Now let's get up to speed with "yu-gi-oh ds"!
Kalin's flame has been extinguished.
How disappointing.
Professor fudo, it seems the thistle doesn't fall
Far from the brush.
Destiny has made your son a thorn in my side.
Commander, this is far enough.
I can take things from here.
I thought you'd forgotten the promise you made.
I don't forget promises, big brother.
I've done everything you asked me to do.
I've stayed in contact with iliaster,
I've watched the stars,
I brought the signers together.
The king of the netherworld will emerge,
Ready to fight, but your signers,
Yusei in particular,
They're trying to close the gate.
They're trying to stop destiny.
The public security bureau?
Time to investigate.
Ha ha ha!
I'm glad you made it.
I am gonna make you pay for all
The damage that you've done!
There are incredible forces at play here, yusei,
We humans are just the means to an end,
We're not important.
I've got bad news for you--
The crazy stops right here, right now!
Let's duel! Let's duel!
I now summon earthbound immortal uru!
Whoa.
Unleash your web of destruction!
att*ck!
I activate my trap spirit force!
With this in play, I can avoid taking
Any damage by deflecting your att*ck,
And after that, I can add
A reinforcement to my hand
From my graveyard!
Actually--you won't be doing any
Of those things. What?
With the power of earthbound wave,
I can negate the activation and effect
Of one of your trap cards.
Oh, no! Aah!
Fight back so that I can throw you
To the shadows just like I did your father.
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!

Huh. This musta been the reactor's research area.
Huh?
That looks like...
Romanyusei fudo!
What are you waiting for?
Ha ha ha!
Are you too scared to draw?
It's understandable if you are,
As I would be too, if half my life points
Depended on what kind of card I picked.
I'm not scared!
Well you should be since you just drew
A monster card.
Now because of that, the destiny activator spell
Activates and all but ends this duel!
He's barely holding on.
Yusei! Yusei!
Ha ha ha!
Destiny has you in its grasp.
It's crushing you.
He looks weak. You don't think he's
Gonna give up, do you?
This duel is over.
It's not over 'til the last card is played.
You tell him! Don't back down!
Get 'im, kid!
I summon zero gardna in defense mode!
Computerif you chose to sacrifice the monster card
Zero gardna, you will take zero damage
For the rest of this turn.
Next, I place one card facedown
And end my turn.
Impressive. You have the will to fight on after all.
I suppose you inherited that stubbornness from your father.
How fascinating that after seventeen years,
The signer who's come stumbling down here,
Hoping to defeat me is professor fudo's son.
And you think destiny's not in control.
The only destiny is the one we make, roman!
Strong words, yusei, especially for someone
Hanging on by a thread, but you're up against
A force with power you can't begin to comprehend.
A force awoken by your father.
It's time for you to learn the truth
About the force your father's work awoke.
Twenty years ago, during an experiment, your father,
Already an expert in quantum physics,
Discovered planetary particles.
"Planetary particles?"
What are those?
Romanlet me explain this so you'll understand.
These particles act like planetary gears,
Binding otherwise unrelated particles to one another.
Kind of like how the mark of the crimson dragon
Has united you and your little friends,
A planetary particle brings other unlike particles together.
Your father's team began conducting experiments,
Using planetary particles to build
And manipulate greater molecular structures,
Which led to the discovery of ener-d,
And the creation of the ener-d reactor.
Rex and I joined his team as research assistants.
Everyone was excited about the possibilities
The reactor was presenting.
Especially your father.
He couldn't contain his enthusiasm.
Gentlemen, it's working, and this is the key.
Roman, voice-overthe research was proceeding smoothly.
Until that fateful day.
We were working late into the evening.
[Rumbling]
That doesn't sound good.
Goodwinthose energy readings can't be right, can they?
There's nothing wrong with the equipment, everything's working.
Roman, voice-overwe couldn't comprehend what we were witnessing.
The only thing we were certain of was that
The ener-d reactor seemed to be creating
A strange and magnificent power that science couldn't define.
Every time we conducted a test, unusual weather
Descended on new domino city.
Are you serious, professor?!
You're shutting the reactor down?
I have no choice.
We can't pinpoint the connection
Between the reactor and these recent unusual occurrences.
It's-- well, yes, but-- that's why we have
To press on.
It's why we have to stop.
We can't risk something terrible happening,
We can't knowingly put the city in danger
In the name of progress.
Roman, voice-overi wasn't happy to say the least
So I did some investigating, and discovered that
There was another part of the world
Where similar weather conditions
And seismic anomalies were happening
At the same time as our tests.
So I journeyed to the nazca lands
To find out as much information as I could.
While travelling around, I heard a local legend--
According to this myth-- every five thousand years,
Powerful spirits rise up and battle at the nazca lands.
The nazca lines were said to be the evil spirits sealed away,
Defeated by the great dragon during their last battle.
I was so curious, so I drove out to see these lines for myself.
It was there I met a man,
A man from iliaster.
Iliaster?
Professor goodwin, right?
Shame about the reactor.
I can't believe professor fudo just shut it down.
How do you know about me and the reactor?
You can't take it, can you?
You want desperately to continue
The particle research.
Am I wrong?
The research must continue, even if that
Means getting rid of professor fudo.
You better explain yourself, and quick!
Beyond the reactor's light lies something special.
A power like our world has never known.
You've felt it, haven't you?
We at iliaster believe that you're
The real visionary, roman, the one brave enough
To turn the present into the future.
You are special, roman.
Destiny has hand-picked you,
You have been marked for greatness.
What do you mean?
You have a mark on your left arm, do you not?
I've had this mark on my arm since I was born.
That's right.
Destiny has chosen you, roman.
And no one can hide from their destiny forever.
[Thinking] huh? He has the mark of the dragon?
Is he the fifth signer?
Wait! This legend I've been hearing about,
This epic battle, does it have
Something to do with me?
[Grunting]
It just might.
Are you strong enough to listen to the voice in the light?
It will tell you all you need to know.
Heh heh heh!
Wait! Don't leave!
What's he mean, "the voice in the light?"
Roman, voice-overand then I heard it.
It wasn't a voice like me talking to you,
It wasn't words,
But the light was speaking to me nonetheless.
[Grunting]
And then I saw it all, and I understood--
The ener-d reactor was destiny's instrument.
It had the power to break the seals
Of the nazca lines, to release the army
Of shadows and instigate the great battle.
Huh?
I wonder what's inside?
Whoa! Rex goodwin!
What're you doin' here?
Crow.
What's goin' on?!
I came to say goodbye to someone,
To my--my brother.
When we were young, everyone knew my big brother was a genius.
I was always very proud of him.
But in addition to his genius,
My brother was burdened with a great destiny.
This issue is not up for debate.
I am shutting down the reactor.
Mansorry, professor.
I'm afraid you no longer have any authority.
As of this morning, you've been expelled
From the r.r.d.
I've been what?!
We've poured way too much money
Into the development of this reactor.
We're not going to sit back and let you shut it down.
Roman goodwin will be taking over.
Roman, what--what's the meaning of this?
The r.r.d. Needs to be led by someone
With the courage to move forward.
The board now feels that I am that person.
I've already taken action and shut down
The generator towers.
The seals are already in place, they--
When you say seals,
Are you talking about these?
How did you?
Don't let him escape!
Talk to me, sir.
How can I help you?
Rex, shut down the reactor.
Take these and hide them from your brother.
The safety of the world depends on it.
Roman! Where are you?!
There you are!
Rex, did you help professor fudo escape?
Have you lost your mind?
Take this!
Take this and run!
Huh?
What is in this capsule?
The key to the world's survival.
Good and evil were battling within me, brother,
And I chose the path of darkness.
Keep the mark of the dragon safe.
Gather the four signers, then come back
And defeat me!
Brother.
Go!
Find the signers!
Find them!
And with this, I will be reborn as a dark signer.
Aaaaaaaarg!!!
Computerwarning-- system malfunction.
Please follow evacuation protocol.
Warning-- system malfunction...
Don't worry.
You'll be safe, my son.
Please follow evacuation protocol.
Warning-- system malfunction.
Romanit was at that moment the door to the underworld opened.
And I became a dark signer.
So your brother started hearing voices
And then made the reactor spin in reverse?
I guess with forces like that at work,
It's no wonder the legendary man who tried to build
The daedulus bridge wasn't successful.
So I take it you believe that "legendary man" really existed?
Well, yeah.
I mean, the guy is kinda sorta, my hero.
One day, I'm gonna re-unite domino city and satellite.
Yes, of course, and then you're going to change
Society and stop crime and cure diseases.
You know I might be able to make that dream a reality.
But first I need you to pass along a message to yusei for me.
If he defeats my brother,
Tell him I'll be waiting.
Hold up!
What do you mean, waiting where?
You lied to me, roman.
You said that my father was greedy
And that he didn't care about the safeguards.
Oh, yusei, I said what I said because
I wanted to upset you, to rattle you.
In truth, your father was a self-righteous bore
Who couldn't see the magnificence
Of the ener-d reactor.
In the end, he was blinded by fear.
Just as you will be!
This is it--the moment destiny has been pushing me towards!
Earthbound immortal uru, att*ck yusei directly!
Not so fast, roman!
By releasing zero gardna,
I can deflect your att*ck
And avoid taking battle damage.
So you managed to survive another att*ck.
How much longer do you think you can keep this up?
Well if roman keeps attacking,
Not very long.
Try to stay positive.
I draw!
And play two facedowns.
[Thinking] I just hope one of them can save me.
Looks like it's your move, roman.
He's betting everything on some trap cards?
I've got your back against the wall!
I'm closing in!
Heh heh heh!
And this trap will crush what little hope you had.
Go, earthbound whirlwind!
With uru on my field, I can use earthbound whirlwind
To destroy every spell and trap card on your field.
I knew it. By playing those facedowns,
He's left himself wide open.
I hoped you'd try this!
I activate starlight road!
Since two of my cards are about to be destroyed,
My trap can deflect the spell!
And now I can use my stardust road
To pave the way for a summoning!
I give you-- stardust dragon!
[Roars]
He did it!
And you guys were being all negative and stuff,
But I knew he could do it!
So you managed to summon your lizard.
Too little, too late.
We'll see about that.
Huh?
I trigger the sh**ting star trap!
With stardust dragon on the field,
sh**ting star can destroy one of your cards.
Let's see what you can do without
Your spider web field spell in play!
Actually, let's not!
I activate anti emptiness!
With this card in play if I drop one of my
Monsters' att*ck points to zero I can stop
The effect of your trap.
And with that, I end my turn.
But not before my earthbound immortal gets
All of its att*ck points back!
Not bad, roman, but let's see if you
Can counter my battle waltz spell card!
Cause with this in play, I get a waltz token
Which can duplicate my dragon!
You do know that you can't att*ck
An earthbound immortal, don't you?
Thanks, but I wasn't planning on it.
I'm attacking you!
Go, cosmic flare!
Did you forget that I have a trap card?
I play roar of the earthbound!
And since your dragon's weaker than my uru,
Not only does your beast get destroyed
But your life points get obliterated as well!
This duel is over!
Nothing is over until I say it is!
I release my stardust dragon in order keep
My life points safe from the effect of your trap!
Now its time for dragon number two to att*ck!
This is gonna win it!
Not just yet!
I activate the trap brilliant shrine art!
Now my immortal can intercept your att*ck
And destroy your duplicate dragon!
My earthbound immortal's going to destroy your
Dragon and then you!
This is destiny's hour, yusei, but don't be too discouraged.
You've done what you were supposed to,
You've played a very pivotal role in this incredible story.
Huh?
I know you thought it was over
And that your big moment was coming,
But unfortunately, I don't take damage
When my duplicate dragon is destroyed.
What?!
And not only that roman,
But your earthbound immortal's power
Is about to take a hit because of my token's special ability!
Roman, I've listened to you go on long enough.
You do terrible things, then you say it's all just destiny's will.
Well, I've got some very bad news for you, roman--
There is no such thing as destiny,
There's only what you do and what you don't do.
But listen, I understand that life is
A long series of chain reactions.
If my father had never discovered
Those planetary particle things,
Then zero reverse never would've happened.
Satellite would still be part of domino city.
My friends like crow and jack wouldn't have
Had to grow up alone on the streets.
But my dad was my dad,
He wasn't some cosmic chess piece.
And as for my friends and all the bad stuff
They've had to go through,
Don't tell me that's fate!
Don't tell me everything happened
'Cause it was meant to!
Yusei.
That's a lie!
It happened because of you
And choices you made!
If only you could knew how wrong you are.
Crowdon't listen to that wingnut, yusei!
Crow.
He's kidding himself.
Ya' think so? I know so.
I heard what you just said about your dad, man,
And you're right-- it wasn't his fault.
There's no way he coulda known
Roman was gonna do what he did.
I guess so.
Look at it this way--
If zero reverse had never happened,
You and me and all the others
Might not've met up and become best friends.
Good things lead to bad things
Leading to more good things,
And that's just life!
And at the end of the day--
We all have choices.
We aren't "destined" to make them.
This guy's just using destiny as
An excuse to be a jerk.
Or who knows--maybe it was my destiny to say that.
But either way-- finish this guy, would ya?!
I'm on it.
Ya know what-- all that really matters
Is that we listen to ourselves.
And that we do what we think is right.
Maybe there is destiny.
But if that's the case, then you were
Destined to fail.
I reveal my last trap card--
Stardust flash!
If I willingly release stardust dragon,
I can use this trap card to summon it back
From my graveyard!
You can bring that beast back again?
That's right roman, and now he's going to
att*ck with cosmic flare!
Ha ha ha! Huh?
You really think it's over, don't you?
Well unless you seal all the towers by sunset,
The king of the netherworld
Will resurrect!
Unh! Aah!
Grab the wire!
Yusei!
Aah!
Home sweet home.
I sense that yusei has won his shadow duel.
Too bad, dear brother, but then you've always said
That your life was insignificant,
That there were greater forces at play,
And maybe you were right, maybe we're all
Just pawns in destiny's game, but if that is the case,
Then I say it's time to change the rules.
