Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 052

"The Duel Coaster VS The Roaring Express" is the fifty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. It first aired in Japan on April 23, 2012.

Yuma Tsukumo, Anna Kozuki and Gauche vs. Fallguys: Wolf, Jackal, and Coyote
This Duel is conducted on the Duel Coaster in a Battle Royal-like style. This system allows a player to draw, summon monsters and perform the Battle Phase during their opponent's turn. However, players can only conduct a battle if they are on the same lane. Likewise, a player can change lanes to interrupt the duel.

Due to these new rules, the duel description of this episode is done based on which battles are being performed on each lane.

Duel continues from the previous episode.

The Duel begins with Wolf and Yuma on the same lane.
