have found ourselves in a most precarious situation.

I guess I'll finally end my turn now.

It's my move-- I draw!

Lead Yoke strike down Utopia!

This resembles the att*ck on Gauntlet Launcher

in your last duel.

You're right!

So I'll do what I did last time, use Battle Rush!

This trap protects my monster so you can't destroy it in battle,

but that's not all!

Any damage I would have taken... you take instead!

You're gonna have to do way better than that, Yuma.

I can easily counter it by using Fancy Footwork.

This trap destroys your trap!

So once again it's bye-bye Battle Rush!

But I can Tr*mp your counter move

just like the last time we dueled!

I activate another trap card... Xyz Strike!

When you activate a trap

when two Xyz Monsters are battling,

my Xyz Strike destroys your trap!

Next, I'll draw one card from my deck

and if it happens to be a monster card,

then it's bad news for you.

That's because Utopia and Lead Yoke

will switch att*ck points...

but Lead Yoke's points will become zero

until the end of the battle!

If you thought I'd fall for that trap again,

you underestimated me big-time!

I'm gonna outmaneuver your counter move

by activating Counter Clash!

What's that!?

He was planning this all along!

It's a trap card that targets a trap you activated

during battle and wipes it out completely!

And as an added bonus

Counter Clash doubles the damage you take during this battle!

Lead Yoke has more att*ck points than Utopia,

so you're taking a thousand points of damage!

Lead Yoke, att*ck Utopia!

Knock 'it out and send Yuma flying!

Lead Yoke, att*ck Utopia!

Knock 'it out and send Yuma flying!

(grunting)

I'll turn it over to you now, Yuma.

That move was outstanding!

I could sense that you were totally feelin' the flow

on that last att*ck.

And now I'm feelin' more charged up than ever

about this duel!

That's the spirit!

Let's take it to the next level!

We'll go at it head-to-head,

leaving it all on the duel field,

'til the best one's left standing!

He sounds just like Yuma.

All right then.

You better watch out, Alito,

'cause I'm not pullin' any punches!

Yes!

I'll start my turn by activating the spell Xyz Revenge!

It's time to start makin' my comeback!

Since your Xyz Monster has an Overlay Unit...

I can summon an Xyz monster from the graveyard!

Come on back, Utopia!

Utopia's at full strength and ready to rumble!

This spell also lets my Utopia

steal one Overlay Unit from yours!

I'm glad you took that Overlay Unit,

because you just made Lead Yoke points stronger!

Bad move!

Now that Xyz Monster's gonna be even harder to b*at!

Maybe... or maybe not.

Use your trap.

I will!

I activate my Fiery Fervor trap card!

Since Alito's monster gained att*ck points,

this trap can now be equipped on to Utopia.

Fiery Fervor doubles Utopia's att*ck points, just as planned!

He just pulled off a perfect counter move.

And I fell for it!

It's now or never, Utopia!

Give it all you've got!

Strike Lead Yoke with Rising Sun Double Flare Slash!

(groaning)

That's it, Yuma.

Finish him off!

He can't.

Not on this turn anyway.

Trust me, guys.

It's far from over.

So Yuma could still lose...

Come on!

We still have lots of battling to do, Alito!

Yeah.

You're right.

Let's go!

(Astral) It seems Yuma and Alito are perfectly matched as opponents.

I am curious how this duel will evolve moving forward.

(gasping)

This Barian Sphere Field is starting to drain my powers...

just at the moment Yuma will most need my help!
