02x24 - Turning Point

[bunniefuu]

This is the th episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series!

Starting from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters to Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V, we've made it to our th broadcast!

So from here on, with everyone, let's...

DUEL!

There's no way it's right to send the losers of this Friendship Cup to the underground labor facility!

But while saying that...

I became aware of the desire within me to obtain victory over anyone else.

And my own powerlessness...

I couldn't save Sawatari from being sent underground.

Or Gongenzaka, or Tokumatsu...

Tsukikage too...

Sa-Sawatari...

Filled with excitement, a thrilling Summon!

The cards are calling out to me.

The thrilling back and forths, the effects activating!

Look, the fun has just begun!

Charge the b*mb!

The energy is full let's start, GO!

Yes! And now to the melody of battle ringing...

Let loose your monsters! All of your passion kept within your heart!

Don't run away! Believe in these bonds!

Let loose your monsters! No matter what happens tomorrow lies right before you.

Go on let loose a huge storm! Let it fly!

Toward speed!

Zokuzoku ippai, wakuwaku shoukan,

Energy sshu ni hajimeyou, GO!

A conspiracy awaits Sawatari underground!

A conspiracy awaits Sawatari underground!

Meanwhile, Sergey is on the field!?

Meanwhile, Sergey is on the field!?

The Defeated Who Crawl In The Dirt!

I said let go of me!

Where are you taking me!?

Didn't you hear what Sakaki Yuya said before his match?

Those who lose in the Friendship Cup are sent underground.

And never return to the surface again.

Who came up with that rule?!

I don't agree to it, so it has nothing to do with me!

Whether you agree with it or not, right now you're going to be sent to a place called "Hell".

Hell!?

Those who live there will gladly teach you rules of that place.

If you want to make it out alive, you'd better listen to them.

That's right.

This is the hell of this world.

Those who lost in the world above, or gave up...

Those who are useless or abandoned all end up here.

No matter where you go in the City, it will always be a class-based society!

That remains true even in this underground facility!

Those who lose in battle fall even lower!

Dig, dig, and dig for the City!

And eventually, that place will become a new home for the Commons.

And after that, you'll all be told to dig even deeper!

No!

Huh?

I'll make it back to the surface again!

This time, I'll defeat Sakaki Yuya, and go back to being a Duel Chaser!

That's why I already gave you a chance, you know?

I said I'd send you back if you could b*at these guys.

Give me another chance!

Another chance to return to the surface!

You only get one chance!

If you want to make it back to the surface, you'll need to work your way up from the bottom!

And let me tell you, they've got their own rules down there too.

So it'll be a real challenge to make your way back up again.

If you got that, then get going!

Hold it!

Let that man go.

Oh? I was wondering who it was...

It's the Legendary Enjoy Chojiro and Dennis' partner.

That's right we never had a greeting party for you two, did we?

Want to join in now?

If you b*at all these guys in a Duel, we'll send you back to the surface immediately.

What are you calling a welcome party!?

You're just ganging up on people!

That's just bullying!

You cowards!

Cowards? Well that's quite harsh of you..

I'm giving you guys a big chance here.

Usually this would take countless years, but I'm letting you get it over with in one go!

There's no bigger chance then this!

This man took that chance with that in mind.

But he was also underestimating everyone here...

No matter how many of these Commons scum g*ng up on me, they'll never b*at someone like me from the Tops!

But now he's learned.

His own position here.

I'm sick of hearing you run your mouth!

Who the hell do you think you are?!

You called yourself the "Promoter" the last time we met.

Why are you down here?

That's right...

I guess you could call me a recycling worker for trash.

Recycling worker...?

Trash, you said?

You talking about us!?

That's right.

You were branded useless on the surface and are now Duelists that have been thrown away.

But even in this heap of garbage,

There's times when a few shining ones make their way here.

So finding them is my job!

What will you do when you find them?

You send them back to your illegal gambling arena again?!

That can happen too, but...

I send off the high quality ones to the higher-ups.

The higher-ups?

This guy's boss.

The Chief of Public Security.

Jean-Michel Roger.

The only reason I made it out of that underground arena was because Roger was feeding me info beforehand.

That's how well connected we are.

You send Duelists over to him so he turns a blind-eye to you?!

You really are a coward!

But for what purpose...

No idea.

I don't know what he's planning at least.

But I can guarantee that he wants strong Duelists.

By the way the Duelist, Sergey, taking part in the Friendship Cup was sent up to him by yours truly.

Now then let's introduce the Duelists for today's third match!

Damon Lopez!

And, Sergey Volkov!

Wait, Sergey...?

That Sergey?!

Also known as the Duelist Crusher.

Sergey was actually a well-known criminal from before I found him.

He didn't care if his opponents were pros or amateurs,

he would challenge them and crush them.

Of course, Security was on the lookout for him,

And I heard it took up to of them to arrest him.

He then crushed more Duelists at the prison...

So finally, he was sent underground.

Then, when I began his welcoming party, he crushed over other Duelists.

...!?

By himself?

I immediately contacted Roger.

And as if he knew already knew I was going to, he had me send him up as soon as possible.

It finally begins.

This is the first step to making my plan a reality.

Damon versus Sergey.

Which means...

All that remains is Kurosaki and Dennis.

I see.

I'll be taking my leave.

You don't mind since this is not a Duel involving Lancers, correct?

We do not, but,

Where are you going?

Just to get a breath of fresh air.

He's dead!?

You're telling us that Sergey has already d*ed once?!

It's just a rumor.

But Sergey is the Duelist Crusher who indiscriminately crushes his opponent.

And now that dangerous of a guy is following Roger obediently...

As if he's a completely different person.

So he can control his mind?!

That's right, you guys said something about other dimensions before, didn't you?

Didn't you guys already know about this?

That it seems like Roger has come here from a different dimension.

A different dimension?!

Well, I don't know if it's true or not.

But he has plenty of strange rumors concerning him...

That he just appeared in the City out of thin air one day...

...and in a blink of an eye, he rose up to being the head of Security.

All so he could introduce new technologies to the council.

That would make sense, when I was originally arrested, there wasn't Real Solid Vision.

Riding Duel...

Acceleration!

DUEL!

So then Roger brought this technology from a different dimension?

Then Roger is...

With that att*ck from Alien Shocktrooper, Sergey's final monster was destroyed!

Now all of Sergey's monsters have been annihilated!

How is he the Duelist Crusher?

He's so weak he's putting me to sleep!

It's no fun watching you getting beaten up!

Try fighting back some!

Not happening!

Looks like when Sergey lost his bite after getting caught by Security!

His bite, you say...

I wonder about that...

I don't mind as long as my business isn't interrupted.

If it means that I get him supporting me in my exploits,

I'll gladly find Duelists for him out of this trash heap.

If you guys won't join in on your welcoming party, then I'll be closing up shop today.

Are you fine with that?

And here I'm giving you chance to return to the surface!

You really are some spineless folk!

Boss! It's just like Gallagher says!

If you want to get back to the surface quickly, you don't have any other choice!

You guys were brought here too?!

I'm sorry!

I couldn't answer to your expectations!

We'll be your opponent!

If you're feeling that indebted to us, then take us up on it!

But we're the ones who are going to win and be accepted by Chief Roger!

What was that, you punks?!

You think I'd lose to you!?

Cut it out! All of you, just calm down!

I've heard enough!

If we win, you send us back up there, right?

Then we've just got to do that!

I'll take on any one of you!

Sawatari...!

Looks like we've got quite a lively one this time...

This looks like it'll be fun!

This is going to be a piece of cake!

I'm making it through Round for sure!

That's it! Get him!

We don't care about a weak Sergey!

Doesn't matter how strong he was, crush him!

No...

This isn't Dueling!

Enjoying other people being harmed is not dueling!

But...

I did the same thing...

That rumor is most likely true.

Roger came from the Fusion Dimension.

He's most certainly from Academia.

You've done good work, but....

I'd like you to continue gathering information from the underground.

As well as detailed reports of the status of the other Lancers.

Yes sir.

W...

Wait!

U...Umm...

Don't falter!

I want to... apologize.

To Tsukigake and Brother...

Apologize?

I was the one who was supposed to fight, but,

Tsukikage fought in my place instead...

No need to concern yourself with that. I chose Tsukikage because I had a plan.

But I...

...did something terrible to Tsukikage.

Terrible?

I wished he would lose...

I wished he would even though he fought in my place!

I...

I want to be of use to Brother as well!

Just like Tsukikage...

I want to be someone you can believe in!

And... and someday...

I look forward to seeing you battle when you have found your own resolve.

I want to show that to Tsukikage and Brother...!

And Yuya!

To Sakaki Yuya...

Umm...

What just happened...?

Just a moment ago, Damon was winning, right?

Sergey was getting beaten one-sidedly...!

T-Then why is Sergey-!?

Maybe Damon made a mistake?

It just means he still has his bite.

I guess he must be quite upset right now...

W-Well, the winner this time is Sergey!

He came back from a complete disadvantage and demolished Damon!

Now another person will be sent underground...

Who is it?

It is I.

Tsukikage?!

Why!?

What about everyone else?

No need to worry.

They are all safe.

I see, what a relief...

Then Gongenzaka and the others?

Did you all break out with Tokumatsu and Sawatari too?

No.

No...?

Don't tell me you left alone!? Why?

My objective was only to collect information from the underground.

Now that I have delivered the information to Akaba Reiji, I will return immediately and continue my mission.

Mission!?

Then Reiji had you and Reira change places on purpose...?

But... gather information!?

Does he not intend to rescue his allies at all!?

There is no way that he doesn't.

Reiji is not like those of Academia who turn people to cards for sport and do not value others' lives.

If he was I would have broken ties with him long ago.

He hates Academia.

And he has pushed himself in order to fight them!

It is unthinkable that such a man would possess a heart that would abandon his comrades!

Tsukikage...

Don't worry.

I shall let you know what happens to the others underground.

Fight with a clear mind.

And aim to win the Friendship Cup.

Not only Reiji, but Reira desires that as well.

Reira does...?

Yuya always protected me.

But I've decided now!

I won't run anymore!

I will fight!

But I can't participate in the Friendship Cup...

That's why I also..

No, not as a replacement for me, but...

I want Yuya to fight for himself, continue winning and...

And fight Jack again!

When Jack first won the Friendship Cup, he shocked everyone.

He did what no one had done before,

He proved that a Common could make their way above others!

We came here to save this world.

But no one of this dimension believes us.

They won't trust in the power of us Lancers!

In order to do that...

We have to win against Jack!

Reira said that...?

But...

I lost to Jack before...

I want to win the next time we fight, but...

I don't know how to win yet...

It seems Jack Atlas said this...

But if you are trying to accomplish something...

Do not falter!

I get it...!

In order to make them believe in the power of Lancers,

I have to b*at Jack!

I hadn't understood why no one would listen to what I had said before, but now...!

Tell Reira I said thank you!

I'll win the Friendship Cup...

And fight Jack again!

I definitely will win!

I cannot.

Huh?

Reira has already returned to the council hall.

If you wish to give send a message to him, it will have to be at another time.

Uh... Umm...

Then can you do one more thing?

Yuya...

Huh?

This is?

This is a letter from Yuya!

Yuzu.

I finally got it!

The reason why no matter how much I yelled, my voice wouldn't reach!

And the reason why Jack called my Dueling conceited!

That's because I haven't accomplished anything yet.

I need to win and become accepted like Jack, or nobody will listen to what I have to say.

I am still nobody in this world.

Even though no one recognizes me...

Even if I yell and Duel for just for myself...

Peoples hearts won't be moved!

In order to to draw them to me, have them focus on me, and smile, I need for them to accept me first!

And for that, I have to b*at Jack!

And then defeat Academia...

End the Dimension w*r...

And then we'll all go home together to where everyone is!

I promised to the Principal, Futoshi, Ayu, Tatsuya and my mother.

That I would bring you back with me!

I'll definitely save Gongenzaka and Sawatari too!

I won't abandon any of our other friends!

I'll make everyone in the world smile... and then...

Go home...

Everyone to their homelands!

Yuya...

I will win!

With my Dueling!

And bring back the true smiles and hearts of the people of this City!
