The night has passed, and the next morning is coming. Judai, Asuka, Sho, Hayato, and Daitokuji teacher have been waiting outside the colosseum because Misawa hasn't been released yet for the whole night. They are sitting near a fire and discussing about what happened to Misawa. Asuka feels very worried him. Manjyome says that Taniya would like to let him become her bridegroom, so she should not take his life. Daitokuji teacher is still scared of this scary lady. Then, Judai gets up and says that he would like to take a look again. Hayato and Sho also get up to follow him. At this moment, people hear some door sound of coming from the colosseum. People are amazed as looking at the entrance of the colosseum. They see Misawa walking out slowly. Judai runs into him at once while Misawa is falling on his knees. People look at him and see that Misawa looks very blank.

Judai asks whether Misawa is fine. Misawa responds that he is still okey. Manjyome asks him directly what exactly happened to him. Daitokuji teacher is wondering what Taniya did to him. Misawa says that he is no longer useful to her. People seem not to understand what he means. Previously, Misawa was falling on the ground while his LP was decreasing to 0. He actually had matches against Taniya again. In the last duel, Taniya told him that everything had ended. She wasn't satisfied by his defeats, and Misawa couldn't fulfil her feelings. Misawa tells his friends he already used all of his decks. However, he couldn't oppose her. Misawa accepts that Taniya is really strong, noble, and highly proud of herself. Compared to her, he can't reach even her feet. Judai looks very amazed by that Misawa seems to lose his confidence totally.

At Osiris Red dorm, Misawa is sitting alone with his breakfast, Omlette + Rice [Omu-Rice], in the dinning room. Anyway, his mind looks very blank while he is looking to somewhere else. Judai, Hayato, Asuka, Sho, and Manjyome are watching him from outside. Hayato first says that Misawa looks very weird. Sho starts pointing out many of his strange behaviors; namely, Misawa is drinking sauce from a bottle. Manjyome says that this is Osiris Red meal, so he doesn't understand why Misawa is here. Judai decides to call out Misawa's name to wake him up. Suddenly, he is getting shocked while seeing that Misawa is currently drinking Tabasco. Manjyome thinks that it is useless to talk to Misawa now. His mind has already gone somewhere. Asuka hardly believes that a clam and strong guy like Misawa has ended up like this. Even Judai is very amazed and has no idea what to do with him.

At Duel Academy, Misawa is looking out and thinking of Taniya. Her strong expression actually shakes his heart. He reminds himself of many of her lovely words that she would like to open his reversed card of heart. Misawa becomes more confused as losing his concentration. He holds up his head and says her name out. Meanwhile, Asuka and Judai are looking at him behind. They've realized that Misawa is getting very worried by Taniya.

People are together at Duel arena in Duel Academia while Misawa is walking in. He asks why people call him up here urgently. Judai tries to invite him for a duel, but Misawa refuses. He can't duel right now. Judai doesn't understand and asks directly whether Misawa becomes afraid. Misawa considers his words and replies that he isn't afraid. Judai asks him again what really happens to him because he looks very different. Misawa tells his friends that he doesn't understand himself, either. Manjyome asks whether it is about woman issue. Misawa strongly refuses and argues that he is talking about the duel not the woman. Judai is wondering and asking him for explanations. Misawa explains how he feels impressed by her character. Although she is a shadow duelist, she fights bravely with high esteem. If possible, Misawa would like to see and duel with her again. This time, he would like to mix his decks up. At his current strength level, he realizes that he can't satisfy her by a good duel. Thus, he feels ashamed and miserable. Manjyome is wondering whether Taniya is actually that great. Judai feels very jealous and glad with Misawa that he had a chance to duel against the kind of duelist. He becomes excited and says that he would like to duel with her as well.

At the colosseum, Taniya becomes crazy and wonders where strong guys are. She starts hitting the wall and kicking the ceiling to release her stress that he can't find any strong man. Then, she decides to get out and find again by herself. At this moment, her pet tiger seems to be very scared of her act, walking after her slowly.

Judai is preparing his deck at Osiris Red dorm at night. He feels very excited and becomes energetic after hearing the story about Taniya and Misawa. Then, Misawa knocks the door and calls him out. Judai opens the door and asks him what is happening. Misawa tells him that he feels the coming of Taniya. People are all together in front of the colosseum again. Asuka asks whether it is true that Taniya is reappearing. Misawa thinks that she is while looking around to see her. Also, he hears the sound of her pet tiger, so he is certain that she is coming out. Taniya then jumps off the bush with her pet tiger. She is glad to see that people can hear her thirst of duel. Judai steps out and tells her that he is going to be her next opponent. Anyway, she looks at him and thinks that he seems to be a bit stupid. Judai thinks that she oversaid it because he doesn't look that bad. Having attracted by his hot and quick temper, Taniya agrees to let him become her opponent. Judai introduces his full name as Yuki Judai. Anyway, he doesn't mind if Taniya is going to call him Yukicchi (Yuki~Chi like Misawacchi). His friends, especially Manjyome, think that Judai is actually a stupid.

Inside the colosseum, Taniya shows her two decks to Judai. She thinks that she no longer has to explain these choices: to leave effort or to lose and disgrace himself. Manjyome thinks which choice means that she is gonna win anyway. Judai feels sorry to her because he will certainly win this game while picking the first one. Standing by their duel disks, they begin the duel.

Amazoness Charm Magic Card

First turn is with Judai. He draws a card and summons E-Hero Featherman in a defense position [E-Hero Featherman - 3/1000/1000]. Then he ends his turn quickly. Next is Taniya's turn. Drawing a card, she summons Amazoness Paladin in an attack positioin [Amazoness Paladin ~ Amazoness Seisenshi - 4/1700/300: Increase this card's attack strength by 100 for each Monster card on your Field with Amazoness in its name]. Due to its special effect, its attack points can increase by 100 points for each Amazoness monster on the field. It is the only one Amazoness monster on the field, so its attack points become 1800 (1700+100). Taniya then plays a magic card, Amazoness Charm, from her hand [Amazoness Charm - Magic: Switch 1 of your opponent's Monsters in defense mode to attack mode and increase its attack strength by 200]. This magic card allows her to change the position of E-Hero Featherman into an attack position and increase its attack points by 200 points. Thus, E-Hero Featherman gets up into the attack mode while its attack points become 1200 (1000+200). Professor Chronos doesn't understand why Taniya is trying to increase the attack points of the opponent's monster. Misawa says that she is that kind of friendly person. Taniya tells Judai that she doesn't want to make this game become deplorable when she has to duel against a weak opponent. Judai feels thankful for her feeling and her kindness to him.

Amazoness Death Ring Magic Card

Later, Taniya plays another field magic card, Amazoness Death Ring. When this card is activated, the LP of both sides increase by 600 points. At this moment, there is large iron ring covering the entire duel arena as Judai's and Taniya's LP go up to 4600 (4000+600). Although the players can gain higher LP, Manjyome doesn't understand what this weird iron cage is. Judai still looks confused. Taniya explains that this Amazoness Death Ring is a holy place to show the binding of players' souls with their monsters. Judai still looks confused by how he can attach his soul, but Taniya says that he will understand soon. She then declares the attack of Amazoness Paladin against E-Hero Featherman. When E-Hero Featherman is destroyed, Judai's LP decreases to 4000 (4600+1200-1800). At this moment, Taniya activates the actual effect of Amazoness Death Ring. When a monster is destroyed in battle, each side can pay 100 LP to deal the 100 direct damages to his or her opponent [Amazoness Death Ring ~ Amazoness No Shitoujou - Field Magic: When this card is played, increase you and your opponent's Life Points by 600. When a Monster is destroyed as a result of battle or a player takes Battle Damage, each player can pay 100 Life Points in order to do 100 damage to the opponent]. Judai understands that they are gonna combat and hit against each other. Taniya says that it is, however, his feel choice whether he would like to play it or not. Judai certainly accepts this challenge. His and Taniya's spirit forms appear on the fields, representing themself and their LP.

According to the effect of Amazoness Death Ring, Judai's LP decreases to 3900 (4000-100) while Taniya's LP decreases to 4500 (4600-100). Both of them first have to pay their own LP to satisfy the effect. Their spirit forms jump into the sky and start fighting against each other. Taniya can first hits Judai, so his LP decreases to 3800 (3900-100). Seeing Judai showing his pain from the strike, Hayato realizes that this is entirely the real fight not merely a game. The spirit of Judai then can punch Taniya back, so her LP decreases to 4400 (4500-100). At this moment, both sides have already done direct 100 damages to their opponents. Getting the direct hit from Judai, Taniya feels very excited by his good fist. Manjyome doesn't understand what is wrong with this woman or why she still feels happy when she gets hit. Anyway, Misawa seems to be very impressed by her characteristic like this.

Turn is back with Judai. He draws a card and gets Polymerization. He uses it to fuse E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Clayman on his hand into E-Hero Thunder Giant [E-Hero Thunder Giant - 6/2400/1500: When this Monster is Summoned, destroy 1 Monster on your opponents Field face-up with attack strength base lower than attack strength of this Monster]. His friends look very pleased by his current play. Asuka notes that E-Hero Thunder Giant has a special ability to destroy a monster on the opponent field. In other words, Amazoness Paladin can be destroyed by this special effect. Judai feels sorry to Taniya's monster before it is going to be destroyed. Taniya doesn't seem surprised by that Judai could make it. Judai continues the normal attack of Thunder Giant against Taniya directly.

Taniya gets such a strong hit directly from E-Hero Thunder Giant until he falls down on the ground. Her LP decreases to 2000 (4400-2400). Judai becomes worried about her and asks whether she is still okey. Taniya gets up and seems to have fun. Daitokuji teacher thinks that she is too scary, so Judai may be killed. Misawa says that Taniya is, in fact, happy and enjoying the duel.

Amazoness Spiritualism Magic Card

Turn is now with Taniya. Drawing a card, shes get a trap card, Amazoness Archers. Setting it on the field, she summons Amazoness Swords Woman in an attack position [Amazoness Swords Woman - 4/1500/1600: Battle Damage done to this card's controller due to this card being in Battle is done to the opponent]. After that, she plays a magic card, Amazoness Spiritualism, from her hand. It returns E-Hero Thunder Giant into its original forms of E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Clayman [Amazoness Spiritualism ~ Amazoness No Kuchiyose - Magic: This card can only be activated if you have a Amazoness on the Field. Return all Fusion Monsters on the Field back to the Fusion deck and return the original components back to the Field]. She then declares the battle by letting Amazoness Swords Woman attack E-Hero Clayman. When E-Hero Clayman is destroyed, Judai's LP reduces to 3100 (3800+800-1500).

Repeatedly, once a monster is destroyed, Taniya can activate the ability of Amazoness Death Ring; both sides can pay 100 LP to deal direct 100 damages to their opponents. Judai's friends are getting worried about him and trying to cheer him up to this combat. Judai's spirit reappears while his LP decreases to 3000 (3100-100). Similarly, Taniya's spirit comes out as her LP reduces to 1900 (2000-100). Both of them begin their intensive fighting and can make their strikes. As a result of these direct damages, Judai's and Taniya's LP further decrease to 2900 (3000-100) and 1800 (1900-100) respectively. Judai is getting excited and really enjoying the game. He has just experienced this kind of fun for the first time. Taniya also shares the same feeling. Meanwhile, her pet tiger seems to be irritated by their current relationship.

Next is Judai's turn. He draws a card and gets E-Hero Burst Lady. He summons it onto the field in an attack position and declares the strike of E-Hero Sparkman against Amazoness Swords Woman [E-Hero Burst Lady - 3/1200/800]. At this moment, Taniya opens her face-down trap card, Amazoness Archers, which can be activated only if she has a Amazoness monster on the field. As a result of its effect, the attack points of all Judai's monsters decrease by 600 points [Amazoness Archers ~ Amazoness No Dokyuudai - Trap: When your opponent attacks, you can activate this card if you have a Monster on the Field with Amazoness in its name. All of Monsters on your opponent's Field change to face-up attack mode (Reverse Effects are not activated) and have their attack strengths reduced by 600. Your opponent must attack with all of his or her Monsters]. Therefore, E-Hero Sparkman's attack points decrease to 1000 (1600-600) as E-Hero Burst Lady's go down to 600 (1200-600).

E-Hero Sparkman continues its attacking. It is finally destroyed by Amazoness Swords Woman, so Judai's LP reduces to 2400 (2900+1000-1500). Again, Judai declares the direct battle according to the effect of Amazoness Death Ring. His spirit appears as his LP decreases to 2300 (2400-100). Asuka is wondering by that Judai is going to push himself in this direct combat. On the other side, Taniya's spirit appears while her LP reduces to 1700 (1800-100). Both of them strongly attack each other again. Thus, Judai's LP finally goes down to 2200 (2300-100) while Taniya's decreases to 1600 (1700-100). Taniya claims that she feels very good by this duel. Daitokuji teacher doesn't understand what she means or why she still feels happy with it. Even Asuka can notice that Taniya looks very happy all the time she is battling. Perpahs, only Misawa realizes why she has fun with her devoted spirit.

Taniya reminds Judai of the remaining effect of Amazoness Archers. That means Judai has to let all of his monsters attack. The remaining monster is E-Hero Burst Lady. Judai has no problem with it at all. He declares its attack, Burst Fire, against Amazoness Swords Woman. Certainly, E-Hero Burst Lady is destroyed, so Judai's LP decreases to 1300 (2200+600-1500). Again, when a monster is destroyed, Judai declares the combat as a result of Amazoness Death Ring's effect. Sho is getting amazed by that Judai is still keeping on the fight like this. Both spirits strongly attack each other until Judai's LP reduces to 1100 (1300-100-100) and Amazoness' LP decreases to 1400 (1600-100-100). After that, Judai sets up two face-down card and plays a magic card, The Warrior Returning Alive, from his hand [The Warrior Returning Alive ~ Senshi No Seikan - Magic: Place 1 Warrior Monster from your Cemetery into your hand]. This card allows him to select a warrior monster from his graveyard and places it into his hand. Thus, Judai chooses E-Hero Clayman from his cemetery. Then, he ends his turn.

In Taniya's turn, she draws a card and summons Amazoness Pet Tiger in an attack position [Amazoness Tiger ~ Amazoness Pet Tiger - 4/1100/1500: You can only have one of these cards face-up on the Field. Increase this card's attack strength by 400 for each Monster card on your Field with Amazoness in its name. While your opponent does not destroy this card, your other Monsters with Amazoness in their names can't be attacked]. Its attack points can increase by 400 for each Amazoness monster on the field. There are two Amazoness monsters, Amazoness Pet Tiger and Amazoness Swords Woman, so its total attack points become 1900 (1000+400*2).

Taniya declares the attack of Amazoness Swords Woman against Judai directly. Meanwhile, Judai opens a face-down trap card, A Hero Emerges. This card allows Taniya to select a card on his hand. If the chosen card is a monster card, Judai can summon it specially onto the field [A Hero Emerges ~ Hero Kensan - Trap: When your opponent declares an attack, your opponent choose 1 card at random from your hand. If that card is a Monster card, Special Summon it to your Field. Otherwise, place it in your Cemetery]. Because Judai has only one card left on his hand, it is chosen automatically. It is E-Hero Clayman that Judai took back from the cemetery previously as a result of The Warrior Returning Alive. He summons it specially onto the field in a defense mode to block the attack of Amazoness Swords Woman.

Taniya reminds Judai of the special effect of Amazoness Swords Woman; any battle damage deals to Judai directly. Thus, Judai's LP decreases to 600 (1100-2000+1500). At his rate, Judai still declares the combat of Amazoness Death Ring. His friends are wondering for how long he is gonna push himself into it. The spirits of Judai and Taniya appear on the field again while their LP decrease to 500 (600-100) and 1300 (1400-100) respectively. After their intensive fighting, Judai's LP reduces to 400 (500-100) as Taniya' becomes 1200 (1300-100). Hayato thinks that both of them look painful. Sho doesn't understand what Judai is thinking of this type of the combat. Kaiser notes that Judai has very little LP left. Perhaps, only last 100 LP will make the conclusion of this game. Misawa thinks that both of them have't been concerned about that issue. Whatever they are thinking now is just to have full fun in this fight.

Amazoness Tamer Magic Card

It is now Taniya's turn. She reopens the duel by the attack of Amazoness Pet Tiger against E-Hero Clayman. With fewer attack points, Amazoness Pet Tiger is pushed back, and her LP decreases to 1100 (1200+1900-2000). People think that Taniya intended to let her monster attack the defending monster with higher defense points than its attack points. Undoubtedly, she would like to reopen the fight of Amazoness Death Ring when she gets some damage points. Again, The spirits of Judai and Taniya are striking each other until Judai's LP goes down to 200 (400-100-100) and Taniya' reduces to 900 (1100-100-100). After that, Taniya plays a magic card, Amazoness Tamer, from her hand. Kaiser explains that this card affects Amazoness Pet Tiger when it couldn't destroy a monster in battle. It increases its attack points by 400 and allows it to attack again [Amazoness Tamer ~ Amazoness No Shoukyoushi - Instant Magic: When a Amazoness Pet Tiger does not destroy a Monster as a result of battle, increase its attack strength by 400 and it may battle again]. Thereofre, the attack points of Amazoness Pet Tiger become 2300 (1900+400). If Taniya lets it destroy E-Hero Clayman and declares the combat as a result of Amazoness Death Ring again, Judai's LP will become 0 (He has to pay at least 200 LP in this Amazoness Death Ring's fight, so his LP reduces to 0, 200-200=0). People are wondering what Judai is gonna do.

Clay Charge Trap Card

Judai seems not to be afraid at all. He challenges Taniya's fight bravely. Once Taniya declares the attack of Amazoness Pet Tiger against E-Hero Clayman, Judai opens his last face-down trap card, Clay Charge, which can be activated only if E-Hero Clayman becomes an attack target. According to its effect, both Amazoness Pet Tiger and E-Hero Clayman are all destroyed while Taniya has to get 800 direct damages [Clay Charge - Trap: Activate when your opponent attacks a E-HERO Clayman. Destroy the attacking Monster and E-HERO Clayman. Do 800 damage to your opponent]. As a result, Taniya's LP decreases to 100 (900-800).

At this moment, Taniya tells Judai that she has first experienced such a fun duel in this game. Judai tells her that he also feels the same thing. On the other side, Sho is wondering why the effect of Amazoness Death Ring can't be activated this time. Kaiser explains that as long as a monsters isn't destroyed or a player doesn't get damages as a result of battle, this effect can't be activated. In this case, because the monsters were destroyed by the effect of the trap card, Clay Charge, the effect of Amazoness Death Ring is invalid. Additionally, Manjyome notes that Taniya has only 100 LP left, so she can no longer activate the effect of Amazoness Death Ring. Activating its effect, she will lose 200 LP, 100 points for tributes and 100 points from damages, until she is defeated. Asuka points out that Taniya still has an annoying monster, Amazoness Swords Woman, on the field. Although Judai can destroy it, he is going to get the damages by its special effect. That mean even though he can obtain a greater or lower monster, he can't win anyway. Sho is wondering what Judai is gonna do in this situation. Taniya tells Judai before his last turn that she won't forgive him if he gives up before the end of the game.

In the final turn of Judai, drawing a card, he summons E-Hero Wildman in an attack position [E-Hero Wildman - 4/1500/1600: This Monster cannot be effected by Trap cards]. People think that Judai may win because E-Hero Wildman is supposed to work well due to its special effect. Also, Hayato thinks that Judai still has great drawing skill. Judai then declares the attack of E-Hero Wildman against Amazoness Swords Woman. They have to same attack points, so both of them are all destroyed and no damage point deals to any side. Lastly, Judai activates the effect of Amazoness Death Ring. Asuka doesn't why Judai has to push himself into this battle again since he is supposed to get the certain victory. Misawa reminds Asuka of Taniya's words. She said previously that she wouldn't forgive Judai if he gave up. In other words, they have to battle by their whole fighting spirits until the end. The spirits of Judai and Taniya do the final strong punch on their faces.

Taniya's LP decrease to 0 while Judai's LP reduces to 100 (200-100). In fact, Judai's LP is supposed to become 0 by the second 100 point damages as well; however, Taniya's LP becomes 0 first, so Judai survives. Daitokuji teacher thinks that this is such an supreme duel. Professor Chronos notes that it is also a violent duel merely with many fists. Misawa also points out Judai decided to fight with Taniya seriously by Amazoness combat until the end. On the other side, Judai tells Taniya that he feels very good in the duel even though he feels hurt. Taniya says that she has finally found the strong man whom she has serched for her whole family. She accepts Judai the greatest duelist. When the duel is ended, Amazoness Death Ring disappears. Taniya's body starts changing into a white tiger form while people are all surprised. She leaves her last message that this was such a good duel before leaving the duel area. Her Pet Tiger is coming after her. The shadow item, a gauntlet, is also dropped on the ground. Seeing her real appearance, Misawa is getting shocked by that he was defeated by the tiger [Tora]. Manjyome corrects Misawa that she isn't the tiger but a good woman. Judai is feeling very good by this duel, yelling with the delight of his victory and such an extreme duel with Taniya.
