episode 86 summarized by Janime

 

At Duel Academia, a mysterious guy is describing the scene of the school, "What a scenery, Duel Academia~ The true shore of beach and the world duel class are consumed~ The stage is shortage ~ The audiences are the gods ~ We can't be defeated by Amateur-San in the world of duel show. Now then, it's an ordinary game, a game~". He finishes his introduction words following by the swirling of Sakura (Cherry Tree).

Note: He speaks in a poem term or when people say in Kabuki play.

Meanwhile, Sho, Judai, and Kenzan are climbing up to a hill to look for some opponents. Sho is walking behind and feeling very exhausted. He doesn't think that they can find any opponent up here. Judai doesn't think so. Many pro and amateur should already be on this island for GX World tournament, so he believes that someone must be here. Anyway, Kenzan doesn't either why Judai has to look for an opponent on the high place like this. Sho murmurs, "Climb up to get the air or whatever?". He is supposed to say that there is nothing up here, and Judai is wasting time doing this. Judai looks at Sho and gets excited, wondering whether Sho wants to become his opponent. Thus, he prepares this duel disk for the match. Sho is afraid and thinks that Judai may be kidding. Kenzan hopes this game should be fun, telling Sho to try his best. Judai, somehow, tells them all to have a three-duel match. Sho and Kenzan begin to cry because they don't want to duel against Judai at all. Suddenly, they see Sakura swirling around (Kenzan calls it "Sakura Fubuki" or "Cherry Blossom") coming by the voice of the mysterious guy. On the top of the hill, the guy is getting dressed by the traditional Japanese costume, Kubuki uniform, and his face is made up with the red patterns looking like Kabuki mask. He says, "There, that group! Who will be my opponent?".

Judai Really, only I'm wandering around freely.
Kenzan Marufuji-sempai.
Sho So, to find an opponent, you come to places like this.. There is no one nowhere.
Judai No. In this island, many pros are here. Somebody must be around.
Kenzan But why in high places though?
Sho He means that big smokes rise high.
Judai Ah! Sho, you! I know, you wanted to be my opponent.
Sho No way!!
Kenzan Kukyakyakya~ This should be fun. Both of you, do well~
Judai Who wants to do first? Let's do battle royal together~
Kenzan Big-brother....
Sho Big-brother....
Judai What is is?
Kenzan Sakura wind saurus?
Kabukid Now, you common pears over there, who is my opponent?

Judai and Kenzan are getting surprised by who the mysterious guy is. Sho asks whether they don't know him, a famous pro duelist. Judai is afraid that he has never heard of it. The guy introduces himself as the star of showmanship, the champ of the enter (entertainment) pro league named [Kabukid]. Sho thinks that he's just a cosplay duelist. Only Judai thinks that he's so cool. Then, Kabukid asks whether Judai is interested in dueling with him. Judai, of course, agrees quickly. That's what he has been up here for. Kabukid is glad that Judai accepts the duel, saying that those yellow guys, Sho and Kenzan, are lucky to see the duel (or the show).

Note: Kabukid calls Judai "Nii-Chan" which means "Brother" or "Senior". It's the word he calls an audience at higher level to give the respect (The audience is a god for the player).

Kabukid and Judai are ready on the top of the hill where is such a nice scene for Kabuki stage. Judai introduces himself his full name and bows to Kabukid. Kabukid could see the proper greeting from him. On the other side, Sho and Kenzan are worried by whether Judai's gonna be okey with the pro champ. Judai thinks that it doesn't look cool by the fact that he refuses to duel because he is afraid. Whatever he thinks is just to have a fun duel with Kabukid. Seeing that Judai just wants to have fun, Kabukid turns his face away. He feels that this may be what an amateur can mostly think of, but that's fine for his active feeling. Meanwhile, Sho and Kenzan have just noticed Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon sitting under a tree on the other side, having a tea, and watching the duel. Although the school doesn't have TV broadcast, they can see the live game here. Of course, they can't miss this match because they are also the fans of Kabukid.

Judai What is it, him?
Kenzan Very lurid.
Sho You two, don't you know? He's very famous pro-duelist.
Kenzan Eh?
Judai Eh?
Kabukid Eng, how can it be? You do not know about me, it's preposterous.
Judai Well... I did't hear about you that's all.
Kabukid As me!! I'm flower of duelist, showmanship! Inter-Pro League champion. The mighty high name 'Kabukid'
Kenzan Whoa
Sho Cosplay Duelist~
Judai Wow! Cool!
Kabukid Eng? Hey, you onii-chan with red clothes!
Judai Eh? Me?
Kabukid Yes. How is it? Dueling me?
Judai Ah!! I'll do~ I'll do~ that's why I came here as well.
Kabukid Okay, it's decided then. Those yellowies that are stuck next to you are lucky. Because they get to watch my duel with free of charge.
('yellowies' can mean 'cheapskate' as well)
Judai I'm Yuki Judai. Thanks.
Kabukid Niiice. Well mannered.
Sho Big Brother, are you okay?
Kenzan They say he's pro champ.
Judai It's bad if you don't duel because you're scared. I want to enjoy duel with him as much as possible.
Kabukid You want to enjoy duel? Ah~ so is rookie like this.
Judai Eh?
Kabukid Well, okay. Let's see your skils. It seems that you have your confidence.
Judai Of course~
Sho Hum? It's Chronos sensei and vice principal Napolean.
Kenzan When did they....
Napoleon Though watching it by TV on academia is nice,
Chronos It's better to see actual. We'll get autograph of his later.
Napoleon We're fan of Kabukid.
Chronos Yes.

When both of them are ready, the duel begins. First turn comes to Kabukid. He draws a card and plays the field magic card [Kabuki Stage - Ohashi ~ Kabuki Butai - Ohashi - Field Magic: {When either player Normal Summons or Special Summons a Monster, they must summon it in Attack Mode. When one of your Monsters has recieved an opponent's attack, Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your hand in Attack Mode. By sending this card to the Cemetery, You can search your Deck for 1 card with Kabuki Stage in its name and activate it. This effect can only be used once per turn.}], changing the field into a traditional Japanese Kabuki stage. Judai finds himself on a runway or stage path (Hanamichi) connected to the stage. The scene is open, and there appears the bridge theme. Kabukid is glad to see that Judai seems to know this path well; nevertheless, it will be the runway to the defeat for him. Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon get excited by what they have waited has finally come. It's Kabukid's speciality or Kabuki Stage. Kenzan wonders which side the teachers are with. Sho doesn't care because they always act like that. Furthermore, he is more interested in what kind of effect Kabubi Stage has.

There is a flower (player) on the stage. Kabukid says before he summons [Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty ~ Renjin Tengu - Yoshi Tsune - 4/800/800: {When a Monster with an ATK of 1000 or higher attacks this card while it is in Attack Mode, this card switches to Defense Mode. Once per turn while this card is in defense mode, this card cannot be destroyed as a result of battle.}] onto the field in an attack position. He then ends his turn at this point.

Note: In Kabuki, men can act as female characters. Although the character is a guy, it can represent a flower (beauty of art) on stage.

Judai feels that it's so swell. The turn comes to him. Drawing a card, he summons [E-Hero Sparkman - 4/1600/1400] onto the field in an attack position. He declares its attack against Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty quickly. Kabukid once activates the special effect of his monster. When it's attacked by a monster with higher attack points than 1000, it can turn to a defense position. Judai argues that Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty has only 800 defense points, E-Hero Sparkman still wins. Kabukid feels sorry to him before explaining another effect of Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty that, once per turn, it can't be destroyed in battle when it's in the defense position. Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty then jumps up to dodge the stike of E-Hero Sparkman smartly and turns back to the defense mode. Judai looks very impressed by such an act.

Not yet, Kabuki activates the effect of the field magic Kabuki Stage - Ohashi at this timing. By its effect, when a player has recieved the attack, he can special summon a 1 level or 4 monster from his hand. Thus, he special summons [Armed Samurai - Ben Kei ~ Jyuusou Musha - Ben Kei - 4/500/800: In addition to a normal attack, this card can attack during the same Battle Phase as many times as the number of Equip Cards equipped to this card] onto the field in an attack position. Now, Kabukid claims his actors have already been in set. Judai wonders whose turn this actually is after seeing the overacting of Kabukid. The then ends his turn.

[ Kabuki Stage - Ohashi ]

"Ohashi" means "Big Bridge". It's actually "Goyo Bridge" where the two legendary Japanese warriors, Benkei and Yoshitsune, had a battle. The story about this fight was early mentioned in (episode 55). At that time, Kenzan represents Benkei while Judai represents Yoshitsune. However, they are now played as main chracters in Kabukid's deck. This battle among those two is one of the popular scenes mostly played in Kabuki.

 

[ Armed Samurai - Benkei ]

>> This card actually represents the legendary warrior "Saito Musashibo Benkei". Read the background of this character in (episode 55)

 

[ Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty ]

>> This card actually represents the legendary warrior "Minamoto Yoshitsune", a brilliant general whose tactics won a string of victories for his brother and Taira clan. He has a special sword training with "Tengu".

 

[ Tengu ]

It's either god or evil in in Japanese folklore. Tengu has an expert in martial arts, battle tactics, and swordsmithings. They sometimes impart this knowledge to human beings. One of them is "Minamoto Yoshitsune" who learned sword fighting from the tengu king. The instruction does not require the student to meet a tengu in person, but tengu can impart this knowledge through dreams.

The turn moves back to Kabuki. Drawing a card, he switchs Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty back into the attack position and equips the magic card [Halberd of the Sohei ~ Souhei No Naginata - Equipment Magic: This card can only be Equipped to a Warrior Sub-Type Monster. Increase the Equipped Monster's attack strength by 500 points. If the Equipped monster would be destroyed as a result of battle, destroy this card instead. When destroyed by this effect, inflict 500 points of damage to the opponent] with Armed Samurai - Ben Kei. This card increases its attack points by 500 points, so they finally go up to 1000 (500+500). Kabukid says that the fun thing will be from now on. After that, he plays the magic card [Great Mié ~ Oumie - Magic: Increase ATK of all Monsters on your Field by 500 points and decrease the ATK of all Monsters on your opponent's Field by 500 points. This effect lasts until the End Phase of the turn this effect is activated]. According to its effect, the attack points of all monsters on Kabukid's side increase by 500 points while those on Judai's side decrease by the same amounts. As a result, the attack pionts of Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty and Armed Samurai - Ben Kei become 1300 (800+500) and 1500 (1000+500) respectively. On the other hand, the attack points of E-Hero Sparkman reduce to 1100 (1600-500).

Kabukid lets Armed Samurai - Ben Kei cut down E-Hero Sparkman. This reduces Judai's LP to 3600 (4000+1100-1500). At this moment, Judai uses the effect of Kabukid's field magic, Kabuki Stage - Ohashi, to special summon [E-Hero Wildman - 4/1500/1600: This Monster cannot be effected by Trap cards] onto the field in a defense position. Kabukid tells Judai that it's the rule that if a monster gets up onto the stage, it must be summoned in an attack position. Judai looks pretty shocked by his mistake. Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon think that Judai doesn't have the good study to memorize the effect of the field magic. Therefore, they decide to give Judai demerit/penalty points. Judai is getting more surprised, claiming that he has never heard that this will affect his personal record. Kenzan asks whether Sho has heard of this. They both seem to have no idea. Then, Professor Chronos says that he's just kidding, knocking them down.

[ Halberd of the Sohei ]

"Sohei" is "priest warriors" which represents "Benkei". Thus, he is mostly called "Sohei Benkei" in the legend. On the other side, Halberd or "Naginata" is a pole weapon traditionally used by Japanese samurai. It consists of a wood shaft with a curved blade fashioned onto the end, and is similar to the European glaive. Usually, it also had a sword-like guard (tsuba) between the blade and shaft. During the war at that time, Naginata rose to a position of particularly high esteem. In the battle between Benkei and Yoshitsune at Goyo Bridge, Benkei used this weapon fight him. Thus, in anime, there is no doubt that this equipment magic, "Halberd of the Sohei", is supposed to be equipped only with "Sohei Benkei".

 

[ Great Mié ]

>> It comes from the word "Oumie" which means dramatic pose, grand gesture, or grandstanding in Kabuki play.

As a whole, E-Hero Wildman must change its position to be in an attack position according to the correct effect of Kabuki Stage - Ohashi. The turn is still with Kabukid. He activates the special effect of Armed Samurai - Ben Kei. It can attack during the same battle phase as many times as the number of equipment cards equipped with it. There is one equipment magic, Halberd of the Sohei, attached with Armed Samurai - Ben Kei, so it can do one more attack. Kabukid lets it attack E-Hero Wildman. Judai wonders by this strike since Armed Samurai - Ben Kei and E-Hero Wildman have the same 1500 attack points. When both monsters battle, E-Hero Wildman is destroyed. Judai becomes very confused why only Armed Samurai - Ben Kei is safe. Kabukid explains that the equipment magic, Halberd of the Sohei, was protecting his monster. By the effect of Halberd of the Sohei, it can be destroyed to keep the monster from destruction. Also, it can inflict 500 direct damages to the opponent. Thus, Halberd of the Sohei turns around in the sky before falling down to strike Judai. This reduces Judai's LP to 3100 (3600-500). Kabukid says that, originally at this timing, the audiences would cheer clamorously. Although he doesn't expect any audience here, he sees Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon cheering him out loud. Kabukid is really impressed since the audiences are the gods for the player.

Kabukid hasn't done his turn yet. He continues the direct attack of Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty against Judai. When he gets such a strong hit, his LP goes down to 1800 (3100-1300). Professor Chronos is very impressed by such a wonderful play while Vice Principal Napoleon feels that Kabukid's a real man. From now on, they expect Kabuki play a new stage (At this period, Napoleon speaks by France, "Oui. Merci beaucoup" which means "Yes, Thank you very much"). Kabukid says that it's the second act before activating the effect of Kabuki Stage - Ohashi. Sending it into the cemetery, Kabukid can special activate a new field magic [Kabuki Stage - Sakurayama ~ Kabuki Butai - Sarukayama - Field Magic: {When either player Normal Summons or Special Summons a Monster, they must Summon it in attack mode. When battling with an opposing monster, its attack target is chosen at random. By sending this card to the Cemetery, you can search your deck for 1 card with Kabuki Stage in its name and activate it. This effect can be used only once a turn.}] from his deck. The scene changes from the bridge theme into Sakura theme, which is a popular scene in actual Kabuki play. Judai wonders what kind of effect it's gonna be. Kabukid would like to have the audiences had more fun by such a wonderful stage (Kabukid mentions a character named of "Shizuka Gozen" dancing on stage. Please read the background note for better understanding).

[ Kabuki Stage - Sakurayama ]

"Sakurayama" means "Mountain of Cherry Blossoms" or "Sakura Trees". It's such a popular and traditional scene in any Kabuki play especially "Yoshitsune's Thousand Cherry Trees ~ Yoshitsune Sembon-zakura", one of the most popular Kabuki story. In the story, there is also scene that Benkei stands beside Yoshitsune under Sakura tree.

Kabukid summons [Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl ~ Tenjyou Maihime - Shizuka - 3/300/600: When this card is targetted by an opponent's Monster, increase your Life Points by 600 points] onto the field in an attack position. He then equips the magic card [Drum of the Fabled Curse ~ Hatsune no Tsuzumi - Equipment Magic: When the Equipped Monster is made the target of an attack by an opposing monster, Special Summon 1 Battle Claw - Kitsune from your Deck, and then change the target of that attack to Battle Claw - Kitsune] with it. However, Sho wonders why the attack points of the monster don't change after it's equipped with the magic card. Kenzan even becomes more curious what kind of the equipment magic it is. At this moment, Judai seems to be uncertain as his face looks very confused.

Next, Kabukid declares that the effect of Great Mié has finished here at his end phase. Thus, Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty's and Armed Samurai - Ben's attack points return to their original points, 800 (1300-500) and 500 (1000-500) respectively. Here is the end of Kabukid's turn. Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon, meanwhile, express their appreciation to the gorgeous play (At this point, Napoleon speaks by France, "Très bien" which means "Very good"). They feel so happy that they have a chance to look at Kabukid's play and have some sea like this. Kenzan sees his teachers very careless and uneasygoing. Despite the fact that the student they teach may be going to lose, they still can be happy like that. Sho thinks it's just their normal act. More importantly, he is getting worried about Judai. He can notice that Judai looks different. His attitude doesn't look positive as usual while his face seems obviously serious.

[ Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl ]

This monster represents "Shizuka Gozen", a beautiful mistress and also a concubine and lover of Minamoto Yoshitsune. She and Yoshitsune met and fell in love, but by the time she had become pregnant, Yoshitsune was on the run for his life. She was captured and taken to Minamoto Yoritomo, Yoshitsune's older half-brother, in Kamakura. There she gave birth to a son, who was promptly killed by Yoritomo. She was then forced to perform a dance for Yoritomo and his wife Hojo Masako at a temple celebration, where she sang a song of praise and danced for her love Yoshitsune. This greatly angered Yoritomo, and he intended on having her put to death but his wife begged for Shizuka's life. She was freed and sought to follow Yoshitsune, but she learned of his death. She became a nun and died in 1189. Her song is famous and is still sung today by Geisha.

 

[ Drum of the Fabled Curse ]

This magic card represents the drum (Tsuzumi) called "Hatsune". Yoshitsune received this drum from the retired emperor Goshirakawa and gave it to Shizuka so that she could think of it as a part of himself. Thus, this magic card or drum is supposed to equipped only with Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl.

 
 
summary - second period
episode 86 summarized by Janime

 

Judai would like to make sure his thought, so he begins to talk to Kabukid. He accepts that Kabukid's skill and play is very gaudy and magnificent. It's so attractive that the audiences aren't bored of watching. However, he can feel something different. Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon wonder what Judai intends to say. The opponent is Kabukid, a famous player of the world, so there supposed to be no mistake. Judai is mostly a sentitive guy in a duel. He can learn how the opponent is during the match. He has felt uncertain for a while in this game. Judai asks Kabukid directly whether he intends to have a fun duel seriously. In other words, Judai is uncertain whether Kabukid just wants to entertain the audiences by creating the fun game, but he actually isn't with it. Kabukid looks slightly mad and replies that the persons who should enjoy are the audiences not himself. That's what a pro is for. Judai has realized Kabukid's thought clearly. If that's the case, he is very sure that he won't be defeated in this match.

The turn is now with Judai. He draws a card and gets Polymerization. The cards on his left hand are E-Hero Featherman, E-Hero Burst Lady, Feather Storm, and De-Fusion. He then plays Polymerization to fuse E-Hero Featherman and E-Hero Burst Lday into [E-Hero Flame Wingman - 6/2100/1200: This monster can be summoned only by fusion. When this Monster destroys a Monster as a result of Battle, do direct damage to your opponent equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster]. While Judai is going to let E-Hero Flame Wingman attack, Sakura blossom is swirling in front of him until he can see nothing. Kabukid laughs and explains the consequence of the field magic, Kabuki Stage - Sakurayama. It forces the opponent's monster to select a monster to attack randomly. E-Hero Flame Wingman jumps into Sakura Blossom, and it seems to catch up with Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl.

Battle Claw Kitsune
Monster Card

According to the special effect of Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl, when it becomes the attack target, Kabukid's LP can go up by 600 points. Therefore, his LP becomes 4600 (4000+600). Also, Kabukid activates the effect of Drum of the Fabled Curse equipped with Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl. When its equipped monster becomes the attack target, [Battle Claw Kitsune ~ Battle Claw - Kitsune - ?/800: {The Monster that battled with this card is destroyed at the End Phase of this turn.}] can special summoned from his deck onto the field in an attack position. Morever, E-Hero Flame Wingman is forced to change its target to this monster. Judai wonders whether Kabukid is kidding him. Although he changes the target monster, E-Hero Flame Wingman still has much higher attack points than any of them. The flame shoot of E-Hero Flame Wingman strikes Battle Claw Kitsune and burns it. This attack reduces Kabukid's LP to 3300 (4600+800-2100). Judai further claims the special of E-Hero Flame Wingman. Kabukid has to receive more direct damages equal to the attack points of Battle Claw. As a result, his LP finally decreases to 2500 (3300-800). Sho and Kenzan look so happy by the first successful counter of Judai.

[ Battle Claw Kitsune ]

"Kitsune" is normally called "magic Japanese foxes". In the story, it represents "Tadanobu" or a fox-man reputed to be one of Yoshitsune's retainers. Yoshitsune had to take flight that he left Shizuka in care of Tadanobu. In addition, the drum that Yoshitsune gave to Shizuka was made of fax skin. The story goes that the fox, which is actually the child of the vixen whose skin had been used to make the drum, took on the form of Tadanobu in order reclaim the relic of its mother. Due to this relationship between Tadanobu, which represents Kitsune, and the drum, anime presents this connection in form that the magic card "Drum of the Fabled Curse" can special summon "Battle Claw Kitsune".

Anyway, Kabuki explains the special effect of Battle Claw Kitsune that the monster that battled with it must be destroyed at the end of the turn. To let E-Hero Flame Wingman attack was just a trap. Sho then cheers Judai to keep it up. Before it's going to be destroyed, Judai decides to play the magic card to defuse E-Hero Flame Wingman into E-Hero Featherman and E-Hero Burst Lady. He next declares the attack of E-Hero Burst Lady. Repeatedly, E-Hero Burst Lady moves into swirling Sakura blossom to select the target randomly. It appears that E-Hero Burst Lady gets the same result as E-Hero Flame Wingman got. It catches up with Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl. Thus, Kabuki's LP first goes up to 3100 (2500+600) by the special effect of Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl. Later, Battle Claw Kitsune is special summoned from his deck due to the effect of Drum of the Fabled Curse. E-Hero Burst Lady is forced to attack Battle Claw Kitsune. When Battle Claw Kitsune is shot by the flame, Kabukid's LP decreases to 2700 (3100+800-1200). Kabukid isn't concerned whether he would lose LP. He is more glad that E-Hero Burst Lady will be destroyed at the end of this turn.

Judai feels sorry to E-Hero Burst Lady before declaring the third attack of E-Hero Featherman. Again, E-Hero Featherman moves into swirling Sakura blossom, and it can catch up with Armed Samurai - Ben Kei at this time. After the battle, Armed Samurai - Ben Kei is surely destroyed, and Kabukid's LP decreases to 2200 (2700+500-1000). Setting up a reversed card, Judai ends his turn. At this moment, Kabukid activates the special effect of Battle Claw Kitsune to destroy E-Hero Burst Lady at Judai's end phase.

The turn comes to Kabukid. He draws a card and plays it, Pot of Greed, to draw additional two cards. It's now time for the last stage that everybody has waited for. Sho and Kenzan wonder whether the stage can be changed and what it will be. Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon are very excited to the coming climax of the final stage. Anyway, it seemingly doesn't look fun for Judai at all.

According to the special effect of Kabuki Stage - Sakurayama, Kabukid discards it into his cemetery to special activate the third field magic [Kabuki Stage - Araumi ~ Kabuki Butai - Araumi - Field Magic: {When either player Normal Summons or Special Summons a Monster, they must Summon it in Attack Mode. Once per turn, a player can add 1 Level 5 or higher monster from their Deck into their hand. By sending this card to the Cemetery, you can search your Deck for 1 card with [Kabuki Stage] in its name and activate it. This effect can be used only once a turn.}] from his deck. It's the last stage for this Kabuki show. The scene is changed into rough sea. By its effect, Kabukid can place a level 5 or higher monster, Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord, from his deck onto his hand. Giving Shizuka the Heavenly Dancing Girl and Yoshitsune the Tengu Beauty on the field as tributes, he summons [Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord ~ Teiouryuu Ghengis - Ghun - 8/2800/2300] onto the field in an attack position. A golden dragon appears above Kabuki stage.

Kenzan thinks that the situation doesn't look good. Judai has only 1800 LP left. If Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord attacks E-Hero Featherman, he will be defeated immediately; his LP will become 0 (1800+1000-2800) exactly. As Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord is opening its mouth to attack, Judai activates his faced down trap card [Feather Storm - Trap: This card can only be activated when there Elemental Hero Featherman is on your field. Until the end of this turn, the ATK and DEF of all monsters on your opponent's side of the Field are switched with one another]. By its effect, the attack and defense points of all monsters on the field are switched. Therefore, Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord's points turn to be ATK2300 and DEF2800. There is no change in E-Hero Featherman's points because it has the same 1000 ATK and DEF points. Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord attacks and destroys E-Hero Featherman. Eventually, Judai's LP decreases to 500 (1800+1000-2300). Setting up a reversed card, Kabukid ends his turn.

Kabukid appearently prevails, so he asks where Judai's previous big mouth has gone. Judai has never remembered that he over said anything. He still insists his words. If Kabukid isn't to have fun with the duel seriously, Judai will surely win. Kabukid gets annoyed by that Judai's still talking about this. Judai doesn't care what Kabukid would like to explain. He repeats that he won't be defeated by the guy who isn't serious to enjoy the duel (or pretend that he enjoys the game). People wonder what Judai can catch up. Even Kabukid is curious where that feeling of Judai comes from. Judai thinks that it may be difficult to explain. He just feels that because Kabukid would merely like to be caught by the audiences' eyes, he doesn't utilize his monsters at their best shot specially when Shizuka was played. As a result, Judai assumes that Kabukid isn't serious in the duel, and he is sure that he will win. Kabukid thinks that It's fine if Judai wants to think like that. He, anyhow, tells him that he will show the real seriousness of a pro from now on. Judai gets very excited by that he's going to see the real play. Nevertheless, Sho and Kenzan are getting worried by that the pro will become really serious.

It's now Judai's turn. He draws a card and special summons [E-Hero Bubbleman - 4/800/1200: If this card is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it in attack mode. When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, Special Summoned, or Reverse Summoned when it is the only card on your Field, draw 2 cards from your deck] onto the field in an attack position. By its special effect, when it's the only card on the field, Judai can draw more two cards. Then, Judai activates the effect of the field magic Kabuki Stage - Araumi to select a level 5 or higher monster (It should be E-Hero Neos) from his deck onto his hand. He later plays the magic card [Miracle Fusion - Magic: Remove the Monsters determined by a Fusion Monster from your Field and/or Cemetery from the game, and Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck with E-HERO in its name. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.)] from his hand. Removing E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Flame Wingman in the cemetery from the game, he can special summon [E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman - 8/2500/2100: Increase this Monster's attack strength by 300 for each Monster with E-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] from his deck onto the field. The attack points of it can increase by 300 for each E-Hero monster in the graveyard. There are E-Hero Burst Lady and E-Hero Featherman remaining in his graveyard, so the attack points of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman become 3100 (2500+300*2).

[ Note ]

There is some anime mistake at this point. E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman's attack points don't include a part of E-Hero Wildman in the graveyard but count only parts of E-Hero Burst Lady and E-Hero Featherman. It should count E-Hero Wildman and boost up the attack points of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman to 3400 (2500+300*3) not 3100 (2500+300*2). However, it doesn't matter whether the attack points are 3400 or 3100. They are over 2800 attack points of Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord. It doesn't effect the duel process anyway. There seems no any stituation that might remove E-Hero Wildman from Judai's graveyard, so this should be considered some anime duel mistake.

Judai declares the battle of E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman against Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord immediately...Kabukid opens his reversed trap card [The Thousand Threads ~ Chisuji no Ito - Trap: This card can only be activated when monsters are in battle. Negate that attack and the ATK of all monsters on the Field become 0]. A lot of thread is launced to catch E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman, E-Hero Bubbleman, and even his own monster, Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord. It reduces the attack points of all monsters on the field to 0. Judai is gettting very very excited now, thinking that Kabukid is very great. However, he feels pity that it's a bit too late for him to become serious in the game.

Judai plays the magic card [Quick Summon ~ Sokkou Shoukan - Instant Magic: Normal Summon 1 Monster in your hand] from his hand. It allows him to sacrifice E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman and E-Hero Bubbleman on the field to normal summon [E-Hero Neos - 7/2500/2000] onto the field in an attack position. The Thousand Threads has already been activated, so it currently affects only Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord. In other words, E-Hero Neos can't be affect by The Thousand Threads because it isn't the permanent trap. Judai then declares the battle of E-Heos against Ghengis Ghun, the Dragon Lord that presently have 0 attack point. The dragon is destroyed as Kabukid's LP is reduced to 0 (2200+0-2500). His Kabuki wig is also blown away. Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon look pretty shocked by Kabukid's defeat. Judai seems to enjoy the duel pretty much. Vice Principal Napoleon then gets up and leaves quietly, looks sad to the result. Professor Chronos tells him to help cleaning, but Vice Principal Napoleon refuses so. Kenzan feels tired of his teachers. The student was trying his best until he won, but the teachers even didn't care to cheer or applaud. Sho is used to this since it's their ordinary act.

Judai walks into Kabukid to see how he is. Kabukid accepts that Judai is right. All the time, he felt desperate to entertain the audiences until he forgot how to enjoy the duel with himself. Anyway, in the final turn, he really enjoyed the duel from the bottom of his heart because of Judai. He thanks Judai for reminding him of this feeling. Kabukid says while giving Judai his medal. Judai tells him that he also enjoyed the duel, and it has nothing to deal with this medal. Kabukid asks whether Judai would like to quit the school and become a pro. Judai doesn't give any answer but laughs. Perhaps, he doesn't feel that he's ready. Then, Sho and Kenzan step in. Kenzan says that he would like to see Kabukid's play. Kabukid would love to do so, taking his wig up. He begins to cast his Kabuki speech, performing real Kabuki play in front of the three audiences, Judai, Sho, and Kenzan.

Sho He won!!

Chronos There's no such law saying it!
Sho Well, it's not something that happend just yesterday or today.
Kabukid It was just like you said Judai. I was concentrating so much on entertaining the audience so I forgot about enjoying duel myself. However, in last turn, my heart was glad. Thanks.
Judai I enjoyed as well. Let's duel for real once without betting these kinds of things.
Kabukid Will you become temporary academia pro or something?
