Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 077

'''Here Comes! The Super Elite Transfer Student''' is the seventy-seventh episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

The episode begins with Yusei and Akiza practicing a Riding duel while Leo and Luna watch in the stands. Leo remarks how he wants to participate in a Riding Duel, but to his irritation Luna simply laughs at him.

Meanwhile, Placido, Luciano and Jose observe them from what appears to be a throne-like command center. Later, a new tablet crashes in the outskirts of New Domino City. Yusei and co. look in the direction of the crash, wondering what had happened. The tablet's arrival triggered Luciano to transfer to Duel Academy.

Luciano immediately becomes popular with his handsome looks and incredible duel skills. He becomes interested with Luna since she is a Signer, but Leo becomes suspicious (and also jealous)of him. One day Luciano takes Luna to his home, where he shows her his D-Board, a skateboard which enables even a child to be able to participate in Riding Duels. Leo, who had followed, watches Luciano give Luna his D-Board and goes and ask Yusei to build him one as well.

Leo practices handling the D-Board on his own, having numerous falls and tumbles, but then Luna appears and joins him. All of a sudden a disguised Luciano appears, challenging Luna to a Riding Duel, her D-Board acting on it's own and forcing her to engage. Leo immediately joins in the duel to help Luna, while Luciano simply laughs and accepts before activating Speed World 2.

Luciano was the first one able to attack, destroying Luna's monster. The impact sent her flying over the edge of the track, but Regulus appears and saves her. Leo summons a monster, but then Luciano activates a trap that swapped his monster with Sky Core, then activates Torrential Tribute which destroys all monsters on the field. He then activates Sky Core's ability to summon the 5 pieces of Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity.
