Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V (遊☆戯☆王ARC-V)

Previously on "Yu‐Gi‐Oh! ARC‐V"...

Dueling has never been for fun,

but I guess it was fun seeing all those Xyzians run for cover.

You know what Duel Academy did to the Xyz Dimension?

It wrecked their world...

A world filled with happiness and joy.

Your buddies took it all away!

Stuff happens.

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Yuto, I'm having a hard time trying to get Sora to understand

what dueling's really about,

but maybe together, by combining our monsters, we can reach him!

I Xyz Summon!

Odd‐Eyes Rebellion Dragon!

Time to swoop in and take out Saber‐Tooth!

Time's up!

The Battle Royal is officially over!

Yuya! You all right?

Huh?

Hey, you found Zuzu!

I'm not Zuzu.

Huh?

Then where is she?

Don't tell me your friends took her away!

Sora!

You've all dueled well.

Declan!

I got rid of all the Fusion Dimension dweebs

just like you wanted me to.

I therefore qualify to join

the elite, exclusive ranks of the Lancers.

Who're they?

This Battle Royal was really a test.

A test to see who can cut it as a Lancer.

Lancer?

Hey, Declan!

What's the deal?

We thought the Battle Royal was the next stage

of the Championship,

and now we find out it was just some sorta lame tryout

to become one of your Lancers?

What are you trying to pull?

I am simply trying to save our world, Yuya.

Once I learned warriors from the Fusion Dimension

were planning to infiltrate our home

I needed a way to stand up to them without causing a panic.

The Battle Royal was the perfect camouflage

for the real conflict at hand.

I sent the best duelists the Leo Institute had to offer

to drive back the enemy.

Turns out, their best wasn't good enough.

But you and your friends, however, have what it takes.

So you used us?

I simply used the resources available to me.

By repulsing the Fusion Warriors you proved your strength today.

But defending our world is not good enough.

We have to take the battle to the Fusion Dimension.

And you and your fellow Lancers will lead that charge!

And end up like our friends?

Turned into cards?

Reed and Trout, they didn't deserve this!

Nobody did!

Don't you see that?

And Zuzu, what about her? (sobs)

What if they got to Zuzu, too?

She might be gone forever!

And it's your fault!

He isn't to blame.

Huh!

If anyone's responsible for her fate, it's me.

So Zuzu's M‐I‐A 'cause of you?

Gong don't even know who you are, lady!

My name is Selena.

I'm from the Fusion Dimension!

Say what?

If you're from the Fusion Dimension,

then you're one of our enemies!

Just fantastic!

Now that the cat's out of the bag

they'll never let her out of their sights.

Looks like me taking Selena back to Duel Academy

isn't in the cards.

So there's a Fusion freak among us!

And dressed as Zuzu Boyle no less!

Obviously she's an enemy agent!

Your disguise is uncanny, but I saw through you immediately!

Now you better talk or I'll‐‐

Step aside.

I am interrogating her!

Are you working for Fusion, too?

No.

But I have made a promise to protect her.

To who?

You better give me a name, ninjaman!

Or I'll‐‐ Selena is no spy.

In fact, a squad of Fusion Warriors was sent

to hunt her down.

It's true.

These warriors are members of Obelisk Force.

They were hot on my trail,

but since Zuzu and I switched outfits,

they probably thought she was me.

Wait, the two of you switched duds?

Why would Zuzu agree to do that?

Because...

She wanted to give me the chance to meet Shay.

Why?

Zuzu told me how Duel Academy had attacked innocent Xyzians,

but I didn't believe her.

She wanted me to find Shay and hear the story from him.

So she offered to be my decoy,

to keep Obelisk Force off of my tail.

Then Zuzu's...

If you don't want to lose any more friends like Zuzu,

then it's best you join my Lancers

and take the fight to them.

This task will require all the strength and determination you can muster!

You can avenge them.

I will provide the opportunity.

All you must do is follow my lead and trust me.

You're asking us to trust you?

After all your lies?

I don't care about your battle, all I want are my friends back!

All of them!

Bring them back!

A duelist settles his issues with a duel, not his fists.

All right, then!

If that's how you want it, I'll duel you,

for dragging us all into this fight!

Very well, then.

If you should defeat me,

I will accept any punishment you see fit for my misdeeds.

What is Declan up to?

Oh!

You do not yet understand

the gravity of the threat to this world.

Establishing the Lancers was the only way

to stop another tragedy.

I will not allow the people of this dimension

to suffer the same fate as the Xyzians!

I'll show you what I mean!

By activating the Action Field Neo Heartland City!

Augmented reality combat system energized.

Generating Action Field.

Heartland City is located in the Xyz Dimension.

Or it was.

It's nothing more than a ruined shell now.

Because of you Fusionites!

Keep going, Shay.

Tell Selena the full story.

I guess it's too difficult to relive a tragedy.

Fine, I will fill in the details.

The Xyzians were peaceful.

Yet were completely helpless and unprepared

to stop Duel Academy's invasion.

That's why we must fight them.

Enough!

I'm through hearing you talk. Got it?

I'm simply informing Selena of the travesties that took place.

I said enough!

Not talking about it isn't going to change the fact

that you and your friends will have to fight them.

Declan...

I'm ending this now!

Everything that happened to my friends is all your fault!

You set us up, and now, I'm gonna take you down!

If you're so eager to go into battle,

then take me on right now!

Let's duel!

I'll use Scale 4 Performapal Trump Witch

and Scale 8 Xiangsheng Magician

to set the Pendulum Scale!

I'm taking control of this duel, starting now!

Swing far Pendulum!

Carve the arc of victory!

My monsters are ready to swing into action!

Wield your wizardry, Stargazer Magician!

Splash to it, Performapal Splashmammoth!

Pendulum Summoning already?

Yuya really does mean business!

With that, I end my turn.

Why would Zuzu risk her own life

just so that you could talk to me?

It's my turn.

I draw.

Using the special ability of my D/D Swirl Slime,

I will fuse it&

with my D/D Berfomet.

Your powers have grown to be quite impressive,

but as you will see, I am more than capable of warding off

any threat you send my way, Yuya!
