02x08 - Pop Goes the Duel

[bunniefuu]

Student: dude! Did'ja hear about jaden?!

Second student: yeah, he can't duel anymore!

For real?!

Outta the way!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Take a hike, dorks.

All: chazz!

I said beat it!

Boo!

It's not true, right?

'Cause my lab partner's sister's third cousin

Said that jaden can't duel!

Please tell me it's just another rumor.

When they said that you hit puberty, that was a rumor,

But this one's true, 'cause according to jaden,

He can't see any of his cards.

Chazz: he claims they're all blank!

They look fine to me.

What's the deal?

Fontaine: the cards aren't the problem.

It's jaden.

During his last duel,

Something must've happened to 'im.

Are you messin' with us?

Ha ha. Not this time.

Oh, well. What are ya gonna do?

Where ya goin'?

I just need to chill by myself, sy.

Poor guy.

I've never seen jaden like this.

Poor lad's devastated.

Oh, well. Too bad, so sad.

Time to move on.

Then again, I can't help but feel badly.

Perhaps I should go talk to him.

No, no, no! What's happening to me?!

Could I be turning into a good guy?!

Ojama yellow: oh, the horror!

The horror!

Jaden can't talk to his cards anymore!

What if that was you, boss?!

I can't go there.

It's too--aah!

I hate to dampen the cheery mood,

But we've got a problem--

This dorm.

With jaden out, they might tear it down.

Syrus: he's right, guys.

We're doomed.

Our headquarters? Gone?

Mm-mm-mm.

We may be one man down,

But we're men strong!

Well, men and a lovely lady.

All right, men, a lady, and syrus!

The point is we gotta fight!

Here here, chazz!

I'm in!

I'll stand by and cheer!

How 'bout a group "yee-hah!"

All: yee-haaah!

Hmm.

Crowler! If you try anything,

You'll crash into a wall of brotherhood!

Yeah, brotherhood!

And sisterhood, too!

All for one, right, guys?

N' one for all!

Does anyone else hear singing?

Or is it me?

♪ Everybody rock now

♪ Chillin' out on my boat with a guitar ♪

Yeah! Hey, sissy!

Atticus?

No way!

Nice song!

Hold on!

Who's he callin' a sissy?!

Me. He's my brother.

I knew that.

So, what brings you to this side of campus?

Come on. You know.

Crowler's plan? Remember?

You're joking.

Crowler: he sounds pretty serious to me!

Chancellor crowler?

Nice day for snorkeling, isn't it?

By the way, alexis...

Have you come to your senses yet or not?

My senses?!

I'm not the one in the wetsuit

With a boat strapped to my back!

Sis, can't ya just give his idea a chance?

Aah! Please?

What idea?

I already told you guys, didn't i?

Crowler wants atticus and I to become a pop-singing duo.

What's so bad about that?

I get free publicity, you get a free dress...

Huh? It's a win-win situation!

[Chuckling]

Yeah!

A little help here!

Yeah, chazz.

You know she can't carry a tune!

Oh!

Uhh!

You gotta know when to hold 'em, soldier.

I was trying to help!

Girls-- so complex.

Wait! I know!

Huh? Meet lex-i-licious!

Your glammed-out alter ego!

You just don't get it!

Fine. Go cas.

Just give it up.

I'm staying.

Man, you're as stubborn as ever, sis.

Come on, chazzy... Talk some sense into her.

Me?!

Yeah. Tell her how we'd take

The pop charts by storm

And how we'd sell out arenas around the world!

And how I'd be your groupie?

Come on, chazz!

Tell 'im we've got more important things to do!

Tell 'im about our dorm!

How we're all gonna protect it!

I was getting there.

Atticus: come on, chazz! Don't listen to her!

Tell 'im, chazz!

Tell her! Tell 'im!

I can't take it!

Don't make me choose between you!

The pressure's just too much.

What did I do to deserve this?!

Uhh!

Conflicted allegiance.

So much for "brotherhood."

Looks like we hafta settle this the old-school way.

Ya know, like we did when we were kids.

You and I hafta duel, sis!

You win...i'll sing.

But if I win... You'll drop this whole thing!

You're on.

Crowler: attention!

Today's duel shall prove that our school

Is not only home of the world's future dueling stars...

It's also the place where pop music legends are made!

Nope. He never misses a duel.

Something's wrong.

Crowler: ladies and gents!

It's showtime!

Monsieur, out of all your ridiculous ideas,

This one takes the pastry!

What's next?!

Duel academy on broadway?!

Well, as you kids like to say...

Time to raise the roof off this joint!

So, give it up for our first star...

Atticus rhodes!

[Cheering]

Ooh! Ahh!

[Giggling]

I gotta say...

That fella knows how ta make an entrance.

I dedicate this duel to the ladies in the house!

All: atticus!

Now, who loves ya, girls?!

You do! You, atticus!

[Chanting "atticus!"]

He's like a one-man boy band!

Sounds lonely.

I doubt it.

Now for his opponent

And sister...

Alexis rhodes!

If duel academy was a goose, she'd be the golden egg!

Uhh... Uhh...

"L" to the "e" to the "x" to the "i!"

Lexi rules, and that's no lie!

Before you know it, we'll have a platinum album,

Be in every teen magazine,

And have our own reality show!

Slow down, hotshot.

You hafta win this first.

I named our band.

We're called "bro-bro and sissy."

Huh?

So which one is he?

Good question.

Ha ha.

Together: game on!

All right, sissy! Bro-bro first!

And I play...

Panther warrior in attack mode!

[Growling]

Next up, a spell card.

One that's fit for a star!

It's called spotlight!

And with my panther warrior center stage,

It gains attack points!

Now I'll place this facedown and hand the mic to you.

I'm sensing a theme here,

And to be honest, it's buggin' me!

So I'll change the scenery

With my ritual sanctuary field spell!

She played that for me.

Ha ha ha.

I know what you're gonna ask,

And the answer is--

"Yes, alexis! I do!"

Alexis!

Hey, chazz! Stop yelling my name!

Oh, lexi! Get used to it!

'Cause that's what being a pop idol is all about!

Everyone will be shouting your name!

Of course, they'll shout it

After they're done shouting my name!

You see, we're gonna conquer the world,

And we'll do it one hit single at a time!

Man. Bro-bro's got some issues.

You gotta let go of the dream,

And this move should help!

So...

I'll start by discarding

A spell card from my hand.

Then I'll play my machine angel ritual!

According to my calculations, gents,

She's about to play a cyber angel.

I really hope you have a back-up career in mind

'Cause this whole pop star thing...

Is over!

Now... Good-bye, prima...

And hello, angel!

Cyber angel idaten to be exact!

Ha!

That whole big production just for her?

Talk about a letdown, sis.

That card's only got , attack points!

My panther's way stronger!

Wait, I get what's going on.

You're trying ta lose!

Get over yourself.

My angel's got a special effect!

When she's summoned,

I can bring back a spell card from my graveyard!

And I choose... My ritual w*apon card!

Any idea why?!

'Cause now my cyber angel's attack points

Increase by ,!

You're kidding me!

Her strength almost doubled!

Now watch what she can do with it!

Ha. Now I reveal my facedown trap card--

Cursed ring!

Huh? Why did she stop?!

You're the one who sent her down the aisle.

Unfortunately, she's wearing cursed ring!

So she's fallen in love with her enemy,

And she'd never attack her new soulmate!

You might say she had a change of heart!

Ya see, sis,

She came to her senses.

Even your own monsters know it's best for you to lose!

And soon, they're all gonna refuse to attack me.

Not quite.

It's true that your panther's safe from her attack...

But you sure aren't!

Whatta ya mean?!

Show 'im!

My points!

No! That's not fair!

He's too cute ta lose!

Relax, girls!

That was just a dress rehearsal!

All right, folks... Showtime!

I'll start with this card!

Stray lambs!

It lets me summon two lamb tokens in defense mode.

They've got no points!

It don't matter.

He's only gonna sacrifice 'em.

Ya see, he hasta give up a few soldiers in his front line,

Or else he can't attack.

Atticus: if panther warrior wants to shine in the spotlight,

He's gotta cut down a few friends.

It's the reality of show business, lexi!

You wanna get ahead,

You gotta step on a few friends first!

Not everyone has what it takes to make it!

It's a tough business!

Trust me.

Enough with the showbiz analogies!

Get used to it!

'Cause pretty soon, we're gonna be livin' it, sis!

Now watch this.

I activate...

Path to destiny!

When a beast-warrior is equipped with this card,

It's able to attack the opponent directly.

Ready?!

I sacrifice one lamb token...

So my panther warrior can attack!

Time for your solo performance!

Panther warrior, attack!

[Growling]

Leave sissy alone!

He may be strange,

But the boy sure has some strong tactics.

Correct.

As a matter of fact,

Now that zane's gone,

He's arguably our top student.

He is?!

My brother was replaced

By some two-bit lounge lizard!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Ha ha ha!

Gimme a break!

I place this facedown.

Take it away, sis!

Huh. Don't mind if I do!

I play...

Pot of greed!

This spell card allows me

To draw two new cards from my deck!

Next, I'll summon cyber petit angel in attack mode.

Then I'll play a card that should look familiar--

Machine angel ritual--

Which lets me summon an even stronger angel to the field!

So here goes!

I'll trade in my petit angel and my cyber angel

In order to summon this!

Cyber angel dakini!

Ha!

Now her special ability kicks in!

When she takes the field,

You're forced to destroy one of your own monsters.

So, which one's it gonna be?

Come on! Who do ya think?!

That a girl!

Without that lamb, his panther can't attack!

Now, dakini, destroy his panther warrior!

Uhh!

Sorry, sis!

You just triggered my miracle moment trap card!

Uhh...

Oh, well.

When my panther gets destroyed

While equipped with path to destiny...

I can play...this!

Go, bronze warrior!

That's weird! Only attack points?

Don't underestimate this guy, soldier!

My poor lexi.

You're even more pathetic than I am!

Now my bronze warrior's in the spotlight,

And he's got quite a show in store!

Ready?!

Dress rehearsal's over, sissy!

But it's cool,

'Cause you've got the best seats in the house

For the real performance!

Thanks to bronze warrior's special effect,

I can move indomitable fighter lei lei from my deck to my hand

And then summon it!

But wait!

Bronze warrior has another power as well!

As long as he kicks it in attack mode,

All of my beast-warriors get an extra points!

[Gasp]

Check it out, guys!

His monster is equal to hers now!

All right, folks!

Are you people ready for a field spell?!

Crowd: yeah!

I said...

Are you ready for a field spell?!

Aah!

This concert stinks!

I want a refund!

Sporting the ultimate stage costume

Gives my warrior a ,-point boost!

No way!

It's been real,

But now it's time for the grand finale!

Take it away, lei lei!

It's a draw!

[Grumbling]

Encore time!

My glitzed-out warrior att*cks you directly!

It's a real show-stopper!

Aah!

Nooo! I can't watch!

I tried to be a good fan,

But I failed you, lexi!

[Sobbing]

I hate to interrupt your dramatic moment...

But?

It's not over.

Say wha?!

[Grunting]

I'm lost.

His outfit's too big.

Guess he overdressed.

Atticus: oh, yeah.

That costume doesn't work for direct att*cks.

Oops. My bad.

All: aah!

Ow! What's your problem?!

She only lost !

You were right. It was his uniform.

Hassleberry: I wouldn't wanna attack dressed like that, either.

Atticus: ha ha ha!

Laugh it up, bro,

'Cause I'm about ta have the last laugh!

I pay life points to activate the spell card

Fulfillment of the contract!

You wanted a show-- well, you got one!

'Cause now I can pick a monster from my graveyard

And summon it back to the field!

Now, idaten!

Time to activate your special ability,

So I can bring back my ritual sanctuary!

Oh, come on!

Aah! Oh!

This field spell lets me bring another card back to my hand--

Machine angel ritual!

So now I can sacrifice idaten

In order to play cyber angel benten!

All right! Attack bronze warrior!

Aah!

Ha!

Uhh!

Now it's time for the real finale!

[Gasp]

'Cause my benten has a little special ability of her own!

The defense points of your warrior

Come right out of your life points!

Hold on!

But he had , defense points!

So that means...

Show's over!

How could you throw our career away?!

We woulda been huge.

All: we still love you!

She did it!

Hey! You're way better as a solo artist!

But my record deal!

That was a great duel, sissy.

Well, thanks, but stop calling me "sissy."

Fair enough.

Anyway, I did all this because I thought it was best for you.

After all, you're my little sis,

And I just want people to love ya.

And that's exactly where I come in, guys!

I'll love her 'til death do us part!

More than millions of screaming fans ever could!

I know you're just lookin' out for me,

But I belong here with my friends.

Ha ha ha!

Speaking of your friends...

You're one short.

Oh, yeah. Where's jaden?

Long story.

[Thinking] if I can't duel,

What's the point of staying here?

Later, duel academy.
