episode 23 summarized by Janime


In the forest near Duel Academia, Professor Chronoss is getting furious because Yuki Judai has become the school representative for the interschool match. He can't accept this fact and tries to find some wayout. Then, he moves into the chicken coop as he counts the number in Chiness (1=i, 2 = er, 3=san, 4=sui). The chicken get frightened and start attacking his head. Professor Chronos seems to love his hair so much, trying to protect it. He goes through a secret entrance to the underground. However, the chicken keep on attacking his head until he falls down to the secret way with some chicken. Professor Chronos tries to take out those chicken from his hand, saying that he isn't a thief who comes to steal their eggs. He throws the chicken away and closes the door quickly. He could see how cruel they were. Anyway, he doesn't have time to take care of them.

Professor Chronos puts on some strange body suit and enters the inner room. When the first door is open, there is anoter sealed door behind. Then, the bridge is moving to link the sealed door so that Professor Chronos can go across. He says that he is going to do Judai some favor. Also, he is going to open a Pandora's box. No matter how fearful the result is, the final remaining thing is hope. The last thing inside Pandora's box is always hope. Professor Chronos slides his card to open the sealed door and calls someone inside to come out.

At Duel Academia, Judai is paying attention on contructing his deck in the interschool match. If he put some cards in, he has to remove some cards out. Judai gets no answer and starts having a headache. Then, his friends come closer to him. Misawa tells Judai to add in his favorite card, Water Dragon, in his deck. Asuka also tells him to add her Etoile Cyber, Hayato tries to offer his Des Koala, and Sho would like to give him his Power Bond. They are trying to present the advantages of their cards to Judai. Anyway, Judai becomes more frustrated. He yells out and tells everybody to shut up and not to interfere. Misawa explains that they have to do so because this duel is the school match. Thus, everybody would like to fight with Judai for his and her school. Judai isn't pleased, asking whether this duel is actually only for the school. He claims that this is his own duel, so he would like to have fun with it. Misawa understands his feeling very well. The duel isn't about dueling for anyone but for himself. Nevertheless, Misawa asks again whether Judai doesn't reconsider adding his Water Dragon. Of course, Sho reoffers his Power Bond, Asuka offers her Blade Skatcher, and Hayato offers Des Koala. Seemingly, people don't listen to him and would like to be some parts of the interschool match by their cards. Judai can't stand listening, tells people to shut up again, picks up his duel disk, and runs away quickly. People seem not to let him go, following him and trying to add their cards into his deck.

Judai runs away and goes up to the roof floor of Duel Academia. He would like to find some place where nobody can interfere to construct his deck alone. Although he thinks that no one knows this place, Judai sees a boy hanging around there. The boy greets Judai and tells him that the weather is pretty good today. It makes him feel that he doesn't want to do anything. Then, Hane Kuriboh appears from Judai's deck and dances around. The boy asks whether cute Hane Kuriboh is Judai's monster spirit. Judai is certainly getting surprised by that the boy could see his Hane Kuriboh. The boy also asks him whether he is Yuki Judai. Judai is amazed again and asks how the boy knows his name. Then, the boy introduces himself [Motegi Mokeo]. He understands that this may be very sudden, but he would like to duel against Judai. In other words, he would like to try dueling against someone who can speak to spirits. Judai notices that Motegi may be a duelist obtaining some special power. Thinking that this may be an interesting duel, he accepts Motegi's challenge. At the same time, his friends have finally found him. They ask what Judai is gonna do here. Judai tells them that he is going to duel against Motegi. Meanwhile, Professor Chronos with the strange body suit is hiding himself on a pole of the roof floor. He has expected before that Judai would come here, so he let Singore Motegi wait for him here. His plan is to let Motegi duel against Judai. Something terrible is gonna happen in this duel.

The first duel comes with Motegi. He draws a card and summons Moke Moke in a defense position [Moke Moke - 1/300/100]. Seeing such a cute Moke Moke monster, people are very impressed. Then, Hayato feels sleepy suddenly. Professor Chronos starts smilying and laughing since he exactly knows what is gonna affect them next. Setting two face-down cards, Motegi ends his turn.

Human-Wave Tactics
Trap Card

It is now Judai's turn. Drawing a card, he summons E-Hero Sparkman in an attack position [E-Hero Sparkman - 4/1600/1400]. Moreover, he plays Polymerization to fuse E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Burst Lady on his hand to E-Hero Flame Wingman [E-Hero Flame Wingman - 8/2100/1800: This monster can be summoned only by fusion. When this Monster destroys a Monster as a result of Battle, do direct damage to your opponent equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster]. Anyway, Motegi doesn't feel worried at all. He claps his hand and is impressed by Judai's great monster. Judai first lets E-Hero Sparkman attack Moke Moke by Spark Crush. Suddenly, Motegi opens his face-down permanent trap card, Human-Wave Tactics [Human-Wave Tactics ~ Jinkai Senjyuttsu - Permanent Trap: During each End Phase, choose a number of Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters from your deck equal to the number of your Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters that were destroyed and went to the Cemetery as a result of Battle during this turn, and Special Summon them. Afterward, shuffle the deck]. Due to its effect, in ending phases of both sides, Motegi can specially summon a monster with level 2 or less from his deck that has the same level 2 or less of the destroyed monster in battle in that turn. However, Judai keeps on his attacking. After E-Hero Sparkman destroy Moke Moke, Judai lets E-Hero Flame Wingman attack Motegi directly. Getting the direct strong hit, Motegi's LP decreases to 1900 (4000-2100). Then, Judai ends his turn. According to the special of Human-Wave Tactics, in this Judai's ending phase, Motegi summons Happy Lover specially in an attack position [Happy Lover - 2/800/500].

Mokey Mokey Smackdown
Magic Card

Turn is back to Motegi. He still summons Moke Moke in an attack mode. At this moment, people are still impressed by the cute appearance of Moke Moke until Judai gets tired of their acts. Even Misawa shares this feeling. Asuka says that she also would like to have one of that card in her deck. Anyway, Hayato still feels sleepy without reasons. Then, Motegi plays the continuous magic card, Mokey Mokey Smackdown, and lets Happy Lover attack E-Hero Sparkman immediately [Mokey Mokey Smackdown ~ Ikareru Moke Moke - Continuous Magic: When a Moke Moke is face-up on your Field, if an Angel Sub-Type Monster on your Field is destroyed, until this turn's End Phase,the attack strength of Moke Moke on your Field become 3000]. Judai is getting surprised because his E-Hero Sparkman has much higher attack points than Happy Lover's. Motegi has already realized that but he sill confirms his attack. Happy Lover attacks E-Hero Sparkman by Happy Burning; however, E-Hero Sparkman counters the attack to Happy Lover. Thus, Happy Lover with less attack points is destroyed, and Motegi's LP reduces to 1100 (1900+800-1600). Meanwhile, Moke Moke looks as if it is freaking out. According to the ability of Mokey Mokey Smackdown, Moke Moke's attack points become 3000 until the ending phase when an angel-type monster is destroyed in this turn. Since Happy Lover is destroyed, Moke Moke can gain this attack points. People applaud and still admire the cute image and great effect of Moke Moke. Judai is getting annoyed, asking them directly which side they are with. Anyway, Misawa answers happily that whoever is fine.

Mysterious Chinese Pot
Magic Card

After that, Motegi lets Moke Moke attack E-Hero Flame Wingman, so Judai's LP goes down to 3100 (4000+2100-3000). Then, Motegi plays the magic card, Myterious Chinese Pot, from his hand [Mysterious Chinese Pot ~ Shingi No Chuka Nabe - Instant Magic: Sacrifice 1 Monster face-up on your Field. Gain Life Points equal to that Monster's attack or defense strength]. Due to its effect, when Motegi sacrifices Moke Moke, he can gain his LP equal to its attack or defense points. Therefore, his LP increases to 4100 (1100+3000). In his ending phase, he activates the special ability of the permanent trap, Human-Wave Tactics. Because Happy Lover is destroyed in this turn, he can summon a 2 level or less monster from his deck. Thus, he decides to summon Haniwa in a defense position [Haniwa - 2/500/500]. At this moment, Misawa tells Judai to try his best. Asuka adds that the battle isn't good and suggest him go with peace. Then, everbody cheers up Moke Moke while Hayato has already slept. Judai is getting confused and doesn't understand what is going on. Professor Chronos realizes that the special power of Motegi has already been activated; it is the special Moke Moke power.

 
summary - second period
episode 23 translated by Janime


While Judai is getting confused by the situation, Professor Chronos steps down from the pole with his strange body suit. He explains the special ability, removal power, of Motegi. Three years ago, Motegi was the number 1 duelist in Duel Academia. Of course, Judai hardly believes this story. However, the duel style of Motegi later changed. All of his opponents seemed to lose their interest in the duel and then left the school and island. Judai sees that the situation is similar to what his friends are acing weird now. They seem to lose their consciousnes, merely saying "Moke Moke". Even Motegi doesn't understand himself and his power either. People usually become like this after dueling against him. As a result, for the school and other duelists, Motegi was isolated on a separate dorm. Judai feels that that his is such a cruel act for Motegi. However, Professor Chronos explains that the place is arranged like a paradise and best place for him, a solitary island with perfect facilities. Anyway, Judai is still confused why Motegi has just moved out and whether he doesn't want to duel. In fact, Motegi heard Judai's story from Professor Chronos. He assumes that Judai may be able to hear the voice of spirits or deal with them as he does. Professor Chronos seems not to understand what Motegi is talking about the spirits. Motegi tells Judai that he would like to release his cute spirit from the duel. They believe that the monsters would become happier.

Looking at Hane Kuriboh, Judai feels sorry to Motegi. Hane Kuriboh enjoys the way it is in the duel. Then, Judai starts his turn and continues the game. Drawing a card, he summons E-Hero Wildman in an attack position and lets it attack Haniwa at once [E-Hero Wildman - 4/1500/1600: This Monster cannot be effected by Trap cards]. Continuously, E-Hero Sparkman attacks Motegi directly, so his LP reduces to 2500 (4100-1600). Professor Chronos then moves out and lets the game run. Setting a face-down card, Judai ends his turn. At the end phase of Judai's turn, Motegi activates the ability of Human-Wave Tactics again. He decides to summon Happy Lover specially in an attack position. At this moment, Professor Chronos sees something weird. Judai still looks enthusiastic and active. He seemingly doesn't lose his attention on the duel as the others do at all. Professor Chronos doesn't get what this mean and just keep on asking for the reasons.

King Moke Moke
Monster Card

It is now Motegi's turn. He draws a card and plays it, Pot of Greed, to draw additional two cards [Pot of Greed ~ Kou Yuku Na Tsubo: Draw 2 cards from your deck]. He then plays the magic card, Dark Assembly Line, from his hand. [Dark Assembly Line ~ Yami No Ryosan Kousou - Magic: Choose 2 Normal Monsters in your Cemetery and put them into your hand]. According to its effect, he can take two monsters in his cemetery onto his hand. He takes back two Moke Moke, so he now has 3 Moko Moke on his hand. Also, he plays Polymerization to fuse three Moke Moke to King Moke Moke [King Moke Moke - 6/300/100: When this card is removed from the Field, you can Special Summon as many Moke Moke from your Cemetery as possible]. Motegi declares the attack of King Moke Moke (300) against E-Hero Wildman (1500); however, it is countered and destroyed by E-Hero Wildman. At this moment, Motegi's LP decreases to 1300 (2500+300-1500). Motegi activates the special ability of King Moke Moke. When King Moke Moke is destroyed, all Moke Moke from the graveyard can be summoned specially onto the field. Thus, three Moke Moke with 300 attack points are returned to the field. Suddenly, the power of Moke Moke is released. They launch their sound wave around the area until the glass mask of Professor Chronos's body suit is broken, and he finally falls down. After that, Motegi lets Happy Lover attack E-Hero Wildman. Repeatedly, when Happy Lover is destroyed, the effect of the magic card, Mokey Mokey Smackdown, is activated. It makes each Moke Moke's attack points become 3000.

Holy Elf's Blessing
Trap Card

Motegi lets the first Moke Moke attack E-Hero Wildman, and the second Moke Moke attack E-Hero Sparkman. Moke Moke attacks by its sound wave, so E-Hero Wildman is destroyed. Judai's LP reduces to 1600 (3100+1500-3000). Meanwhile, Judai opens his face-down trap card, Hero Barrier, to negate the attack of the second Moke Moke against E-Hero Sparkman [Hero Barrier - Trap: You can only activate this card if you have a Elemental Hero on your Field when your oppponent attacks with a Monster. That attack is negated]. Anyway, Motegi lets the third Moke Moke attack E-Hero Sparkman again. When E-Hero Sparkman is destroyed, Judai's LP reduce significantly to 200 (1600+1600-3000). At the end of Motegi's phase, he summons Happy Lover back to the field according to the effect of Human-Wave Tactics. Moreover, he opens his face-down trap card, Holy Elf's Blessing, to gain 300 LP for each monster on his field [Holy Elf's Blessing ~ Shukufuku - Trap: Gain 300 Life Points for each Monster on the Field]. There are 4 monstes on Motegi's field, 3 Moke Moke and 1 Happy Lover, so his LP goes up to 1800 (600+300*4).

Hero Heart
Magic Card

Judai feels a bit depressed, but he still keeps his spirit and continues the game. In this final turn, he draws a card and summons E-Hero Bubbleman in an attack position [E-Hero Bubbleman - 4/800/1200: If this card is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it in attack mode. When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, Special Summoned, or Reverse Summoned when it is the only card on your Field, draw 2 cards from your deck]. At this point, even Motegi and all of this monsters are also wondering why Judai hasn't lost his attention to the game yet. Judai replies confidently and actively that he has no time to lose interest in such an exciting duel like this. When E-Hero Bubbleman is summoned while there are no other cards on the field, Judai can draw additional two cards. After that, he plays the magic card, Hero Heart, to make E-Hero Bubbleman attack twice in this turn [Hero Heart - Magic: You can only activate this card when you have a E-HERO face-up on your Field. Half that Monster's attack strength, that Monster can attack two times during this turns Battle Phase]. However, its attack points will be halved, or E-Hero Bubbleman attack points become 400 (800/2). Judai lets E-Hero Bubbleman attack Moke Moke. Motegi doesn't understand why Judai attacked since he should have expected that Moke Moke would gain 3000 attack points from the effect of Mokey Mokey Smackdown. As Motegi said, the other two Moke Moke's attack points finally become 3000 when the first Moke Moke is destroyed. At this moment, Motegi's LP reduces to 1700 (1800+300-400).

Bubble Illusion
Magic Card

After that, Judai declares the second attack of E-Hero Bubbleman against the second Moke Moke while he activates the magic card, Bubble Illusion, that allows him to play a trap card from his hand [Bubble Illusion - Instant Magic: You can only activate this card if you have a E-HERO Bubbleman face-up on your Field. You can activate 1 Trap card from your hand]. As a result, Judai activates the trap card, Dimensional Tunnel Mirror Gate, to change the control of his monster and a monster of the opponent field [ Dimensional Tunnel Mirror Gate ~ Ichigen Tunnel Mirror Gate - Trap: You can only activate this card if you have a Monster on the Field. During this turn's Battle Phase, change control of 1 Monster on you and your opponent's Field]. Judai, therefore, takes control Moke Moke as E-Hero Bubbleman becomes Motegi's monster. E-Hero Bubbleman is still during its attacking, so it attacks Moke Moke (3000) on Judai's field. Motegi's LP finally decreases to 0 (1700+400-3000).

Judai walks closer to Motegi and says that he really enjoys the duel as usual, and Motegi wasn't bad at all. Motegi tells him that he pushed himself too much, so he feels very sleepy now. Saying good night to Judai, Motegi falls down on the floor and sleeps. Currently, Judai has just noticed that everybody is sleeping, yelling out loud. Of course, Professor Chronos' plan to destroy Judai's interest in the duel fails.
