Now let's get up to speed with "yu-gi-oh d's"!
Lunaum, d's?
Is that like the team name?
Yeah.
D's is about one thing--
This right here.
We're all connected by the mark
Of the crimson dragon.
That's what ties us all together.
Hands in, people.
Starting right here and right now
We're team d's!
Allyeah!
Announcerteam d's to practice lane
For your scheduled practice run.
Oh man, I am loving the way this baby flies!
Huh?
Look out!!
Unh!
Why did you hit him, you fool?
It wasn't on purpose, guy.
I couldn't stop.
You tried to injure my teammate!
Oh, you guys are team unicorn!
I really am sorry.
I feel terrible.
Nah. I'm still in one piece, right?
Can't say the same for your duel runner though.
Look at that thing. There's no way it'll run now.
This was our fault. So what can we do?
How about this? You guys duel us right now,
And if you win, we'll call it even
And you don't have to worry
About paying for any damages.
You made it look so convincing.
Thanks to your little "accident", breo,
We're about to get a sneak peak
At yusei's strengths and weaknesses.
I summon max warrior in att*ck mode!
Go, green baboon!
att*ck max warrior with hammer club!
I release both playful possum and nimble momonga
In order to summon behemoth the king of all animals!
[Roars]
Yusei can turn this around.
Andre has three back-to-back att*cks ready to go.
He can't win this.
♪ Going fast makes me feel alive ♪
♪ My heart beats in hyper drive ♪
♪ Do you think you can win? Only if I lose ♪
♪ Just let destiny choose
♪ I can hear you breathing ♪
♪ I can see you coming
♪ I can feel the wind, it's blowing me around ♪
♪ Take a sh*t at me runnin' side by side ♪
♪ It's a blur as I go by
♪ I can hear you breathing ♪
♪ I can see you coming
♪ I can feel the wind, it's blowing me around ♪
♪ See the sun a-risin'
♪ Fire in the sky
♪ Greatness thrusts itself into our lives ♪
Andrei hope you're ready, yusei!
'Cause it's about to get wild.
Let's go! Green baboon, defender of the forest,
att*ck junk archer!
[Growls]
I activate my trap chain arrow!
This trap grants a monster being att*cked
A temporary increase in power!
That means...
That means, since junk archer successfully
Used chain arrow to destroy a monster in battle,
It can fire a counter att*ck sh*t that lowers
Another one of your monster's att*ck points
By a thousand until the end phase of your turn!
[Growls]
I have to admit, I am somewhat impressed.
Great! Not only did he avoid
Junk archer's destruction,
But he managed to temporarily cr*pple andre's behemoth.
Lunaand with behemoth weakened like that,
Andre can't att*ck junk archer anymore this turn.
Leogo team -d's!
I sure hope yusei can keep the momentum going.
Yuseinow the chain arrow effect wears off,
And junk archer's att*ck points return to normal.
Well, woo-hoo.
What incredible foresight.
Yusei removed green baboon from play using
Junk archer's ability, but he knew
The big ape would return to the field
During the end phase and that andre
Would att*ck with it first.
So he planted a trap card that would neglect
The att*ck, destroy baboon permanently,
And weaken behemoth at the same time.
Not too bad.
Well, well, I mockishly declared earlier
That there were glaring openings
In your strategy, but perhaps I was wrong.
I take it back and humbly apologize
By activating beast burial ritual!
This trap lets me draw two new cards
In exchange for sending one monster from my field
To my graveyard.
Say goodbye to nimble momonga!
Err.
Lunai'm starting to feel bad for that nimble momonga.
I'm starting to feel bad for yusei.
As you may have guessed, when a beast-type monster of mine
Is destroyed, I can pay a thousand life points
To get green baboon out of my graveyard
And back on my field!
That guy loves his monkey.
Yes, well, unfortunately, that monkey can now
Obliterate junk archer.
Wait, do you think andre knew he would need
That trap when he placed it?
Of course he knew, breo.
In that last battle, if it had been business as usual for andre,
He would've att*cked with behemoth instead of green baboon
Considering behemoth is so much stronger.
But by anticipating yusei's thinking,
Andre was able to think a few steps ahead of him.
So he turned the tables on chain arrow.
He basically used yusei's trap as an opportunity to draw two new cards.
It reminds me of his duel at the atlantis tournament,
When he was able to win only using trap cards.
That was great.
Andre is better than anyone I know
At reading his opponent,
Predicting their every move,
And then using those moves to pave
The road to victory.
Time to fight!
Green baboon, take out junk archer!
[Roars]
And now, with junk archer out of the picture,
Behemoth moves in to att*ck you directly!
This should shake things up!
Now I'll place one card facedown and end my turn!
And chain arrow's effect wears off,
Returning behemoth's att*ck points to normal!
I was planning on finishing you off
This round, but you somehow
Managed to survive!
So make your next turn count,
Or you're gonna find yourself at a dead end.
Leoalright-- here comes yusei's big counterattack!
It's my turn now!
I summon shield wing in defense mode!
[Thinking] this is all I have to go with.
I hope this works.
I place two cards facedown and end my turn.
Huh? That's all he's gonna do?
It's not always big monsters
And explosions, leo.
He needs to play it safe.
Exactly. Good defense is the key.
Yusei is accustomed to battling me on a daily basis.
Why is he struggling so much against this joker?
Maybe this joker is better than you, jack.
Pretend he didn't say that!
Look, shield wing is practically a wall,
That bird can usually withstand at least two att*cks.
Even if andre summons a third monster next turn,
He won't be able to att*ck yusei directly!
Ha! He's basically giving us
A "how to defeat yusei" handbook
For when the tournament starts.
It's an informative read, but andre needs to
Wrap it up.
If he stretches this thing out much longer,
They're gonna get suspicious.
This is it. No more going easy on this guy.
It's my turn!
I summon nimble momonga!
Then I summon one beast-type monster
From my hand to my graveyard
In order to summon the egotistical ape
Tuner monster to the field!
Egotistical ape's level increases by the level
Of the monster that was sent
To the graveyard to summon it!
Uh-oh, andre's got four monsters.
Two to chip away at shield wing's defense points,
A third one to dish out
The finishing blow, leaving the field wide open.
For monster number four to move in,
att*ck directly, and send yusei home.
This is bad! This is bad!
Yuseibefore you go any further,
I reveal one of my trap cards--
It's shield coat!
When you summon a monster more powerful than
A monster I have in defense mode,
I can use shield coat to double my monster's defense points!
Yes! Now it'll take a lot more than
A freaky flying squirrel and a funny-looking monkey
To destroy shield wing!
Nice try, but my level egotistical ape
Is tuning my level nimble momonga!
You didn't think I was going to try to one-two
Your monster with those weak critters, did you?
I'm gonna let the king of the jungle
Take your shield wing out.
Say hello to naturia gaodrake!
[Roars]
Computernaturia gaodrake is a level beast-type
Monster with att*ck points and defense points.
What is that, a dandelion?
He totally knew that yusei had a trap card
Ready that would boost his monster's defense points.
He was just waiting for him to play it.
But by combining two of his monsters,
He's now one monster shy of winning.
Baboon! Get in there and clobber yusei's shield wing!
[Screech]
Alright, behemoth-- your turn!
And now, to seal the deal--
Naturia gaodrake pounces in for a third att*ck!
Yusei's completely vulnerable now.
The good news is-- andre doesn't have
Any more monsters he can att*ck him with.
My predator is still on the hunt, yusei..
I activate howl of the wild!
When a beast-type monster of mine destroys
Your monster in battle, howl of the wild can
Slam you for points of damage
For every beast on my field!
Aw, no.
"Aw no" is right!
See with three beasts on my field you'll be
Taking points of damage!
I place one card facedown and end my turn!
Leoguess andre didn't need another monster
To att*ck with.
Yeah. He's got yusei on the ropes.
This guy is awesome.
He reminds me of me in a lot of ways.
[Thinking] this battle's amazing.
I know I'm new at turbo dueling,
But will I ever be able to duel at this level?
I hope someday I'll have the chance.
It's my turn!
Nice.
I summon debris dragon!
And when I manage to bring debris dragon
To my field, I can then summon another monster
From my graveyard as long as it has less
Than att*ck points, and shield wing
Fits the bill perfectly!
Now don't bother mocking shield wing's strength,
'Cause it won't be sticking around.
You see. Since I'm rocking speed counters right now,
I have the ability to activate the vision wind speed spell from my hand!
And with that, I can summon one
Level -or-below monster from my graveyard!
Welcome back, speed warrior!
And now my level speed warrior
And my level shield wing will both get a tuning
From my level debris dragon!
I synchro summon your defeat!
Now come forth, stardust dragon!
He played stardust dragon!!
Look. His top monster has finally showed up,
And it can't even compete with green baboon.
What's he gonna do with that wrangly reptile?
Now! Stardust dragon att*ck green baboon with cosmic flare!
Have you lost your mind?
Green baboon has more att*ck points, yusei.
That's why I'm activating the synchro strike trap!
With this card, for every monster that was used
To summon it, stardust dragon gains
An additional att*ck points.
So now it has four thousand att*ck points!?
That's right!
Aw, yeah!
Now who's low on life points!?
This is great, 'cause yusei's got
Six speed counters right now,
So all he needs is a speed spell
And he can drain the rest of andre's
Life points faster than leo drains a milkshake.
Whoa. Check out the play-by-play coming from akiza!
You're sounding like a real turbo duelist!
Heh heh.
, , ...
Now I'm activating the effect of speed world !
With this card you take points of damage
For every speed spell that I'm currently holding in my hand!
[Buzzer]
What is this?
It looks like our practice time is up.
I guess the duel is a draw.
Huh?
Nice dueling with you.
Yeah, um, nice dueling with you.
We'll have to settle this in the preliminaries.
See ya' on the track.
That was sweet!
You had that guy!
You totally would've won that!
Not quite.
He still had a facedown card on his field.
And based on the way he was dueling,
I wouldn't be surprised if that card was a game changer.
So even at that point, you think he was
A step ahead of you?
Probably.
So you would've gone in and he would've
Counterattacked and that woulda been that.
Who knows, but those guys are good.
It's gonna take everything we've got
To b*at them in the tournament.
I'm not afraid of those louts.
They will play into my hand,
And then I'll crush them like the little bugs that they are.
Yeah, we'll take them down!
Team unicorn is gonna be team stinky corn!
It'll take "everything they've got" to b*at team unicorn?
I have news for them--
If they think those "prepsters" are a challenge,
They should just forfeit now.
Maybe something bad will happen to one of them
That forces them to forfeit.
Yeah. Maybe so.
[All laughing]
Ooh, nice! That's his fastest time yet!
Sherryi could've beaten that!
Sherry?
I thought I would swing by and say bonjour
Since we won't be meeting in the preliminaries.
They've put us in different divisions.
Do you know who you're up against in the first round?
Some bunch calling themselves the cheerleading squad.
I'm not worried about them.
I am, however, worried about some
Of the other participants.
I fear they may be working with iliaster.
You should be careful, akiza.
In fact, all of you should.
Yuseisame to you, sherry.
Don't go chasing after danger.
I am not "chasing after danger," yusei.
It is danger that is chasing me.
And speaking of which, you and I should discuss
What we saw the other day at the headquarters
Of the public security bureau.
Until then...
Keep your wits about you, yusei fudo,
And be ready for anything!
Au revoir!
Crowmartha! Blister.
Sorry we're late.
Traffic was a pain.
Goodness sake! It's so nice to see your faces!
Come on in!
Blisterwhere's yusei? I thought he was coming with you.
Oh. Yeah, well, no dice.
He decided to rain check this visit.
He wanted to do some more practice runs
Down at the pier.
Allow me to translate that for you.
He wanted to spend more time with akiza
Down at the pier.
At least he's doing something constructive.
I heard from zora that a certain someone can't
Seem to hold down a job!
Hmm? I reject that statement,
And I won't comment on it.
Huh?
I just realized how quiet it is.
The kids not here?
It's time to come out, you guys!
[Giggling]
What's goin' on, ya' little brats?
Were you hiding from me?
[Laughing]
Huh? Did--did you guys make this?
They stayed up 'til a.m.
I couldn't get them to go to bed.
They wanted to finish it before you got here.
We're gonna make it like a flag and bring it
To the tournament and cheer really loud for you
And everything!
So if you're ever feeling all rumbled...
Just look up and see this!
You guys, it's-- I don't know what to say.
This is, like, the nicest thing that--
Come here, you little nerds.
Thanks, guys. You're the best.
Marthayou know, jack, maybe if you smiled more often,
Somebody would make something like that for you.
What's that supposed to mean!?
[Laughter]
Smells great.
I'm surprised crow's not begging yet.
He took off about an hour ago to get some
Practice runs in.
There we go. Hug that curve!
Aaah!
[Screaming]
Oh, man. What just happened?
Aah!
Uh, no way.
I dislocated my shoulder?
Uh, yuh. Should take
About a month to fully heal, maybe two.
You can't be serious?
The preliminaries are in three days.
I can duel, right?
I mean, I'm fine, I feel perfect,
Never felt better.
You can't duel.
I'm beggin' you doc!
I'll eat my veggies, I'll do yoga,
Whatever you want!
I've gotta have the chance to win
That tournament with my friends.
Come on. Help me make this happen, doc.
Tell me I can still duel.
I would if ya' could, but ya' can't!
And I am not about to sign off on your release form.
You're just a quack!
I don't need your quacky permission,
And I don't need your bandages!
Aah!
Stop that.
Why? Why now?
What am I supposed to tell the little nerds!?
So just the two of us, then?
According to the tournament rules,
If three people enter, the team gets
Twelve-thousand life points, but if it's only
Two people, then the team only gets eight-thousand life points.
Wow. That's a really big handicap.
Should we just withdraw now?
No. I mean, we've come this far.
We can't back down now.
I'll tell you what we can't do--
We can't enter knowing we don't have a chance.
I duel to win or I don't duel at all, yusei.
Akizaum, boys?
We're all part of team d's, aren't we?
Let me duel with you.
Really?
Are you sure you're up for it?
Mm-hmm.
That's not the worst idea I've ever heard.
I mean, she's a sharp duelist.
She knows your strategies.
I've still got a lot to learn about turbo dueling.
I'm well aware of that.
But like you're always saying, yusei,
We're all connected by a bond.
We can do this together.
Hey! Where ya' goin', crow?
What's it matter? I'm clearly replaceable.
Who cares where I go!?
[Thinking] am I ready for this?
Come on, akiza stop asking yourself that.
You have to be ready for jack and yusei.
[Cell phone ringing]
Huh?
Yuseino sign of crow or his duel runner.
I guess he didn't come home last night.
I hope he's okay.
He seemed so upset when he left.
He's just playing up the drama like the manchild
He is, but he's our manchild.
So let's go find him!
No sign of akiza this morning either.
I guess she was all talk.
Don't hesitate!
Take those curves with full force,
The pavement can smell fear.
Hunh! How dare they make us worry!
I wonder if they've been practicing all night?
Alright! You are gonna tear the road up, akiza.
You are gonna own-it out there!
Look like we've got a new teammate, jack.
Announcerduelists young and old,
Professional and amateur alike!
This is it!
The main event!
The biggest thing to hit new domino city--
It's the world racing grand prix!
Now, welcome to the first preliminary round team d's!
