episode 55 summarized by Janime

 

In the forest are Judai and Sho carrying many duel disks. Judai starts complaining and doesn't stand why he has to do this kind of work. He notices Sho look unlively as usual, asking whether there is something wrong. Sho begins the story and talks about the bridge built upon small river in the forest. Judai responds that he knows it. Sho says that there is recently a mysterious guy appearing and dueling against people at the bridge. Meanwhile, Judai reminds himself of Kohara and Ohara [ Goblin Duel in episode 16 ], who previously challenged people around in the forest. He thinks his imagination may be merely deja vu. Sho further says that if anyone is defeated, his duel disk will be taken. Judai thinks that the current situation seems similar to Kohara and Ohara case. Sho argues that the past bet was rare cards, but this time bet is duel disks. 99 duel disks have been taken by now. Judai feels that the guy looks like [Benkei], a legendary Japanese warrior who collects 999 swords from 999 swordholders passing him at the bridge. Sho starts looking at his carried duel disks and getting worried while Judai becomes excited. He urges Sho to hurry up and catch up Benkei at the bridge. Sho has no choice but follows Judai quickly.

Benkei VS Yoshitsune
Kenzan VS Judai

Note: According to the true Japanese story, Benkei collects 999 swords from swordmen passing his weapon at Goyo Bridge. However, he is defeated in the 1000th duel against Minamoto Yoshitsune, who has the sword training from a mythological Japanese creature Tengu. >>read more

In anime, the story is slightly adjusted. Kenzan represents Benkei who collects the duel disks up to 99. Duel disk is like a sword of a duelist. On the other side, Judai represents Minamoto Yoshitsune who beats Benkei at the 100th duel. In addition, this duel has been determined in advance that Judai can defeat Kenzan according to Benkei legend. However, Benkei has nothing to deal with this dinosaur type except for that he has the same big body.

 

Sho and Judai have finally arrived the bridge at the river, seeing a big Ra Yellow guy standing there with many duel disks in the bags beside him. Sho becomes amazed, saying that [Musashibo Benkei], the full name of Benkei, has finally appeared. The Ra Yellow guy just challenges them to find the conclusion into the duel. Judai looks happy and accepts the challenge quickly. The Ra Yellow guy looks confused by Judai's active act and quick response, asking for the first step of the proper introduction. Judai seemingly doesn't care since he has already realized that the Ra Yellow guy is Benkei. The Ra Yellow guy argues and intruduces himself correctly as the first-year student [Tyranno Kenzan]. Anyway, Judai still changes his name to Benkei style [Ichinenbo Benkei or First-Year Bo Benkei]. Kenzan gets annoyed and tries to argue again. His gang then appears and agrees to take noisy Judai down. Sho becomes surprised what this gang is. The gang introduces themselves as [Tyranno Group ~ Tyranno Dan], the leading group with the image of Tyranno and great reputation. Sho seems annoyed by their arrogance. However, Judai doesn't care, rushing him to duel quickly. Kenzan says that he can't start yet until Judai introduces himself in return. Judai has just realized that he should respond the opponent by proper greeting as well, introducing himself by his fullname, Yugi Judai. Then, he repeats his words to begin the duel quickly. Kenzan gang seems surprised after hearing his name. Kenzan calls him as [Charisma of Duel Academy ~ Duel Academy No Charisma]. Sho doesn't have the long words to speak but claims that here is his great Big Brother. His spirit seems so strong and burns out until Kenzan gang can feel it. Even Judai doesn't know how to stop Sho now. The gang turns back to his leader and tries to convince him. They think that this is a good chance to defeat Judai and takes his title of school to the gang. Kenzan gets his spirit burning and challenges Judai to come in. Sho accepts his challenge bravely for his Big Brother. Anyway, Judai is amazed by Sho's active act since he ooked very scared previously.

People move onto the bridge to cheer their Big Brothers. Sho says that Judai must not hesitate or take it easy although Kenzan is a freshman. Kenzan gang counts on their Big Brother, saying that the opponent is merely a Red. Sho tells them to stop calling the same word, Big Brother. The gang seems not to listen and keeps on calling Kenzan by this word. Kenzan then draws Judai's attention back to the game while Judai calls Kenzan as "Ichinenbo Benkei" to start the duel. Kenzan gets mad by this name and tries to correct his name as "Tyranno Kenzan". Then, the duel between both of them begins.

First turn comes to Judai. He draws a card, summons E-Hero Wildman in a defense position, and ends his turn quickly [E-Hero Wildman - 4/1500/1600:This Monster cannot be effected by Trap cards]. Just the first turn, Sho cheers Judai out loud over the gang, "Big Brother! Awesome!". Kenzan gang can't stand looking like losers, so they start waving the dino-flag and hitting a drum to cheer Kenzan by the same word "Big Brother! Awesome!". Sho becomes so annoyed that he has to close his ears.

Dark Driceratops
Monster Card

It's now Kenzan's turn. Drawing a card, he special summons Gilasaurus in an attack position [Gilasaurus ~ Shunsoku No Gilasaurus - 3/1400/400: You can Normal Summon this card and treat it as a Special Summon. If you Special Summon this Monster by this effect, your opponent can Special Summon 1 Monster from their Cemetery]. Sho is wondering what it means by the special summon. Kenzan explains that the summon of this monster is treated as a regular summon. Judai realizes that Kenzan means another monster can be normal summon in this turn. Giving Gilasaurus as a tribute, Kenzan summons Dark Driceratops in an attack position [Dark Driceratops - 6/2400/1500: When this card attacks a Monster in defense mode with a lower defense strength than this Monster's attack strength, do Battle Damage to your opponent equal to the difference]. Judai looks very impressed by that the great monster with 2400 attack points can be summoned in the first turn. However, Sho is unpleased with Judai's impression towards the rival.

Kenzan declares the attack of Dark Driceratops against E-Hero Wildman. After it destroys E-Hero Wildman and flies pass, it returns to attack Judai directly from his back. Judai falls down while his LP decreases to 3200 (4000+1600-2400). Sho doesn't understand why Judai's LP went down despite the fact that E-Hero Wildman was destroyed in the defense position. Thus, no damage should have been done. Kenzan clarifies the special ability of Dark Driceratops that when it attacks a monster in a defense position with lower defense points than its attack points, battle damage equal to the differences can deal directly to the opponent's life points. Kenzan then ends his turn. Kenzan gang later keeps on cheering until Sho has to tell them to stop. He doesn't want to lose, telling Judai not to lose the game.

Next is Judai's turn. He draws a card and gets E-Hero Featherman. Looking another cards on his hand (Monster Reincarnation, E-Hero Necro Darkman, E-Hero Edgeman, Insurance, and De-Fusion), he decides to plays the magic card [Monster Reincarnation ~ Shisha Tensei - Magic: Discard 1 card from your hand. Place 1 Monster from your Cemetery into your hand]. He sends E-Hero Necro Darkman into his cemetery to play this card and to get back a monster from the graveyard. Kenzan expects that Judai aims to get back E-Hero Wildman. However, Judai claims that his real purpose is to activate the special ability of E-Hero Necro Darkman after it's sent into the graveyard [E-Hero Darkman - 5/1600/1800: While this card is in your graveyard, you mayspecial summon a monster with E-HERO in it's name without any scariface for tribute. This effect can only be done once while this card is in the graveyard]. He can special summon E-Hero Edgeman from his hand onto the field without any tribute [E-Hero Edgeman - 7/2600/1800: If this Monster attacks a Monster in defense mode with lower defense strength than this Monsters attack strength, do Battle Damage to your opponent equal to the difference]. Judai lets E-Hero Edgeman destroy Dark Driceratops, so Kenzan's LP reduces to 3800 (4000+2400-2600).

Sho calls out again "Big Brother! Awesome!", turning back to Kenzan gang and asking how cool his Big Brother is. Kenzan gang looks so amazed, so does Kenzan. He thinks that Judai is really glaring. The gang starts saying "Don't Mind! Don't Mind Kenzan!" to encourage him. Kenzan looks at his friends and tries to release his worry. He consoles himself not to care of it while reminding himself of his past before entering Duel Academy. Actually, he strongly expected that he should have entered Obelisk Blue while ending with Ra Yellow. He certainly feels unpleased. Anyway in Ra Yellow, there are many friends who are around him and admire him as Big Brother. In order to polish his charisma skill for his friends, he has to stand up on the bridge and challenge people. Then, Yuki Judai, who is the real Charisma of Duel Academy, appears. This seems to threaten Kenzan's title. Kenzan keeps on telling his story and seems to forget that he is talking out loud. Everybody hears everything he has said. Sho claims that he understands the worry of him. Kenzan gets embrarassesd after knowing that people are listening. Judai says that Kenzan is such a funny guy.

" That's right. Don't mind Kenzan. I am not the guy who wears the uniform with unclear color. I first stumbled here...I wasn't aware of anything. Although I pass the exam with good scores...the student who should enter the high section of the admission exam doesn't enter Obelisk Blue. I who have high confidence in duel...why...in Ra Yellow!? However, around me are people who adore me. I am always their Big Brother by nature. Even in Ra Yellow, this can't be hidden.

 

Jurassic World
Field Magic Card

The duel is back to Kenzan's turn. Drawing a card, he sees that he has finally got his expected card. Thus, he plays it a once, the field magic [Jurassic World - Field Magic: Increase the attack strength and defense strength of all Dinosaur and Bird Sub-Type Monsters by 300. When a Dinosaur or Bird Sub-Type Monster battles, they will not be affected by the effects of Trap cards. When your opponent attacks a Dinosaur or Bird Sub-Type Monster you control in attack mode, the attacked Monster is switched to defense mode]. The battlefield is then changed into Jurassic park theme. Kenzan explains various abilities of it (please look at my previous highlight) until Sho gets amazed by such a potential field magic card. After that, he summons Archaeopteryx onto the field in an attack mode [Archaeopteryx - 3/300/1300: This Monster can attack the opposing player's Life Points directly]. Its attack points go up to 600 (300+300) due to the effect of Jurassic World. Sho thinks that 600 attack points shouldn't be the problem anyway. Kenzan argues that he actually aims to the special ability of his monster that can attack an opponent directly. Thus, he declares the attack of Archaeopteryx against Judai directly.

 
summary - second period
episode 55 summarized by Janime

 

After Judai gets the direct attack from Archaeopteryx, his LP decreases to 2600 (3200-600). Kenzan sets up a face-down card and ends his turn. He asks how his offense and defese are. Then, he turns to see his gang and wonders why they become less active and quiet than before. A guy claims that whenever Kenzan activates Jurassic World, he always wins. Another friend tells him not to be worried while another starts yawning. Kenzan seems confused by his friends' attitute that doesn't look excited as before.

Amber Pit Trap
Kohaku No Otoshi Ana
Permanent Trap Card

Judai declares his turn while saying that Kenzan is really interesting. 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]. Seeing Judai's monster, Kenzan friend asks Sho whether Judai looks really like a strong guy. Sho convinces him since his Big Brother is always great and is going to show his strike. Kenzan's gang seems so interested that Kenzan feels unpleased with their turning act. Judai then declares the attack of E-Hero Edgeman against Archaeopteryx. At this moment, Kenzan opens his permanent trap [Amber Pit Trap ~ Kohaku No Otoshi Ana - Permanent Trap: Activate this card when your opponent attacks. Negate that Monster's attack and switch it to defense mode, the battling Monster cannot switch its modes]. This card can negate the attack of E-Hero Edgeman and then turns it into a defense position. Anyway, Judai still has E-Hero Wildman left. He lets it attack Archaeopteryx again. Kenzan, meanwhile, declares the effect of Jurassic World, that can change his bird-type monster, Archaeopteryx, into the defense position. Sho later claims that E-Hero Wildman's attack points are still over Archaeopteryx's defense points (1300). Kenzan repeats the effect of Jurassic World that it can also increase the defense points of his bird-type monster by 300 points. As a result, Archaeopteryx's defense points become 1600 (1300+300), which is high enough to counter E-Hero Wildman's effect. Because E-Hero Wildman's attack is countered, Judai's LP reduces to 2500 (2600+1500-1600). Setting two face-down cards, Judai ends his turn.

Ultra Evolution Pill - Revised Formula
Jyooshinka Yaku - Kai
Magic Card

Although Judai misses in this turn, he laughs and seemingly enjoys the duel as usual. Kenzan gang looks amazed by that Judai can still laugh in such a situation. Sho really understands Judai and thinks that this is what he usually is. People start enjoying with Sho. Kenzan seems to get mad when he sees his friends turning their side. His emotion becomes stronger before keeping on this turn. Drawing a card, he plays a magic card from his hand [Earthquake - Magic: Change the mode of all face-up Monsters on the Field to defense mode]. This card changes E-Hero Wildman into a defense position. Then, Kenzan plays another magic card [Ultra Evolution Pill Revised Formula ~ Choushinkayaku Kai - Magic: Sacrifice 1 Bird Sub-Type Monster on your Field in order to Special Summon 1 Dinosaur Sub-Type Monster from your hand]. This card allows him to sacrifice the bird-type monster on his field, Archaeopteryx, to summon Dark Tyranno specially onto the field [Dark Tyranno - 7/2600: If the only cards your opponent has in their Monster Card Zone are Monsters in defense mode, this card can attack your opponent directly]. Its attack points go up to 2900 (2600+300) following Jurassic World's effect.

Kenzan says that Dark Tyranno can attack Judai directly in case Judai doesn't have any monster in an attack position. This explains why Kenzan activates Earthquake to change all Judai's monsters into the defense position. People look worried by the game. Judai has only 2500 LP left. He will be lost if attacked by Dark Tyranno with 2900 attack points. Kenzan then declares the attack of Dark Tyranno and feels very convinced that he will win. However, he gets amazed when he sees Judai still survive with 100 LP left. Judai explains that he has opened his face-down trap card [Insurance - Trap: Return 1 Magic or Trap card set on the Field into your hand. If this card is returned from your Field to your hand, increase your Life Points by 500.]. This card allows him to send back a face-down trap or magic card onto his hand. Also, when Insurance is sent back to his hand, his LP can be increased by 1000 points. That explains that Judai's LP had become 2900 (2500+500) when attacked by Dark Tyranno. Thus, he survived by 100 LP (3000-2900) after the strike. However, Kenzan argues that if Insurance is actually returned to Judai's hand, he wonders why it is still displayed on the field. Judai says that the card sent back to his hand is also Insurance. That means he placed two Insurance in the previous turn. In this turn, he activates one Insurance to send another Insurance onto his hand to gain 1000 LP. Sho and Kenzan gang look very impressed by Judai's smart play. Kenzan has to accept that and ends the turn.

He feels upset and starts sitting down, realizing that the situation like this always happens. His friends are usually separate from him. Kenzan reminds himself of his previous memory when he and his gang had to face such a big rival gang. His friends became so scared that they retrieved. Thus, Kenzan had to resign as well. It doesn't matter if he becomes a leader. There is no meaning for him to winning like this, which everybody isn't by his side. Judai thinks that the victory hasn't been determined yet. Kenzan raises up and asks what else Judai can do with his little LP. Judai says that next is his turn. The draw may be able to change something, and that makes him feel very excited. Sho and Kenzan gang agree with Judai that they become excited as well. Kenzan looks amazed by Judai's word while getting up.

In final turn of Judai, he draws a card and get Pot of Greed. He plays it to draw additional two cards. Then, he plays the field magic [Skyscraper ~ Field Magic: Increase the attack strength of all Monsters on the Field with E-HERO in their name by 1000 points when Battling a Monster with higher attack strength]. Judai explains that the world is evolved while the battlefield starts changing from Jurassice world to icy era and finally to modern city. Kenzan realizes that something is happening, beginning to get excited.

E-Hero Wildwingman
Monster Card

Since Jurassic World is gone, Dark Tyranno's attack points decrease to its original base points, 2600 (2900-300). Kenzan now feels very excited rather than worried. Judai then plays Polymerization from his hand to fuse E-Hero Featherman on his hand with E-Hero Wildman on the field into [E-Hero Wildwingman - 8/1900: This Monster can only be Special Summoned by Fusion Summoning. Discard 1 card from your hand in order to destroy 1 Magic or Trap card on the Field. This effect can only be used once during your turn's Main Phase]. He plays its special effect at once. Discarding a card from his hand, Insurance which he has just got it back to his hand previously, he can destroy Amber Pit Trap of Kenzan. Without this trap, Kenzan can no longer negate the attack of Judai's monsters. Also, E-Hero Edgeman is released from the position seal, turning back to the attack position. Sho and Kenzan Gang, meanwhile, all cheer Judai by his great performance. According to the effect of Skycraper, when Dark Tyranno's attack points are 2600, E-Hero Wildwingman's attack points can go up to 2900 (1900+1000).

Judai first declares the attack of E-Hero Wildwingman against Dark Tyranno. When Dark Tyranno is destroyed, Kenzan's attack points become 3500 (3800+2600-2900). After that, E-Hero Edgeman attacks Kenzan directly, so his LP significantly decreases to 900 (3500-2600). Kenzan claims that he still has some LP left, so the game hasn't ended. He wonders what Judai can do. Judai smirks and once plays his last magic card [De-Fusion ~ Yuugou Kaijyo - Instant Magic: Return 1 Fusion Monster Card on the Field to its' owner's Fusion Deck. If all the Fusion-Material Monsters for the returned Fusion Monster Card are in the Graveyard, they can be Special Summoned to the Field at this time]. He defuses E-Hero Wildwingman into E-Hero Featherman and E-Hero Wildman. Judai lets E-Hero Featherman attack Kenzan directly again. Kenzan looks very impressed by the amazing play of Judai. He accepts Judai as a great duelist and a Big Brother, saying "Here is Judai Yuki Judai...no the duel of Big Brother Judai!". Getting the last hit, Kenzan's LP becomes 0 (900-1000).

Kenzan tries to walk into Judai while forgetting that there is the river between their sides. Therefore, he steps in and finally falls into the water. Judai asks how he is. Kenzan smiles and calls Judai as "Big Brother, Judai!". Judai smiles and says his favorite words "I won! What an exciting duel!".

At Osiris Red, while it is during the construction by Manjyome Group, Manjyome has come to stay in Judai's room, which is available after Hayato left. Sho doesn't understand why Kenzan has to carry his belongings and stay in their room. He says that Kenzan is the first grade student who should stay in Ra Yellow. Manjyome also complains. He feels that he has been confined in this small room, so there should be no place for Kenzan here. Sho thinks that Manjyome is also the same since he is sharing the room with them. Manjyome tells them not to be worried. Manjyome room is during the construction. By the way, Kenzan says that he has already made a decision to stay with Big Brother Judai to improve his charismatic skill. For this purpose, he has already turned down Tyranno Group. Sho is unsatisfied when Kanzan also calls Judai Big Brother. He tells Kenzan to stop saying that since Judai is supposed to be only his Big Brother. Manjyome smirks and says that Kenzan had better learn the charismatic skill from him. However, Kenzan seems not to listen, so Manjyome tells him to say something. Kenzan walks in to talk to Judai directly. He hopes Judai will take care him well from now on and is certain that he will improve himself. Judai smiles and understands that he can't help accepting Kenzan to stay by his side.

to be continued...

Judai

Sho! Try your best!

card information


[ Saito Musashibo Benkei ]

He is one of the legendary famous Japanese warriors. His well-known name is "Benkei". His legend is also widespread performed in Japanese Kabuki (Japanese Plays). Benkei has such big physical shape, strength, and loyalty. Many people give him the attributes of a demon, a monster child with wild hair and long teeth. In his youth Benkei may have been called Oniwaka - the "devil's child".

Benkei is said to have posted himself at Gojo Bridge in Kyoto, where he deprived every swordholder who passed of his weapon, eventually collecting 999 swords. On his 1000th duel, Benkei was defeated by Minamoto Yoshitsune, a son of the warlord Minamoto no Yoshitomo. Henceforth, he became a retainer of Yoshitsune and fought with him in the Genpei War against the Taira clan. Yoshitsune is credited with most of the Minamoto clan's successes against the Taira, especially the final naval battle of Dannoura. After their ultimate triumph, however, Yoshitsune's elder brother Minamoto Yoritomo, turned against him.

Undoubtedly, it is Benkei's loyalty and honour which makes him most attractive in Japanese folklore. One Kabuki play places Benkei in a moral dilemma between lying and protecting his lord in order to cross a bridge. The critical moment of the drama is its climax, where the monk realises his situation and vows to do what he must.
