Yeah, the first half was definitely rushed, and a bit too idealistic, but eh, it’s a silly kid’s show about Card Games on Hippos and what not.
Still. Yusho, you magnificent bastard. :cm:

Egaoville

Last Time’s Egao Count: 204

Noro: No need to worry.
I already called in reinforcements.

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)

Noro: It’s quite unfortunate that the Tyler sisters and even Commander Edo are defeated.
In that case, I, Noro Mamoru, will have to step in and exterminate the Lancers, as according to the Professor’s order!

Noro: Prepare yourself, Sakaki Yuya.
If I order all my troops to attack you all at once,
You’ll be crushed in an instant!

Gloria: This Noroma moron doesn’t know how to Duel, does he?

Grace: You can’t just simultaneously attack, buddy.

Noro: D-Don’t mock me!
That was a figure of speech!
It just means I’m going to thoroughly annihilate them!
Do it, Academia’s army!

Yuya: Edo!

Noro: W-What are you doing!?

Edo: I understand clearly now after my Duel against Yuya.
His father was right all along!

Yuya: Edo…

Edo: As Sakaki Yusho said,
Dueling is supposed to bring smiles to everyone! (Egao Count: 204+1=205)
It’s not a tool for fighting!

Edo: Those of you who witnessed it must’ve felt the same way as well!

Grace: Yup. He might be right.

Noro: W-What nonsense are you sprouting!?

Edo: Open your eyes, Noro!
We inflicted fear upon the Xyz Dimension’s people, who were living in peace,
And took away their smiles. (Egao Count: 205+1=206)
That is clearly wrong!

Noro: You’re condemning the Arc Area Project, despite being the Commander-in-Chief!?
You’re practically stabbing the Professor in the back!

Edo: I know.
But I will walk on the path that I believe is right!
In order to do that,
I will gladly bear the stigma of being a traitor!

Gloria: He cast off the thing that signifies him as the Commander-in-Chief! The cloak he received from the Professor!

Grace: He’s turning against Academia for real?
That’s actually kind of cool!

Gloria: What are you saying!?
You’re going to betray us and become the Lancers’ ally!?

Grace: More like, I’m going to become Yuya’s ally?

Gloria: E-Enough of this!

Grace: Oh? But you were captivated by Yuya’s Entertainment Dueling, too, weren’t you?

Gloria: G-Grace!

Grace: Just admit it already, Sis.

Grace: We’ll be on their side from now on!

Noro: What!?

Yuya: Thank you, everyone.
If you’re all with me, I’m sure we’ll be able to bring smiles back to the Xyz Dimension! (Egao Count: 206+1=207)
Right, Yuto?

Edo: Yuto?

Yuya: Yeah. There’s another me, who was raised in the Xyz Dimension, inside me.
He said something like this.

Yuya-to: In order to bring smiles back to my hometown, Heartland, (Egao Count: 207+1=208)
I’ll need your cooperation.

Edo: You got it.
We’ll return the smiles we’ve stolen back to the people of the Xyz Dimension! (Egao Count: 208+1=209)
We’ll have to dedicate our entire lives to that job.

Noro: That’s not possible, I’m afraid.
Because you’re all going to be annihilated, right here, right now!
If Edo openly voiced his betrayal,
I can now officially become the Commander-in-Chief of the Xyz Dimension Expeditionary Army!
Now, get them, Academia’s army!

Kaito: Hey! Aren’t you forgetting someone?

Noro: T-That voice is…!

Yuya: Kaito!

Kaito: Since I’m on Academia’s wanted list,
You’d want to take me out first, no?

Kaito: Though, I don’t think you can beat me…
No. You can’t beat us.

Noro: “Us”?

Yuya: That’s…The Resistance!

Noro: Kuh…!

Yuya: Kaito! Did you bring them here!?

Allen: Yup! That’s exactly it!
Kaito gathered everyone, and brought them here to help you!

Yuya: Allen!

Allen: Don’t worry about Shun!
Sayaka and others are looking after him at the hideout!

Yuya: I see. Thank goodness.

Kaito: We, the Resistance, will fight to save our important comrades, even if it’ll cost us our lives!
If you have that kind of resolve, Duel me!

Noro: EEEK! W-well,
Why don’t we just call it a day?
After all, I’m more used to administrative work, and don’t have any combat experience.
Ahahaha…Ha…

Edo: Listen up, everyone!
We have started a war in the name of the Arc Area Project!
This is a contradiction of our ideals!
Therefore, we shall abandon this project right now, and devote ourselves to rebuilding the Xyz Dimension!
This is not an order.
Those who do not agree with me can return to Academia.
Please lend me your assistance, so that we can atone for the mistakes we’ve committed!

Yuya: Edo…

Edo: Right.

Noro: IT’S LATE!
According to my calculation, the soup for everyone should have been prepared within 29 minutes and 58 seconds!
My clock’s hand has already passed the 30-minute mark!
How long are we going to keep the citizens waiting!?

Grace: Sorry for the wait!

Noro: You’re late!

Gloria: Why do I have to do this…

Grace: Entertainment is about making people happy.
This is training for that.

Allen: They’re offering food and medical supplies for free.
They even said that the Academia army is going to construct residential housing for us, so isn’t that a bit too good?
On top of that, they said they’re also going to take care of Shun, and they want to bring him to their headquarters!
Are you guys really okay with that!?
That Edo guy is our enemy’s boss, right!?

Sayaka: But that’s because they have their latest medical facilities set up at their headquarters.

GONGENZAKA: If we just let him sleep here, I don’t think Kurosaki is going to regain his consciousness.
He needs to be properly examined by a doctor and get some treatment.

SAWATARI-SAN: But I understand why Allen is worried.
Even if Yuya managed to connect with their hearts through Dueling,
They’re still Academia.

Yuya: That’s not it.
I…

Kaito: Believe in him.

Allen: Eh?

Yuya: Kaito…

Kaito: I realized it after my Duels against you and Shun.
How important my comrades are, how wonderful smiles are. (Egao Count: 209+1=210)
And how Dueling is supposed to protect these things.
I’m sure he realized the same thing as well.
That’s why he came here.
So that he can atone for stealing away many smiles through Dueling. (Egao Count: 210+1=211)
If he bravely admits the mistakes they have made,
I have to atone as well.
I have inflicted fear upon countless Academia soldiers as well.

Sayaka: Kaito.

Allen: But that’s because your family was turned into cards by Academia!

Yuya-to: Yuya told me during his Duel against Edo.

SAWATARI-SAN: Is that…Yuya?

GONGENZAKA: No, it’s Yuto.

Yuto: That’s right.
Yuya said this back then.

Yuya-to: If you only retaliate when you’re attacked, the conflict will never end.
That’s what Yuya’s father, Sakaki Yusho, believes in.

Kaito: Sakaki Yusho…

Yuya: Forgiveness is the only way to end the war.

Yuto: Of course, there are also things that can’t be forgiven.
If you ignore that, you’ll bring pain to others’ hearts.

Yuya: But even so, by having the courage to forgive others,
We can open the path to the future.
So that we can create a peaceful future where everyone can smile. (Egao Count: 211+1=212)

Yuya: Kaito. You’ve showed us that courage just now.
You endured the pain of losing your family and forgave them. And admitted your errors.

Kaito: Yuto.

Yuya: I agree with what Yuto said as well.

Edo: There’s a way to return those who have been turned into cards back to normal.

Kaito: Eh?

Yuya: Is that true?

Edo: Carding is a means to gather the life energy of the people.
I heard that when the new utopia is created, everyone will be reborn there.

Kaito: My family can be returned to normal…
Is that true?

Edo: Yeah.

GONGENZAKA: But where are the gathered cards sent to?

Edo: They’re all sent to Academia.
There’s a Transfer Device for that purpose located at our headquarters.

Yuya: The people who are turned into cards are sent from here to the Fusion Dimension?

Edo: Yes. Everyone is sent to Academia.

Kaito: Beyond this…is my family.

Sayaka: Go, Kaito!

Sayaka: Go and save them.
Your family, and Ruri as well.

Kaito: Ruri…

Sayaka: I’m sure that’s what Shun would say.

Sayaka: You guys should go as well.
Shun will be all right.
I believe in Edo as well. Together, we’ll make sure that Shun can recover!

Edo: Yeah. I’ll definitely help Kurosaki Shun.
Please believe in me.

Yuya: I’m sure we’ve said it many times already.
Yuto and I believe in you.

Edo: That’s true. You have my thanks.
However, I must apologize to you.
I might have accidentally sent your father to another dimension, after all.
Because of me, the man who taught me the true wonders of Dueling is…

Yuya: Dad is alive.
I’ll definitely meet him again.
That’s what I believe in.

Edo: Yuya.

Yuya: Also…
About what I asked you…

Edo: That girl named Hiiragi Yuzu, right?
I’ve asked all the soldiers, but none of them has met any girl that fits her description.
We’ll try to look for her.

Yuya: Please do.

SAWATARI-SAN: Shall we go, then?

GONGENZAKA: Right!
Yuya!

Yuya: Yeah.

Allen: Hang on a sec!

Yuya: Allen!

Allen: I’ll give these to you.

Yuya: This is your…

Allen: It’s my feelings! Take them!

Yuya: Allen.

Kaito: This is?

Sayaka: Little Fairy.
Take it with you.
I want to fight alongside you guys as well.

Kaito: Okay.
Together with this card, I’ll definitely rescue Ruri.

Sayaka: Kaito…

Kaito: All right, let’s go!

GONGENZAKA: To the Fusion Dimension!

SAWATARI-SAN: Let’s depart.

Yuya: Right!

{ZETSUBOU Commercial. Brb}

Asuka: If we are to fight Academia, we have to do it now!
Some time ago, six of our students were taken out by a Duelist named Yuri.

Asuka: At this rate, You Show School will be crushed before we can fight Academia!
Right now, we also have Yugo and Yuzu, who possess powers of the other dimensions!
We have to make our move while we can!

Yugo: Rin and Serena are at Academia as well.

Yuzu: And Ruri, too.

Yugo: In order to rescue the three of them, we’ll have to head there …
I’ll go as well!

Yusho: All right.
Then, I’ll go.

Asuka: No, Instructor, you can’t!

Yuzu: Don’t push yourself!
We’ll go by ourselves!

Yusho: I can’t let the students who have tried so hard to escape return to Academia once again.
I shall go.
So that I can personally speak to Akaba Leo.

Dennis: Unfortunately,
You won’t be able to meet the Professor,
Nor will you be able to get to Academia.

Yuzu: It can’t be… Dennis!?

Dennis: Oh yes, it can.
Long time no see, Yuzu.
I’ll have you come with me.

Yugo: You’re…!

Dennis: Well, well, you’re here as well.
You’re called Yugo, right?
Your Duel against Sawatari back in the Synchro Dimension was pretty fun.
As an entertainer, though, you’re still nowhere near as good as me.

Yugo: Well, screw you!
You lost against Kurosaki, and your true nature was exposed!
You’re no entertainer!

Dennis: I was not exposed.
I myself revealed my true colors.
So that I can enliven my Duel against him.

Dennis: It went exactly as I expected,
And the spectators were overjoyed, too, weren’t they?
Hehehehe…

Yusho: Dennis…

Yuzu: You know him!?

Dennis: It’s been a while, my teacher…

Yuzu & Asuka: Teacher!?

Dennis: How nostalgic.
I would always admire you as you Dueled on the streets of Heartland.
When I saw that, my love for Entertainment Dueling was awakened.

Dennis: However, right now, I think my abilities to mesmerize the audience have already surpassed yours.

Yusho: You’re sure about that?

Dennis: Then, why don’t we have a test?
I even brought a gallery with me as well.

Asuka: How did they get here…

Dennis: We were able to deduce where you were hiding using the eyewitness reports we received.

Dennis: Instructor. I can only think that fate must have brought you to the Fusion Dimension.
Please observe your student’s growth, by all means.

Yugo: You bastard! You think we’ll just silently listen while you’re sprouting your bullcrap!?

Student 1: He’s right!

Student 2: The Instructor doesn’t have to do what you say!

Student 3: We’ll do it!

Student 4: Leave this to us!

Yusho: Very well. I accept your challenge.

Yugo: Eh!?

Asuka: Instructor!

Yuzu: Uncle…

Dennis: Heh…

Yusho: Everyone, stay back.
You haven’t grown at all since that time. Not one bit.

Dennis: What!?

Yusho: Back then, you can only captivate people with the flashiness of your shows.
However, can you put a message that will shake the hearts of the audience into that flashiness?
That’s the important thing!

Dennis: Enough of your boasting!
I’ve always valued practicality over lecturing!
Let’s begin, then, Instructor.

DUEL!

Dennis: I’ll let you show me what you’ve got.

Yusho: Then, I’ll take you up on your offer.
I’ll go first.
I set one card facedown and end my turn.

Yuzu: Heh!?

Asuka: That’s it!?

Dennis: Are you mocking me!?

Yusho: Far from it.
I always try my best to make it enjoyable for everyone.
This is a setup for that purpose.

Dennis: Is that so?
Then, I won’t hold back.
It’s my turn!
You said that I haven’t grown at all,
But I’ve been to various places since then, and learned some new things.
This is the proof of that.
Using the Scale-3 Entermage Mirror Conductor and the Scale-6 Entermage Fire Dancer, I set the Pendulum Scale!
With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters from Level-4 to 5!
Pendulum Summon!
Come forth! My monsters!
First off, Entermage Ball Rider!
Next up, Entermage Plushfire!

Yugo: He Pendulum Summoned right off the bat…

Yuzu: This isn’t over yet.
Both of his summoned monsters are Level-4.

Dennis: I overlay the Level-4 Ball Rider and Plushfire!
The Show must go on!
Magician of the ether!
Swing across the stage with splendor!
Xyz Summon!
Come on out! Rank-4!
Entermage Trapeze Magician!

Dennis: Unfortunately, the show must end right away.
I detach one of Trapeze Magician’s Overlay Units, and activate its monster effect!
With this, Trapeze Magician can attack twice this turn.
Trapeze Magician’s ATK is 2500.
If you receive two direct attacks,
Your Life Point will be wiped out.
That’s quite anticlimactic, I must say.

Dennis: Do it!
Battle, Trapeze Magician!
Attack Sakaki Yusho directly!

Yusho: Trap, activate!
Miracle Silk Hat!

Dennis: He disappeared!

Yusho: HAHAHAHA!
No need to fret!
I am right here!

Dennis: You’re inside one of those silk hats?

Yusho: Exactly!
If you end the show by just attacking directly, it would be boring, don’t you think?
I’ve prepared a fun little game for us!

Dennis: Game?

Yusho: Within one of those two silk hats is a Magic Card.
Meanwhile, the other hat is concealing me as well as a 0 ATK monster.
If you manage to find that monster and destroy it, the battle damage will be doubled.
Meaning I’ll receive 5000 damage, and lose.

Dennis: Too bad for you, then!
Like I said, Trapeze Magician can attack twice due to its effect.
Meaning I have a 100% chance of bringing you down!

Yusho: Then I have no other option.
I shall make it as exciting as possible, and praise you for your victory.
Then, what’s your first choice?

Dennis: I’ll attack the hat on the right!
Do it! Trapeze Magician!

Yusho: What you destroyed is the Magic Card, Wonder Balloons.
Regrettably, since it’s not a monster, the battle damage will become zero.

Dennis: Still, it’ll all end with this.
I’ll attack the hat on the left with Trapeze Magician!

Dennis: I got him!
Eh?

Dennis: Paper Doll?
It’s a Magic Card that you can treat as a Monster Card if you have it in your hand!?
Which means…I never had a chance to begin with!?

Dennis: Damn him!
He made me play his game and got away…
After them!
They said that they’re going to Academia…
The harbor! Head to the harbor right now!

Osiris Student: There they are!

Yugo: Yuzu! Don’t run off on your own!

Yuzu: It’s all right.
I can fend for myself!

Yugo: Look, just stay with me!
I’ll definitely protect you!

Yuzu: Eh? Yugo!

Yuya: Yuzu!

Yuzu: Eh?

Yuya: Yuzu!

Yuzu: Yuya!

Dennis: I never thought I’ll be able to see Yuya again.
It’s your turn to shine.

(Preview for Episode 113)

GONGENZAKA: You’re…Dennis!

Dennis: Yo! Long time no see, Gon-chan.

GONGENZAKA: You’re going to take Yuzu away, just like when you kidnapped Kurosaki’s sister, Ruri!?

SAWATARI-SAN: Answer me at once! You’d better tell me where Serena is being held!

Dennis: Sorry, but I have some other businesses to take care of.
All right, Kachidoki. I’ll leave this up to you.

Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:
The Thirst for Carnage
The fun has just begun!
