episode 73 summarized by Janime

 

Saiou is looking at his Tarot cards to predict the current situations. The top one is [Wheel of Fortune], which represents unexpected events. There are 3 face-down cards beneath it. The middle one is [The Fool], which represents Judai who had the new journey and obtained new Neos power. The right one is [The Heirophant], which represents Edo who is walking along with his own path. These cards represent what are now happening according to Wheel of Fortune. Saiou looks at the left card, wondering what this close by card refers to. He opens it, and there appears [Strength] which represents power. Saiou is curious whether the guy whom this card refers to is also influencing his destiny. Thus, he becomes interested, moving to Dual Academy by himself again.

Early in the morning at Duel Academy, Tome-San is waiting to catch an egg from a school hen, finally getting the golden egg for today pan (bread). Meanwhile, Sho is walking to Osiris Red to wake Judai up. He sees Judai hurry to leave his room. Sho asks what's happening. Judai tells him that it's time to get Draw pan (turn back to see more details about Draw Pan in episode 17). He hopes to get [golden egg pan - Ougon No Tamagopan] before running far away. Sho hurries to follow him behind.

In Judai's room, Kenzan is still sleeping and snoring on the third-floor bed, which belonged to Hayato's place before. He is dreaming of Dark Driceratops and Dark Tyranno facing against each other. Then, he falls down onto the floor. After getting up, he looks amazed by the appearance of Saiou in his room. Kenzan asks who he is. Saiou confirms whether this is Yuki Judai's room. Kenzan looks mad, further asking what business he has with his Big Brother. Saiou looks at Kenzan and realizes that he is actually [Strength], the card of power that is against him. Kenzan doesn't understand what Saiou is talking, asking again who Saiou is. Saiou excuses him politely before introducing himself properly as a manager of Edo Phoenix. He says his name, Saiou Takuma, while showing Kenzan his name card. Kenzan has realized that Saiou is whom Manjyome has been talking about all the time. Saiou seems not to know that Manjyome has been doing something like that. Kenzan blames him for not only Manjyome. Asuka also acts strangely. Saiou tells him that if people revere him, that's because of their free will. He didn't do anything to them at all. Kenzan certainly gets more mad, saying that he will dismantle Association of Light and take their hands out off Duel Academy. His spirit is so strong that it burns out as flame while his eyes become dinosaur eyes. Saiou looks at his strong spirit and wonders where Kenzan obtains that power from his body. He thinks that this should be fun, so he offers Kenzan that he will go and talk to Manjyome on one condition; Kenzan has to duel against him. Kenzan wonders whether the victory will be bet by the dismantling of Association of Light. Saiou says that the issue belongs to Manjyome's free will. He just wants to duel against him. Kenzan looks slightly amazed by the response.

 

On the other side, Sho and Juda are walking back with Tome-San, carrying a ton of Draw Pan packs. Judai is very confident that Golden Egg Pan must be in one of them as Sho doesn't think that it's easy. Tome-San sees Judai look active and optimistic as usual. Judai actually just feels hungry to eat them all. Closer to Osiris Red, people notice Edo standing in the front. Judai asks what he is doing here. Edo says that he has just found someone as looking toward Osiris Red. People follow his sight and see Kenzan standing against an unknown guy. Judai wonders who the opponent is. Edo s introduces him as Saiou Takuma, his manager and the leader of Association of Light. In other words, he is the person who changed Manjyome's personality by the duel. Judai thinks that this should be a trouble. He hands over his Draw Pan packs to Tome-San and runs into Kenzan. Sho also follows him. Edo still wonders why Saiou has come here in person. He says while opening a Draw Pan pack and eating it. Tome-San blames that Edo shouldn't do this to Judai's pan. Unexpectedly, Edo gets Golden Egg Pan that Judai really wants it. His draw skill seems excellent as usual.

Kenzan and Saiou are preparing their duel disks. Kenzan looks amazed when he sees Saiou look awkwardly. Saiou excuses him because he isn't got used to using his duel disk. Thus, Kenzan has to tell him how to start the duel disk machine. Saiou says that he has just used this machine for the first time, so it should be fun. Kenzan wonders whether Kenzan is joking him. When both of them are ready, they declare to start the duel.

First turn comes to Kenzan. Drawing a card, he summons [Giant Rex - 4/2000/1200: This monster can only be summoned when there is a face card in an opponent's Field] onto the field in an attack positioin. Saiou becomes amazed by the quick appearance of the great monster with 2000 attack points. Kenzan ends his turn here. Then, Judai and Sho run in. Judai tells Kenzan to be more careful because they don't know what Saiou is planning to do. Kenzan claims that he has already known that. Saiou looks back and see Edo, hoping him to observe this game carefully.

Arcana Force I_The Magician
Monster Card

Next turn comes to Saiou. He draws a card and gets Reversing Destiny. He keeps it onto his hand and summons [Arcana Force I_The Magician - 4/1100/1100: Toss 1 coin when this Monster is Summoned. Depending on whether the toss is heads or tails, you aquire one of the following effects. 1) Heads: In the turn a Magic card is played, double this cards' original attack strength until the end of the turn. 2) Tails: Your opponent gains 500 Life Points each time a Spell Card is activated] onto the field in an attack position. Once this monster is summoned onto the field, the card appears above and turns clockwise. Kenzan wonders what it is. Saiou explains that it's the thing to determine a destiny. He tells Kenzan to stop it to define different effects for either upright or reversed positions. Kenzan yells out to stop the movement of the card firmly, and the card stops at the upright position. Saiou explains the upright effect of this monster that if a magic card is played in the turn, the attack points of this monster double. Its effect doesn't sound good. Kenzan thinks that he's just got the bad luck. Saiou points out that the whole destiny is generally predetermined, giving the examples of the extinction of Kenzan's lovely dinosaurs. Kenzan suddenly gets angry and argues that the dinosaurs haven't been extincted yet. However, they are still living in his body.

Vision of Future World
Magic Card

Saiou thinks how romance he is, going to show the destiny of Kenzan who is represented by [Strength]. Kenzan begins to be confused by his words. Saiou then plays a magic card [Vision of a Future World ~ Raise No Vision - Magic; You can only activate this card when your opponent has a face-up Monster on their Field. Turn over cards from your opponent's deck until you find a Monster card. If the Monster you've found is the same Sub-Type as a Monster on the Field, increase your opponent's Life Points by 1000 and return those cards in the same order on the top of your opponent's deck] from his hand. According to its effect, Saiou can turn over Kenzan's deck until he finds a monster card. He walks in and wonders what kind of Kenzan's future destiny will be. Kenzan gives him his deck as saying firmly that his future must be Dinosaur. Saiou receives Kenzan's deck and begins to draw it. The first one is a magic card, Ultra Evolution Pill - Revised Formula, and Saiou catches a monster, Ultimate Tyranno, on the second one. Saiou agrees to Kenzan's Dinosaur destiny before explaining the remaining effect of his magic card. If the monster he drew has the same sub-type as the monster on Kenzan's field, Kenzan's LP can increase by 1000. Saiou also has to return the drawn cards in order to Kenzan's deck. Ultimate Tyranno is the same Dinosaur type as Giant Rex on the field, so Kenzan's LP increases to 5000 (4000+1000).

Kenzan feels sorry to Saiou for giving him LP while Saiou returns to his position. Judai and Sho both wonder why Saiou gave Kenzan LP as a free present. Edo explains that Saiou actually aims to predict the future cards of Kenzan and the special effect of Upright position of Arcana Force I_The Magician. When the magic card, Vision of Future World, is played in this turn, Arcana Force I_The Magician's attack ponits can double. As a result, its total attack points become 2200 (1100*2). Saiou declares the attack of Arcana Force I_The Magician, Arcana Magic, against Giant Rex quickly. After Giant Rex is destroyed, Kenzan's LP reduces to 4800 (5000+2000-2200). At Saiou's ending phase, Arcana Force I_The Magician's attack points return to its original 1100 points. Setting up 2 reversed cards, Saiou ends his turn.

In Kenzan's turn, drawing a card (It must be Ultra Evolution Pill - Revised Formula because it has just been shown previously due to the effect of Vision of a Future World), he summons [Archaeopteryx ~ Shisouchou Archaeopteryx - 3/300/1300: This Monster can attack the opposing player's Life Points directly] in an attack mode. He then play the 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]. At this moment when Kenzan plays the magic card, Saiou activates the special Upright-position effect of Arcana Force I_The Magician. Again, its attack points go up to 2200 (1100*2). Kenzan continues the effect of Ultra Evolution Pill - Revised Formula. Sacrificing a bird-type monster on the field, Archaeopteryx, he can special summon [Dark Tyranno - 7/2600/1800: If the only cards your opponent has in their Monster Card Zone are Monsters in defense mode, this card can attack your opponent directly] from his hand onto the field in an attack position.

Kenzan laughs and says that although the attack points of Arcana Force I_The Magician can double, they still can't reach Dark Tyranno's. He then lets it attack Arcana Force I_The Magician. Arcana Force I_The Magician is destroyed, so Saiou's LP decreases to 3600 (4000+2200-2600). Kenzan tells Saiou that his destiny has already been changed by Judai. Judai is the one who woke up dinosaur power inside him. Thus, Kenzan believes that he isn't influenced by any threat.

Pentacle of Ace
Magic Card

Turn comes to Saiou. He draws a card, and plays a magic card [Pentacle of Ace - Magic: Toss 1 coin when this Monster is Summoned. Depending on whether the toss is heads or tails, you aquire one of the following effects. 1) Heads: Draw 1 card from your deck and increase your Life Points by 500. 2) Tails: Your opponent draws 1 card from their deck and increase their Life Points by 500]. Repeatedly, the card appears above and turns clockwise. Kenzan yells out to stop it and to determine the position effect. Pentacle of Ace stops at the Upright position. Due to its Upright effect, Saiou can draw a card and increase his LP by 500. Therefore, his LP goes up to 4100 (3600+500). Saiou is going to show Kenzan that the destiny can lead a person.

Arcana Force XII_The Chariot
Monster Card

He then summons [Arcana Force XII_The Chariot - 4/1700/1700: Toss 1 coin when this Monster is Summoned. Depending on whether the toss is heads or tails, you aquire one of the following effects. 1) Heads: When an opponent's Monster is destroyed as a result of battle, you can Special Summon that Monster to your Field. 2) Tails: When this card is destroyed as a result of battle, this card is Special Summoned to your opponent's Field] onto the field in an attack position. The card again appears above and turns clockwise. Kenzan looks annoyed and yells out to stop it. Arcana Force XII_The Chariot stops in a Reversed position. According to its Reversed-position effect, if it's destroyed in battle, it will be resummoned onto Kenzan's field. Kenzan certainly smiles. It seems that he has got the good pick again. Saiou then declares the attack of Arcana Force XII_The Chariot against Dark Tyranno. People absolutely don't understand what Saiou is doing. Arcana Force XII_The Chariot obviously has fewer attack points than Dark Tyranno's. If it's destroyed in battle, it will reappear on Kenzan's field due to the reversed-position effect. Edo notes that Saiou can see through the whole destiny. His power is a real thing. Judai and Sho apparently look amazed by his unbelievable ability.

 
 
summary - second period
episode 73 summarized by Janime


Arcana Force XII_The Chariot begins to attack Dark Tyranno, and Kenzan lets his monster counter the strike. Arcana Force XII_The Chariot is certainly destroyed as Saiou's LP decreases to 3200 (4100+1700-2600). Due to the Reversed-position effect of Arcana Force XII_The Chariot, it's resummoned onto Kenzan's field. Then, the card appears above and turns clockwise. At this time, Saiou will be the one to stop and determine its position. Once he makes it stop, Arcana Force XII_The Chariot appears again in the Reversed position. Kenzan thinks that Saiou has such a bad luck on his many tries. Saiou smirks because everything seems to follow his destiny, but Kenzan hasn't realized it yet.

After that, Saiou plays a magic card [Suit of Sword X - Magic: Toss 1 coin when this Monster is Summoned. Depending on whether the toss is heads or tails, you aquire one of the following effects. 1) Heads: Destroy all Monsters on the opponent's Field. 2) Tails: Destroy all Monsters on your Field] from his hand (This is the same magic card Saiou played with Manjyome in episode 61). The card appears and turns clockwise. Before Kenzan is going to make it stop as usual, Saiou interrupts him. He especially intends to explain the effects of this card. With the Upright-position effect, all Kenzan's monsters will be destroyed; however, with the Reversed-position effect, all Saiou's monsters will be destroyed. Kenzan realizes that the Upright-position is actually bad for him. Once he yells to stop it, the position appears Upright. Unfortunately, Arcana Force XII_The Chariot and Dark Tyranno both have to be wiped out from his field.

Ace of Wand
Trap Card

Furthermore, Saiou opens his reversed trap card [Ace of Wand - Trap: Toss 1 coin when this Monster is Summoned. Depending on whether the toss is heads or tails, you aquire one of the following effects. 1) Heads: When a Monster is destroyed by an effect other than a result of battle, that Monster's controller regains Life Points equal to that Monster's attack strength. 2) Tails: When a Monster is destroyed by an effect other than a result of battle, that Monster's controller recieves damage equal to that Monster's attack strength]. The card is opened and turns clockwise. Saiou explains that if it stops at the Upright position, Kenzan can gain LP equal to the total attack points of the monsters destroyed due to an effect. Neverntheless, if it stops at the Reversed position, Kenzan instead has to take them as damages. Judai begins to count the total points that will be attached. They should be 4300 (1700+2600: attack points of Arcana Force XII_The Chariot and Dark Tyranno). Judai seems not to get the results from his calculation, just saying that they should be pretty much. Sho realizes that Judai actually doesn't understand anything. Edo is concerned by that Kenzan may not be able to escape from the destiny whose the affect of the card has already been revealed.

Kenzan gets more nervous, and Saiou asks what Kenzan is gonna do. The one who will determine this destiny is Kenzan himself. Kenzan yells out to stop it, and there appears Reversed position. As a result, Saiou claims that Kenzan has to take 4300 damages. Kenzan's LP reduces significantly to 500 (4800-4300). Then, Saiou ends his turn. Kenzan looks obviously tired, thinking that Saiou is too strong to beat. Despite the fact that he doesn't believe in any destiny, he can't oppose it. Seeing Kenzan losing his fighting spirit, Judai yells out to wake him up. Kenzan is just depressed by non-existing Wheel of Fortune of Saiou. A duel is fun because nobody knows what is going on until the end. Judai believes that Kenzan can evolve during the game. Thus, Kenzan should hold courage to oppose against any destiny. Hearing what Judai said, Kenzan gains back his spirit and returns to pay attention to the game.

Dino Tank
Monster Card

Turn now comes to Kenzan. He draws a card, and it is certainly Ultimate Tyranno (It must be Ultimate Tyranno because it was shown previously due to the effect of Vision of a Future World). Kenzan turns back to be active and claims the DNA Dinosaur in his body. His his eyes turn to Dinosaur eyes to express the real Dinosaur power in his body. Saiou looks slightly surprised by this strength. Kenzan then summons [Dino Base - 4/0/2300: If this card is on the Field, you can sacrifice 1 Dinosaur Sub-Type Monster from your hand or Field. You can then Special Summon 1 Dyna Tank from your Fusion Deck] onto the field in an attack position. Due to its effect, he sacrifice Ultimate Tyranno on his hand with Dino Base on the field to special summon [Dino Tank - 7/?/?: This card's attack strength is equal to the Dinosaur Sub-Type Monster used to sacrifice to Summon this card from your Fusion Deck. If this card is the target of a Magic, Trap, or Monster effect, shift that effect to target 1 of your opponent's Monsters] onto the field in an attack mode. The attack points of this monster is equal to Strength points of the sacrificed monster, Ultimate Tyranno. As a result, Dino Tank has total attack points of 3000 (Ultimate Tyranno's attack points). Kenzan declares its stike against Saiou directly, so Saiou's LP dramatically reduces to 200 (3200-3000). He smirks before ending his turn here. Judai and Sho clap their hands together that Kenzan finally did it. Only Edo still looks worried.

Necro Sacrifice
Magic Card

The turn moves to Saiou. He draws a card and plays a magic card [Necro Sacrifice - Magic; Choose 1 or 2 Monsters from your Cemetery and Special Summon them on your opponent's Field. Your opponent decides on what their modes will be. Equal to the number of Monsters Special Summoned, you can Summon with that Sacrifice cost fufilled already]. Due to its effect, Saiou can choose to summon a monster from his cemetery, Arcana Force XII_The Chariot onto Kenzan's field. Kenzan will be able to choose its mode, so he selects the attack position. Once, Arcana Force XII_The Chariot is resummoned onto Kenzan's field, its card again appears above and turns clockwise. Saiou makes it stop, and it appears Reversed position. He explains that if this card is destroyed in battle, it will be resummoned onto the opponent's field (Saiou's field). Kenzan claims that he has already understood everything Saiou wanted to say.

Arcana Force VIII_Strength
Monster Card

After that, Saiou normal summons [Arcana Force VIII_Strength 5/1800/1800: Toss 1 coin when this Monster is Summoned. Depending on whether the toss is heads or tails, you aquire one of the following effects. 1) Heads: Gain control of 1 Monster on your opponent's Field. 2) Tails: Your opponent gains control of all Monsters on your Field except for this one] onto the field in an attack position. The card appears above and turns clockwise as other cards do. Saiou explains that if it stops at the Upright position, he can gain control one of Kenzan's monster. Nevertheless, if it stops at the Reversed position, Kenzan can gain control all of his monsters except for this monster. When Kenzan stops it, there appears Upright. Thus, due to the Upright-position effect, Saiou intends to take control of Dino Tank. Meanwhile, Kenzan claims the special effect of Dino Tank. If it becomes a target of an effect, the effect is switched to one of Saiou's monsters. Saiou has only one monster on his field; herefore, Arcana Force VIII_Strength turns to be on Kenzan's side. Kenzan thanks Saiou for giving him more monster. Saiou thinks that it may be too fast to say that, saying that only one card can completely the duel into a bad direction. Kenzan looks surprised since he doesn't seem aware of Saiou's reversed card.

Reversing Destiny
Trap Card

Now, Saiou opens his last reversed trap card [Reversing Destiny ~ Gyakutan Suru Unmei - Trap: All Monsters on the Field with Arcana Force in their names with their effects as heads and tails are switched] (The first card he drew at the beginning of the game). According to its effect, the (destiny) positions of all Arcana monsters on the field are switched. Thus, Arcana Force XII_The Chariot that is in the Reversed position turns into the Upright position while Arcana Force VIII_Strength that is in the Upright position turns into the Reversed position. Saiou claims the Reversed-position effect of Arcana Force VIII_Strength. It allows Saiou to gain control all Kenzan's monsters except for this one. As a result, Arcana Force XII_The Chariot and Dino Tank are switched to Saiou's field. Saiou immediately declares the battle. Dino Tank destroys Arcana Force VIII_Strength. Kenzan's LP reduces to 0 (500+1800-3000) while he is falling onto the ground (It seems that he's attacked by his own Dinosaur, Dino Tank, and the card that represents him, Arcana Force VIII_Strength, is beaten up).

Saiou walks in and says that this is actually Kenzan's destiny. He had better think of a new destiny. The road of the light in front of him has already been opened. It will be such a beautifully white road. Saiou apparently tries to take him into Association of Light. Sho certainly gets mad while Judai tells Saiou to step away from Kenzan. Saiou turns back to them. His purple eyes begin to glow and stop their movement. Kenzan is trying to get up, saying that Saiou is pretty strong and wonderful. Judai and Sho think that Kenzan has already been drawn into Association of Light. Sho tries to stop him not to go. Anyway, Kenzan finally gets up and says that he won't be defeated again in the next duel. Saiou looks very shocked. Despite having showered by the baptism of light, Kenzan hasn't changed yet. Judai and Sho feel much relieved. Kenzan asks whether Saiou thinks that he is a soft human. He tells him to look at the scar on his left leg, showing it up. Previously, we went to excavate dinosaur fossil and experienced an accident. The rock fell down, and his left leg bone was broken. The dinosaur fossil was imbedded into body as a spart part, and dinosaur DNA was blended into him. After that, he became such a strong kid who was never defeated. Judai is the one who woke up his power. Kenzan says while his eyes turn to dinosaur eyes again. Judai tries to say that Kenzan has become something like this because of this reason. Anyway, Sho can catch that Judai actually doesn't understand anything at all.

" Previously, when I was excavating dinosaur fossil, my leg bone was injuried by the accidence, the falling rocks. At that time, the dinosaur fossil was imbedded into the place of the insufficient bones. At that time, Dinosaur DNA blended to me, and I became a strong kid who was never defeated."

Saiou doesn't say anything, but walk away quietly. He has already realized that Kenzan's strength comes from Judai. Judai and Sho run in as Kenzan feels sorry to make them worried. Kenzan asks whether Sho was previously crying for him. Sho absolutely refuses that he did. Edo looks Saiou walking pass, and they don't say any word together. In the classroom, Professor Chronos officially a new student. Judai, Kenzan, and Sho certainly look surprised when Professor Chronos introduces a new transferred third-grade student, Saiou Takuma. Judai looks very anxious and doesn't understand what Saiou is planning to do here.

to be continued...

Sho New friend is...Saiou! Why has he transferred to Duel Academy?
Judai Although it's a concern, we are gonna have a school travelling. I really wanna go.
Sho Why are you talking without concern like that? Hee! Is Saiou going to predict the destination?
Judai Hold on! Let's decide the destination of the school travelling by a duel!
Sho Next, [Yomigaeru! Ikikaeru! Des Frog!].
Judai This is so fun! Is the person who can see the duel spirit a princess?

card information


[Strength]
Tarot Card
| Major Arcana
Upright Meaning | Strength, courage, conviction, energy, defiance, action, confidence, zeal, matter over mind or mind over matter, accomplishment. Negative interpretations include weakness, pettiness, impotence, sickness, lack of faith, abuse of power, succumbing to temptation, or indifference.

This card should be easy to guess. According to its position, it refers to Kenzan, the third unexpected events besides Judai's and Edo's. Kenzan represents a threatening powerful man toward Saiou because he is a potential ally of Judai. This episode reveals where he obtains such a strength (Dinosaur DNA in his body). Also, Saiou understood that power was his main way of winning in every duel. Consider the duels with Judai, Kabayama, and Sho. Thus, in Saiou's duel with him, he used Strength card to beat him by letting him have all of the attack points (when Strength card transferred sides). Then, by using Reversing Destiny, he took Kenzan's best card and beat him with his own strength.
