01x16 - Training Days: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Yumalast time on yu-gi-oh! Zexal

Rokuthe name happens to be roku, but you

Can call me master roku!

All"master roku??"

All the legendary monsters in one place!

Wow!

I poured my heart and soul into making

These wooden statues.

During a duel, these statues come to life!

Do you want to see?

Hmm?

Get set to get decked old-timer!

I'm activating, the statue zone field spell!

Tremble as my blue-eyes attack you directly!

Huh?

Hey!

Uh, can I help you?

Get away, my boy.

Uh.

Away from what?

You mean this guy?

Who is he?

Kaze, a former pupil of mine.

Kazei'm the master now, where's the deck?

You're gonna have to go through me to get it.

Let's duel!

With these two monsters, I build the overlay network

And xyz summon, blade armor ninja!

Poor fool.

If you hadn't tried to protect your monster,

You wouldn't have taken any damage at all.

My monsters are my friends.

They've got my back, and I've got theirs!

Your "friends?" That kind of thinking will

Lead you to your undoing.

Well then give me all you've got and let's find out!

Roku!

Once I defeat this pathetic student of yours,

I will truly be the master of this duel sanctuary and the

Legendary deck you hold so dear will be mine.

And then I will be unstoppable!

Look, samurai guy, I don't even know what this legendary deck is

All I know is that master roku doesn't want you to have it.

So you're not gonna get it!

Hmph!

You would be wise to rethink this duel and quit now.

Trust me.

Do not stand in my way.

For if you do.

I will show no mercy!

And you will feel my wrath!

Bronkshow him what you're made of, yuma!

Torithis guy was your student?

Was he like any good?

He was the best student I've ever had until the

Darkness filled his heart and corrupted his spirit.

Bring it on, ya' big wind bag!

I draw!

Now if I lower dododo warrior's attack points by ,

I can summon it to the field!

You have no idea what you're doing, do you?

If you had tributed gagaga magician to summon dododo

Warrior, it would've come to the field with more attack points

Than my blade armor ninja.

Why would yuma keep his magician if it means making dododo

Warrior weaker?

Astralyuma, did you do that just to protect your magician?

You got a problem with that?

I do not.

Alright, next up, I activate the full-force strike

Spell card from my hand!

When our monsters battle, neither one of us takes damage,

But your monster will be destroyed!

Now I'm gonna attack your blade armor ninja

With dododo warrior!

Go dododo axe!

I activate my trap!

Armor ninjitsu art of freezing!

When there's a ninja on my field, this trap not only stops

Your monster's attack.

But it binds your so called friend so that it

Can't change battle mode.

That is not good.

Your efforts to stop me are in vain, you're going to fall and

Roku's legendary deck will be mine!

You might have my back against the wall, but you're not gonna

Beat me or get master roku's legendary deck!

I place one card facedown and end my turn!

Hmph!

In that case - I draw!

I activate the spell spy attack!

By sending one monster from my hand to the graveyard, I gain

The ability to look at a facedown card on your field!

Aqua armor ninja!

Sneak into the enemy's domain and reveal his tactics!

Unlike you, kaze seems to have no problem

Sacrificing his monsters.

Now show me your card!

Interesting

Careful boy.

Grandmadid you get yuma to do all this cleaning, roku?!

I'm impressed!

I can't even get him to straighten up his room!

Haru?

Long time no see!

Hey there, kari!

I can't believe I'm seeing what I'm seeing, yuma!

Uh-! Kari!?

Didn't we have a little talk about you dueling!?

What'd I say?

Put your knuckles away.

You cannot stop yuma from being who he is any more than

You can stop the wind from blowing.

And as a growing duelist, your brother needs your support.

Uuh, yeah!

What he said.

You must remain focused, yuma.

On what?

How nice of your family to gather like this.

They're just in time to watch you suffer a bitter defeat!

Blade armor ninja - attack gagaga magician!

Go electromagnetic sword strike!

Swift like a hummingbird, blade armor ninja whirls around as I

Use its overlay unit to attack again

Bid farewell to your friend dododo warrior!

Thanks to my spy attack, I know that your facedown card is

Gagagaback, which can resurrect your monsters in exchange for

Life points each.

Use it, little gnat, save your precious friends.

Don't do it, yuma.

Those monsters aren't worth life points, not when you're

Already down so low!

Bronk's right

Now let's really test the limits of your foolish devotion!

I reveal the armor ninjitsu art of rust mist trap card!

As long as I have a ninja in play, the attack points of every

Monster you summon is sliced in half!

Are you still willing to do whatever it takes to honor your

Little friends, even when they're rendered

Weak and useless?

Do not let this development stop you from

Following through, yuma, trust your instincts

And listen to your heart.

He is hoping to shatter your resolve by proving that everyone

Is willing to abandon their friends to save themselves.

I think he is wrong.

He is wrong.

I'm activating the gagagaback spell card!

When gagaga magician is destroyed in battle, this card

Can bring it back along with its friend!

Both it and dododo warrior return to the field

And now the bummer part -- I take points of damage

For each one of 'em.

Oh no!

He's down to life points

Now what?

You may have revived your fallen monsters, but now the power of

My trap rust mist slices their attack points in half!

Your move, little gnat.

Are you feeling foolish yet?

Your monsters have been weakened and you're hanging on by a very

Thin thread, the bond you have with your monsters

Has made you weak.

I think I've got you figured out.

The reason you keep saying that friendship makes you weak?

Is simple!

You don't have any friends, do ya!?

Why would I bother relying on anyone other than myself?

I'm strong enough to stand on my own!

I'm certainly not befriending any of my monsters!

The old man's teachings are nonsense!

Dueling is about controlling your monsters and

Bending them to do your will!

You're wrong!

That is not what dueling is about!

You talk a big talk, like you're full of fire.

But you're nothing more than a candle in the wind,

Desperately trying to hold on

Soon, you will be extinguished.

Bring it on.

It's my turn!

I draw!

All right!

Get ready!

Because I'm activating the gagaga bolt spell card!

With gagaga magician on my field, it destroys

One of your cards!

It's been nice knowin' ya, blade armor ninja!

Buh-bye!

Why, you little

And now gagaga magician can attack you directly!

While we're at it - dododo warrior can attack

You directly, too!

I don't think so!

I activate aqua armor's ability from the graveyard!

By banishing this card, it stops your monster's attack!

That's what you think!

See when dododo warrior att*cks

It cancels out all your spells, traps and monster effects!

What!?

With rust mist and aqua's effects out of the picture,

There's nothing standing in dododo warrior's way!

Now attack!

Dododo axe!

Yeah!

Suddenly, everything is coming up yuma!

Nice one, huh?

You talk a lotta trash and act like

Friendship is for losers.

But I believed in my friends and they came through for me!

I didn't toss them aside just to gain a slight advantage!

Roku is right!

You have to respect your monsters!

Whatever, so you lucked out this time.

You think that proves something?

Mark my words, little gnat.

One day you'll look around, and your "friends"

Are gonna be gone.

It's just gonna be you, all alone, with no one to rely on

And you're gonna be scared and you're gonna wish you hadn't

Been so foolish as to depend on someone else!

And now, I draw!

I activate a spell card!

The power of this spell destroys every ninjitsu art on my field!

Why would you go and get rid of your own traps like that?

Because doing so allows me to draw two new cards from my deck.

Just what are you up to?

When you have monsters on the field but I don't, I can summon

Earth armor ninja to mine!

This strategy worries me.

Next, I activate the armor ninjitsu art of

Revival spell card!

This allows me to summon one ninja from my graveyard!

So say hello to flame armor ninja!

And when it is successfully summoned, its

Level increases by !

Whoa.

Look!

His hand, he must have a number card!

No way.

You tried hard, boy, but now?

You are finished!

I'm going to crush you!

I overlay earth armor ninja and flame armor ninja!

With these two monsters, I build the overlay network,

I xyz summon number !

Crimson shadow armor ninja!

Uhm gulp.

The crimson shadow has shown me that true power is

About rage and might!

Strength above everything!

Aw, man.

I don't know if I have enough left in me to take on a number

So this is the monster that's been feeding

Off of kaze's anger.

Now what?

Prepare to crumble in the wake of true power!

Crimson shadow attack gagaga magician!

I'm toast.

Not yet - your trap card!

Oh, yeah, right!

My guts guard trap card can force crimson shadow to attack

Dododo warrior instead of gagaga magician!

And it also protects dododo warrior from

Being destroyed in battle!

Now you finally know what true power looks like.

Urgh, saved by the trap.

But, next turn, if I don't manage to take him out.

Pull yourself together, yuma!

What that boy needs right now is a hearty bit of duel fuel.

Nobody can win on an empty stomach, right, tori?

I'm on it.

Tori?

What's wrong?

No peppy line about hugs and sunshine?

No rousing speech about chumming it up with your monsters?

Yuma.

Do not let your doubt overtake you, remember that you are not

Alone, you have got your friends with you.

When you learn to make that fear your own, and when you master

How to tame it, only then will you truly be

Able to move a monster.

To move a monster

I understand that when your back is to the wall, you may feel

Outnumbered.

But you are not.

When you have friends, you are never alone.

You can do it.

You guys up for this?

You're right, astral.

No matter what we're up against, we're all in it together!

It's time to take a stand with my friends and kick

Some ninja butt!

Yuma!

Catch!

Duel fuel!

Yeah, you rock, tori!

Now I'm totally feelin' the flow!

It's my turn, I draw!

Yeah!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Get ready, 'cause you're about to get yuma-ed!

My decrease spell card lowers my monster's level by !

Which means I can change dododo warrior from a

Level to a level !

Which means I can overlay gagaga magician and dododo warrior!

Which means I can build the overlay network!

Which means I can xyz summon!

Here comes number -- utopia!

Yes!

Everything is set-up.

You can do this yuma.

Yup!

Utopia take out crimson shadow armor ninja!

Go rising sun slash!

How do ya' like that!

You worm, you're nothing!

You will not defeat me like this!

By using one overlay unit, crimson shadow

Returns to the field!

Good cause now I get to throw down the revenge attack spell!

So when your monster att*cks, but fails to destroy its

Opponent in battle, revenge attack activates

And increases its power.

So utopia gains a thousand attack points and

The ability to attack again!

It what!?

Where is this light coming from!?

I always wanted a skylight, but this is

This is where we win the duel!

Utopia!

Attack with rising sun slash!

This can't be!

This can't be!

Yuma!

Not bad, huh guys!?

Well, I dare say that something seems to have lifted

Yuma's dueling spirits.

He's got that bounce in his voice again.

I can't help but wonder who we have to thank for that.

I simply showed yuma the path, he's the one

Who actually took the steps.

Well, I mean, yeah, it was close

Any closer and you'd be the one on the floor!

Not funny.

Stop yuma!

What are you doing?!

You could get hurt!

Get outta the way.

I don't know what you're so angry at, but whatever it is

Slicing this statue in two isn't gonna make it better.

Master roku poured his heart and soul into making this statue!

You don't get to destroy it just cause you're having a bad day!

I was betrayed once by my friends.

I had nowhere to turn

So I came to roku seeking a new direction

He spoke about respecting my monsters and trusting them, but

I lashed out in anger.

I just, I can't do it, after what I went through?,

I just can't, I don't know how to trust anyone.

You can still learn how, my boy

It is never too late for that.

Master

Kaze is going to stay here and continue his training.

Heh!

Maybe I'll swing by sometime and we can duel and then you can

Teach me how to wield that sword like a true master!

We'll see.

I so you were dueling behind my back?

I'm just kidding, you little dweeb

For real - you can duel whenever you want to, yuma.

Yeah!

Did ya' hear that, bronk?

I'm a free man!

I want you to have this deck, yuma.

This is the sanctuary's legendary deck.

I think you and the monsters in here will get along splendidly.

Really?

Really.

That's so awesome, buddy.

You can use those to strengthen up your deck for the

World duel carnival.

Aw, yeah!

Ooh!

Are you planning on entering a duel tournament?

Uh-huh!

Me and my monsters are gonna rock it!

Isn't that right, astral?

Uh, astral?

It seems yuma has gotten his confidence back,

That is a good thing.

If we are to defeat kite, we must both believe we can win.

I must work on that.
