02x27 - Counting Cards / Rush Duel Sealed Away

[bunniefuu]

[moans]

[dramatic music]

[laughs]

[Yuga Goha] Looks like Yuga's in
no shape to continue our duel.

That's why I'm taking over
and continuing the duel

in his place!

'Cause I can't let you go
running around willy-nilly

taking out everyone
you think is a thr*at!

Oh?

Is that why you think I'm here?

[laughs] Oh no, no, no, no.

Yuga's the one who lured me here

by downloading my duel account

-onto that data stick.
-[gasps]

He tricked me into thinking he
was going to delete my account

even though
he never intended to.

Yeah, that's not his style.

'Cause unlike you,
he's actually nice.

Even though I don't have to
worry about my account anymore,

I do still see a thr*at
to my reign.

And that thr*at is standing
right in front of me.

A thr*at that must be
eliminated!

But I'm not standing
in front of him.

[scoffs] He means Luke!

[gasps]

[upbeat electronic theme music]

We're picking up
where Yuga left off, so it's...

my turn!

[laughs]
Oh, wow!

This is awesome, bro!
So, so awesome!

You think...
he's happy with his draw?

Oh, maybe a little bit, yeah.

[Luke] Here I go!

[intense dramatic music]

Break through the atmosphere
at supersonic speed!

Ignite your engines to launch
an unbreakable bond!

Nothing will stop my highway
to triumph!

I Maximum Summon!

[laughs]

Arise, Supreme Skystream
Magnum Overlord!

-Oh. Huh?
-[Luke giggles excitedly]

This is my very first
Maximum summon ever!

Focus, Luke!

There's still lots
of dueling to do!

You know,
I wouldn't exactly say that.

Because Magnum Overlord
has an effect that can deal

at least a hundred points
of damage.

That means this duel
is as good as over.

Not if I stop Luke
from using that effect!

I activate Storming Wrath!

It stops Magnum Overlord
from using its effect!

[gasps] No way!

I guess that this duel
isn't over.

Hm...

Time for Plan B!

Magnum Overlord has enough
att*ck points to win!

So after I set these
two cards...

Magnum Overlord,

blast Predator Gunleon!

I send the top five cards
in my deck to the graveyard

to activate the trap
Circle of Wrath!

This trap stops your att*ck,
so my life points are safe!

But I have to return
Predator Gunleon

to the bottom of my deck.

[grumbles]

-[Nail] Interesting.
-Huh?

I believe Luke
is going to win this duel.

-Huh?
-Seriously, bro?

I've been watching you duel
quite attentively, Yuga Goha.

And I've noticed that you've had
to use a high number of cards

throughout the course
of this duel.

After all, that is the only way
you could survive this long.

However, that comes at a cost.

If my count is correct,
throughout this duel,

you have played a total
of 38 cards.

-[all gasp]
-Since a standard deck

only contains 40 cards,

you can't draw a full hand
on your next turn.

[alarm blares]

-[all gasp]
-Nail's right.

He's going to run out of cards
in his deck.

Exactly!

And when your deck's
out of cards,

you automatically lose!

-Yeah, you're right. I guess.
-Luke, what's the matter?

I can't really put
my finger on it... but...

something feels... off.

[Yuga Goha] That's because Nail
isn't as smart as he thinks.

-[gasps]
-[grunts]

A standard deck
might contain 40 cards,

but there's nothing standard
about my game!

-No way.
-He drew five cards?

But that's impossible!

How are you able to do that?

Simple really.

Because my deck has sixty cards!

A 60-card deck!?

-[all gasp]
-Is that even allowed?

Allow me to explain!

Most duelists put 40 cards
into their decks.

But according to
the official duel rules,

your deck can have
up to 60 cards!

Then why doesn't everybody
make a deck out of 60 cards?

Then they would have
more cards to play.

[Gavin]
Well, yes, you're right,

but if you have more cards
in your deck,

the chances of drawing the
exact card you need is reduced.

That would make it
more difficult

to execute your strategies.

Then why would he choose to play
such a humongo deck?

It can't be just to make sure
he doesn't run out of cards.

-That's too paranoid!
-Yeah.

He's gotta have another
reason, but what?

If there are no other arguments
with taking my turn,

I'll start it with this!

-Oh no!
-I activate Monster Reborn!

[whimpering]

[gasping]

It revives Sevens Road Magician
from your graveyard

on to my field!

[grunts]

-Aww, man. That is not good.
-Not cool, bro!

Who gave you permission
to take Yuga's monster?!

Then I guess
you'll get even more mad

if I use Sevens Road Magician's
effect

without your
permission too!

Since there are six Attributes
in my graveyard,

he gains 1800 att*ck points!

Elemental Road!

-[grunts]
-Next, I summon Mechaleon

and use it
and my other monster

to Tribute Summon!

Shed the darkness
and reveal your true might!

Electrify the air!

Ecdysis Caesarleon!

[gasps]

Due to Ecdysis Caesarleon's
effect,

it gains 100 att*ck points
for every card

that's in my graveyard.

Since there are 41 cards
in my graveyard,

it gains 4100 att*ck points!

Its att*ck points
just got turbo-boosted!


So that's why
he's using a 60-card deck!

The more cards he has,
the stronger Caesarleon gets.

After I set these two cards,

Sevens Road Magician,
att*ck and destroy

Supreme Skystream
Magnum Overlord!

The living is sealed in light

and the doomed will rise
from the darkness.

[grunting]

One more att*ck
and this duel's over!

-This isn't good!
-Watch out, Luke!

Ecdysis Caesarleon, att*ck him
directly and end the duel!

Now your mind is no more.

[zapping]

[rumbling explosions]

[all grunting]

When Monster Reborn
is played,

everyone in its blast radius
loses their memories!

[sinister chuckling]

[intense dramatic music]

[Luke] Huh?

What's going on?

I think I was in the middle
of a Rush Duel...

but what's a Rush Duel?

I feel like it's something
really important,

something that changed my life

because it gave me friends
that I'd have forever.

But who were they again?

Oh, why can't I remember...
anything?

Oh well. If I can't remember,

I guess it was never
that important to begin with.

[ominous music]

[moaning]

[sinister laugh]

[Yuga Goha] I win.

This duel is over!

Luke lost the duel.

He lost more than that!

He lost all his memories too!

[Luke] What? I did?

-He's okay!
-But how?

Before your att*ck hit me,
I returned Mirror Force

from my graveyard to my deck
to activate Enchanted Mirror!

And its effect swallowed up
your monster's att*ck!

But you shouldn't
have known how to do that

because you should've
forgotten how to Rush Duel!

Well, I did.

I actually did lose
all my memories...

but then they found me!

-Huh?
-Um, is that how memories work?

Apparently so...
at least for Luke.

[Yuro] Whatever the reason,
Luke's still in this duel!

I end my turn.

[moaning softly]

All right then.

It's my turn!

Now that I'm getting another
cr*ck at ya,

I'm gonna make sure to win
this duel, Swirls!

But how are you going to do that

when there's no way for you
to get past my Caesarleon?

I'll figure it out.

Oh yeah, Caesarleon still has

Face it, there's no way you can
win against my strategy!

You're going to fall
just like Yuga!

-Huh?
-[strains, giggles]

Trust me, I got this.

Because I still have
a strategy to pull this off.

[Luke] What did Yuga see
that I'm not seeing?

Maybe I should try
thinking like him.

He always tries to get
the most out of his cards,

even the ones
in the graveyard.

[intense dramatic music]

That's it!
I know what you were gonna do!

[gasping]

And it all begins with a new
Sevens Road monster!

I summon Sevens Road Enchanter!

-Wow!
-That is totally tubular!

I send the top card in my deck
to the graveyard

in order to activate
my Enchanter's effect!

He yoinks Sevens Road Magician
back into my hand!

Welcome back, bro!

I can also draw a card.

Now I return three Spellcasters
in my graveyard to my deck

to activate Recovery Force
and draw another card!

He's gotta do more than that
if he wants to win.

[Luke] I summon Poet Fairy
and Whispering Fairy!

Then I activate
Poet Fairy's effect!

By returning three monsters in
my graveyard back to my deck,

she returns three monsters
in your graveyard

back to your deck!

-[exclaims softly]
-[Luke] Poetic Symmetry!

But that's not all!

If I have two Spellcasters
on my field

that are higher than Level 1,

Poet Fairy returns three more
monsters back to your deck.

The fewer monsters
he has in his graveyard,

the weaker his Caesarleon
will become.

That's a smart strategy!

And I couldn't have pulled it
off without Yuga and his cards!

Caesarleon still has a boatload
of att*ck points!

But I'm not done yet!

I use Poet Fairy and Sevens Road
Enchanter to Tribute Summon!

A wall, a mountain,

not even a planet
can block my way!

Nothing will stop my highway
to victory!

Here comes
Sevens Road Magician!

[all gasping]

Now I summon
Cyc the Child of Wind

and use his effect
to retrieve Poet Fairy

from my graveyard!

And then I tribute Cyc

to Tribute Summon
Necromaid Nana!

[moans] Nana...

Next, by sending her
to the graveyard,

her effect returns
Lightning Voltcondor to my deck

and I get to draw two cards!

I summon Poet Fairy again
and activate her effect!

Six more cards
leave your graveyard!

So your Caesarleon
loses 600 more att*ck points!

That monster is getting weaker
and weaker!

That's right, bro!

Next I'll use Poet Fairy

to Tribute Summon
Pyro Magician!

Since I have three Spellcasters
on my field,

I can activate
Spell Shattering Spear!

It not only returns
a Spellcaster

in my graveyard to my hand,

it returns your set card
to your hand too!

Now I'll discard a card
from my hand

to activate
Whispering Fairy's effect!

She returns two more monsters
from your graveyard

back to your deck!

Its att*ck points keep dropping!

[Luke] I activate
Pyro Magician's effect

to draw two new cards!

Now I summon Poet Fairy
for a third time!

Again?!

They do say third time's
the charm.

[Luke]
You know what to do, Poet Fairy!

Poetic Symmetry!

It's down to 4400!

I return every spell card
in my graveyard

back to my deck to play this!


You have to return all the spell
cards in your graveyard

back to your deck too!

Then we each draw a card
from our decks!

-Fusion!
-That's perfect!

Well, almost perfect

because if you're not holding
a copy of the card

I just drew in your hand,

I take a thousand points
of damage.

[pained groaning]

Luke took a huge hit,

but so did Caesarleon's
att*ck points!

It's down to 3000!

Now get ready, Swirls!

I summon Swordsman of Roadstar!

And with that,
it's Fusion time!

-[dramatic music]
-[laughs triumphantly]

I activate Fusion!

This one's for Yuga!

I Fusion Summon!

-[intense dramatic music]
-[zapping]

The mystic hero rises to spread
the legend of the Sevens

through the universe!

Wield the blade of destiny,

Sevens Paladin!

[chuckles]

[grunts]

That is one powerful monster!

But Luke still needs to find a
way to pump up his att*ck points

because my brother still has
the stronger monster.

Well then, let me put an end
to that idea with this,

Wrath of Light!

If your monster has at least

-it can't att*ck!
-[gasps]

In order to defeat our brother,
Luke needs a monster

with at least

But if it's over 3000,
he's not allowed to att*ck!

How can Luke
get out of this dilemma?

Two words: He can't!

-[Luke] You sure?
-Hm?

Because Sevens Paladin here
has an effect

that might just get me
out of this mess!

But first I gotta set that up
by tributing Poet Fairy

to Tribute Summon
Hydro Magician.

Now I send the top card in
my deck to the graveyard

and activate
my Sevens Paladin's effect!

He returns one card in my
graveyard back to my deck,

and then I get to draw a card!

-Harvest of Fate!
-[gasps]

There's only one card
that can turn this duel around

but if I don't draw it,
I'm done for!

-Yeah!
-All right, bro!

I summon Poet Fairy
back to my field!

[laughs]

No, this can't be!

[Luke] Yeah, it can!

Poet Fairy,
activate your effect!

Take three more cards
out of his graveyard!

Luke did it!

Caesarleon is now weaker
than Sevens Paladin!

This can't be happening!

Due to Monster Reborn,

you shouldn't know
how to Rush Duel anymore!

-But I still do.
-[grunts]

You know why?

Well, do you?
'Cause I don't.

[sighs]

[Yuga Goha] I knew it.

Luke may seem silly,
but there's something about him

that makes him dangerous.

[grunts] I was supposed to win
this duel and erase your mind!

Well, then, you did
a really bad job of that.

Sevens Paladin, att*ck
and destroy his Caesarleon!

Sevens Sword Slash!

[grunts]

[tinkling softly]

[grunts loudly]

[intense dramatic music]

[grunts, screams]

-Hey, Swirls!
-[gasps]

That was a great duel!

Let me help you up, bro.

-[dramatic music]
-Huh?

I don't need your help.

Swirls?

You may have won today,

but know that next time
will not end the same.

This defeat was just
a small blip in my plans.

But in the end, I will rain
chaos upon the world

and turn your lives upside down!

You've been warned!

Swirls!

Wait!

-[grunting]
-Finally!

Huh?

You okay?

-Gavin.
-A little help here?

-Hang in there, Roa.
-There, there.

[sighs]

-Oh, good!
-What happened?

-Where am I?
-[gasps]

Now that's odd!

What am I doing on this roof?

-Who are you all?
-[gasps]

Can someone please tell me
what's going on?

[moans softly]

-So weird.
-How curious.

-I'm outta here.
-I have to get back to school!

Hey, what's up with them?

I think their minds
have been wiped.

'Cause when Yuga Goha
played Monster Reborn,

his blast hit all of 'em.

That must've erased
all their memories

like it did with Yuo!

You mean they
don't remember anything?

They don't remember
that they're my friends?

[ominous music]

[moans, gasps]

Yuga, you're awake!

How are you feeling?

A little tired,
but a lot better.

-Thanks for asking.
-That's cool, bro!

Oh, the duel!
What happened?

I took over for ya
and got the Win!

That's awesome, Luke!

Yeah, but it woulda been easier
if you didn't try to solve

every single problem
on your own.

You can count on your friends
to help ya out, ya know.

You're right.

Oh, what about Yuga Goha?

Well, he left.

But I'm sure
we're gonna see him again.

I'm sure we will. [gasps]

Gavin and Romin
didn't come with you?

Umm... I think Gavin
had band practice

and Romin had to run
the school or something?

That's cool.

But forget that!
You wanna grab some grub?

I'm starvin'!

You read my mind, Luke!

-[chuckles nervously]
-[chuckles]

-[Luke groans]
-Huh?

[dramatic music]

[upbeat electronic theme music]
