Yuseinow let's get up to speed with yu-gi-oh d's.
Mcwe've reached the end of the semifinals.
It all comes down to what promises
To be an incredible duel.
In their respective pits, the last duelists are waiting.
Who will emerge triumphant?
Yusei fudo?
Or will it be halldor?
Halldordivinity rises.
Behold, the ruler of all things.
I synchro summon the ultimate nordic god odin
Father of the aesir.
Yuseiamazing.
He's got three god cards.
This will take everything I've got.
Lesterthe battle between team ragnarok and team d's
Is better than we could have ever hoped.
Just look at the circuit surge.
At this rate, once we reach the final match
The connection will be teetering on the edge of full completion
And so will our master plan.
Yuseii now synchro summon
The majestic star dragon!
Jackyes, yusei.
Crowhe's actually done it.
He's harnessed the power of the crimson dragon.
Halldori'll now place a card facedown and end my turn.
Which means we're at the end phase
And my nordic gods return.
So rise thor, loki,
And of course, mighty odin.
I play my trap, wave rebound.
Mcsimply sensational.
Due to wave rebound
All of team ragnarok's nordic gods
Will be waving their last goodbyes.
And now, halldor will take damage
Equal to the att*ck points
Of all three of those clobbering conquerors.
I activate a trap from my graveyard.
From your graveyard?
Halldorthat's correct, gjallarhorn.
[Horn blares]
Yusei, prepare to feel
The full wrath of the nordic gods.

[Sustained chord fades]
[Horn blares]
Sorry, yusei, but, due to gjallarhorn,
Your wave rebound won't be making any waves at all.
You see, gjallarhorn puts a stop to any effect
That prevents the revival of my nordic gods.
But there's moreat the end of my third turn,
All the monsters I have on the field are removed from play.
And you get hit with the total of their att*ck points.
No way.
Brunothat means at the end phase of every turn,
Those three nordic gods will return to the b*ttlefield.
This gjallarhorn really does sound the alarm for yusei.
Especially if you add up the att*ck points
Of those three gods.
Yusei could be taking over , points as direct damage.
Uh?
This is just awful.
Yusei just went from the guy to b*at to the guy getting b*at.
Akizano joke, just look.
Now then, since thor has returned,
You take points of damage.
[Electricity crackles]
[Yusei grunts]
And since loki has returned, I can now add one trap card
In my graveyard to my hand.
And the card I'll be selecting, is the trapodin's eye.
You know what that means.
[Yusei grunts]
Broderjust look at yusei's face
I do believe he realizes how dire the situation is, heh, heh.
Draganhe'd better.
Halldor's never lost
Once gjallarhorn's been thrown.
Next, thanks to odin and his special ability,
I get to draw one card from my deck.
Ah, very nice.
Now, I'll end my turn. And since I have,
Gjallarhorn's counter becomes one.
A counter that is the count down to your demise, yusei.
Especially since, at this very moment,
The effect of your monster chain trap is snapped.
Your move, yusei.
Perhaps your last.
Mcunbelievable.
Team d's most dynamic duelist, yusei fudo,
Has fiercely fought off team ragnarok.
But it's all been for naught.
And now, you'd better believe
The rest of team d's stomachs are in knots.
After all, this duel will be over
Unless yusei can muster a miracle comeback.
[Yusei thinking]as long as halldor has odin's eye out,
He'll be able to see
My cards and right through my strategies.
But wait.
Yusei, when a god is on the field,
Nothing can negate the gaze of odin's eye.
And since that's the case, it activates.
Now, once per turn, by negating the special abilities of a god
I'm allowed to look at a facedown card in your hand
Or on your field.
Yuseimaybe I can use this to my advantage.
After all, what you see isn't always what you get.
My turn.
[Computer beeps]
And first I'm summoning stardust phantom.
When phantom is destroyed and sent to the graveyard
I can summon stardust dragon from my grave in defense mode.
Furthermore, if I then remove stardust phantom from play
I can then lower stardust dragon's defense points by .
And make it invincible to any att*cks you dare throw its way.
I then end my turn with a facedown.
I see what you're planning
I'll even break it down for you step by step.
Since phantom's ability activates from the graveyard,
Thor won't be able to negate it.
[Yusei gasps]
Then, if my three nordic gods att*ck.
You'll simply revive stardust dragon from your graveyard
And be able to survive the onslaught
Due to his hardy defense.
In fact, thanks to stardust phantom's ability
You can survive my gods' att*cks three times
And still keep stardust dragon.
Yuseithat's right.
However, you forgot one thing.
It's my turn and my speed counter is up to .
And so that means
So by removing speed counters,
I can destroy one card on the field.
[Computer beeps]
The card that I choose to destroy is that phantom.
And since you have, phantom's ability now activates.
So what happens next is just as you called it.
I can summon stardust dragon from my graveyard.
[Stardust dragon roars]
Now thor, att*ck
[Thor growls]
I play phantom's second ability.
Just as you predicted.
By removing phantom from play
And lowering stardust's defense points by ,
He can't be destroyed in battle.
Halldorgo thunderbolt bludgeon.
Now your turn, loki.
Go vanity blast.
[Electricity crackling]
Once again, I activate phantom's ability.
[Computer beeps]
[Electricity crackling]
Halldorand that's the last time you will, yusei.
Don't you see ?
Stardust dragon doesn't have enough defense points
To save himself and stick around.
You were one move short, due to my speed counters.
And now, blast that stardust dragon off the field, odin.
[Metal clanking]
Halldorgo sacred scepter slash.
[Echoing explosions]
I play stronghold guardian.
Since my monster in defense mode has been att*cked
By banishing stronghold, stardust dragon
Gains defense points until this turn's end phase.
Now, phantom, activate your ability.
Oh no.
[Stardust dragon cries in pain]
Thanks for taking some sh*ts for the team, stardust.
Well, I have to admit to you, yusei
I am ever so impressed with how resourceful you have become.
You've been down so many times but never quite out.
But that will now change.
I summon jormungandr the nordic serpent to your field.
My field?
Huh?
What's this?
What's going on here ?
Halldori'll tell you what's going on here, yusei.
When a god is on my field, I can summon jormungandr from my hand
To your field in defense mode.
Then, if jormungandr switches
To att*ck mode, you take points of damage.
Next, I activate my facedown
The trap gleipnir, the fetters of fenrir.
Due to gleipnir, when a god is on my field,
I can add fenrir the nordic wolf from my deck to my hand.
And then, again, thanks to the gods
I can summon fenrir from my hand to your field in defense mode.
And I'm not just crying wolf.
Rise, my pet.
Now, when your turn's battle phase begins,
Fenrir switches all monsters on your field
In defense to att*ck mode.
Also from this point on, both players take damage
From any battle involving fenrir.
Say what?
That is one tough card combo.
Leowait, how's this a combo?
Because, leo, during the battle phase
Of yusei's next turn, fenrir forces monsters
From defense to offense, which means that...
Which means that jormungandr switches to offense
And yusei takes points of damage.
Oh, no! What?
Halldornext I place one card facedown and end my turn.
And since I have, gjallarhorn's counter becomes two.
[Horn blares]
This is bad.
Gjallarhorn's counter has just one spot left.
Oh, yusei.
And unless he does something soon
About jormungandr and fenrir
He won't even last until that spot.
Yuseithe card halldor just placed facedown
Has to be odin's eye.
Hmm.
Yuseii'll have to play this carefully.
My turn now.
[Computer blips]
I play the trap, hope for escape.
Now, since I have less life points than you, halldor,
By getting rid of of them,
I'm then allowed to draw one card
For every -point difference in our life points.
And since the difference between us is more than ,
I'm wed to draw three cards from my deck.
Mcwhoa, yusei is taking a titanic risk here.
If he can capture the cards he covets, will it be worth it?
We'll see.
After all, he has now just life points left.
Two hundred?
So pretty much a strong gust of wind
Could, like, end this duel now.
Oh no.
Yusei.
The only good news is that
Halldor's speed counter is still at one.
Which means there's no way he can play an effect
That'll take out yusei's last points.
That's true.
But since on halldor's next draw,
Gjallarhorn's effect will activate,
Yusei has just one last move to win this and it begins now.
Yuseitime for me to rev things up.
Yuseiit's my turn, halldor.
And I summon life gardna.
[Computer noises]
And with that done, I'm now gonna summon another monster
Simply by removing one that I already have from play.
So now, jormungandr, make way for different dimension sprite.
[Explosions]
But wait.
All right.
That move changes everything.
Yeah, now halldor's nordic combo wont work against yusei.
Different dimension sprite, now rise and tune with life gardna.
Behold, as both power and speed surge towards each other
And collide to create... The synchro.
The tuner.
The mighty formula synchron.
[Explosions]
A synchro tuner?
What's yusei planning?
Next I play life gardna's ability
Because gardna was used to synchro summon,
I now gain life points.
Now I'll play formula synchron's ability.
With it, I'm allowed to draw one extra card
From my deck every turn.
The key to winning this duel now isn't just skill,
It's speed.
And I just got a whole bunch of it.
Let's rev... It... Up!
Could it be?
No way.
I tune level-two formula synchron
With my level-eight stardust dragon.
Let the spirit of all duel monsters now spread its wings
And soar to new heights.
Where it can be transformed by the winds of destiny.
Where it can become all-powerful.
Go accel synchro.
[Explosions]
What in the world?
Guh.
[Explosions]
Yuseiappear, sh**ting star dragon.
[sh**ting star dragon roars]
sh**ting star dragon?
That's yusei's most ultimate monster.
Now from my hand, I'm playing the speed spell star force.
With this card, so long as I have
Four or more speed counters,
I can remove one monster on my field from play,
And then I can choose to give one monster on my field
A super-charged power-up until this turn's end phase.
So the monster I'm removing is fenrir.
[Explosions]
[Glass shatters]
And since fenrir is level ,
I get to power up my sh**ting star dragon by .
[Computer blips]
att*ck points?
This could pose a problem.
A bigger problem than you realize, halldor.
Because now sh**ting star dragon's ability activates
Which means I get to check the top five cards on my deck
For tuner monsters.
I have three.
And I'm afraid for you,
That means I'm now allowed to wage three separate att*cks.
Now then, let's get to it.
sh**ting star dragon att*ck!
[Explosions]
[Halldor groans]
[Explosions]
[Halldor groans]
[Roar]
[Halldor groans]
Halldoryou will pay for that, yusei.
Uh-oh, halldor's turn.
Yeah, and he sure looks mad.
Like a bug on my duel runner windshield,
You just keep hanging on, refusing to accept that
Sooner or later, you're going to hit the pavement.
The only thing that's hitting the pavement
Are these two face downs.
Which means it is the end phase of this turn, and because it is,
Guess who's back.
That's right, thor has returned.
Which means you take points of damage.
[Electricity crackles]
[Yusei groans]
Yusei!
His points are back down to now.
Halldorand now loki is back.
So I get to add a trap card in my graveyard back to my hand.
And as you can see, the trap card that I've selected,
Is god's shackles gleipnir.
Finally, odin returns to the field,
Letting me draw one card from my deck.
But that's not the end of it, don't forget,
Now that we're at the turn's end phase,
Your dragon's att*ck points return to normal.
And now it's my turn.
Mcwhat a back and forth battle this has turned out to be.
It's anyone's guess what happens next.
Anyone's guess?
It's clear as a bell what will happen.
Or perhaps I ought to say, clear as a horn.
That's right, gjallarhorn will soon blare.
And since it'll be for the third time, yusei's out of time.
Think yusei has what it takes to win, crow?
You know what, jack, I think we're all about to find out.
You know what, jack, I think we're all about to find out.
Yuseiit all comes down to this last round.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Bring it on, halldor.
Aren't you peppy for someone who is about to lose.
If I lose,
At least I'll know I did everything I could to win.
Oh, please.
That's the way failures speak.
But I suppose that fits, because you have failed.
And now I'm going to make it official.
Then, at long last, all of the world will
Recognize something as an ironclad fact.
And that is...
The nordic gods can defeat all who oppose them,
Even your fledgling synchros.
Observe.
I summon tyr of the nordic champions.
The nordic gods cannot be affected
By spells, traps or special abilities.
Next I activate the trap card odin's eye.
Not that card.
Now he'll see right through yusei's hand again.
Halldorremember, yusei, you can't negate the activation
Of odin's eye when a god is on the field.
Of course, I have to negate my god's abilities
In order to use odin's eye, but that's a small price to pay.
Next up, I play tyr's ability.
Now by releasing tyr, any att*cks you were
Thinking of throwing my way, won't do my gods any harm.
In other words, the penalty that comes
With using odin's eye is now gone.
I love it when he saves his best moves for last.
Now then, by the divine power of odin's eye,
Let's see that facedown.
Just what I was hoping for.
I activate my trap, trick mirror.
Due to this card, when your trap activates,
I can activate its effect as though it was my own.
And the trap effect that I'll be taking
Is that of odin's eye.
Oh no!
And this means your god's abilities are negated once more.
Halldorfine, what's it matter?
Even without his ability, odin has att*ck points.
Which is more than enough to take down
Your sh**ting star dragon.
But don't take my word for it, see for yourself.
Odin, att*ck!
I play sh**ting star dragon's ability.
Now by removing sh**ting star dragon from play
During your turn, the att*ck of one of your monsters is negated.
So what?
Your field is now empty, yusei.
I'll simply have one of my other two gods att*ck you now.
I play the trap zero force.
Now, halldor, because my monster left the field,
Your three nordic gods are about to lose
All of the power and might they each possess.
That can't be.
[Computer beeps]
But if their points are zero
They can no longer att*ck.
And don't forget, at the end phase of this turn,
The effect of your gjallarhorn trap activates.
And that means all monsters on your field,
Will be removed from play, and that I take damage equal
To the combined att*ck points of those monsters.
However, since the att*ck points of your three gods,
Now total just zero,
I won't be taking any damage at all.
No way.
Not fair.
Yusei's outmaneuvered the gods.
And since the gods have been removed from play,
Halldor can't bring them back
Allhuh?
Now, that we've reached this turn's end phase,
sh**ting star dragon rises again.
And with his rise, comes your fall.
Now go, sh**ting star.
att*ck!
[Explosions]
[Halldor cries in pain]
We're failures.
[Brodor growls]
Mcsimply sensational.
The duel is over.
Yusei has done it.
And now, it's off to the finals for team d's.
