episode 165 summarized by Janime

 

Manjoume is receiving a response from a Pro Duelist company by an electronic mail. He plans to proceed to a pro duelist after graduation, applying to many companies. However, they all reject his application. The spirit of Ojama Yellow is looking at a pile of rejecting letters on the table while Manjoume is closing his eyes and looking depressed. It realizes that Manjoume has collected many rejected applications.

Manjoume can't stand listening before raising the table and throwing it up. He doesn't collect the rejected letters because he wants to. Manjoume is now very worried about his future. Sho and Asuka have already made up their minds for their future career, but only Manjoume haven't been able to make up anything yet. Ojama Yellow thinks that if Manjoume really wants to be a pro, he can have Manjoume Group be his sponsor.

By pride, Manjoume refuses to receive help from his family. If he wants to be a pro, he wants to make it by his own hands and to be a duelist who suits Manjoume Group. It's his way to pay back his dear brothers. Meanwhile, Vice Principal Chronos is about to knock the door to meet him. He stops after hearing the trouble Manjoume currently has. He has never known that Manjoume is stressed out about his future career. This situation makes his heart burning. As a career advisor, Vice Principal Chronos decides to help Manjoume succeed his career by all of his might.

Note: Manjoume's older brothers are Chousaku and Shouji. One is the leader in the financial world while another one is the leader in the political world. They want Manjoume to be the leader in the duel monster world. It's Manjoume's main goal, but he wants to be on top by his own capability rather than by their brothers' help. See further story about Manjoume's family in episode 35.

Pro Duelist Company Hi. Thanks for applying to our Pro Duelist company today. But, by the result we've got now, it'll be hard to make a contract. Don't stop there, but please keep improving and apply again. See you again~
Ojama Yellow Big Brother Manjoume~ You have collected all the rejected application papers ~ there are a lot.
Manjoume Do you think I collect them because I like it!? Even Sho, even Tenjoin-kun have decided their career! But only me...
Ojama Yellow If you want to be a pro, you can have Manjoume Group be your sponsor.
Manjoume What are you going to do with received help from the older brothers at the beginning? If I want to be a pro, I will do it by my own. And when I become the duelist that fits Manjoume Group, I will repay the favors they've done for me!!
Chronos (Ah... Signor Manjoume... I haven't known that you had such a heated heart.) My heart burns! I as an career advisor will help with all my might!

Judai is fishing alone at the seaport. He then notices Manjoume walking along with Vice Principal Chronos to the cruise. Manjoume asksVice Principal Chronos directly where they are going. He is then surprised by seeing Edo on the cruise. Edo jumps from his private cruise and lands onto the seaport. He asks whatVice Principal Chronos wants to talk to him. It appears thatVice Principal Chronos calls Edo here to help Manjoume for his future career.

Surprisingly, Vice Principal Chronos starts by kneeing down and begging Edo for a request. Edo doubts and doesn't understand what all of these are about. Vice Principal Chronos tells Edo his only wish in a life for him. He wants Edo to hire Manjoume as his assistant. Both Edo and Manjoume become more surprised. Especially, Manjoume has never heard of this, asking whatVice Principal Chronos is talking about.

Vice Principal Chronos explains straight to Edo that Manjoume has decided not to go to Manjoume Group until he can become a pro by himself. Thus, he wants to make Manjoume's wish come true by having Edo train him from the beginning.

Note: Vice Principal Chronos says "U-No Kara" that means "From 1" or "From the beginning ". "U-No" means "1".

Manjoume looks frustrated and says that he has never asked Vice Principal Chronos to do this. He can'tconsider himself be Edo's assistant despite the fact that Edo is younger than him at the first place. Edo doesn't look satisfied by Manjoume's response. Meanwhile, Judai walks into the group and interrupts the conversation. He thinks that this sounds interesting. If Manjoume becomes Edo's assistant, he can see through the pro world right away.

Manjoume understands well but he still looks uncertain. Judai has to provoke him by asking whether Manjoume is scared of the pro world. Manjoume argues quickly that it is stupid for him to be afraid like that. Judai decides to keep provoking him by saying that he may take this chance if Manjoume doesn't want to. He then turns to Edo and is about to make a request to be his assistant.

Manjoume quickly stops Judai. He changes his mind shortly that seeing the pro world may not be a bad thing, so he may want to try it. Manjoume says as acting big. People seem to make a decision without listening to Edo's response yet. When Manjoume has made up his mind to accept this opportunity, Vice Principal Chronos turns to beg Edo again.

Edo still looks uncertain. Judai has to help by supporting Vice Principal Chronos. He tells Edo that Vice Principal Chronos has done this much, so Edo should accept his feeling. Edo takes a breath before telling people to do as they wish and walking away. Vice Principal Chronos looks very happy to Edo's acceptance.

Judai That is... Manjoume and Professor Chronos?
Manjoume Vice Principal, where are we going? Edo!
Edo Professor Chronos. What is it that you want to talk to me directly?
Chronos I'm begging you!
Edo What are you doing Professor Chronos?
Chronos Edo Phoenix. This is Chronos De Mediz's wish in a life. Please hire Manjoume as your assistant.
Manjoume What are you talking about, Vice Principal Chronos?
Chronos Manjoume has decided not to go to Manjoume Group until he can become a pro himself. I want to make that wish come true. Signore Edo, I want you to train Manjoume from the beginning.
Manjoume What are you saying Vice Principal Chronos? I've never requested you anything like this. He is younger than me at the first place! Me as his assistant?
Judai Isn't that interesting?
Manjoume Judai?!
Judai If you become Edo's assistant, you will be able to see world of Pro straightaway.
Manjoume That is...
Judai Hey~ Manjoume. Are you fearingthe world of Pro?
Manjoume Don't kid me!
Judai If you won't, then I may do so. Hey Edo. Can I be your assi...
Manjoume Wait! Well certainly, seeing the world of Pro right now won't be so bad. Well, it'll be best if I do it.
Chronos Edo. Please, I beg you.
Judai Edo, isn't it good? Professor Chronos has begged you this much, so please accept his feeling.
Edo As you wish.
Chronos

Sweet Tiramisu!

Note: It's just his favorite exclamation.

The day as Edo's assistant of Manjoume has started. Manjoume in a blue suit, is now in an elevation with a lady with violate hair. The lady introduces herself [Emeralda], Edo's sponsor and a member of [Senrigan Group]. She normally manages Edo's schedule, but she will leave this job on Manjoume from now on. Emeralda hands Manjoume a heavy bag. Manjoume opens it and finds many cell phones, asking what these are. Emeralda doesn't explain but just says that Manjoume will understand it soon.

Both Manjoume and Emeralda enter a very nice and spacious room on the top of the building. Manjoume doubts whether he is going to stay here while saying as it's nothing unusual. Emeralda corrects him that his place is actually outside the door of the room. It's actually an old storage building on the first floor near the building. She hopes that Manjoume will do his best.

Emeralda

My name is Emeralda. I'm Edo's sponsor and a member of Senrigan Group. Though I manage Edo's schedule, from now on, I'll leave that job to you. Here it is!

Manjoume What is it, this?
Emeralda You'll know it soon.
Manjoume Am I going to stay here?Just as it is...
Emeralda

No way. The place you'll be staying is... over there. Try to keep up~

Manjoume sets him up in the old storage place, changing his cloth into Duel Academia sport uniform and sleeping on a sofa. The room is dark since the light is broken. The next morning is coming while the sun is shining into the room. Manjoume wakes up, takes up a cell phone, and sees that it's 6.59 AM and about 51 seconds. To think about it, he remembers what Emeralda told him yesterday that it would be tough after 7.00 AM. on. At this moment, Manjoume hasn't understood yet what she means.

Manjoume is waiting when it's almost 7.00 AM. Suddenly, a phone rings, and he quickly opens the bag and searches for the ringing one. When he receives it, the caller introduces him from Weekly Duelist. When the man wants to talk about next week schedule, another phone in the bag begins to ring. Manjoume tells the man to hold on while searching for another cell phone in the bag. It's a call from another company, Duel TV. At the same time, many phones ring, and they come from many broadcasting and publishing companies. Manjoume is very frustrated to manage them all. They make him very busy in the early morning.

At a studio, a photographer and staffs are working on taking Edo's pictures. Manjoume looks sleepy after the morning hard work. Edo then calls Manjoume and asks him take a white suit. Manjoume goes into a cloth room to search for a white suit. He sees that all clothes in the room are white suits and doesn't know which is the right one. Next, Edo asks Manjoume give him a duel disk. Manjoume goes into a duel disk room. He again sees many duel disks there and doesn't know which is the right one.

Manjoume Even light bulb is creaking. That's that. Thinking about it, that woman...
Emeralda It'll be troublesome after seven O'clock.
Manjoume What's it about? Hello!
Man 1 This is 'Weekly Duelist'. Next week...
Manjoume Wait!
Man 2 This is Duel TV.
Manjoume Wa...Wait!
Photographer Good! Good!
Staff 1 Exposure is OK!
Staff 2

Ah, a hair!

Note: A hair is on Edo's shirt and she is taking it out.

Edo Manjoume! White suit!
Manjoume Ah, yes. White suit... white suit... which one!!!
Edo Manjoume! Duel disk!
Manjoume

Duel Disk...which one!?

At a business event [Written by Edo Phoenix: Duel theory that can make you say 'Do you think so?' - sale and handshake event], Edo is distributing his book (with his brand "D" make as a cover) to kids standing in line on stage. Manjoume is carrying the books for distribution. He is surprised by seeing many people in the main hall. Meanwhile, a staff tells Manjoume that 20 trucks for the books have just arrived. Manjoume is getting shocked by a lot of work that he has to do.

Note: The title of Edo's book is "Sore Wa Dookana" or "Do you think so?". It's common words of Judai who usually says when his opponent is confident by his combo or victory but Judai doesn't think so. Then, Judai says "Sore Wa Dookana" or "Do you think so?" before reversing the game by his next unexpected play. In this book, Edo may write some theory that can make people reverse the game fallen in the hand of the opponent.

In the evening, Edo is in a meeting with [Mike]. Mike is discussing about new events for Edo. He gives an idea about a show or magic event at Duel Academia. Edo doesn't look pleased. While having a tea, he reminds Mike that he is a duelist not a comic star. Mike understands it very well but he is concerned by that living only with a duel nowadays may not work well. At the same time, Manjoume is talking to another agent for Edo in the phone and standing nearby.

Edo gets very mad after hearing Mike's words. He tells him to quit the duel broadcasting if he doesn't believe in the power of duel. Quickly, Edo turns to ask Manjoume for tea. Meanwhile, nobody notices Mike smiling evilly as looking how Edo is treating Manjoume. Manjoume accepts Edo's order before going to open a refrigerator and again seeing a lot of tea. He is confused by which one Edo wants. Edo takes a bottle of black tea and drinks it. He tells Manjoume that it doesn't matter which tea it is as long as it's tea.

Edo Thank you! Thank you!
Boy Thank you!
Edo You're welcomed!
Manjoume There are still that much!!
Staff Another twenty trucks have arrived.
Manjoume Hieeeeek!
Edo Is that so?
Mike Isn't that an interesting chance?
Manjoume Well, about that suggestion. Yes...
Mike So it's another event in Duel Academia again, how about opening a show or magic event...
Manjoume Mike. How many times do I have to tell you? I am a duelist. Not a comic star.
Mike Still, living only with duel these days won't work.
Edo If you're not trusting power of duel, then quit the duel broadcasting! Manjoume! Tea!
Manjoume R-Right! Which tea...
Edo It doesn't matter which tea it is...
Manjoume Really...!?

In the storage where Manjoume stays, Emeralda tells him that the light and window have already been fixed. She turns on the light and tells him the next order from Edo to clean this room. Manjoume is pretty shocked by seeing a ton of cards on many shelves. It should be such a hard work to clean all cards here.

Many days have passed, and Manjoume has been following Edo around the world. He has to carry many bags and follow him, but there is a suitcase that Edo always carries by himself. Manjoume asks whether Edo doesn't want him to carry that bag, too. Edo says that there is an important card inside this bag, so he can't let Manjoume take it.

Manjoume collapses onto the floor as thinking whether working this hard will really make him become a pro. Edo really works hard on him. Emeralda walks into him after hearing interesting words. She asks whether Manjoume doesn't see what Edo is doing, bringing him to see Edo in the party. Emeralda tells Manjoume thatEdo is such a social guy who always brings people into his side. There is no other duelist like Edo in the world, and he tries his hard to become a pro. Emeralda thinks that a person like Manjoume, who has never tried to learn even though he stays close to an elite like Edo every day, will never succeed.

Emeralda's words really capture Manjoume's heart. At that night, Manjoume sneaks into the top of the building. Edo is now in a duel training on the top deck. Manjoume is very shocked by seeing the duel between Edo with 1000 LP against a trainer with 10000 LP. As Edo declares his turn, blood drops from his arm. Manjoume realizes that Edo has been injured since a lot of shake hand with many people.

The trainer tries to stop Edo not to push himself too hard. Edo refuses to stop. He claims that if he doesn't work thousand times harder than other people, normal person like him can't win. Edo tells the trainer to go on or he will fire him. Manjoume seems to learn a lot from Edo at this point. He returns to the storage and works hard on arranging the cards. His fighting spirit is lit up. He thinks that if Edo is working hard thousand times, he will work harder by ten thousand times more.

Emeralda I've had window and light bulb fixed. Then here is Edo's order. Tidy this place up.
Manjoume What is it this! This.... Are they all Duel Monsters cards? Edo... do you want me to carry that case as well?
Edo There's an important card in here. I can't leave this to you.
Manjoume Ri...right? Can I really become a pro by this? Edo always works me hard!
Emeralda You're saying interesting things.
Manjoume What do you mean?
Emeralda Can't you see? That deep concern. The grace that brings people whom he met to his side. There's almost no duelist like Edo in this world. Edo has tried hard continuously to become a pro. You, who have never tried to learn even though you see an elite like Edo every day, will never succeed.
Trainer Would it be okay? The usual?
Edo Stop concerning. I'm going!
Trainer/Edo Duel!
Manjoume Life 10000 VS 1000?!
Edo My turn!
Manjoume That!
Person 1 Thank you~
Person 2 I'm always on your side!
Person 3 I'm glad~
Person 4 Handshake with me as well~
Trainer Let's stop here, Edo! This is too much with that arm.
Edo No, that won't work. If I don't do thousand times more than other people, normal person like I can't win! Continue! Or else, I'll fire you!
Manjoume Magic, magic, magic, trap, monster, magic, magic... (if he does thousand times more...) I'll do ten thousand times more!
 
 
summary - second period
episode 165 summarized by Janime

 

After seeing Edo's tough training, Manjoume has changed very much. He becomes more serious to his job. At the following day, he manages everything smoothly by himself, contacting and arranging schedules with many agents like a real professional. When Manjoume comes to meet Edo and Emeralda in the morning, he shows Edo his duel disk and cloth today. Other stuffs have already prepared for him at the destination.

Manjoume takes out today schedule and guest listing that Edo has to meet today, handing it to Edo. If Edo can't look through it, Manjoume plans to explain later during their way. Manjoume looks at his watch and rushes Edo to go. It's almost time for the next schedule.

Edo understands but doubts what Manjoume has changed all of the sudden. Manjoume explains that he just does his job. Furthermore, he has already cancelled Edo's schedule for autograph and handshake. When Edo looks mad, Manjoume gives a reason on Edo's injuried hand. He would like Edo to treat it first. Although Edo looks unsatisfied at the first place, he understands that Manjoume really cares about his hand and doesn't complain. Manjoume did well as an assistant to manage all schedules in the best way for Edo.

Edo then gets up and is about to walk out. Manjoume says that Edo forgets his private suitcase on the sofa. It's the suitcase Edo previously said that there was an important card inside and he couldn't leave it to Manjoume. Edo replies that he can't use his hand, so he wants Manjoume to carry it for him. Manjoume doubts whether this will be good for him. Edo says that it can't be helped before walking out.

Manjoume hurries to carry Edo's suitcase and follows him out. Emeralda looks at Manjoume's and Edo's act and keeps smiling. This means that Edo has already accepted Manjoume and counted on him to take care of his important card in the suitcase. While Manjoume is going after Edo into the car, there is mysterious man in a black suit and hat hiding on a street and watching over their movement.

At Duel Academia, Judai, Sho, and Kenzan are fishing together at the seaport. Sho is looking worried, wondering whether Manjoume is doing well. Kenzan then changes the topic by saying that he has heard about Edo coming to Duel Academia to have a duel tomorrow. The opponent is said to be Judai, so Kenzan asks Judai whether this news is true. Judai smiles as replying that it's a requestfrom the principal and he is looking forward to enjoy it.

At night, Manjoume is still working onthe cards in the storage. He has almost done, and the cards are arranged in good order on shelves. On the sofa, Manjoume places the private suitcase of Edo over there. When the next morning comes, he has finished. The storage looks neat and the cards are all set. While Manjoume looks happy to his great job, he has just noticed that Edo's suitcase he placed on the sofa last night has disappeared. He quickly looks around but doesn't find it anywhere.

Manjoume hurries to report this to Edo (he has been in his Duel Academia uniform since last night). Edo certainly gets very angry and knocks Manjoume down after hearing this news. He says that there is an important card with high development costs in that suitcase. Meanwhile, Emeralda reports this to the chairman and tells Edo that the chairman is coming soon. Thus, Edo has to hold his temper and leave for his business. As Edo is walking away, Emeralda steps close to Manjoume with disappointing eyes. She hasn't expected that Manjoume would do such a mistake like this. Manjoume realizes that it's fully his fault, so he doesn't argue anything.

On the top of the building, Mike is waiting for Edo for broadcasting at Duel Academia today as planned. Manjoume who has already changed his dress into a professional suit runs to inform Mike that today broadcasting has already been cancelled because Edo is going on an urgent business. Mike doesn't look happy because this is a live broadcasting that can't be cancelled. Therefore, he asks Manjoume be in place of Edo. This is a made-up program, and Manjoume should do as Mike says for Edo. Manjoume looks concerned but he seems to have no choice.

At the duel arena of Duel Academia, there is going to be a special broadcasting match. The reporter announces the duelists in this game. Duel Academia's representative is Judai stepping onto the stage, and another is Edo Phoenix's number 1 pupil, [OjaManjoume]. Manjoume with Ojama Yellow suit then steps on stage. All audiences are very amused and enjoy Manjoume's Ojama performance. Kenzan and Sho doubt why things turn out to be the duel of Manjoume instead of Edo.

Mike is smiling and standing nearby. This is the special duel program he sets up for Manjoume to entertain the audiences by making him be OjaManjoume. Manjoume in Ojama suit waves his hand to the audiences and thanks for their cheer. People seem to like his performance very much. Judai wonders whether Manjoume is serious about this, but Manjoume yells to tell Judai to shut up. Thus, Judai says no more.

At the same time, Edo is going to meet the chairman in an office. Emeralda is standing nearby the chairman's seat. When Edo enters, the chairman hopes Edo understand why he was called here. He has already heard of the lost card. The card is actually the last D card created by the aggregated power of Senrigan Group. If the card is missing, Edo may have to receive a lot of penalty. Edo replies that he understands this well.

The chairman doubts what this means if Edo looks very convinced. Emeralda turns on the screen, and there appears the broadcasting duel between Judai and Manjoume at Duel Academia. The chairman is uncertain whether Edo realizes that Manjoume Group is Senrigan's rival and what Edo is doing. Emeralda reports that Manjoume's opponent is Yuki Judai, who is heard to be number one at Duel Academia.

The chairman tells Edo that he is also a gambler, so he will give him a chance. If Manjoume wins, he will forgive for Edo's mistake. However, if Manjoume loses, Edo has to take responsibility. Edo makes it clear that he will quit a pro if Manjoume loses. It's such a big bet in a pro business.

Edo Excuse me~
Chairman Edo, I hope you understand why you were called. That is the last D card created by the aggregated power of Senrigan Group. If that card is missing, you may have to receive a lot of penalty.
Edo I understand.
Chairman Well, what is this?
Edo Manjoume!?
Chairman Manjoume Group is our group's rival. Do you know what you are doing?
Emeralda The opponent is Yuki Judai. It's heard that he is the number 1 student at Duel Academia.
Chairman I am also a gambler. Edo, I will you a chance. If your young assistant wins, I will forgive for your mistake. But if he loses...
Edo It's clear. I will quit a pro.

At the duel stage, the duel between Manjoume and Judai begins. The first turn is with Manjoume. Drawing a card, he summons [Ojama Yellow - 2/0/1000] onto the field in defense position. People look excited by seeing Ojama Yellow. Manjoume then sets up a face down card and ends his turn.

The second turn is with Judai. He draws a card and summons [E-Hero Sparkman - 4/1600/1400] onto the field in attack position. Judai next equips it with [Spark Gun - Equipment Spell: You can only equip this card to E-Hero Sparkman. During the Main Phase of your turn, you can change the battle position of 1 face-up monster. After you use this effect 3 times, destroy this card].

The effect of Spark Gun can change the position of Ojama Yellow from defense to attack position. Ojama Yellow begins to cry because it has 0 attack point and can't fight. Without mercy, Judai declares the attack of E-Hero Sparkman to destroy Ojama Yellow. This strike reduces Manjoume's LP to 2400 (4000+0-1600).

Ojamable
TrapCard

At this timing, Manjoume opens his face-down trap card [Ojamable - Trap: You can only activate this card when a monster with Ojama in its name face-up on your field is destroyed and sent to the Cemetery. Return that card to the deck and shuffle. Afterwards, draw 2 cards from your deck and discard 1 card from your hand]. According to its effect, when Ojama monster or Ojama Yellow is destroyed, he can return it to his deck and shuffle it. Then, he can draw 2 cards and discard 1 card from his hand to the cemetery.

Manjoume decides to discard [Ojamagic - Spell: When this card is sent from the hand or the field to the Graveyard, add 1 each of Ojama Green, Ojama Yellow, and Ojama Black from your Deck to your hand]by this effect. Due to Ojamagic's effect, when it's sent to the graveyard, Manjoume can obtain Ojama Green, Ojama Yellow, and Ojama Black from his deck onto his hand. Judai doesn't do anything else, ending his turn at this point.

In Manjoume's turn, he draws a card and plays Polymerization to fuse three Ojama monsters on his hand into [Ojama King - 6/0/3000: Select up to 3 of your opponent's Monster Card Zones. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, the selected zones cannot be used]. People are very excited to Manjoume's successful play to summon Ojama King, cheering and calling him by the name "OjaManjoume!".

Next, Manjoume plays [Ojamandala - Spell: You can only activate this card if a Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black exist in your Graveyard. Pay 1000 Life Points, Special Summon 1 set of Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black from your Graveyard to the your side of the field]. Paying 1000 LP, he can special summon Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black in the graveyard onto the field in attack position. Manjoume's LP now decreases to 1400 (2400-1000).

Manjoume continues by playing [Ojama Delta Hurricane!! - Spell: You can only activate this card when Ojama Green, Ojama Yellow, and Ojama Black are face-up on your side of the field. Destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the field] with Ojama Trio. This spell allows Ojama Trio to destroy all cards on Judai's field. Thus, E-Hero Sparkman is destroyed.

As people are getting amazed by such various Ojama combos, Manjoume plays the next spell [Ojamuscle - Spell: Select 1 face-up Ojama King on the field. Destroy all monster(s) on the field that include Ojama in their card name, except the selectedOjama King. Increase the ATK of the selectedOjama King by 1000 points for each destroyed monster]. According to its effect, he can destroy all Ojama monsters on the field to increase the attack points of Ojama King by 1000 points for each destroyed monster.

Three Ojama monsters are destroyed, so the attack points of Ojama King go up to 6000 (0+1000*3). Manjoume declares the direct attack of Ojama King towards Judai directly. Judai doesn't have anything left, so he receives the direct hit and his LP decreases to 1000 (4000-3000). Setting up 2 face-down cards, Manjoume ends his turn. Judai smiles while thinking that Manjoume really gets stronger.

Manjoume at this state looks very confident to his deck and feels as if he clearly understands Judai's strategy. He has just realized that this is the result from when he arranged the cards for Edo in the storage. He thought about cards and looked through them thoroughly. This exercise really improves his skill, so Manjoume strongly believes that he will win this duel. The chairman watching the duel even thinks that Manjoume is performing such an interesting duel.

The turn comes to Judai. He draws a card and plays [O-Over Soul - Spell: Special summon 1 Normal Monster that includes E-Hero in its name from your Graveyard] to resummon E-Hero Sparkman from the graveyard onto the field in attack position.

Judai next plays [Double Fusion - Spell: This card can only be activated by paying 500 Life Points. You can use the following effect twice during this turn. Send Fusion-Material Monsters that are listed by a Fusion Monster Card from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck]. Paying 500 LP, he can do twice fusion in this turn.

Judai's LP decreases to 500 (1000-500) as he is fusing E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Burst Lady on his hand into [E-Hero Flame Wingman - 6/2100/1200: This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, inflict damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster].

Manjoume smiles shortly while seeing Judai moving into his plan. One of his face-down cards is [Hell Polymer - Trap: You can only activate this card when your opponent Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster. Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field to take control of that Fusion Monster]. If he activates this card at this perfect timing, he is able to take control E-Hero Flame Wingman of Judai and win this game.

Meanwhile, Mike is talking to Manjoume through a private speaker that a winning duel isn't necessary now. He wants Manjoume to learn that, in this world, to attract and amuse audiences is good enough and somehow more important than winning. At the same time, Judai continues the second fusion in this turn by the effect of Double Fusion. He fuses E-Hero Flame Wingman and E-Hero Sparkman into [E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman - 8/2500/2100: This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each card in your Graveyard that includes E-Hero in its card name. When this card destroys a monster as a result of battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster].

The special effect of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman can increase its attack points by 300 points for each E-Hero monsters in the graveyard. There are E-Hero Burst Lady, E-Hero Featherman, E-Hero Sparkman, and E-Hero Flame Wingman in the cemetery, so the attack points of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman go up to 3700 (2500+300*4).

Judai declares the attack of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman towards Ojama King. At this moment, Manjoume activates his face-down trap card, surprising Judai very much. However, instead of activating Hell Polymer, he activates [Ojama Trio - Trap: Special Summon 3 Ojama Tokens (Beast-Type/LIGHT/2 Stars/ATK 0/Def 1000) in Defense Position on your opponent's side of the field. The tokens cannot be used as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon. When an Ojama Tokens is destroyed, inflict 300 points of damage to the controller's Life Points] to special summon Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black in defense position onto Judai's field.

Still, Ojama King has to receive the attack of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman. Ojama King is destroyed, and Manjoume's LP decreases to 700 (1400+3000-3700). Judai then activates the special effect of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman. When it can destroy a monster, it can inflict additional damage equal to the destroyed monster to the opponent. Thus, Manjoume has to receive further 3000 damage points from the attack points of Ojama King. He is knocked out and his LP finally decreases to 0 (700-3000).

The audiences all laugh and think that OjaManjoume is so funny. They are amused by that Manjoume activated the trap card without meaning. Manjoume activated Ojama Trio to summon Ojama Trio onto Judai's field, but it didn't help him anything. Mike seems very pleased by the result and Manjoume's performance. Manjoume did well by amusing the audiences rather than winning the game. Even the chairman watching the game can't stop laughing, but Edo doesn't seem to enjoy it. He closes his eyes without any comment.

After the duel, Judai walks into Manjoume. He accepts that Manjoume today was very strong. However, Manjoume seemed to lose because of attracting attention. Judai is disappointed if it was what Manjoume has learned from Edo. Manjoume knows well what Judai's saying. He accepts it and doesn't argue anything.

After the duel, Manjoume goes back to Edo's room. However, he sees nothing left over there. When he goes to the card storage where he normally stayed, no card is left, either. Manjoume asks Emeralda standing in front of the storage what all of these mean. Emeralda explains that Edo is responsible for the lost card, so he bet everything on Manjoume's duel today.

The result turned out that Manjoume lost. Manjoume turns his face away and knows that everything's his fault. Emeralda tells him that a duelist loses everything when he loses in a game. Manjoume runs out to search for Edo. Edo is walking on a street when Manjoume finds him. Edo turns to Manjoume shortly and says coldly that Manjoume is fired. Then, he turns back and leaves him without saying anything else.

Judai Today, you were very strong. But, you lost because of attracting attention. If that was what you've learned from Edo, I'm disappointed.
Manjoume What does this mean?
Emeralda Because of the responsibility Edo had on his lost card, he bet everything on your duel today.
Manjoume What!!
Emeralda But you lost. Duelist is someone who loses everything when he loses in a game.
Manjoume Edo!
Edo Manjoume? You're fired.

to be continued...

Sho Big Brother, Manjoume-Kun, Edo's attendant's fired. Moreover, Edo's whereabouts are still...
Judai Hum....a pro is so tough~
Sho Heeee~ How cold you are, Big Brother~
Judai Don't be worried. Both Manjoume and Edo will certainly revive. Sho, don't you think so?
Sho That's right. Next, [Armed Dragon VS Dragoon D End]! A person with high pride like Manjoume-Kun...can he be with Edo's attendant?
Judai Duel of fate? No, it's the serious duel of those two. I am looking forward to seeing it.
