Hero Spirits Trap Card

The duel between North School and Duel Academia, Judai (1600) VS Manjyome (3600), is continued. Manjyome declares the final attack of Armed Dragon LV7 against Judai who has no monster left on the field. At this moment, Judai opens his face-down trap card, Hero Spirits. Then, E-Hero Featherman reappears to protect him from the strike [Hero Spirits - Trap: You can only activate this card during the Battle Phase of a turn in which a Monster on your side of the Field that included Elemental Hero in its' card name was destroyed as a result of battle. Make the Battle Damage from 1 of your opponent's Monsters 0]. Manjyome is wondering what is exactly protecting Judai. Judai explains that this Hero Spirits can be activated when his E-Hero monster is destroyed. Also, the spirit of the destroyed can appear to protect him, so he gets no battle damage. Because E-Hero Featherman was destroyed previously by Genocide Cutter of Armed Dragon LV7, it could come out to protect Judai following the effect. Manjyome accepts Judai's defense; however, he thinks that there is still nothing that can beat his Armed Dragon LV7. He then ends his turn.

It is now Judai's turn. He draws a card and gets Hane Kuriboh. Judai is glad to see that his good partner comes out in this perfect time. He summons it in a defense mode and ends his turn quickly [Winged Kuriboh ~ Hane Kuriboh - 1/300/200: When this Monster is destroyed in Battle, all Battle Damage is reduced to 0 for this turn]. Manjyome is getting annoyed, asking for how long Judai is running away by that kind of thing. Meanwhile, the spirit of Ojama Yellow appears and talks to Manjyome. It thinks that Hane Kuriboh may know something about its siblings. Anyway, Manjyome gets annoyed and tells it to shut up. He hasn't expected it appear in such an important duel like this. Ojama Yellow isn't pleased with his words either, trying to hide behind his back. While it is talking to Manjyome, Hane Kuriboh jumps up on Judai's shoulder and points him to look at Manjyome carefully. Of course, Judai is amazed when he can also see the spirit of Ojama Yellow. He asks him what it is. Manjyome becomes more frustrated, jumping around to catch Ojama Yellow and telling it to go back since he isn't gonna use it anyway. He can finally catch it until it disappears. Then, Manjyome starts his turn.

Manjyome declares the attack against the weak monster, defending Hane Kuriboh (Hane Kuriboh isn't pleased with Manjyome's words because he calls it "Sako" that means a small fish or a weak monster. Kaiba always use this word with Yugi and Jyonouchi, too). When Hane Kuriboh is destroyed, Manjyome ends his turn quickly. At this point, Sho is wondering why Manjyome hadn't activate the special ability, Genocide Cutter, of Armed Dragon LV7 before the main attack: sending a monster into graveyard to destroy all monsters of Judai's field with less attack points than the sent monster. If Manjyome had done so, he could have first destroyed Hane Kuriboh by Genocide Cutter, done the second attack against Judai directly, and won the game. Misawa explains that the reason is with the special ability of Kuriboh that can protect Judai from battle damage in this turn anyway.

Special Hurricane Magic Card

Turn now comes back to Judai. He plays Pot of Greed to draw additional two cards and finally gets some key cards [Pot of Greed ~ Kou Yuku Na Tsubo: Draw two cards from your deck]. Manjyome is certainly curious about them. Discarding a card into his graveyard, Judai plays Special Hurricane from his hand to destroy the specially levelled up monster of Manjyome: or the special summoned monsters on the field [Special Hurricane - Magic: Discard 1 card from your hand. Destroy all Special Summoned Monsters on the Field]. Thus, the strong hurricane blows out and destroys Armed Dragon LV7, which was summoned specially by the ability of Armed Dragon LV5. Hayato is impressed by Judai's great performance. Although the level-up monster is superior, it requires the special summon. Sho is glad to see that Judai could catch this weak point and finally defeated Armed Dragon. After that, Judai summons E-Hero Wildman in an attack position, and lets it attack Manjyome Thunder directly [E-Hero Wildman - 4/1500: This Monster cannot be effected by Trap cards]. Getting the strong direct hit, Manjyome is blown away as his LP reduces to 2100 (3600-1500). Here is the end of Judai's turn.

Meanwhile, Principle Sameshima tells Principle Ichinose that the reward of the winner becomes uncertain during this time. Principle Ichinose can't argue him back, shouting loudly and telling Thunder to stand up. All North School students also start calling "Thunder" together out loud. On the other side, Chosaku brother is getting furious by Jun's play. He doesn't understand what Jun is doing and why he isn't using his given cards.

The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension Magic Card

Manjyome tries to get up and keeps on his turn. Drawing a card, he plays the magic card, The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension, to take back two monsters with "LV" from his graveyard and then shuffles his deck [The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension ~ Yojigen No Haka - Instant Magic: Add two monsters in your graveyard that have "LV" in their card name to your deck and shuffle it]. Therefore, Manjyome decides to return Armed Dragon LV3 and LV7 to his deck. After that, he summons Armed Dragon LV3 in a defense position. He sets up a face-down card, ending his turn. At this moment, Principle Ichinose is impressed by Manjyome's great play and admires him as his right choice of the school representative.

Manjyome reminds himself of what his brother told him before; he was a drop out among brothers and he wouldn't be forgiven for the defeat. He looks towards his brothers on the arena, so Judai can see that Manjyome's attention goes to somewhere. Seeing Manjyome's brothers, Judai realizes that he saw Manjyome crying before in the restroom. Manjyome merely thought that he would like to win and keep on winning. Judai understands this pressure from his brothers very well. At the same time, Judai seems to hear Sho's voice inside his mind. Sho is calling him and asking what's wrong with him and whether he doesn't enjoy the duel. Thus, Judai has just realized that the duel isn't only about the victory or fighting for people. Nevertheless, it is that you have fun for yourself. Judai calls out Manjyome's name loudly, but Manjyome only reminds Judai of the proper suffix, Thunder. People start cheering and calling "Manjyome Thunder" again.

" Duel? I see. The duel isn't only about the winning. It isn't about fighting for anybody, either. The duel is that you have fun with it. Manjyome!"

Graveyard of Revival Trap Card

Now, it is Judai's turn. Drawing a card, he lets E-Hero Wildman attack Armed Dragon LV3. Suddenly, Manjyome opens his face-down trap card, Graveyard of Revival [Graveyard of Revival ~ Fukkatsu No Hakaana: You can only activate this card if your opponent destroys a Monster of yours as a result of battle and sends into the Cemetery. Each player Special Summons 1 Monster from their Cemetery in defense mode. The mode of that Monster cannot be changed]. This card can be activated only if a monster is destroyed in battle. Both Judai and Manjyome are allowed to one monster from their graveyards onto the field in a defense position. Thus, Manjyome resummons Armed Dragon LV5 from his cemetery. Sho sees that although Armed Dragon LV5 can be summoned, it can't change the position due to the effect of the trap card. However, Misawa adds that though it is in the defense mode, Manjyome can still activate its powerful special ability; Send 1 Monster Card from your hand to the Graveyard to destroy 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field with an ATK equal to or less than the ATK of the sent monster. He realizes that Judai's graveyard now contains merely low-level monsters. Thus, only the special effect of Armed Dragon LV5 is enough to destroy Judai's monsters.

Hero Kids Monster Card

Manjyome tells Judai to hurry to resummon a monster from his graveyard following the effect of his trap card. Judai can expect that Manjyome is propably planning some strategy to summon Armed Dragon LV7 in the next turn. Anyway, he doesn't think that he would end up here. Manjyome tells him that it doesn't matter what kind of cards will come out because Judai cards aren't superior to his. Manjyome's thought is the same as what Misawa analized before; Judai's cards in the graveyard are all in low level, and they are gonna be destroyed by the special ability of Armed Dragon anyway. Then, Judai decides to take Hero Kids from his graveyard and summons it onto the field in the defense position [Hero Kids - 2/300/600: If this Monster is Special Summoned, you can Special Summon Monsters from your deck with the same name to the Field]. Of course, all people especially Manjyome are amazed by when Judai sent Hero Kids to the graveyard. Judai smiles and explains the opportunity that he could discard a card into his cemetery; previously, Judai discarded Hero Kids to activate the ability of Special Hurricane. Moreover, according to the special effect of Hero Kids, if it is specially summoned, the same monsters with the same name can be summoned from the deck onto the field. In other words, other two Hero Kids are summoned specially from Judai's deck onto the field in the defense position. Setting a face-down card, Judai ends his turn.

Level Up! Magic Card

Manjyome smiles and tells him that many weak monsters still mean nothing; they are useless. He claims that his Armed Dragon LV5 is going to evolve in this turn (That means the special effect of Armed Dragon LV7, Genocide Cutter, can destroy all monsters on the field). In his turn, he draws a card and plays the magic card, Level Up! [Level Up! - Magic: Send one face-up monster on your side of the field that has "LV" in its card name to the graveyard to activate this card. Special summon the monster that is written in the card text of that monster from your hand or deck, ignoring the summonning conditions]. Due to its effect, Manjyome sends a LV monster on his field to the graveyard to summon specially a LV monster from his hand or deck. Undoubtly, he sends Armed Dragon LV5 to the cemetery to resummon Armed Dragon LV7 onto the field. Most students start cheering again while Judai's friends are all worried about Judai. The threat of this great monster is coming back. Manjyome tells Judai that he won't be defeated by him again. He must win, no matter what.

Armed Changer Magic Card

Armed Dragon LV7 finally revives. Its image is currently broadcasted all over TV channels. Then, Manjyome plays the equipment magic card, Armed Changer, with his dragon and lets it attack E-Hero Wildman at once [Armed Changer - Equipment Magic: Discard 1 card from your hand in order to Equip this card to a Monster. When this Monster destroys a Monster as a result of battle, return 1 Monster with equal or less attack strength than the destroyed Monster from your Cemetery into your hand]. When E-Hero Wildman is destroyed, Judai's LP goes down to 300 (1600+1500-2800). According to the effect of Armed Changer, when his equipped monster can destroy a monster in battle, he can take back a monster with equal or less attack points than the destroyed monster's from his cemetery onto his hand. Thus, Manjyome decides to return Masked Dragon to his hand (The monster that he summoned in his first turn). After that, he activates the special ability of Armed Dragon LV7. Sending Masked Dragon back to the cemetery again, he can destroy all monsters on the opponent's field. Kaiser sees that Masked Dragon has 1400 attack points that are higher than all attack points of each monster, Hero Kids 3/300/600, on Judai's field. Therefore, all monsters of Judai are totally destroyed. Sho is getting more worried since Judai's monsters are all gone. Manjyome laughs loudly, saying that Judai can't defeat his Armed Dragon at all. While the TV is broadcasting Manjyome's great play, Manjyome suggests Judai surrender in front of the crowd.

Principle Sameshima doesn't think that Judai is gonna do this anyway. He is right. Judai has never thought of the surrender. Judai believes that some miracle may happen in the next turn that is also gonna be his final draw. Furthermore, he tells him that he would like to duel against a serious Manjyome Thunder next time. Manjyome is certainly getting more frustrated when Judai told him that he wasn't serious in this duel. He can feel something different since Manjyome doesn't look in the front (but towards his brothers). Thus, Judai hopes that he will have the real fun duel with Manjyome again next time. Judai tries to tell Manjyome to enjoy the duel. Manjyome has never thought about the fun of the duel before, getting more confused.

Miracle Kids Trap Card

Final turn comes to Judai. He draws a card, gets the magic card, The Warrior Returning Alive, and plays it to get back a warrior monster from his cemetery onto his hand [The Warrior Returning Alive ~ Senshi No Seikan: Place 1 Warrior Monster from your Cemetery into your hand]. He decides to take back E-Hero Featherman from the cemetery. Then, he plays the magic card, Polymerization, to fuse E-Hero Featherman and E-Hero Burst Lady on his hand to E-Hero Flame Wingman [E-Hero Flame Wingman - 8/2100/2800: 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]. Manjyome is still wondering how Judai is gonna beat him because Armed Dragon LV7's attack points (2800) are still higher. Judai tells him that his combo has already been complete, openning his face-down trap card, Miracle Kids [Miracle Kids - Trap: Reduce the attack strength of 1 of your opponent's Monsters on the Field by 400 for each Hero Kids in your Cemetery]. Due to its effect, Judai can decrease the attack points of Armed Dragon LV7 by 400 for each Hero Kids in his graveyard. There are three Hero Kids destroyed by Genocide Cutter of Armed Dragon LV7 in the previous turn in Judai's graveyard, so the attack points of Armed Dragon LV7 decrease by 1200 (400*3). Its final attack points become 1600 (2800-1200). Judai declares the victory at the same time when he lets E-Hero Flame Wingman attack Armed Dragon LV7. The reporter sees that the situation doesn't look good when Armed Dragon LV7 is burnt by Flame Shoot of E-Hero Flame Wingman. Thus, he tells his staffs to cut the broadcast. All channels turn to the weather report instead. North School students start crying when they see Armed Dragon burnt. At this moment, Manjyome's LP goes down to 1600 (2100+1600-2100). Sho is glad to see that Judai can defeat Armed Dragon LV7 again. Misawa adds that E-Hero Flame Wingman still has another special effect to deal damage equal to the destroyed monster directly to Manjyome. Asuka realizes that Manjyome's LP is 1600 while destroyed Armed Dragon LV7's attack points are also 1600. That means Manjyome's LP goes down to 0 (1600-1600), and he is eventually defeated.

People are glad by the victory of Judai as Manjyome falls down on the floor. Judai declares his victory but he doesn't say that he enjoys the duel as usual. Then, Manjyome's brothers walk in and talk to him. They ask what Manjyome did and claim that he actually dirtied Manjyome family. Manjyome tries to apologize, but they don't listen. They even ask why Manjyome didn't use their give cards to create a stronger deck. Manjyome, in fact, would like to win the duel by his own deck. Shouji brother can't control his emotion, holding Manjyome's cloth up and calling him such a stupid brother. Chousaku also feels disappointed by his drop-out brother. Anyway, Judai interferes and tries to stop them. Two brothers think that Judai is an outside and he has nothing to deal with the family problem. Two brothers explain that the result is everything for Manjyome family. In other words, only the result of the victory is valuable since they spent and invested a lot of money on this duel. Judai tries to explain that Manjyome, in fact, could defeat them. Manjyome had to fight in the duel and against the pressure and desperation that they gave to him. Although he was defeated in the game, he could get over both of them. Also, the duel doesn't mean only the victory, but it can teach people many things. Manjyome tells Judai to stop talking because he doesn't want to look worse. Also, he tells his brothers to go back. North school students start calling "Thunder" and tell the two brothers to go back. Therefore, they Shouji and Chosaku brothers leave Duel Academia by their helicopters.

Judai	I won!
Chousaku Brother	Jun, what did you do? Do you really understand what you did?
Shouji Brother	You dirtied Manjyome family.
Manjyome	I am sorry, brothers!
Shouji Brother	You...the cards that we gave you....why?
Chousaku Brother	Why didn't you use them? If you had used them, you would have created a stronger deck.
Manjyome	I would like to win by my own deck.
Shouji Brother	What a stupid brother!
Chousaku Brother	That is why we said that you were always a drop out!
Judai	Stop there, you guys! That's enough. Manjyome already fought by his best.
Chousaku Brother	The stranger like you is interfering our family matter.
Judai	If you were his brothers, you shouldn't have that attitude, should you? Both I and Manjyome Thunder dueled by everything we had.
Shouji Brother	For us, the half progress means nothing. The result more matters.
Chronos	I see...I see...the result is important, isn't it!...but that is irritating.
Chousaku Brother	For our brothers, the result is the important thing. The result is everything! That means the victory is everthing! We spent a lot of money especially on this duel.
Shouji Brother	This bastard dirtied our faces.
Judai	But...he won you, didn't he? Thunder fought not only in the duel but also against the pressure and desperation that you gave him. Suffering Thunder could at least get over you!
Chronos	That's right. As you said rationally...ah...you didn't call me anyway...
Judai	The duel doesn't mean only the victory. It is the thing that you can more learn from.
Manjyome	Shut up, Judai!
Judai	Manjyome...
Manjyome	That's enough. Don't make me look more miserable.
Chousaku Brother	Jun!
Manjyome	Brothers, please go back!

At the seaport, people are sending Manjyome and the others back to North School. However, Manjyome decides not to go back because he has something to do at Duel Academia. the ex-king of North Schoo, [Edogawa], is getting amazed when Manjyome tells him that he is going to return the seat of the king to him. Principle Sameshima is glad to accept Manjyome back to the school since Manjyome has been the student here from the beginning. In that case, Principle Ichinose is trying to get his deck back from Manjyome.

Sho	You are going back, aren't you?
Judai	Good luck, Manjyome. Let's duel again later.
Manjyome	No, I won't go back to North School. I have something left to do here.
Edogawa	That left thing to do is
Manjyome	Edogawa! I will return the title and the seat of the king to you.
Edogawa	You said that you would return...Thunder!
Manjyome	Principle! As I said...this may become troublesome.
Principle Sameshima	Of course, Manjyome has originally been a student here.
Principle Ichinose	Well, in that case, my...(He is going to take back his deck from Manjyome)

Suddenly, Professor Chronos announces and opens the reward ceremony after the duel match. The reward is actually Miss Duel Academia or Tome-San. People are getting shocked when Tome-San getting dress like a young lady appears on the stage. Professor Chronos invites the winner Principle Sameshima on the stage to receive the reward, a kiss, from her. Judai hardly believes that he had to fight for this reward of his Principle. Meanwhile, Principle Ichinose is crying and screaming behind. He tells Manjyome to become stronger and win the game for him next year. Then, Principle Ichinose runs away and leaves Duel Academia by the submarine. He has just realized that he forgot to take his dragon cards from Manjyome and start crying again. Seeing the principle crying, other North School students also cry out loud and say good bye to "Manjyome Thunder!". Daitokuji teacher tells the remaining problem with Manjyome. Since he has left the school for 3 months, he can't be promoted to Obelisk Blue. His remaining choice is to stay in Osiris Red that has no condition with the number of attendance days. Manjyome certainly starts complaining. He hasn't expected to stay with Judai, Sho, and Hayato. Judai tells everybody to celebrate the new entrance of Manjyome to Osiris Red. All people call out "1, 10, 100, and Manjyome Thunder!". Anyway, Manjyome still can't imagine his life as a Judai's friend.

Judai	We had to duel for this...!?
Principle Ichinose	Waaaaa!!! Manjyome-Kun, become stronger! Next year, please become stronger! Haaaaaa!
Manjyome	Principle!
Principle Ichinose	How bad! I forgot to take those dragons back. Waaaa!
Principle Sameshima	This is good, isn't it!
Manjyome	Of course!
Principle Sameshima	But....
Daitokuji Teacher	To remain here, Manjyome Thunder can't be promoted to Obelisk Blue because of his 3-month absense.
Manjyome	Heeee!?
Daitokuji Teacher	Although we would like to promote...there is no other way but to enter Osiris Red that has nothing to deal with attendance days.
Manjyome	What! A guy like me in Osiris Red? Staying with these guys?
Sho	We should say...roommate, shouldn't we?
Manjyome	Shut up!
Judai	Nice to stay with you from now on, roommate!
Manjyome	I refuse! Why do I....with these guys!?
Judai	Well, let's celebrate the new dorm entrance for Manjyome!
Manjyome	Don't make a decision selfishly.
Friends	1, 10, 100!
Judai	1000!
Friends	Manjyome Thunder! Manjyome Thunder!
Manjyome	I can't believe this. I...friend with these guys...
