episode 57 summarized by Janime

 

During an evening at Duel Academy area, Pharaoh is yarning, releasing a light ball, which is supposed to be the spirit of Daitokuji, from its mouth. It tries to catch it and finally eat it back. In the middle of the area is the stage with Judai and Misawa on duel. Misawa has Water Dragon on his field while Judai has E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Flame Wingman on his field. It's now Judai's turn. He plays Polymerization to fuse both of them into [E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman - 85/2500/2100: Increase this Monster's attack strength by 300 for each Monster with HERO in their name in your Cemetery. If this Monster destroys a Monster as a result of battle, do damage to your opponent equal to the attack strength of that Monster]. He declares its attack, Shining Shoot, against Water Dragon immediately, and this is the end of the game. Judai points to Misawa and claims his victory as usual. Misawa feels that Judai's skill has been improved since his duel against Kaiser. Judai smiles and wonders whether Misawa thinks so. In that case, Misawa suggests Judai improve his deck as well. However, Judai thinks that a new battle stage is coming with new students, so this deck is still neccessary for it. Then, he takes out a magazine with Kaiser picture promoted in Pro League, saying that Kaiser is also trying his best as well. Meanwhile, Sho is rushing in with trouble and calling for Judai. Misawa asks whether there is something wrong. Sho asks why Misawa is here. Misawa gets annoyed by that Sho hasn't noticed his existance at all. Sho then turns back to the point and says that the next opponent of his dear brother has already been determined. Judai looks very excited by Kaiser's rival as well. However, Sho's face looks very worried while going to express the opponent's name.

People gather up at the new living room of Osiris Red dorm at night, looking on screen that promotes the duel between Kaiser Ryo and Edo Phoenix. Manjyome says that the result may have already been decided if the rival is this guy. He thinks that the pro who couldn't beat Judai can't beat Kaiser, either. Sho agrees and turns to see Judai's response. Nevertheless, Judai reminds himself of his previous duel against Edo Phoenix. At that time, Edo just used the rough deck created quickly by 8 packs bought at the school store. Sho reasks Judai for his opinion on his brother's victory. Judai then gets back and replies that he also agrees with people. Anyway, Misawa points out that Edo Phoenix is going to play his real deck in this duel. Judai looks worried a bit and becomes curious what kind of his deck will be.

At the the principle room, Vice Principal Napoleon, who still wants to get rid of Osiris Red, is asking someone in his call that he would like Edo Phoenix to come to do this job. Professor Chronos thinks that there is no need to be hurried although he honestly feels ashamed by asking the others to do this. It seems that Edo Phoenix looks too busy to come. His coming schedule may be 3 years from now on. Professor Chronos thinks that 3 years may be good enough. Vice Principal Napoleon argues that if they wait for three years, people may have already graduated. Professor Chronos looks nervous by this unsolvable problem.

In a city at night, Kaiser is leaving a restaurant with a man in a suit, who seems to be his sponsor in the league. He is looking forward to seeing Kaiser's active and great play in the game while shaking his hand with him. Kaiser hopes to do his best to respond to that expection as well. The sponsor offers Kaiser a ride, but Kaiser refuses. He sees that the moon is beautiful, so he would like to walk back alone. The sponsor gets on his car, showing Kaiser a magazine with a monster shadow picture that is the currently popolar news. He doesn't know whether this involves Kaiser. Kaiser seems not to know anything, returning it back. Then, The sponsor and his car leave the place.

Kaiser is walking back along the streets surrounding with the promotion posters of his duel against Edo Phoenix. He is thinking what kind of deck his opponent is gonna play. Suddenly, he hears the scream of a guy coming from a small street. Kaiser hurries to see what's going on. There is a man attacked by a mysterious guy standing beside him. The mysterious guy throws many cards on the man and says that his destiny has already been determined. It is certainly Edo't voice. Then, Kaiser is running in while the mysterious guy is leaving. He holds the man up and asks how he is. The man says that the mysterious guy is really a monster or crazy guy before losing his consciousness. Kaiser turns his face up and notices the shadow of the same monster that he saw previously in the magazine. There's no doubt that it's the monster attacking people around in the current news. After that, many polices have arrived, asking whether Kaiser is safe. A police looks at the man on the ground and sees that this man is actually a card burglar. Kaiser seemingly looks very amazed by the current situation.

At a bright hall, Saiou and Edo are having a conversation. Saiou asks when Edo will stop playing around like that. Apparently, he is the one in the news with the shadow monster, which is supposed to be Phoenix Guy, that beats many card criminals around the city. For Edo, he doesn't do this for fun. Saiou reminds him that the guy whom Edo is looking for isn't among those scoundrels he has beaten up anyway. He says while picking a tarot card to determine Edo's destiny. Edo thinks it's unneccessary since that card must be [The Chariot] with the side-up position, which means the great success. Saiou is wondering whether Edo can has the ability to predict the future as he has. Edo replies that he doesn't have, but that success card always comes out every time when he is gonna duel. Last time, he was defeated by Judai on purpose due to the order Saiou. That explains why The Chariot previously appeared in the inverse position, which means the defeat or failure. Saiou mentions that Judai is essential for Edo to make him grow up. However, Edo still looks down Judai. He thinks Saiou is wasting his time by sending him to Duel Academy. His main goal is the battle in Pro League and to become the top of this world to find someone. Saiou insists that his prediction has never been wrong. That means he feels that Judai has something valuable to Edo. Edo seems annoyed. He declares that he will draw the conclusion of Saiou's issue after his duel against Kaiser. In other words, he will show whether Judai is really worth that much.

Saiou

Anyway, when will you stop playing around like that?

Edo

For me, it isn't for fun.

Saiou

The person whom you are looking for isn't among those loitering scoundrels. Ma~ in order to hold your overflowing anger, that may be considered the neccessary ceremony. I see it...your future! The duel between you and Kaiser Ryo is...

Edo

It will end with my victory. The (tarot) card that appears is [The Chariot] that means the complete victory.

Saiou Ho~ You also have the ability to see the future like me, don't you?
Edo No, Saiou! When you predict the future for me, any card rather than that card has never come out. The duel against Yuki Judai should have been my true victory. However, you ordered me to be defeated.
Saiou The relation with Yuki Judai will bring the new growth to you.
Edo That average level of duelist? Certainly, your prediction always shows me the shortest road to become the strongest duelist. However, it wastes my time to go to that school. My goal is to battle in Pro League and to stand on the top of the world...also definitely to find that person.
Saiou Edo! My prediction has never been wrong.
Edo That's fine. After opposing against Kaiser, I will make the conclusion on your problem.

The Pro League night has finally come. Many audiences gather up in the duel area, which seems to be Kaiba Dome in Kaiba Land in USA (KC Grand Prix series). TV is broadcasting this league while everybody at Duel Academy are also gathering in a room and watching the duel together on the big screen. At Kaiba Dome, people are entering the arena and enjoying shopping the promo stuffs of this duel. The audiences inside the area are cheering around. The some smoke and light come out with the first appearance of Kaiser. Many girls feel very attracted by him, cheering him out loud. Seeing through TV, Manjyome feels so jealous. He thinks that Kaiser is always popular everywhere. Meanwhile, Edo appears on the other side by the same pattern. He seems to have hugh girl fan club as well. Kenzan thinks Edo is also famous among ladies. Manjyome even looks mad.

The reporter starts introducing both players. He introduces Kaiser as a new hero player who hasn't been defeated for ten games (The reporter speaks the same words used in calling a Japanese hero baseball pitcher. It's difficult to win 10 games in a row for the baseball pitcher. Thus, this means Kaiser is such a great player with high expectation). On the other side, Edo Phoenix is introduced as a young nobleman of Pro League with 30-game undefeatable records. It's very interesting to see what kind of duels they are gonna show. Kaiser starts greeting Edo Phoenix. He knows that Edo has already been approved by Duel Academy, so he asks for how long Edo intends to fight like this. Anyway, Edo seem neither listening nor answering the question. He just says, "Please not be hard on me, Sempai" (Sempai ~ Senior). His act seems to provoke Kaiser and make him get mad. Kaiser no longer talks, declaring the duel immediately.

First turn comes to Edo. Once he draws a card, Judai becomes very curious what kind of deck he is gonna play. Then, Edo declares the monster that he is going to summon, showing the E-Hero Featherman. All people are certainly getting shocked. Kaiser is even amazed, asking whether Edo's deck is really what he is thinking. Edo expresses that his deck is the same E-Hero deck as Yuki Judai's. Judai seems to be surprised a lot as well. Edo summons [E-Hero Featherman - 3/1000/1000] in an attack position, setting two face-down cards on the field and ending his turn. Kaiser smiles and keeps on thinking. Sho tells people that his brother seemingly looks glad. Misawa says that Kaiser, of course, should be because he has once dueled against Judai's Hero deck before. On the top of that, Asuka adds that Kaiser should gain advantage in this game.

Trap Jammer
Trap Card

Turn comes to Kaiser. He draws a card and special summons [Cyber Dragon - 5/2100/1600: If you have no other Monsters on the Field and your opponent does,, you can Normal Summon this Monster from your hand without sacrifices] in an attack mode. Due to its special effect, Kaiser explains that when he has no monster on the field, he he can special summon it without tributes. He once declares the attack of Cyber Dragon, Evolution Burst, against E-Hero Featherman. At this moment, Edo opens one of his face-down trap cards, [Draining Shield - Trap: Activate when your opponent attacks. Negate the attack and gain Life Points equal to the attacking Monsters attack strength]. Edo explains that this card will negate the attack of the opponent's monster and increase his LP equal to the strength points of that monster. Kaiser doesn't give up easily, playing Trap Booster from his hand [Trap Booster - Magic: Send 1 card from your hand to the Cemetery. Activate 1 Trap card from your hand]. Discarding a card, Photon Generator Unit, into his graveyard, he can activate Trap Jammer from his hand [Trap Jammer - Counter Trap: You can only activate this card when your opponent activates a trap card during the battle phase. Negate the activation of the trap card and destroy it]. This card can negate and destroy the activation of Edo's Draining Shield.

Edo tells him that he would like to return it to Kaiser as well. Then, he opens the second face-down trap card, which is also Trap Jammer. Edo plays it to destroy Tram Jammer of Kaiser. Thus, the effect of Draining Shield is valid. Cyber Dragon's attack becomes invalid while Edo's LP increases to 6100 (4000+2100).

People are very excited by this game. Both of them are very doing well and aren't taking it easy from the beginning. However, Judai feels worried, thinking that the real battle will start from now on.

episode 57 summarized by Janime


E-Hero Phoenix Guy
Monster Card

At Kaiba Dome, the Pro League battle between Kaiser and Edo becomes heater up. Ladies fans are meanwhile very attracted by their idols. It's now Edo's turn. Drawing a card, he plays Pot of Greed to draw additional two cards. After that, he plays Polymerization to fuse E-Hero Featherman on the field with E-Hero Burst Lady on his hand into [E-Hero Phoenix Guy - 6/2100/1200: This Monster cannot be destroyed as a result of battle]. Sho looks very amazed by this new monster, claiming that E-Hero Flame Wingman would be supposed to appear by this fusion. Manjyome says that it isn't always necessary. Sho still looks confused and needs more clarification. Misawa explains that E-Hero has some speciality to have a different monster from the same fused monsters. Asuka furthers explains that in case of the fusion of E-Hero Burst Lady and E-Hero Featherman, the player can choose to summon either E-Hero Phoenix Guy or E-Hero Flame Wingman with different special abilities. However, their attack and defense points are the same. Judai calls out suddently "Is that so?" as if he has never known this before. His friends mostly fall down and are tired of his innocent. Manjyome asks, "You also play Hero deck and you don't know?". Judai merely smiles and says "Ah, I got it. Although it's also Hero deck, he just puts the different monsters from mine". Manjyome then seems to become more tired of him.

The duel is still running. Edo calls Kaiser "Sempai", saying that he is gonna move now. He declares the attack of E-Hero Phoenix Guy, Phoenix Shoot, against Cyber Dragon quickly. Two monsters have the same attack strengths; however, Misawa sees something different. Cyber is destroyed while E-Hero Phoenix Guy is safe. Edo feels sorry to Kaiser, claiming that although both monsters have the same attack points, E-Hero Phoenix Guy has the ability that can't be destroyed in battle. Setting a face-down card, Edo ends his turn.

In Kaiser's turn, he draws a card and gets Pot of Greed. Drawing additional two cards, he plays the magic card, Power Bond, from his hand [Power Bond - Magic: This card is treated as a Fusion Magic card, and only works for Machine Monsters. A Monster Fusion Summoned by this card has its attack strength doubled. At the End Phase of the activated turn, do damage to your Life Points equal to the original attack strength of the Monster]. Most people especially Sho are glad to see that Kaiser's S-card has finally been played. Sending two Cyber Dragon form his hand into the cemetery, he can summon a machine monster can be special summoned onto the field. Kaiser goes on this process to call out [Cyber Twin Dragon - 8/2800/2100: This Monster can attack twice in the same Battle Phase]. Due to another effect of Power Bond, Cyber Twin Dragon's attack points are doubled to 5600 (2800*2). Kaiser declares the attack of it, Evolution Twin Burst, against E-Hero Phoenix Guy at once. Although E-Hero Phoenix isn't destroyed in battle, Edo has to receive the damages normally. Therefore, his LP reduces significantly to 2600 (6100+2100-5600). Kaiser claims that the attack of Cyber Twin Dragon hasn't finished yet. Its special effect allows it to do another attack in this turn. Manjyome sees that if this second attack succeeds, Kaiser will be come the winner.

Elemental Charage
Trap Card

Cyber Twin Dragon does the second attack, creating big explosion and smoke. The reporter is wondering whether this will be the end of the game. Anyway, when the smokes faints, there appear Edo standing with 100 LP left and his E-Hero Phoenix Guy not destroyed in battle. People are all amazed why and how Edo could survive. Edo explains that before Kaiser's attack, he had activated his reversed trap card [Elemental Charge - Trap: For each E-HERO Monster on your side of the Field, increase your Life Points by 1000]. This card saved Edo by increasing his LP by 1000 points. As a result, his LP becomes 100 (2600+2100+1000-5600). Edo then claims the risk of Power Bond that Kaiser has to take at the end of turn. Kaiser has to get the direct damages equal to the original attack points of Cyber Twin Dragon (2800), so his LP decreases to 1200 (4000-2800).

Guard Penalty
Magic Card

It's now Edo's turn. Drawing a card, he summons E-Hero Sparkman in an attack position [E-Hero Sparkman -4/1600/1400]. He equips it with [Spark Blaster ~ Spark Gun - Equipment Magic: This card can only be equipped to an Elemental Hero - Sparkman. You can change the mode of 1 Monster on the Field. This effect can be used more than once, but if used 3 times, destroy this card]. Then, he plays another magic card [Guard Penalty - Instant Magic: In this turn, When an opposing Monster goes into defense mode, draw 1 card from your deck]. This card allows him to draw a card if the opponent's monster, Cyber Twin Dragon, is in a defense position. In sum, Edo activates the effect of Spark Blaster to change Cyber Twin Dragon into a defense position in order to play the effect of Guard Penalty. After drawing a new card, he reactivates the effect of Spark Blaster to change Cyber Twin Dragon back to the attack position. The effect of Spark Blaster can be played for three times, so Edo uses its last time to turn Cyber Twin Dragon into the defense position again. People feel very amazed by that Cyber Twin Dragon is treated like a pet. Kaiser certainly gets mad because his monster is played around and Edo seems to have fun with it. Sho looks amazed when he sees his brother getting mad and becoming heat up.

E-Hero Shining Phoenix Guy
Magic Card

When the effect of Spark Blaster is played three times, it has to be destroyed. Also, after Guard Penalty's effect is used until it's sent into the graveyard, Edo can draw another card. He claims to become more serious when he gets the card he wants. Playing Polymerization from his hand, he fuses E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Phoenix Guy on the field into [E-Hero Shining Phoenix Guy - 8/2500/2100: Increase this Monster's attack strength by 300 for each Monster with E-HERO in its name in your Cemetery]. Kenzan thinks that this new monster is supposed to be similar to Judai's E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman. By its special effect, its attack points can be increased by 300 points for each E-Hero monster in the graveyard. There are four E-Hero monsters in Edo's cemetery, Featherman/Burst Lady/Sparkman/Phoenix Guy, so the attack points of E-Hero Shinging Phoenix Guy become 3700 (2500+4*300). Edo declares its attack against defending Cyber Twin Dragon immediately. Setting a reversed card, Edo ends his turn.

For Kaiser, he claims for his victory, betting by his Kaiser title. It's now his turn. He draws a card and get [Cybernetic Fusion Support - Instant Magic: Pay half of your Life Points to activate this card. If all the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Machine-Type Fusion Monster are in your Graveyard, remove the Fusion Material Monsters in your Graveyard from play to Substitute this card as the Fusion Material Monsters]. Another hand is his last card, Polymerizatin. He plays both of them at the same time. He has to pay a half of his LP to play Cybernetic Fusion Support, so his LP goes down to 600 (1200/2). According to its effect, he can remove three Cyber Dragons in his graveyard from the game to summon specially its fusion monster, [Cyber End Dragon - 10/4000/2800: When this Monster attacks a Monster in defense mode with a defense strength lower than this Monster's attack strength, do Battle Damage to your opponent equal to the difference]. Misawa feels very impressed by that Kaiser can summon his strongest monster at such a perfect time.

Destiny Destroy
Trap Card

The audiences become more excited as well when Kaiser's victory-leading monster eventually appears. Kaiser then declares the attack of Cyber End Dragon, Eternal Evolution Burst, agasint E-Hero Shining Phoenix Guy at once. He smiles and thinks that this should be the conclusion of the game. Actually, it doesn't look like his normal personality to think of the victory while the game hasn't ended. Edo calls out his Sempai's name and says "Kaiser Ryo, as a Pro Sempai (senior), I have some warning for you. If you get so excited that you lose the control of yourself, you will be defeated in the pro league" (Edo considers himself a senior in the Pro League).

At this moment, Kaiser has just noticed Edo's face-down card, but he can no longer stop his attack. Cyber End Dragon lauches its steam at the same time Edo is openning his reversed trap card [Destiny Destroy - Trap: Choose 5 cards from your deck and send them to the Cemetery. For each Magic card you choose from this effect do 100 damage to your Life Points]. Due to its effect, he can send 5 cards from his deck into the graveyard. His main purpose is to activate the special effect of E-Hero Shining Phoenix Guy, whose attack points can be increased by 300 points for each E-Hero monster in his cemetery. Edo discards E-Hero Edgeman, Bubbleman, Wildman, Clayman, and Hero Signal, into the graveyard, resulting total 8 E-Hero monsters in there (plus Featherman, Burst Lady, Sparkman, and Phoenix Guy). Consequently, E-Hero Shining Phoenix Guy's attack points go up to 4900 (2500+8*300), surpassing Cyber End Dragon's. Cyber End Dragon is finally destroyed while Kaiser's LP becomes 0 (600+4000-4900).

People seem to be very surprised by Kaiser's defeat. Kaiser feels so upset as falling onto his knees. He tries to blame himself, but Edo stops his words. Edo says that his destiny had already been determined since before the duel started. Kaiser reminds himself of the similar words he heard previously in the city. He suspects whether Edo is the monster hunting criminals in the current news. Edo doesn't answer while leaving and smirking. All people looking at the screen become very shocked when their Kaiser was defeated in this game.

To be continued...

Sho

My dear brother was already defeated~

Judai

Be strong, Sho! In a game, one side must be defeated anyway.

Sho

But...Edo's deck is the same Hero deck as Big Brother's.

Judai

Ah, that might be bad for Kaiser. What would it be if Hero faces Hero?

Sho Next, "VS Edo part 1! E-Hero VS E-Hero". Big Brother, please win!
Judai There is such a Hero...~
