ARC-V

Last Time’s Egao Count: 154

Yusho: I see. Akaba Reiji is personally leading the Lancers…
Actually, I also left the Standard Dimension because of Akaba Reiji.

Yuzu: Eh? So you and Akaba Reiji know each other…

Yuzu: But why?

Narrator: The Arc Area Project.
In order to carry out their plan to create a utopia,
The Academia of the Fusion Dimension
Has pushed Heartland in the Xyz Dimension to the brink of destruction.

(Opening Sequence)

Yusho: Three years ago, Akaba Reiji crossed the dimensions to search for his father.

Reiji: We’re not done talking yet!
Invasion? Annihilation? What’s going on here!?

Leo: Everything is for the sake of merging every world into one.

Reiji: This place is…

Yusho: Reiji was sent back to the Standard Dimension by his father.
After investigating the scant amount of research his father left behind,
He reached a conclusion.

Reiji: In short, Father is trying to control the world, which has been divided into four dimensions, through Dueling.

Reiji: I had to…

Reiji: No. I removed Father from his position,
And became the President of Leo Corporation,
So that I can stop his ambition.

Reiji: I want you to lead the Lancers unit that will help me achieve that goal!

Yusho: He conveyed his desire, and his pain, to me.
However, since Akaba Leo and I developed the Real Solid Vision System and Action Dueling together, we can talk on equal ground.

Yusho: Thinking that,
I forced my way to the Interdimensional Travel Device that Reiji’s research team developed, and used it, despite their protest.
In order to get to Academia.

Yuzu: That’s when…

Yusho: Yes.
That was the day of my championship match against Strong Ishijima.

Yuya: My dad will definitely come!
Until then, I’ll be your opponent!

Yoko: Enough! Stop it, Yuya!

Yuzu: I have to tell this to Yuya.
You were fighting all on your own in order to save everyone.

Yusho: However, I did not arrive in Academia.
When I noticed it,
I was in another dimension.
There, I met Duelists who use Xyz Monsters,
And taught them that Dueling should be used to bring smiles to everyone. (Egao Count: 154+1=155)
However, before long, Academia launched an attack on that peaceful city.

Female Student: Instructor.
Instructor. It’s time for your treatment.

Yusho: Okay.

Yuzu: Uncle. His leg is…

Asuka: Yeah. It’s because of Edo.

Yuzu: Asuka-san. Why is Academia waging the Interdimensional War?

Asuka: Academia’s students fight in order to create a utopia where everyone can live in peace.

Yuzu: Heh?

Asuka: The name of that plan is Arc Area Project.

Yuzu: Arc Area Project?

Asuka: The Professor’s plan to unite the four dimensions in order to create a new utopia.

Asuka: However, in reality…
Academia is invading other dimensions in order to control them.

Asuka: One year ago,
The invasion was officially announced,
And Edo was selected as the Commander-in-Chief.

Asuka: I wasn’t selected to participate in the first army,
But I intended to join the army the moment I receive an order.

Asuka: They taught us that the Arc Area Project is just, and will save the world.
And I was confident with the Dueling skill I’ve polished for that purpose, as well.

Asuka: I’ll leave a change of clothes right here, OK?

Yuzu: Asuka-san. Thank you very much.

Asuka: Take your time.

Academia Student: The first army has returned!
Our heroes have triumphantly returned!

Osiris Student 1: How many people did you card?

Osiris Student 2: I got 25 of them! What about you?

Osiris Student 1: I got 30! Hehe!
I won!

Osiris Student 3: That was pretty fun!
It feels just like a hunting game!

Osiris Student 4: I can’t wait for the next deployment order!

Asuka: What’s wrong? What happened?
The others are all so cheerful, and they’re even laughing.

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: There’s no way I can laugh.
I can’t believe they’re casually laughing after doing those things!

Two Students: Ahahahaha!

Asuka: Those things?

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: They turn people…into cards!

Asuka: But it’s a battle. There’s no avoiding it.
Sometimes, doing the right thing involves making sacrifices,
I’m sure the enemy Duelists also tried their hardest…

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: It’s not just the Duelists!

Asuka: Eh?

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: We received orders on that battlefield.
In order to gain total control over the Xyz Dimension,
We have to turn everyone into cards, including civilians!

Asuka: Huh…
Even the civilians?

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: Yes. Even the defenseless people.
We turned many civilians into cards as they scream for mercy.
Even the children, women, and old people…All of them.

(Evil Academia laugh track)

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: Is that really the right thing to do?

Asuka: Heh?

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: I don’t want to be involved in that again!
Come on, let’s run away together!

Asuka: Run away?

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: I don’t want you to do those awful things, either!

Asuka: I had faith in Academia and the Professor.
I thought that uniting the four dimensions through the Arc Area Project was something wonderful.
I thought that if they are united, a utopia where everyone can live happily can be created.
Maybe I should try to convince that girl.
However…

Juvenile Officer: Even if you lack loyalty,
You can still contribute to the Arc Area Project.

Asuka: Contribute?

Soon-to-be-Carded Student: Stay back!

(Soon-to-be-Carded Student has now evolved into Carded Student)

Asuka: What!?

Juvenile Officers: AAAHHH!

Yuzu: That’s when you met him.

Asuka: Yeah. But the instructor then collapsed immediately afterward.

Yuzu: Eh? Did Edo injure him?

Asuka: Yeah. He fought against Edo in the Xyz Dimension,
And was then sent across the dimensions.

Asuka: He told me a lot of things.
About what happened in the Xyz Dimension.
Every kid in this place has been sent to the Xyz Dimension,
And they all bear emotional wounds in their hearts.
I want to teach them all about his ideals to make people smile through Dueling. (Egao Count: 155+1=156)
So I created You Show School together with him.

Asuka: My dream is to help as many people as possible escape from Academia…
And eventually, even the Academia will be…

Yuzu: Asuka-san. I’ll help you achieve your dream!
I’ll do whatever I can…

You Show Student: Asuka-san! We’ve got big trouble!

Asuka: What’s wrong?

You Show Student 1: While we were trying to protect this kid,
We were discovered by Academia!

You Show Student 2: Our friends are…!

Yuri: To think that you’ll stay here to avenge your friend instead of running away…
How beautiful your friendship is.
But…
I’m sure you’re going to regret this.

{ZETSUBOU Commercial. Brb}

Yuri: Well, no matter.
I’ve been ordered to turn anyone who opposes Academia into cards, after all.

Yuri: Why don’t we all give it everything we got?
I mean, I’m just killing time here.
So, let’s have some fun at least.

DUEL!

Yuri: I summon Predator Plant - Skid Drosera from my hand.
Then, I activate the Continuous Magic, Predator Planter,
And Special Summon Predator Plant - Moray Nepenthes, with its effects negated.
All players cannot attack on their first turn.
So, I’ll end my turn here.

Roid User: I activate the Magic Card, Polymerization, from my hand!
I fuse Steamroid, Drillroid, and Submarineroid from my hand!
Fusion Summon!
Come forth!
Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill!

Yuri: You’re a traitor who had deserted from Academia, right?
And yet, you still shamelessly brought out a Fusion Monster.

Roid User: Shut up!
It is the Academia that should be ashamed!
I don’t want to use Dueling to make people sad anymore!
I’ve sworn to use Dueling to do the right thing!

Yuri: The right thing?

Roid User: Duels are supposed to bring smiles to everyone! (Egao Count: 156+1=157)
I’ll end my turn with this!

Yuri: Bring smiles to everyone…( Egao Count: 157+1=158)
AHAHAHAHA!
There’s no way that’s going to work out!
A Duel is a battle, after all!
Only the winner gets to smile! (Egao Count: 158+1=159)
Ahahahaha!

Koala User: Our teacher said this.

Yuri: Hmm?

Koala User: A true Duel is supposed to bring smiles to both winners and losers, and the spectators as well! (Egao Count: 159+1=160)
It’s my turn!
I’ll also activate the Magic Card, Polymerization, from my hand!
I’ll fuse Big Koala and Death Kangaroo from my hand!
Fusion Summon!
Come forth! Master of Oz!

Koala User: Dueling has the power to bring smiles to everyone! (Egao Count: 160+1=161)
I’ll end my turn here!

Yuri: Hmm...?
If that’s the case,
You’d better smile when I turn you into a card. (Egao Count: 161+1=162)
I’m not planning to lose, after all.

Ojama User: Don’t be delusional!
How are you going to win a 1 vs 5 match?
We’ll beat you while you’re laughing like an idiot!

Ojama User: It’s my turn!
I’ll also activate the Magic Card, Polymerization, from my hand!
I fuse Ojama Green, Ojama Yellow, and Ojama Black from my hand!
Fusion Summon!
Come forth! Ojama King!

Yuri: AHAHAHAHA!
Come on…
What is that…!?

Ojama User: See? You’re laughing!

Ojama User: As long as Ojama King is face-up on the field,
You cannot use three of your Monster Card Zones!

Yuri: This thing is unpleasant in terms of both appearance and effect.

Blue VWXYZ Dude: Let’s do this!

Red VWXYZ Dude: Right!
It’s my turn!
I summon V-Tiger Jet from my hand!
Then, I activate the Continuous Magic, Frontline Base!
With its effect, I can Special Summon W-Wing Catapult from my hand!

Yuri: Oh? You’re not going to use a Fusion card?

Red VWXYZ Dude: Even if I don’t use one, I can still Fusion Summon!
I banish V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult from the field,
And Fusion Summon VW-Tiger Catapult!

Yuri: Hmmm…
So there are people who can do something like this.
You’re much more entertaining than the previous guy, for sure.

Ojama User: Grrr…

Red VWXYZ Dude: Laugh while you can!
I set one card facedown and end my turn!

Blue VWXYZ Dude: It’s my turn!
I summon X-Head Cannon!
Then, I activate the Continuous Magic, Frontline Base!
I Special Summon Y-Dragon Head from my hand!
Then, I activate the Magic Card, Foolish Burial!
I send Z-Metal Caterpillar from my deck to the graveyard.
Then, from my hand, I activate the Magic Card, Iron Call!
I Special Summon the Z-Metal Caterpillar I sent to the graveyard, with its monster effects negated!
With this, I now have all three X, Y, and Z monsters on my field!
I banish these three monsters, and Fusion Summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon!

Yuri: You’re not half-bad, either.
There’s a big difference compared to that other guy!

Ojama User: Grrr…

Blue VWXYZ Dude: Your banters end here!
I activate the monster effect of XYZ-Dragon Cannon!
I send one card from my hand to the graveyard,
And destroy Moray Nepenthes!

Yuri: Oh my…
I thought that I was going to be safe since no one can attack on their first turn,
But he got me with an effect.

Red VWXYZ Dude: There’s more!
This isn’t all!
We two brothers are going to show you our true power!

Red VWXYZ Dude: I activate the Trap Card, Fellow's Gift!
I’ll hand over the control of my VW-Tiger Catapult to my brother!

Blue VWXYZ Dude: Thank you, Big Bro.
I’ll banish the VW-Tiger Catapult I received, and my XYZ-Dragon Cannon!
In order to Fusion Summon V to Z-Dragon Catapult Cannon!

Yuri: Whoa. Amazing.
You siblings are really in sync with one another.

Blue VWXYZ Dude: V to Z-Dragon Catapult Cannon’s monster effect!
Once per turn, I can banish one card from my opponent’s field!
I’ll banish Skid Drosera!

Blue VWXYZ Dude: How about that?
With this, you’ve lost all the monsters you’ve summoned!

Yuri: Ahahaha!
At this moment, Skid Drosera’s monster effect activates!
When this card leaves the field,
It’ll place a Predator Counter on all of my opponents’ Special Summoned monsters!

Red VWXYZ Dude: What!?

Yuri: Come on, end your turn already.
It’s my turn to have some fun!

Blue VWXYZ Dude: I…I end my turn!

Yuri: Then, I’ll go.
It’s my turn!
At this moment, because of the cost of the Continuous Magic, Predator Planter,
I’ll have to pay 800 Life Points.
Then, I activate its effect!
I Special Summon Moray Nepenthes from the graveyard with its effects negated!
Then, I summon Predator Plant - Fly Hell from my hand!

Yuri: Well then, it’s finally my turn.

Yuri: From my hand, I activate the Magic Card, Polymerization.
I fuse Fly Hell and Moray Nepenthes together!
My two beautiful flowers that tempt insects with enchanting fragrance!
Become one now,
And let the hell locked beneath your petals give birth to a new nightmare!
Fusion Summon!
Come forth!
The venomous dragon bearing ravenous fangs!
Level-8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!

You Show Students: AAAAH!?

Yuri: Starve Venom Fusion Dragon’s monster effect!
Until the end of the turn, this card will gain ATK equal to the combined ATK of all Special Summoned monsters on my opponent’s field!

Roid User: What!?

Koala User: All Special Summoned…!

Blue VWXYZ Dude: Monsters!?

Red VWXYZ Dude: 13000 ATK!?

Yuri: Once per turn, Starve Venom can gain the effect of an opposing monster.
I’m going to use your monster’s effect!

Roid User: My Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill!?

Yuri: Yup.
It can inflict piercing damage when it battles monsters in defense position, after all.

Yuri: Now then, let’s get started, shall we?
Let’s start with you, who have no monsters!

Yuri: Go! Attack him directly!
Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!

Red VWXYZ Dude: AAAAHHHH!

Yuri: Then, I send Predator Plant - Skid Drosera from my hand to the graveyard.
And activate its monster effect!
Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, who just battled, has to attack all opposing monsters that have Predator Counters during this turn, once each!

Yuri: Go! Attack Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill!

Roid User: AAAAHHHH!

Yuri: Attack Master of Oz!

Koala User: AAAAHHHH!

Yuri: Destroy Ojama King!

Ojama User: AAAAHHHH!

Yuri: Lastly, attack V to Z-Dragon Catapult Cannon!

Blue VWXYZ Dude: AAAAHHHH!

Yuri: Well, that was quick.
I didn’t get to kill a whole lot of time.

Yuri: Hmm? Oh?
So you’re here as well.

Asuka: Do you know him?

Yuzu: Yeah. That guy’s the one who’s been chasing after me in both the Standard Dimension and the Synchro Dimension.

Yuri: Just referring to me as “that guy” is rude, you know.
FYI, I have a proper name. It’s Yuri.
So just call me that. Yuzu. Hehe…
But I’m glad I ran into you.
I’m sure the Professor will be happy as well.
Now then, come with me.

Yugo: You bastard!
I won’t let you get away this time!

Asuka: Eh? He disappeared!?

Yugo: Where!? Where did he run off to!?
Huh?

Yuzu: Yugo…Why are you here?

Yugo: Right back at you…You’re still alive?
Yuzu! Yuzu!

Yugo: Yuzu!

Yugo: I thought for sure that you were sent flying by that Sergey guy, and went to the afterlife…

Yuzu: Don’t say such ominous stuff!

Asuka: What’s going on?

Yugo: More importantly, do you know, Yuzu?
It seems like Academia is here.
Not to mention that Rin is there!

Yuzu: It’s not just Rin.
Ruri and Serena are also at Academia.

Yugo: Serena, too?

Yuzu: Yeah. She was taken away.
Right before me and Yuya…

Leo: According to the report sent by Noro of the expeditionary army,
Some Duelists who use Pendulum Summon, the Lancers, have appeared in Heartland.
In order for the Arc Area Project to progress smoothly, they have to be eliminated.
Why don’t you two go there?

Grace: I guess Noroma-chan is just too incompetent, and Edo is still lacking in combat experience.

(Translator’s note: Noroma means “blockhead” in Japanese)

Gloria: Yeah. I guess our strength is needed after all.

Grace: Ehehe. I’m looking forward to this.

(Preview for Episode 107)

Sayaka: Shun risked his life in a Duel to tell him how important comrades are!
That’s why I’ll definitely bring Kaito back!

Grace: It’s unthinkable that a civilian would wander around Heartland by themselves, right?

Gloria: Then maybe she’s a Lancer? This must be a good omen, huh? Grace?

Grace: Before we head to the General Headquarters, why don’t we get a present for Edo and Noroma-chan, Gloria-neesan?

Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:
The Duel-Starved Amazoness
The fun has just begun!
