02x29 - Mindwiped / Irreplaceable Days

[bunniefuu]

[girl] Hey, Romin!
How's the new single?

I'm still working on it.
It's gonna be the best one yet.

I bet it's gonna be awesome!

Good morning!

-Huh?
-How goes it, Romin?

Uh, do I know you?

Do you know me?!

Oh, Romin! Of course you do!

It's me! Your BFF!

Why would I be best friends
with a drone?

[frustrated groan]

Are you okay, Kaizo?

Hey! So is this drone yours?

He was.

Oh no, the bell!
We gotta move.

You're late again, Yuga.

I know. Sorry.

"Sorry" doesn't cut it.

Not after you failed to show up
on time every day this week.

Uh... I guess you're not gonna
let this slide like you used to.

Are you? Yeah.

-Did you say like I used to?
-Uh-huh.

Remember this one thing.

I have never let anyone get away
with breaking the rules.

Especially not a troublemaker
like you!

Now get yourself to class!

[gasping]

[theme music playing]

[music ends]

[sobbing] Why? Why?
Romin, why?

[drone continues sobbing]

[Yuga] Luke... You, Romin,
and Gavin were with me

from the very start,

when I first uploaded
Rush Duels to the world.

And when I was feeling down

and in the biggest fight
of my life,

you were all willing to risk
everything to lift me up.

You three are the best friends
anyone could ever have.

[Luke] We were...
Until their minds got wiped.

I can't believe Gavin and Romin
don't remember

that we're friends anymore.

It's not cool, bro,
not cool at all.

It isn't just them, Luke.
It's everyone.

[Asana] Oh no! R6!

You look horrible!

Who modded you?

I swear... That when I catch
whoever hurt R6 like this...

They are going to pay!

But, uh, Princess...

You're, uh, the one
who patched him up!

How dare you accuse me
of a thing like that!

[groaning]

[Asana] It'll be okay, R6.
It'll be okay.

[sighs]

Why? Why?!

Asana, Roa, even Nail.

They all got their minds erased
by Swirls.

So tell me, bro,

have any ideas on how
to get their memories back?

Sorry, Luke, I wish I did.

But I'm drawing a blank.

[Rayne] Perhaps we can help.

You see, Yuga, Rayne and I
conducted our own investigation.

Uh... And what did you find?

[Rino] Everything comes back
to Yuga Goha's Monster Reborn.

Everyone who was caught
in its blast

lost their memories.

So perhaps that card is the key

to restoring their memories
as well.

[Rayne] But one thing
does puzzle us.

Luke was also caught
in the blast.

So why didn't Luke have
his memories erased

like the others?

Huh. Come to think of it,
why didn't he?

Well, because during the duel,

I was wearing a helmet,
so it didn't affect me.

I wasn't actually wearing
a helmet.

I was thinking
I was wearing a helmet,

so maybe it had the same effect.

Mind over matter, I suppose.

Getting back on track,

we must get our hands on a copy

of Yuga Goha's Monster Reborn.

I'm down with that plan, bro,

because if Monster Reborn
can erase memories,

we might be able to use it
to un-erase them too!

If it worked for Swirls,

it's gotta work
for everyone else, right?

-Um...
-But we won't know

-until we get our hands on one.
-That's right!

-[Luke] Then let's get hoppin'!
-Romin! Why?

[all gasp]

-[phones ringing]
-[all talking at once]

I'm getting a million complaints
a minute.

I didn't even know
we had this many phones!

-[phones ringing]
-It's complete chaos.

-I can't go on like this.
-[phones ringing]

You're looking kinda busy.

Since Yuga made it easier
to create new types of duels,

we've been getting more
and more complaints!

So then,
all this craziness is my fault?

-[Yuro] No, it's not.
-What?

The duels aren't the problem.

Presidents, I have confirmed
your suspicions as requested.

As each new duel is uploaded
to our servers,

someone is goading the creators
to battle each other

to determine which type of duel
is the mightiest.

-And that someone is Yuga Goha!
-[Yuro] I knew it.

Seatbastian, how is Nail?

Not good, I'm afraid.

He doesn't remember anything
about Rush Duels.

Or you, Yuga.

He's back to his job
overseeing the Dueling Network,

as if these past few months
have never happened.

Well, bro, we have an idea
that can fix all that,

but to do so, we need to borrow
your Monster Reborn.

Monster Reborn?

I'd love to help you
but I can't.

[gasps]

When our Yuga defeated Yuo
in their duel,

he took every copy
of Monster Reborn with him

and flew away.
So there are no copies left!

[laughing triumphantly]

But I think I know a way
to get more, bro!

Follow me!

-[Yuro] Yuga!
-Hm?

-You've been awfully quiet.
-Uh...

Is something about Luke's plan
bothering you?

[crashing]

[Yuga Goha] How was Luke able
to survive my att*ck

and keep his memories?

That should have been
impossible.

I knew he would be a thr*at
to my plans.

But look
on the bright side, sir.

You did erase
his friends' memories.

[scoffs] Small consolation.

Next time we meet, I will
crush him once and for all.

But for now, there's another
I must deal with.

[whining] Romin.

[Luke] Here it is.
The card printer.

We'll be able to use it

to print out another copy
of Monster Reborn.

-[Yuga Goha] I don't think so.
-[all gasp]

Oh, my.
Is it just the four of you?

Where are the rest
of your friends?

Oh yeah, I forgot.

They're not your friends
anymore.

But they will be!

While you worry
about your former friends,

I'm here to tell you
you have bigger problems.

Guess where I am.

-[gasps]
-That's Otes' place!

Show yourself, Otes.

I have a bone to pick with you.

Because you're the cause
of all my misery.

You helped Yuga
spread Rush Duels

around the world.

Helping it grow
until it even reached the moon!

-And that, Otes, sickens me.
-[gasping]

Because the more
Rush Duels grew,

the more children fell in love
with the game,

even allowing them
to create their own rules.

And what's wrong with that?

Because I'm not in this
for the joy.

I'm here for the chaos!

The more they're happy,

the more peace and friendship
there is throughout the world.

And I will not have that!

So show yourself
so I can crush you!

[rumbling, crashing]

-[all gasp]
-Look, it's Otes!

It's not every day
that I get to meet someone

who prefers chaos
over peace.

You know I cannot allow you
to undo everything

-that I've built.
-Well, that's too bad.

Because I'm going to make it
all come crashing down!

Starting with you.

Hmm.

[Yuga Goha] Let's do this, Otes.

[tense music playing]

When I'm through with you,
you will lose everything,

including your memories!

Heh.

[both] Get ready for the Rush!

I'll go first. I draw.

I pay 1,000 life points

to activate the spell
Magic Curtain!

It Special Summons a Spellcaster
from my hand.

The mightiest of magicians.

The one and only...
Dark Magician!

[scoffs]

I set two cards.

And end my turn.

Swirls is up now.

Get ready, Otes.

I draw. Huh!

First, I summon Mechaleon
and Kamaleon.

Then I pay 300 life points
to activate Kamaleon's effect.

I send the top three cards
in my deck to the graveyard.

And if there are any
reptile monsters among them,

I can add one of them
to my hand.

I choose Armored Lizard!

Now I'll use my two monsters
to Tribute Summon!

Shed the darkness
and reveal your true might.

Electrify the air!

Ecdysis Caesarleon!

[impressed] Oh.

I activate
my Caesarleon's effect.

For every card in my graveyard,
it gains 100 att*ck points,

for a total of 400.

Then I summon Armored Lizard
and Clawmeleon to join it.

Hold it right there.

I activate my trap
Magical Hat Trick.

I can return Dark Magician
to my hand.

And draw two cards.

Furthermore, when there are
three monsters on your field,

I can Special Summon three
monsters in defense position

and hide them
underneath my hats

so you don't know what they are.

You think these silly magic
tricks will work against me?

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

to activate Clawmeleon's effect.

It not only gives Caesarleon

It deals you damage even if your
monster is in defense position.

[both gasp]

I'll set this card,
and now,

my best move is
to att*ck your Dark Magician.

But I wonder
which hat he's hiding under.

Hmm...

How about...
That one!

-[gasps]
-Looks like I guessed right.

[both gasp]

Caesarleon,
destroy Dark Magician!

Dark Disintegrator!

Ha ha, don't be so sure.

Surprise!
My Dark Magician is still alive!

What?

I activated my trap,
Magical Shift Box,

which changed which monster
was being att*cked.

-[frustrated grunt]
-In addition,

my monsters gained

until the end
of the turn.

[growling]

[all gasp]

I do not appreciate how
you find new ways to annoy me.

Just a little lesson

that you can't always get
what you want.

Because I know

what you ultimately want to do
during this duel:

play your Monster Reborn.

That card is capable
of erasing my memories,

and I believe its effect
becomes enhanced

when you play it on your
opponent's strongest monster.

Oh, I get it.

So that's why Swirls revived
Seven Roads Magician

during our duel.

So that Monster Reborn
would hit harder!

And now he's trying
to do the same thing with Otes!

Just because you know
doesn't mean you can stop me.

Well, we shall see about that.

It's my turn!

I switch Dark Magician
and Dark Magician Girl

to att*ck position.

Next, I activate this spell card
from my hand. Ha!

Since you sent another card
to my graveyard,

Caesarleon gains

That doesn't matter

because Thousand Knives
will destroy your Caesarleon.

Gah!

Now watch as my two magicians
unite their magical powers

to unlock
their ultimate strength.

[growling]

I activate Dark Resonance Burst!

Dark Magician gains

And when Dark Magician Girl
is by his side,

he gains 1,000 more!

[all gasp]

Forty-five hundred
att*ck points?

Yes!

And now it's time for me
to att*ck.

Dark Magician Girl!

Take out Armored Lizard!

Dark Burning att*ck!

[screaming]

[frustrated groan]

[Otes] Now go, Dark Magician!

Destroy Clawmeleon.

Dark Magic att*ck!

[shouts] Ha!

That ends my turn.

That was a lot of damage
you dealt me.

But it wasn't enough
to finish me off.

Hm.

And I will make you regret
giving me another chance.

It's my turn.

I draw!

I discard two reptiles
from my hand

to activate the spell card
Fire Wrath.

The total level of the two
monsters I sent to the graveyard

is seven.

So... If one of your monsters

is level seven or lower,

I can choose to destroy it.

-Ah!
-He destroyed Dark Magician!

Now when I use Monster Reborn
to revive him,

I will wipe your mind.

Then I should make sure
that doesn't happen.

[gasps]

I activate my trap card,
Dark Reincarnation.

Hmm.

It lets me retrieve a monster
from my graveyard.

Like my Dark Magician.

I can't use Monster Reborn on it
if it's not in your graveyard!

[Otes] My trap card also returns
two monsters in your graveyard

back to your deck.

You keep finding ways to stop me
from getting what I want.

But these are
just minor irritations

like a tiny little bug bite.

None of your moves are good
enough to actually stop me!

What's that?

I return a reptile
in my graveyard to my deck

to activate Camouflage Sword!

It sends Dark Magician back
to your graveyard.

[gasps]

Not only that,

your Dark Magician Girl
loses att*ck points

equal to Dark Magician's
att*ck points.

And now, for the final piece
of the puzzle

to bring your time
to an end.

[both whimper]

I activate Monster Reborn!

-You dueled well, Otes.
-[gasps]

Well enough to defeat
every duelist in the land.

Except for the one duelist
that matters!

Now join me, Dark Magician!

[groans]

It was very good
knowing you, Otes.

Too bad after this att*ck,
you won't know me!

[laughing maniacally]

[Yuga Goha continues laughing]

[Yuga Goha] Dark Magician!
End this duel!

The living is sealed in light,

and the doomed will rise
from the darkness.

-Uh...
-This is really bad, bro!

Otes, your mind is no more.

-[expl*si*n]
-[screaming]

[Otes groans]

[Yuga Goha] Buh-bye.

[laughs]

[Otes screaming]

[moaning and breathing heavily]

[anxious murmurs]

Who, uh...
Where... Am I?

-[gasps]
-Oh, no!

What am I doing here?

Why can't I remember?!

Ha ha!

My mind...

[screaming]

I did it!
His mind is completely gone,

just as I planned.

[struggling] I...

Need to go home...

I can't believe
Swirls took out Otes.

We need to print out a copy
of Monster Reborn

now more than ever.

And use it
to restore everyone's memories

before Yuga Goha
erases our memories too.

-Uh...
-What's wrong, Yuga?

I'm just worried.

What if it doesn't go
the way you think?

Because that card...

It's bad news.

So we shouldn't be messing
with it!

Then what should we do instead?

[Yuga] I... Don't know.

Well, we gotta do something,
Yuga!

[Nana] What if I solve
your problem for you?

-[Rayne] It's Nana!
-[Nana snickers]

What is she doing here?

-Something not good.
-Yes!

Because whenever she shows up,
so does trouble.

[Nana] Go, my ninjas!

-[gasps] Look out!
-I'll handle 'em.

-Move it!
-Oh!

-Stay here.
-Huh?

[both] Oh!

Whoa!

-Yah!
-[groaning]

Guess what I have?

-[gasping]
-What is that thing?

[booming]

-[Nana laughs nastily]
-Huh?

[Nana] Your card printer's
gone poof!

So you can't make
any more Monster Reborn cards!

[Nana laughs]

Not cool, bro.

[Yuga Goha]
That's only the first step.

[laughing]

To make sure you can't take
my Monster Reborns

and use them against me,

I'm destroying
all my copies as well.

[dramatic electronic music
plays]

Now there's no way you can
restore your friends' memories!

[Yuga Goha laughs triumphantly]

[theme song playing]

[music ends]
