SAILING MY SEA!

Last Time’s Egao Count: 143

Yuya-to: Xyz Summon!

Yuya: Come forth! Rank-4!

Yuto: Dark Rebellion…

Yuya-to: Xyz Dragon!

Kaito: T-This is…
It can’t be…

Yuto: That’s right! It’s me, Kaito!
If you see my ace monster, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon,
You should be able to remember!

Yuto: During our time at Duel School,
Shun and I fought against you time and time again.
There’s no way you would forget!

Kaito: You…You can’t be…Yuto?

Captain Falcon: He’s Yuya.
He’s my comrade.

Kaito: Shun.

Sayaka: That’s right, Kaito!
Shun brought back a few allies with him!

Allen: And there’s three of them.
Right now, if we gain even one ally, it would be extremely helpful,
So I’m grateful for that.

Sayaka: You should return, too, Kaito!
And together, we can once again…

Kaito: I refuse!
I’ve already cut my ties with you people!

Yuya: Kaito…

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

(Opening Sequence)

Allen: Here we are. This is our hideout.

Allen: Well then, let us introduce ourselves.

Allen: I’m Kozuki Allen.
And the girl who is serving soup over there is Sasayama Sayaka.
She’s a member of the Resistance.

Sayaka: Here you go.

Allen: Hey, Sayaka!
It’s not your shift today, so you don’t have to go out of your way to help us.

Sayaka: Yeah, but…

Allen: It’d be meaningless if you worked yourself to death to take care of other people!
We don’t know how long our battle against Academia is going to last.
How many times do I have to tell you to take better care of yourself?

Sayaka: Yeah, I got it.
Okay, here you go.

Allen: Sorry about it.
She’s just a shy person.
She has no ill will against you fellas.

SAWATARI-SAN: Getting a bit chummy there, aren’t we?
We only just met today, and you’re already going “you fellas” with me…?

GONGENZAKA: Hey!

Yuya: Those people are…

Captain Falcon: These three told us your location.

Captain Falcon: They said they want to thank you for showing them the true meaning of Dueling while you were fighting against Academia’s soldiers.

Yuya: But I wasn’t able to open up Kaito’s heart through Dueling.
When I brought out Dark Rebellion…
Yuto’s monster, I’m sure his heart was shaken, but…

Yuto: What he conveyed was his intense rage toward Academia.

Allen: You’re called Yuya, right?

Yuya: Huh?

Allen: You really do look like him.
I thought that Yuto was coming back for a sec.

SAWATARI-SAN: Who’s this Yuto guy?

GONGENZAKA: I’ve heard it from Yuzu a while ago.
He’s a guy who looks just like Yuya, and she ran into him a few times before.

Allen: Why do they resemble each other so much?

Yuya: I don’t really know…

Allen: Could it be that you’re actually Yuto?
You even used Dark Rebellion and such.

Yuya: Heh? No, I…

Allen: You should have just told us earlier.

Captain Falcon: He’s not Yuto.

Captain Falcon: He might look like him on the outside.
But he’s Sakaki Yuya.

Sayaka: Sakaki?

Allen: What about Yuto, then?
Didn’t he chase after Shun and follow him to the Standard Dimension?
Why didn’t he go back with you guys?

Yuya: Well, Yuto is…

Yuto: Stop.
Even if you tell them, they won’t understand.
What’s with me residing inside you and all.

Yuya: But…

Captain Falcon: It’s true that Yuto followed me and came to the Standard Dimension.
But then, he just vanished all of a sudden.

Allen: Huh?

Captain Falcon: I had my suspicions toward Yuya back then.
I thought that he attacked Yuto, and took Dark Rebellion from him.

Yuya: I don’t know what really happened.
But Yuuto entrusted it to me, and told me to bring smiles with Dueling. (Egao Count: 143+1=144)

Allen: Bring smiles with Dueling… (Egao Count: 144+1=145)

Sayaka: That’s certainly something Yuto would say…

Captain Falcon: In the end, I never found out where Yuto’d gone.
But as I watched Yuya’s battles,
I began to have a bit more faith in him.
No matter what the reason might be, it would not be strange if Yuto entrusts his own card to him.

Yuya: Kurosaki…

Yuto: Shun…
 
Allen: I see.
And then you guys became comrades, eh?
That’s good and all, but…
A lot of bad stuff happened on our end while you were gone.

Yuya: Bad stuff?

Allen: Yeah.
Just right after Shun and Yuto went to the Standard Dimension,
Academia’s army launched a major offensive against us.

GONGENZAKA: Major offensive?

Allen: The moment they saw someone, they immediately pointed their Duel Disks at them…

Heartland Citizen: H-help me! AAAAHHH!!

Allen: And mercilessly turn them into cards.

Allen: During that battle, the Spade Branch’s Resistance force was wiped out…’
And our Clover Branch was annihilated as well…
Only a handful of us survived,
And we could not protect the civilians at all.
We all scattered and ran away,
And managed to reach this hideout somehow.

Captain Falcon: How could this happen…
If Yuto and I were there, that tragedy could have been avoided…

Yuya: Did something happen to Kaito during that attack…?

Sayaka: It’s not Kaito…It’s his family.

Yuya: Family?

Sayaka: That’s right. They were all annihilated.
Kaito lost his entire family to Academia…

Captain Falcon: They were all turned into cards!?

Yuya-to: No…

Yuya: I’m still inexperienced, after all.
Jack taught me that Dueling is like a heart-to-heart conversation.
I grew conceited and thought that I can already put it into practice, but…

Kaito: Talking is pointless!
The only thing that awaits Academia is destruction!

Yuya: I was just trying to forcefully pry open Kaito’s heart…
I couldn’t even guess that there is sadness lying deep inside his heart.

Yuya: If I do that, I won’t be able to bring smiles to Kaito or the many other people who’ve been wounded. (Egao Count: 145+1=146).
I won’t be able to face Jack or Dad.

Sayaka: Dad? You’re called Sakaki Yuya, right?

Yuya: Huh? That’s right. But what about it?

Sayaka: Could it be that you’re related to Sakaki Yusho?

Yuya: You know Sakaki Yusho!?
You know my Dad!?

Allen: Dad!? Now that you mentioned it, Sakaki…
Are you really the son of that Sakaki Yusho!?

Yuya: So you two do know my father!

GONGENZAKA: To think that there are people who know Yuya’s father in the Xyz Dimension…

SAWATARI-SAN: That means…
He’s been here!?

Sayaka: Yeah. We know him.
Sakaki Yusho was our teacher.

Yuya: Teacher?

Sayaka: Three years ago,
As if he already predicted Academia’s invasion,
He showed up and taught us everything about Dueling.
He taught us not only skills,
But also the spirit to never forget smiling no matter what. (Egao Count: 146+1=147)

Yuya: Three years ago…
Then my Dad wasn’t a coward after all!

Yuya: He didn’t run away!
In order to fight the Academia, he crossed the dimensions…

Allen: No. He was a coward.

Yuya: Huh?

Allen: One day, he just disappeared all of a sudden.
He abandoned us and ran away!


(SAILING MY SEA YEAH!)


Yuzu: Ouch…This is…
Eh? How did I…
Is this Maiami City?
No. I’m in a city I don’t know.
Just a little while ago, I…

Yuzu: AAAAHHH!

Yuya: Yuzu!

Yuzu: YUYAAAAA!

Yuya: YUZUUUU!

Yuzu: Yuya…

Kid: I’ll see you again one day!

Parent 1: Do your best, all right!?

Parent 2: Take care of yourself, okay?
Be sure to listen to what your teacher says and study hard!

Parent 3: You will become a splendid Duelist!

Yuzu: These kids…They’re all going to become Duelists?
But why are they on a ship?

Random Kid: Isn’t it obvious?
They’re going to Academia.

Yuzu: Academia!?

Random Kid: Yup.
Beyond this sea, there’s an island, where Duel Academia is located.
You can only go there by a ship.
Hold on, this is just general knowledge!
And yet, you don’t know?

Yuzu: Academia lies beyond this sea!?
Then, this place is…The Fusion Dimension!?

{ZETSUBOU Commercial. Brb}

Random Kid: That must be pretty awesome.
I want to graduate from elementary school and go to Academia as soon as possible!
If I study hard and train hard over there, I will become a strong Duelist who won’t lose to anyone!

Yuzu: Strong…
Do you even know what the Academia does?

Random Kid: What?

Yuzu: Academia used the Duelists they trained, and sent them to other dimensions to…

Mother: All right, we’ve already said goodbye to them.
Let’s go home.
You’ll be going to Academia as well,
So we’ll have to have a tutor train you, so that you won’t fall behind.

Random Kid: Yeah! I’ll do my best, mama!

Random Kid: Then, I’ll see you later, miss!

Mother: How old are you?

Yuzu: Heh? Well, I’m 14.

Mother: If you’re at that age, shouldn’t you be a student at Academia?
And what’s with your getup?
Why are you here?

Yuzu: W-what do you mean?

Random Dude 1: Did you run away from the island?

Random Dude 2: They exist, you know.
Occasionally, there’s people who hide in the ferryboat, and then escape.

Random Dude 1: Hey, contact the juvenile officers!
Tell them we’ve found a runaway student.

Random Kid: The heck?
You’re a deserter?

Yuzu: Heh? No! I’m not deserting…

Random Dude 1: Hey! Over here! Over here!

Random Dude 2: If you overlook this, it’ll set a bad example for the other kids!
Take her back to the island!

Yuzu: No!

Random Dude 1: She’s running away!
After her!
Don’t let her get away!

Yuzu: I can’t believe I got sent to the Fusion Dimension, where Academia is, out of all places…

Juvenile Officer: Get back here!

Juvenile Officer: Is she here!?

Yuzu: If I get caught, I’ll be sent to Academia.
That’s exactly what the Professor wants!

Juvenile Officer 1: There she is!

Juvenile Officer 2: Hold it right there!

Juvenile Officer 3: You won’t get away!

Yuzu: It won’t open!

Juvenile Officer 1: There’s nowhere to run!
Be obedient and return to the island!

Juvenile Officer 2: If you’re not a repeat offender,
It’ll end with a one-month educational program.

Juvenile Officer 3: But if you resist…

Yuzu: I have no choice but to fight!

Asuka: Hold it right there!
If you want to fight, I’ll be your opponent!

Yuzu: Ah…Um…

Asuka: It’s fine. You can stay back.

Juvenile Officer 1: This girl…she’s the one.

Juvenile Officer 2: Yeah, no mistake about it.

Juvenile Officer 3: Don’t let your guard down.
She’s defeated a lot of people.

Juvenile Officer 1: Let’s go all out!

Asuka: A Battle Royale, eh?
Fine by me!

Yuzu: This person…just who is she…

DUEL!

Asuka: I’ll go first!
From my hand, I summon Etoile Cyber!
I set one card facedown and end my turn!

Juvenile Officer 1: It’s my turn!
From my hand, I summon Armor Dog - Cannon Boxer!
And due to its monster effect, I can Special Summon an Armor Dog whose Level is lower than Cannon Boxer from my hand!
I Special Summon Armor Dog – Bull Copter!
When Bull Copter is successfully Special Summoned,
I can add this card from my deck to my hand!

Yuzu: Polymerization?

Juvenile Officer 1: From my hand, I activate the Magic Card, Polymerization!
I fuse Cannon Boxer and Bull Copter together!
Hunting dog armed with deadly firearms!
Become one with the airborne savage dog,
And become a new power that will roar through the heaven and earth!
Fusion Summon!
Come on out!
Full Armor Dog – Bull Fortress!

Juvenile Officer 1: Bull Fortress’s monster effect activates!
By sending a Polymerization card from my hand to the graveyard,
I can increase its ATK by 1000 points!

Yuzu: Its ATK is already 3000!

Juvenile Officer 1: During a Battle Royale, every player cannot attack on their first turn.
Huh. Consider yourself lucky.
I’ll end my turn here.

Juvenile Officer 2: It’s my turn next!
I’ll also summon Armor Dog - Cannon Boxer!
With its effect, I can Special Summon Armor Dog - Bull Copter!
With Bull Copter’s effect, I can add a Polymerization card to my hand!
And I activate the Polymerization card I just added from my hand!
I’ll fuse the two Armor Dogs together!
Fusion Summon!
Come on out!
Full Armor Dog – Bull Fortress!

Yuzu: He summoned the same monster!?
Then, he’s going to send a Polymerization card into the graveyard again…

Juvenile Officer 2: With Bull Fortress,
I can send a card with Polymerization or Fusion in its name from my hand to the graveyard,
And increase its ATK by 1000!
I’ll send Polymerization and Re-Fusion to the graveyard,
Increasing its ATK by 2000!

Yuzu: 4000!?

Juvenile Officer 2: I end my turn with this.

Juvenile Officer 3: It’s my turn!
I’ll also summon Cannon Boxer!
With its effect, I can Special Summon Armor Dog - Bull Copter!
With Bull Copter’s effect, I can add a Polymerization card to my hand!
Then, I activate Polymerization from my hand,
And Fusion Summon Full Armor Dog – Bull Fortress!

Yuzu: Don’t tell me…he’s going to use three cards!?

Juvenile Officer 3: I’ll send four cards, Polymerization, Re-Fusion, Fusion Recovery, and Fusion Reserve to the graveyard,
Increasing Bull Fortress’s ATK by 4000!

Yuzu: T-their ATKs are 3000, 4000, and 6000!?

Juvenile Officer 1: There’s nothing you can do!

Juvenile Officer 2: Witness the Academia’s power!

Juvenile Officer 3: You should surrender before you get hurt.

Asuka: Surrender? Ahaha!
The real thing is just getting started.
It’s my turn!
From my hand, I activate the Ritual Magic, Machine Angel Ritual!
I release the Level-4 Etoile Cyber on my field, and the Level-6 Cyber Prima in my hand,
And perform a Ritual Summon!
Brilliant angel who hides infinite power!
Reveal yourself to the whole world,
And illuminate all creation!
Descend!
Level-10! Cyber Angel – Vishnu!

Yuzu: This girl uses Ritual Summon?

Juvenile Officer 1: Summoning a Level-10 monster in one go…
You’re as skilled as the rumors say. But…!

Juvenile Officer 2: Its ATK is only 3000.
Do you think that monster can stand a chance against our three monsters?

Juvenile Officer 3: You have no chance of winning.
Your days of defying the Academia are over!

Asuka: I wonder about that.

Yuzu: Heh?

Asuka: When Cyber Angel – Vishnu is successfully summoned,
It’ll destroy all Fusion Monsters on my opponent’s field,
And deal 1000 damage to the controller for every destroyed monster.

Juvenile Officer 1: What!?

Juvenile Officer 2: All Fusion Monsters…!?

Juvenile Officer 3: …Will be destroyed!?

Asuka: Ascension Burst!

Asuka: Vishnu can also attack as many times as the number of monsters destroyed by this effect.
Three monsters were destroyed.
Therefore, I can attack each of you directly once!
Go! Cyber Angel – Vishnu!

Juvenile Officer: AAAAHHHHHH!

Yuzu: Amazing…

Asuka: Come with me.

Yuzu: Ah…

Asuka: We’ll use this as transport.
Come on.

Asuka: What’s your name?

Yuzu: It’s Yuzu. Hiiragi Yuzu.
What about you?

Asuka: I’m Asuka.

Yuzu: Asuka-san.

Asuka: Yes. Tenjoin Asuka. Nice to meet you.

Yuzu: Likewise!

Asuka: All right, come on in, Yuzu.
There’s a lot of people who have escaped from Academia like you in this place.

Yuzu: Eh? Escaped?

Random Kid: It’s my turn! Draw!

Yuzu: This place is…

Asuka: Our Duel School, You Show School.

Yuzu: You Show School!?

Asuka: This way.

Yuzu: Eh?
You…You’re…!

(New Egao Record: 147)

Edo: Are you Sakaki Yusho’s son!?

Yuya: Could it be…You know my Dad!?

Edo: Yeah…There’s no way I could forget.
But this is a good opportunity.
If you really are Sakaki Yusho’s son, I can use you as bait to lure him out.

Yuya: Please tell me! What happened between you and my Dad!?

Edo: Talking is pointless!

Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:
The HERO Bearing the Name of “D”
The fun has just begun!
