Mcwhat an amazing duel ladies and gentlemen.
After picking apart commander koda,
The black rose will now be moving on
To face the satellite's very own yusei fudo
In the fortune cup's final battle.
Who will win, who will go home,
Stay tuned to find out...
Everything ok, akiza?...
I'm fine.
Your arm!
You also have a mark?!
Stay away from me!
So what's your deal with these marks of ours?
When you saw mine the other day...
You really freaked out.
Yeah well, this mark has brought me nothing but pain,
So what good can come from having another one around.
You got that?
It's dangerous.
So just keep away.
Leoyusei!
Lunathere you are.
We need ya' to settle an argument, who--?...
The witch!
Yuseileo-- she's not a witch.
Leosorry, force of habit.
Lazarwhat's going on back here,
Everybody getting along nicely?
Quite the duel just now, miss akiza, very impressive.
Before the final round gets underway...
Director goodwin has a few things
He'd like to talk to you about.
I'd say more, but it's confidential.
Why don't you come with me and we'll--
Akiza must rest.
And you are...?
Don't play dumb lazar.
Your reputation precedes you.
We both know you don't like surprises
So let's not waste time
Pretending you haven't
Done your homework like I have.
[Chuckles]
Stay way from akiza.
And tell the director she's not interested
In what he has to say.
Now excuse us.
Well, the director will not be pleased with this at all.
What's the story?
Goodwin--what's he want with akiza?
Did you not get the memo?
I could have sworn we meant to keep you posted.
So sorry about that...
That akiza creeps me out.
She seems so sad...
Something wrong?
Um...
My arm kinda stings or something...
Whenever that girl looks at me...
...i feel all weird and stuff.
Sayerakiza, about earlier...
Look, it's just-- we've exposed the movement
By coming to this tournament,
And people will want to know more,
We knew that risk going in to this.
In fact certain individuals
Might continue to approach you
And try to pry information from you.
Akizaok, but... I can speak for myself.
I don't need you to baby-sit me or anything, sayer.
I'm not gonna betray the movement
If that's what you're worried about.
You guys are like my family now.
No one could ever make me turn against all of you.
I'm so relieved to hear you say that.
Goodwin and his people are part of the order of illiaster,
A group seeking to resurrect a force
Known as the crimson dragon.
If allowed to return, the dragon
Will bring the world to its knees.
That's where we come in-- he who rules the sky
Has given the members of the arcadia movement special powers...
We are his chosen.
We will stop goodwin and lead the world
Down the right path.
Sounds like a good time.
Yes, well, speaking of time...
It's almost time for your duel with yusei.
He might be a member of illiaster,
We're not sure yet.
Either way, it is crucial that you defeat him.
Once you get through this satellite,
You can bring jack atlas to his knees.
And then the crowd's jeers will change to cheers,
And our time will finally come.
You're ready, aren't you?
Of course.
[Thinking] and maybe then I can rid myself
Of this power I possess...
Why did this mark choose me?
What did I do to deserve it?
I must find a way to rid myself of its control
Before it's too late!
[Thinking] akiza... With the power of my deck,
I know I can help you overcome
The hate and anger you feel...
But first I have to figure out why you don't want to be helped.
You say you're afraid of me because of my mark...
Because your mark has caused you nothing but pain.
But whatever these marks are--
They connect all of us somehow...
And I'm sure goodwin knows why.
And something tells me those characters who hang around you
Know what's going on, too.
Everyone is out to use us somehow
And we can't let that happen.
We've gotta come together...
Like a team or something.
That includes you, akiza...
I need to use our duel to remove
That mask you're hiding behind...
But in order to do that, I have to figure you out,
Who you are, what makes you tick...
I don't wanna have to go full force...
But if it means tearing down that wall
You've built around yourself,
I'll do it.
And then...after this battle...
I need to get jack on our side too...
It's time sayer.
If you find yourself at a point
Where you feel like your power is going to take over,
Just remember that this energy stabilizer in your hair
Will limit your powers...
The fate of the world is in your hands...
We're all counting on you akiza...
What about my mask?
Take it but you won't need it.
Beat the freak!
This is a tournament, not a creep fest!
Nobody likes you, witch!
My goodness...they say such mean things.
Why are they so cruel? She's just a child.
People don't understand her special abilities,
And when people don't understand something they see,
They tend to be afraid of it.
So--if everyone's so afraid of her,
Why are they here to watch her duel?
That's easy leo... They're all hoping that she'll lose.
See when people are afraid of something...
They don't like to be alone
So sometimes they'll band together
Hoping to see that something feel bad
Which makes them feel good.
Wow, talk about seeing the glass half empty tanner.
Lazari tried to bring the girl to you, director,
But that arcadia bunch wouldn't let her out of their sights.
They may prove to be a problem down the road.
Goodwinhmph!... I'm not worried about those deluded fools.
It's not like they have very much influence.
Still--they did manage to make her their puppet.
The situation is ironic if you think about it.
The black rose is a member of the arcadia movement.
The arcadia movement opposes us.
And yet, she's going to do us a favor.
According to zigzix's readings,
She's more than capable of getting yusei
To reveal his true power.
That being said...
I do hope yusei manages to win this duel.
I want to see it, lazar. Don't you?
Don't you want to see jack's red dragon archfiend
Clash with yusei's stardust dragon again?
I want to witness the energy such a clash creates.
I want to feel the power.
Huh! I'll make you feel so much power,
You won't be able to handle it.
[Thinking] yusei...
You may think you're an incredible duelist...
But this black rose has a power
Unlike anything you've ever encountered...
...so be sure not to lose,
'Cause I want to see goodwin's face
When I use the dragon's power for myself...
Yeah--!
It's finally time for the final!
The winner of this next match
Gets to go on to the ultimate showdown ...
A one-on-one no-holds-barred duel
With the master of faster himself--jack atlas!...
...our first finalist is the mysterious black rose--akiza!
[Crowd booing]
Go home, witch!
You're gonna lose, you freak!
Mcchallenging her is the sh**ting star from the satellite sector...
Yusei fudo!
Come on, yusei! You can do it!
Bring it on!
This'll be exciting.
Be careful. Very careful.
[Thinking] so you're scared too, kuribon?...
Something bad is going to happen, isn't it?...
[Thinking] akiza... This is our moment.
Seize this opportunity and introduce the world
To the true power of the arcadia movement.
Mcevery card has led us to this moment!
The final round of the fortune cup is about to begin!
Bothlet's do this!
Mcand now--get ready for the final round
Of the fortune cup!
Hope you're ready!
The first move is mine.
I draw.
I summon wall of ivy in defense mode.
Next I place one card facedown
And end my turn.
My move then.
And I counter by playing speed warrior
In attack mode.
On the turn speed warrior is summoned,
Its attack points are doubled.
Speed warrior shred that wall of ivy!
You had better be careful yusei,
Because when my ivy wall is destroyed
One of my ivy tokens takes root
On your side of the field.
Mcwe've seen the black rose use this strategy before...
It really created problems for commander koda
And sir randsborg.
What kind of havoc will she wreak on yusei!?
These could be a problem...
It's your move.
You're too kind.
Now then.
Remember that last round?...
When I summoned wall of ivy
Only to have you tear it down with your speed warrior?
Well, I'm playing the cursed ivy trap card
To bring my wall of ivy back.
In case you can't tell, I've got kind of a green thumb.
Oh and by the way, I really should thank you,
'Cause cursed ivy gets powered up by my ivy wall...
So now it's stronger than it was before.
[Thinking] I know what she's doing--
She's trying to increase
The number of ivy tokens on my field.
'Cause when that little sprout gets destroyed,
I'll take points of damage
And if she gets more on my field...
You gonna stand around and think
Or are you gonna duel?
It's been a relatively mellow duel so far...
Even the crowd seems to have simmered down a bit, but...
Could we simply be experiencing the calm before the storm?
And I'm sending speed warrior
To my graveyard...
...in order to summon my turret warrior!
And due to my turret's
Special ability
It now gains the attack points
Of my speed warrior.
Looks like your wall of ivy
Is about to get uprooted!
And it looks like another ivy token
Is about to sh**t up on your side of the field.
Turret warrior attack!
By destroying my wall of ivy,
You've also taken out the cursed ivy trap card.
And when my cursed ivy is sent to the graveyard,
It summons more ivy tokens to your side of the field...
[Thinking] man, these things
Are growing out of control...
You got anything else for me?
No...i'm done for now.
That's disappointing. I draw!
And from my hand-- I'm activating
The seed of deception spell card.
Duel runner computerseed of deception is a spell card
That lets you special summon a level or below
Plant type monster from your hand.
Akizaso with the power of this spell card
I summon out dark verger in attack mode.
But now I'm going to do a little landscaping
To make room for something stronger...
...i advance summon
Rose tentacles in attack mode!
The best thing about roses
Is that their thorns are as dangerous
As their petals are beautiful
And you're about to experience that firsthand!
Go rose retaliation!
Mcyusei only took points of damage from that attack...
But I've got a feeling the black rose's strategy
Is about to blossom into something
Far more terrifying...
That attack was just the beginning,
So get ready for my rose tentacles' special ability
To squeeze you into submission...
Now you take damage for the ivy tokens on your field!
This might hurt!
That's some move.
So she's gonna attack, times?
This is the part of the battle that I enjoy the most
Because now I get to watch
The power of my rose tentacles and ivy tokens
Bleed your life points dry.
Mcincredible!... Akiza's managed to plant
Ivy tokens on yusei's field...
Which means she can unleash a quadruple dose of destruction.
And with each attack, yusei's gonna take points of damage...
Woah, it looks like the fans are running for the exits,
And who could blame them,
Especially after witnessing the black rose's destructive powers
In her last duels.
I wouldn't want to be in yusei's boots right now.
Oh, no...
Well, guys... Nice knowin' ya.
We should take cover!
Let's see if people keep picking on me after this...
Get ready yusei!
Here's one more! Attack!
Lazarwe finally have someone
Who can push yusei to his limits!...
I'm getting some popcorn. Anyone interested?
[Thinking] that's right, akiza...
Take all that loneliness and suffering you've endured...
Use it...there's no need to be afraid...
Is he ok?
[Thinking] please... Hang in there, yusei...
You're not giving in yet?...
Well!...maybe this'll change your mind?!
[Thinking] I don't even think she cares about winning...
There's something else driving her...
I know the world has been cruel to you
Because of the mark you have akiza
But you have to realize that retaliating
Won't do anybody any good...
I'm going to enjoy this... Now attackkkkk!
Look at you up there. Hopeless and alone.
No one can help you, and no one wants to.
Now you know what it feels like
To be me in this cruel cold world.
[Thinking] she's smiling; she's actually enjoying my pain...
Mcwhoa!...akiza's attack has the stadium in panic!...
The place is in complete chaos...
Just like we thought, akiza is...
A witch...
It's true.
That girl's a witch!
Cheater! She's dangerous!
Akiza... I want to help you.
I want to be your friend
And I'm gonna use every card I have
To prove it to you.
And I'll start by playing
Shield warrior in defense mode.
Next, I place cards facedown
And end my turn.
I think I understand it now...
What makes you tick akiza...
Because of all that people have put you through...
You enjoy it.
Enjoy what?
...you enjoy people's misery.
You like how it makes people feel.
You like how it makes you feel.
You're right...
...and for the rest of this duel...
I really plan on enjoying myself...
