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

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

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

Goodbye, Judai!A Tearful Graduation Ceremony

With that, we will now conduct our Graduation Ceremony and our Graduation Duel Awards Ceremony, won't we?

I will first disclose the end results of the Graduation Duels, no?

—It's time...—I wonder who's in first ...

Yet, in all onestà , I don't want to disclose them!

If I were to disclose these...

...our Graduation Ceremony will just have to go on, will it not?!

I simply cannot allow it!

Professor Chronos!

I...

I will put my foot down on this graduation!

Let me go! Let me go , I say!

Good grief...

Well, I suppose I will announce them instead.

The highest-ranked student in this year's Graduation Duels...

Oh? I see three names here...

Asuka Tenjouin-kun !

Jun Manjoume-kun !

And Shou Marufuji-kun !

—Congrats!—Awesome!—Figures !

However, we have a problem...

We only have one replica of the deck owned by Yugi Mutou, the King of Duelists, to award you...

In that case, I'll turn it down.

Me, too.

So will I.

Huh? You can, but...

It is said to be the best deck in the world ...

It just dawned on us...

The best deck out there for us is the deck that we've always been using.

Exactly; it isn't our deck, so it won't do much for us.

It should be one filled with our memories...

All right.

Then, let us move onto our Graduation Ceremony.

As our Student Body Representative...

...Tyranno Kenzan-kun will give our farewell address!

R-Right!

Just relax.

Right-saurus...

To all our graduates...

Today, I offer you a heartfelt congratulations-don ...

Looking back... every one of you upperclassmen...

You've all done so much to look after us underclassmen -saurus!

We owe you a lot ...

Don ... Saurus...

A lot -don !!

Kenzan-kun ...

That's why...

Don ! Saurus!

Congrats on graduatin'-saurus!

But then...

They got kicked out just like that ...

Let us move onto the response.

I call on our Valedictorian, Asuka Tenjouin-kun !

Right!

Today, on behalf of the graduates, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks for this amazing graduation ceremony.

The time has really flown by, when three years ago...

...we walked through the gates of this academy, each of us with our own goals in mind.

And then, it was at this Duel Academia that we met many friends and professors...

...and we learned a lot of what we know through dueling.

Like rooting for each other, the occasional fight aside...

...as friends who've spent so much time together.

Our duels with each other taught us about our own strengths and weaknesses, and to sympathize with our opponents.

Even if we go our separate ways after today...

...or we live far from each other...

...we will always be friends.

The bonds that we've formed as duelists here are eternal .

I'm sure that we will have hardships and happiness to look forward to.

When they come, I know I'll remember...

The life I had here... The friends I made here.

I have faith that they will always lead me in the right direction.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, Duel Academia.

And... goodbye.

"Goodbye," huh?

Asuka Tenjouin-kun !

Yes!

I congratulate your graduation.

Thank you very much.

Fubuki Tenjouin-kun !

Yes!

Congratulations.

—Oh, no!—Don't leave us!

Jun Manjoume-kun !

Yes!

Congratulations.

—Thunder!—Manjoume Thunder!

Shou Marufuji-kun !

Y-Yes!

I congratulate your graduation.

Thank you so much!

And now, Judai Yuki-kun !

Yes!

I congratulate your graduation!

Oh, man is this good-don !

Senior Marufuji, come dig in quick, or I'll scarf it all down-saurus!

Jeez, Kenzan-kun ...

These are the graduates' last moments here...

No sense of taste , I guess...

There's plenty of taste in these -don !

Hey, Shou... Have you seen Tenjouin-kun ?

Huh? Oh, yeah, she's still...

—Oh , Fubuki!—Oh , Fubuki!

Miss Asuka looks beautiful !

Tenjouin-kun ! Nice one, Master!

Come on, Brother... This is embarrassing ...

Well, why not ? It is your last night here!

Attention, graduates!

For all of you, this will be your final night here at the Duel Academia.

So, mingle with your friends as you see fit.

And now, a toast to our Duel Academia!

Cheers!!

So, you are going to...

You really are graduating...

You're still on that?

Look at the bright side-don , Professor Chronos!

As long as I'm around, you'll never run out of something to worry about, Professor-saurus!

In that case, I will be ruined , will I not?

N-No, you won't-don !

Why are you two...

What about your own Graduation Ceremonies?

The graduation seasons over at our campuses are different than yours.

We had the time, so we figured we could watch over your Graduation Ceremony.

Hmph... How nice of you...

Congrats on graduating!

Fujiwara! Are you feeling better now?

Yeah...

I really am sorry, everyone.

How can I apologize?

I'm sure that my being here isn't something you would allow, but...

What are you talking about? This is where you should be!

A place where every student's growth and mistakes are all accepted.

Our alma mater does it best...

That's our Duel Academia, isn't it?

Thanks, Fubuki...

Thanks, everyone...

Oh, yeah! Where's Big Bro-saurus?

Oh, my Judai... Is he late again ?

Leave it to Judai...

From start to finish, he's as careless as they come...

You're off, then- nya?

Yeah... My time here's come and gone.

What do you plan to do now- nya?

We've got a power that links us humans to spirits.

And there might be people out there in the world who'll need our help.

We're going on a journey to go find them.

Then, we really might not be able to meet again- nya...

Over the last year, Judai might be the one who changed the most .

We all change eventually.

That's what becoming an adult is about.

I wonder if Judai's already gone...

He is someone who hates being somber.

Still, that does sound like Judai.

Always popping up when you least expect it, blowing through our youth like a whirlwind...

Maybe, but...

...we'll see him again.

Yeah... I know it.

Winged Kuriboh, what's wrong?

Huh? Wait, follow you?

Winged Kuriboh...

This is where the Yugi's deck is on display...

I've been expecting you, Judai Yuki-kun .

But you're ...

Now, what do you say we start our true Graduation Duel?

Our true Graduation Duel?

Right.

We'll see if you've grown into a duelist who deserves to have the card that I handed you three years ago.

That's right... It all started three years ago...

Getting this card is what started my life at the academy...

You've gotten very good over the last three years.

You've also overcome a lot of ordeals to grow into a promising young man.

However, there's one thing you've lost to do it.

Something I've lost ?

Right—an important thing that you aren't even aware of.

It's something you'll have to recover.

Now, Judai-kun , go and hold up your Winged Kuriboh card over that deck.

Do it, and you'll meet an opponent who can recover what you've lost: the best duelist to ever live...

That card will show you the way.

The best duelist? One besides you ?

You'll know once you go—trust me.

Right!

Where am I?

*EXTRA: Battle City V Is Over! Yugi Mutou- kun Wins It All!!

What year am I even in right now?

It hasn't really changed from when I came before, though...

Grandpa!

I'm off!

I'm so sorry!

N-No... I should be...

Hey, you're... the Yugi!

Huh? You've heard of me?

The best duelist I had waiting for me...

Did he mean...

Oh, I...

I got this card from you...

...and this card was what brought me here.

I gave you that card?

Winged Kuriboh...

It looks a lot like my Kuriboh...

Still, I don't remember handing that card to...

You didn't happen to come here to duel me, did you?

See, I had a dream yesterday...

...and in my dream, Kuriboh said that a duelist would be coming here...

...and that I'd have to battle him.

Are you the duelist?

If you wouldn't mind, Yugi-san !

What's going on here?

How is there no one around today?

Time isn't even moving...

I get it!

I'm in a space in time made for me and Yugi-san !

I have a strange feeling about you.

As if you're a lot like me somehow...

Maybe we just give off the same duelist aura?

I'd expect no less from the King of Duelists, Yugi Mutou...

It seems as if he's aware of my presence...

Yeah...

Now, his deck may pose a thr*at...

I know... All the intense energy I felt from that deck...

His deck holds the power of the three Mythic Gods.

No doubt about it...

Standing in front of me is the owner of the best deck ever made: the Yugi!

Feeling nervous?

You're joking , right?

The best deck... The best duelist...

If that didn't even fire me up, I'd be one poser of a duelist!

I'm going to make this my real Graduation Duel!

Duel!

Duel!

My turn! I draw!

My Magic Card, Fusion!

It'll fuse the Burstlady and Featherman in my hand!

Show yourself! Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!

I set one card face-down to end my turn!

Elemental Heroes? I've never seen those cards!

Yugi-san ! This is my Elemental Hero Deck!

Elemental Heroes...

To think I'd see a duelist using that deck...

It's my turn!

I draw!

And I'll...

...summon my Holy Elf in Defense Mode!

And then ...

...comes my Instant Magic, Dimension Magic!

When a Spellcaster-Type monster's on my field, it has me offer one monster as a sacrifice to Special-Summon...

...a new Spellcaster-Type monster from my hand!

I'll offer Holy Elf as a sacrifice!

Show yourself!

Black Magician!

So, that's Black Magician in the flesh ?!

I'm getting goosebumps !

Dimension Magic's effect activates!

It destroys one monster on the field!

Flame Wingman!

Fool! Is this the time to admire his Black Magician?!

I know !

And I still have an att*ck left!

Black Magician! Go for a direct att*ck!

Black Magic!!

I activate my Trap!

att*ck Nullification!

That was close ...

I place two cards face-down...

...and end my turn!

Not bad, Judai- kun... You avoided my two-part att*ck...

Amazing...

He might seem gentle, but he'll get on the offensive all at once...

If it wasn't for att*ck Nullification, I'd have taken a lot of damage...

A hidden fighting spirit... An unshakable confidence...

This guy's not just a relic—he really is good!

My turn! I draw!

And I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in Defense Mode!

Bubbleman's effect activates!

When he's successfully summoned while I've got no other cards on my field...

...I can draw two cards from my deck!

I set three cards face-down...

...ending my turn!

Here I come!

It's my turn! I draw!

I'll summon my Meddling Elf Swordsman!

Then, I use my Magic card, Thousand Knives!

When I have a Black Magician on my field...

...it destroys one opposing monster!

Good... Now, you're all out of monsters, Judai-kun .

Now, go!

Black Magician! Give Judai-kun a direct att*ck!

I activate a Trap!

A Hero Appears!

When my opponent fires an att*ck, it makes them choose a random card from my hand...

...and if it's a monster, it gets summoned!

My hand's down to one !

Show yourself...

...Elemental Hero Neos!

By the looks of it, I'd say that he's the ace of your deck...

Yugi-san ...

If that Black Magician is the symbol of your deck, the symbol of my deck...

...would be my Elemental Hero Neos!

Yugi-san ! Our match is just getting started!

Bring it on, Judai-kun !

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... So, you left without saying goodbye after all...

Well, Big Bro is as Big Bro does -don !

Yeah, I'm sure he's roped someone into dueling him right about now!

Yep-saurus!

Senior Marufuji, you'd better mail me-don !

Right! Kenzan-kun , take care of yourself!

Next time: "The True Graduation Duel! Judai VS The Legendary Duelist!"

Shou... Kenzan...

I'm as fired up as ever right now!

I wish you knew how stoked I am!

Guys, I know we'll meet again!

Gotcha!

We've summoned a lot of cards over the years, huh?

We've summoned a lot of cards over the years, huh?

Sure have!

Sure have!

Sure have!

Still, the real best card out there might just lie in all of our decks!

Still, the real best card out there might just lie in all of our decks!

You should tell us what your best card is, too!
