(indistinct chatter)

Catch!

(woman) Her again!

What's up with there being a card in this bouquet?

Either Brook stuck it here on purpose or her deck

is missing the spell Devoted Love.

Says here that it ends a battle, but zeroes out your life points.

Why would anyone ever want to give this card to someone?

I mean, it's useless.

(Brook) Don't be so sure, Anna.

Huh? What do you mean, Brook?

Right now you think that spell is worthless,

but I promise you, one day you'll see that

it's incredibly valuable.

(indistinct chatter)

(man) There's been a Chelsea Sparkles sighting!

(woman) Wanna get a cyber smoothie?

(woman) Sure.

(both) Why, hello there!

And welcome one and all to Monster Café!

(Tori) You'll find our menu both ferocious and delicious.

Just draw the item you'd like to order.

I'll take... this one!

An excellent choice.

One Mushroom Man Burger--

What's up, Tori?

I heard your school's having a fun fair

so I thought I'd crash the party!

Anna, what were you thinking?

Yeah, this isn't a drive-thru restaurant!

Hey, Yuma!

Wait.

When did you become a circus clown?

I'm Temtempo the Percussion Djinn.

What made you pick that getup?

When I got to the costume shop this is all they had left.

Personally, I think Yuma's costume is extremely rockin'.

He looks absolutely purr-fect.

Make way for Ray!

Yuma! I've got big news!

What's a "Couples Duel?"

In this tournament, teams, each made up of a guy and a girl will

battle it out and whoever's left standing at the end

gets to take on two pro duelists!

Brook and Mayday Walker are a husband and wife team

who have won a ton of tournaments together.

If you wanna test your skills, this is a golden opportunity.

A chance to duel against two pros!

Count me in!

Cool, but just remember that it's a Couples Duel tournament,

which means you can't enter without a partner.

You should sign up, though, 'cause I heard Brook Walker

is planning to retire soon, and this may be

your last chance to duel her!

What did you say?

Brook would never quit dueling!

Hey, don't hurt the messenger! Take that back!

Okay...

But it won't change the truth.

(Anna) I don't understand.

Brook loves dueling.

Why would she give it up?

Yuma, I want to be your partner for the Couples Duel!

You? My partner?

You can't enter the duel, Anna.

I'm afraid you simply aren't eligible

to be Yuma's dueling partner.

Why is that?

Because, you have to be currently enrolled

as a student in this school to participate.

A... student?

Greetings, oh brave prince!

Long have I yearned for the hour of your arrival!

The anguish of our last parting has lain

heavily upon my mournful heart!

Dear Princess!

This play feels like a dream, a really bad one.

(Bronk) Chill out, Shark! I think Rio's a natural!

(Shark) Who're you supposed to be?

I'm Gogogo Golem.

What do you think?

I think your costume...

is even worse than Rio's play!

(Rio) Quiet back there!

Don't spoil our big romantic scene, or it's curtains!

This arrangement is a little formal, Caswell.

You think?

On the other hand...

...it is also quite sophisticated.

Just like you.

I think it's adorable.

Really, you do?

(indistinct chatter)

(man) Scarlett's my favorite!

(woman) Really, ever.

I can't believe it!

I got a ticket to Scarlett Starling's concert!

My customers get fake concert tickets

and I get all their rarest cards.

This deal is a steal!

Your booth is extremely popular, Flip.

(Flip) It's the president of the student council!

I hear you have an interesting business model.

Yikes! Busted!

(Yuma) If we're gonna have a secret meeting,

does it have to be here?

It's not your place to question your superior officer, Yuma.

Remember, when we're on duty, I call all the sh*ts.

You're just a lowly deputy.

I'm very sorry, sir!

That's better.

Now, I want you to keep a close watch on the school's Fun Fair.

It's precisely the kind of event the Barians

would look to infiltrate.

Do you really think so?

We can't be too careful.

Patrol the fair and investigate any suspicious activity.

Heard and understood, sir!

If I spot any Barians, I'll ask 'em to duel me--

Uh, I mean, I'll bring them to justice

using the card issued to me by you, sir!

That's exactly what I wanted to hear, deputy.

(Anna) Tori's uniform will work perfectly.

This tournament is too important to just sit around.

I got find out why Brook's giving up the game she loves.

And this is the best way to get the answers I need.

♪ Believing gets me through my darkest days ♪

♪ Take a chance to make it all the way ♪

(all) Shark!

Shark!

♪ Take a chance forgetting yesterday ♪

♪ Take a breath my heart will lead the way ♪

Rock on, Shark!

♪ Take a chance I'll take a chance in today ♪♪

(Yuma) These caramel coated noodles are outstanding!

Oh, yeah!

Time for dessert, I'd love a syrup sundae.

Any stands around?

Hey, Yuma, don't you have more important things

to do right now than to keep eating?

Yeah, now that you mention it,

I'd love to drink a milkshake!

Yuma... What, Astral?

I have noticed you have a capacity to ingest far more

food and drink than the average human.

Yeah? I guess I...

I guess I'm hungrier than most people.

Or perhaps your stomach simply enjoys the exercise.

Yeah, that could be it too.

(Anna) Hey, Yuma!

(Yuma) Anna!

What's with the getup?

I just enrolled as a student here.

And now that I'm officially part of the school,

I can enter the Couples Duel with you.

You and me?

Don't disappoint me, Yuma... or else!

Put down the blaster, Anna!

Okay, we're a team!

I haven't dueled against students since I was in school,

and that was a long time ago!

Who shut off the lights?

(voice) I have seen you and your husband duel together.

You make an impressive team.

Who are you?

You will become my instrument of destruction!

I will harness your powers to strike down my foes!

Hey we better move it, Brook,

or we'll be late for our duel.

Are you okay?

Are you still feel up to dueling today?

Yes dear, I'll be fine.

Now let's get going.

"Borrowed your uniform, Tori.

Will return soon, Anna."

Why would Anna take my uniform?

Unless she's planning to pose as a student here at the school.

So she can enter the Couples Duel tournament with Yuma!

(both) Anna won't get away with this!

(announcer) What a tournament! What a team!

Brook and Mayday won every single duel today!

And now it's time to wrap things up --

(Anna) Not so fast!

This isn't over!

There's still one more challenger...

...and that's me!

Anna! What are you doing here?

Hold on... wait a sec.

You know her?

Hey, isn't she the friend who came to our wedding?

That's right, her name's Anna Kaboom.

She used to be a dueling pupil of mine.

(announcer) What a shocker!

The winner of the World Duel Carnival,

our school's own Yuma Tsukumo,

is making a surprise challenge with a mystery partner!

I'm so happy for you, Anna!

Really, I had no idea that you were dating

a world champion duelist!

Wait, are you talkin' about me?

How long have you known each other?

Look, we're not...

Hey, that's not important right now!

Is it true?

I heard you were going to give up dueling forever, Brook!

When you were training me, you told me how important

it was to be committed to dueling!

But you didn't really mean it, did you?

Anna, I can explain!

I don't wanna hear excuses!

Listen, Brook.

You made a promise once.

You told me that if I ever b*at you in a duel,

you'd do anything I asked, no matter what it was!

Well, I'm gonna hold you to it,

so when I b*at you, you can't quit dueling!

But, Anna...

I see that it's pointless to try

and reason with you right now.

All right, then.

I will accept your challenge!

I sense there is a great deal of tension

between Anna and her former teacher.

That's exactly why they have to duel each other!

When there's a problem, dueling's the best

possible way to hash things out!

That's true!

I can already tell this isn't going to be an ordinary duel.

You ready?

I'm always ready!

You set, Anna?

For sure!

So am I!

Let's get started then!

Yeah!

(computer voice) Augmented Reality Vision Link established.

(all) Now let's duel!

(all) Now let's duel!

I'll get things started!

Here goes!

They teamed up!

I can't even look!

(Astral) This duel presents a fascinating challenge.

A team must defeat both opposing duelists to prevail,

so teamwork is essential.

Yuma and Anna must stay in sync with each other to win.

I'm activating the field spell Iceberg Ocean!

Now all face-up monsters in defense mode

will have zero defense points.

I picked this field for you, Brook,

since I know it's one of your favorites.

Next I'll up the altitude, with the spell Balloon Party!

This card gives my team a lift by summoning two Balloon Tokens!

And then I'll tribute both tokens so I can summon my Level

Indestructible Airship Hindenkraft!

It's incredible! Oh brother.

Stay focused, will ya?

According to the rules of this Couples Duel,

none of us is allowed to att*ck on our first turn.

So I'll place one card facedown and let Yuma take over.

Cool!

Okay... I draw!

And I'll summon Gogogo Golem!

Yuma, I highly recommend you focus on strengthening

your defenses this turn.

I will.

I'm placing two cards facedown and ending my turn.

Here I go!

I draw!

I'll dive right in by activating the spell Raft Party!

This card summons two Raft Tokens!

But they won't hang around for long, because I'm tributing them

to summon something way more massive!

Here comes Unsinkable Titanica!

Their monsters totally rock!

Whose side are you on?

I activate my Hindenkraft's special ability!

Since my lovely wife summoned Titanica,

your Gogogo Golem switches to defense mode.

Also, due to Iceberg Ocean's effect,

your Gogogo Golem's defense points shrink to zero!

Gogogo Golem!

I activate my Titanica's special ability!

It destroys a monster that has zero defense points...

and then hits you with damage equal to half

of that monster's att*ck points!

Why did I pick you as a partner?

You're dueling like a total wimp.

Oh yeah?

Why don't you find someone else to duel with then!

Your opponents are working in perfect harmony.

I'll use a trap card to get my game back on!

Whenever a special ability destroys my monster,

Puzzle Reborn summons that monster back in att*ck mode!

Welcome back, Gogogo Golem!

Impressive.

I'll put one card facedown and end my turn.

Anna's up!

It's about time!

I've been itching to get in on the action!

I'll get my first turn rolling by summoning

Night Express Knight!

I can summon it without tributing by lowering

its att*ck points to zero.

But I'm not done!

I'm activating the spell card Southern Stars!

It raises the Level of one monster all the way up to ten!

That's gonna be you, Gogogo Golem!

Yes!

I can't wait to take advantage of that maneuver!

I do not think so...

I overlay my Level ten Express Knight

and Yuma's Gogogo Golem!

Go for it, guys!

I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon!

Make way for the monster train

that's gonna derail your chances of winning!

Chug on in, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max!

Hey, if you wanna use my monster,

you should ask me first!

According to the rules, if I want to Xyz Summon,

I can use your monster even if you don't like it!

Wait... Please.

Quit whining and let me duel.

I activate Gustav's special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit, my train blasts my opponent

with , points of damage!

I'm going after Brook!

Now let it rip! Ready, aim, fire!

Don't think so!

I activate Engagement Destiny!

This spell card lets me absorb half the damage!

No way!

Brook!

Got you!

We can face any difficulty as long as we both

go through it together!

It's true!

By sharing both our joys and our hardships,

our love makes us stronger!

Ugh, how ridiculous!

I'll put one card facedown and end my turn.

It's my turn again!

So here... I go!

Brook, darling, let's show them why

we make a perfect dueling couple.

Yes, dear! Go for it!

I overlay my Level ten Hindenkraft

and Brook's Level ten Titanica!

With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!

Watch in wonder as the master of the skies and the queen of

the seas unite to form an even more massive mega monster!

I Xyz Summon Skypalace Gangaridai!

(Mayday) This monster's going to sink any chance

you two had of winning this duel!

I activate Skypalace Gangaridai's special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit, Skypalace Gangaridai

destroys one monster on your field

and slashes its owner's life points in half!

Take out Gustav Max!

Skypalace, fire your Torid Torpedo!

Anna!

That Skypalace is a true thr*at!

Next, I'm gonna att*ck Yuma.

Gangaridai, strike Yuma directly!

I hope you like the taste of defeat, kid!
