04x09 - Aim for it Manjoume! Path to a Pro Duelist!

[bunniefuu]

Hi!

We thank you today for the Pro Contract application you filed with our company!

But... With your exam results...

...a contract with you seems a bit unlikely at this time!

Don't let this stop you from improving your skills and challenging us again!

See you again!

Oh, boy... Big Bro Manjoume, come on...

You have so many rejection letters here!

What a prank!

You think I like having them around?!

First, Shou ...

Then, Tenjouin-kun !

Their careers...

They know what roads they'll take, and I don't...

If you want to be a Pro, you can just make the Manjoume Group your sponsor, can't you?

And just where will counting on my older brothers' help from the start get me?

I'll become a Pro on my own terms...

And one day, when I've become a duelist who's worthy of the Manjoume Group...

...I'll repay my brothers for what they've done for me!

My, Signor Manjoume...

I was unaware that your resolve was that fervent...

How mortifying!

It is time for me to do all that I can as your advisor!

Don't ever forget the dream that started it all!

Don't ever forget the dream that started it all!

Just keep chasing it down!Keep holding on!

Just keep chasing it down!Keep holding on!

I was about to give up on my unreachable broken dreams...

I was about to give up on my unreachable broken dreams...

...on these deserted promises...

...on these deserted promises...

Those words you stuck into my heart just won't fade away...

Those words you stuck into my heart just won't fade away...

...as I keep repeating them in my mind.

...as I keep repeating them in my mind.

But now, all this wind is pushing right into my back!

But now, all this wind is pushing right into my back!

You can only live life once.

You can only live life once.

Let's all just coat this faded world in a shining red!

Let's all just coat this faded world in a shining red!

...in a style that's all your own.

...in a style that's all your own.

Don't ever forget the dream that started it all!

Don't ever forget the dream that started it all!

Just keep chasing it down! Keep holding on!

Just keep chasing it down! Keep holding on!

Go For It, Manjoume! The Path of a Pro Duelist!

Isn't that...

...Manjoume and Professor Chronos?

Vice-Principal, where are we going?

Ed!

Professor Chronos, what did you want to talk about in person?

I beg of you!

What are you doing, Professor Chronos?

Ed Phoenix...

I, Chronos de Medici, have a once-in-a-lifetime favor to ask of you...

I ask that you take in my Manjoume as your assistente !

Wha?

Wh-What are you on about, Vice-Principal Chronos?

Manjoume has made the decision to not return to the Manjoume Group until he has become a skilled Pro...

And I wish to have his desire granted!

Signor Ed!

I ask that you retrain Manjoume from square uno !

Enough, Vice-Principal Chronos!

I don't remember asking you to do this!

Besides , he's younger than I am!

Me being his assistant...

...sounds fun to me !

Judai!

Become Ed's assistant, and you'll get a closer look at the Pro World!

We-Well...

Huh? Don't tell me, Manjoume...

Are you scared of the Pro World?

No way!

If you won't do it, maybe I should...

Well, Ed? Can I be your assis--

H-Hold on!

I guess seeing the Pro World now wouldn't be too bad...

Well, I don't see why not...

Ed...

I beg of you, no?

Ed, how about it?

Professor Chronos is going this far...

Imagine how he feels.

Suit yourself...

This calls for tiramisu !

My name is Emeralda.

I'm from the Senrigan Group, Ed's sponsor.

I was tasked with managing Ed's schedule, but I'll be leaving that to you from now on.

Take this.

What are these for?

You'll know soon enough.

I'm living here , huh? It's not bad...

Oh, no !

You're going to be staying...

...there .

Good luck!

The light bulbs are all worn out...

Well, I'll make it work...

Come to think of it, that woman...

If you're not up by :, you'll be in for it!

What did she mean?

Hello?

This is the Weekly Duelist... Next week, Ed--

Uh, give me a second...

Uh... Oh!

This is Duel TV--

Uh...

Uh, wai--

This is Victory Jump!

This is Duel King!

Battle TV!

Radio Monster!

Gi-Give me a second!

--Radio Monster!

Looking good !

The exposure's okay!

Oh, there's a strand of hair...

Manjoume! My white suit!

R-Right...

A white suit, a white suit...

Hey... Wait!

Which one is it?!

Manjoume! My Duel Disk!

A Duel Disk?!

Which one?!

*Written by Ed Phoenix, A Dueling Philosophy Begging the Question, "Is That So?" - An Exhibition & Handshake Event

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you !

There's still more of them...

And twenty more trucks just got here!

I see.

A promising plan, no?

Uh, well... The thing is, well...

R-Right...

Now, about our next event at the Duel Academia...

How about it? A costume show, or a magic--

Mike...

How many times must I tell you?

I'm a duelist ...

...not a comic star !

But still, dueling alone won't cut it these days!

If you don't believe in the power of dueling, our duel program is done!

Manjoume! My tea!

Huh? R-Right!

But which tea is it?

Any tea would work.

Oh, come on...

I had the electricity and windows fixed.

That, and Ed left a message.

Get this place organized.

What is this?!

Aren't these...

Are these all Duel Monsters cards?

Ed... Should I carry that suitcase while I'm at it?

I have an important card in here.

I can't let you handle it.

G-Got it...

Will all of this really make me a Pro?

Ed's got some nerve, working me this hard...

An interesting thing to say...

What do you mean?

Can't you see it?

His brains and bravery...

The grace that captivates anyone he meets at once ...

Very few duelists in the world are on Ed's level.

To be a Pro, Ed has constantly pushed himself.

You have Ed's greatness before you, but if you don't try to learn something , you will never catch up to him.

Are you sure about doing it?

Yeah.

Don't hold back.

Here we go!

Duel!

Duel!

A Life of , VS ?!

It's my turn!

I-Is that...

Thank you!

I'll root for you!

I'm so happy!

Let's stop, Ed! It's too much for your hand--

No, we can't...

A thousand... A thousand !

I have to work a thousand times harder, or else my mediocrity won't win me a duel!

Let's continue!

If you don't, you're fired, coach!

Magic... Magic...

Trap... Monster...

Magic... Magic...

If it's a thousand for him...

...it's ten -thousand for me !

Next week won't work, so we'll hold the event the week after.

He'll be on tour around then.

Get the interview ready in the meantime.

Can you get him on a flight to New York by noon?

Book an evening flight to Paris, too.

Here are the outfit and Duel Disk you'll use today.

You'll get everything else when you land.

This is a sheet with your schedule for today and the guests you'll meet.

If you can't skim it now, I'll explain it on the way.

Let's go.

We're out of time.

Sure... What got into you ?

I'm only doing my job.

I've also canceled any autograph signing and handshake events that you have coming up.

You what ?!

In the shape you're in--I mean, you should focus on fixing your hand.

All right...

You forgot your suitcase!

My hand is off-limits... You can hold it.

Are you sure?

We can't do much else, right?

Manjoume-kun ...

I wonder how he's doing right now...

Speaking of him, word is that Ed's dueling at the academy tomorrow.

Are you really takin' him on, Big Bro-saurus?

The Principal did nominate me.

I'll get some fun out of it.

Oh, that itches...

All done...

The suitcase!

It's gone!

It's gone !

This isn't happening!

You idiot !

A huge amount of money went into developing that card!

Ed, the Chairman wants to see you now .

All right...

You've pulled off quite the blunder...

Stop today's broadcast!

Ed's handling something urgent.

It's a live broadcast! It's not like we can stop it!

In that case, you'll be his stand-in!

His what ?!

For now, filling in airtime would be better for Ed.

You just need to do as I tell you.

If you do, stardom awaits!

Sorry for the delay!

For today's Duel Channel Special Match...

...our Duel Academia representative is Judai Yuki- kun!

Facing him is Ed Phoenix's best pupil...

...OjaManjoume!

--Look at that !--Looks great !

Oh, no !

--Ojama!--OjaManjoume !

Thanks! Thank you! Thank you all !

--Ojama!--OjaManjoume !

Wh-What's that about?

Is that Senior Manjoume -don ?

Thank you!

So... You're really going to use that ?

Can it!

Excuse me.

Ed, you are aware of why I sent for you, no?

That is the final D-Card the Senrigan Group exhausted all of its resources to create.

Should you happen to lose it, you will incur quite a fine for your breach of contract.

I understand.

Now, what could this be?

Manjoume?!

The Manjoume Group happens to be our rival Group.

Are you aware of what you've done?

He'll be facing Judai Yuki, and he is rumored to be the number-one student at the Duel Academia.

I am a gambler, as well.

Ed, I will give you a chance.

If that assistant of yours wins, I will overlook your failure.

But if he loses ...

...I will do what is right and drop out of the Pros.

Duel!

Duel!

My turn!

I summon Ojama Yellow in Defense Mode!

There he is! Ojama Yellow!

I place one card face-down...

...to end my turn.

My turn!

Come out! Elemental Hero Sparkman!

Next, I'll equip him with Spark g*n!

A monster hit by my Spark g*n gets its Battle Mode changed.

Fire!

But I've got zero ATK to work with!

Go, Sparkman!

I activate my Trap! Ojamarble!

When an Ojama's destroyed, I can shuffle the card back into my deck.

After, I draw two cards and discard one from my hand.

I'll discard Ojamagic...

...and due to its effect, I'll add Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black to my hand!

I end my turn!

My turn!

My Magic card, Fusion!

I'll fuse the three Ojama Brothers in my hand!

Awright, we're up now!

Here goes!

Make way for...

...Ojama King!

--He's finally out!--He's awesome!

OjaManjoume!

My Magic card, Ojamandala!

I pay of my Life Points to Special-Summon the three Ojama Brothers in my Cemetery!

Let's get 'im!

And the Magic card, Ojama Delta Hurricane!

Go, you pieces of junk!

Destroy every card on our opponent's field!

Magic Surekill...

Magic Ojama...

Magic Delta...

Magic ...Hurricane!!

Next is my Ojamuscle Magic card!

It has me destroy the Ojamas on my field to raise Ojama King's ATK by points for each one!

Go, Ojama King!

Don't mind my muscles !

Whoa!

--All right!--Awesome!

I place two cards face-down to finish my turn.

Look at Manjoume... He's gotten a lot better!

How could my deck be working so smoothly?

And I know Judai's moves like the back of my own hand now...

That's it!

While I organized the cards in the warehouse, I looked at every little thing about the cards!

Which means...

...I can win this duel!

That young one has a very amusing dueling style...

My turn!

My Magic card, Oversoul!

It Special-Summons the Sparkman in my Cemetery!

Next, I activate Double Fusion!

I'll pay of my Life to fuse twice in a row!

Show yourself, Flame Wingman!

Now!

If I use Hell Polymer right now, I'll be able to steal Judai's Flame Wingman and win this!

Manjoume.

Winning the duel won't be necessary for us now.

Winning the audience over is good enough.

There's more to this world than just winning or losing.

You're going to learn that.

And I use Flame Wingman and Sparkman for Double Fusion!

Shining Flare Wingman!

Shining Flare Wingman's ATK gets raised by points for each E-Hero in my Cemetery!

Shining sh**t!!

I activate a Trap!

What ? At this timing?!

Ojama Trio!

It Special-Summons three Ojama Tokens onto my opponent's field!

--Howdy!--Don't mind us !

Shining Flare Wingman's effect activates!

It deals damage to my opponent equal to the ATK of the monster he destroyed in battle!

OjaManjoume's great !

--He activated a useless Trap!--He's way too much!

You were pretty good today.

But still, losing just to be a star?

If that 's what you learned from Ed...

...I'm disappointed.

What's this about?!

To bear his responsibility for losing that card, Ed had everything riding on your duel today.

He what ?!

And still, you lost .

Should he lose a match, a duelist will lose everything .

Ed!

Manjoume?

You're fired.

You have to use your best card to go grab onto...

...that shining, endless dueling dream you want to come true.

Your courage has sparked up dramas of wonder...

You'll see that they won't end.

Franklin Gothic Medium Cond So, let's go make a chance out of this pinch we're in.

We'll do it... We sure will.

That rainbow bridge will get crossed over...

...and the future will be ours to hold!

Beyond that door, we're sure to find...

...that there's a dark shadow standing in our way...

...so keep your crimson flames alight!

You have to use your best card to go grab onto...

Ending Theme

...that shining, endless dueling dream you want to come true.

Franklin Gothic Medium Cond It won't matter what kind of rough times we're all in for...

...just as long as you take in the smiles of the friends you trust.

Big Bro! Manjoume-kun got fired as Ed's assistant!

Well, even worse, Ed's gone missing!

Hmm... The Pros sure are tough...

Wha ? Come on, that's kinda cold, Big Bro...

They'll be fine!

I know Manjoume and Ed'll make a comeback!

Shou, you think so, don't you?

Good point!

Next time: "The Armed Dragons VS Dragoon D-End!"

A duel to get even?

No, it's an all-out duel for those two! I can't wait!

Today's best card is the Ojama Delta Hurricane Magic card!

You can only activate it when you have Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black out!

It'll destroy every card on your opponent's field!
