"Steadfast Resolution!! Noboru Gongenzaka" is the twenty-fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. It first aired in Japan on September 28, 2014.

Featured Duel: Yuya Sakaki vs. Gong
At the start of the Duel, the Field Spell Card "Sword's Graveyard" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.

Turn 1: Gong

Gong Normal Summons "Superheavy Samurai Kageboshi" (500/1000). As it was Normal Summoned this turn, he activates its effect, letting him Tribute it to Special Summon a "Superheavy Samurai" monster from his hand. He Tributes it to Special Summon "Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei" (1000/3500) in Defense Position.

Turn 2: Yuya

Yuya draws "Performapal Silver Claw" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1800/700). He finds and activates the Action Card "Extreme Sword", increasing the ATK of a monster on the field by 1000 until the End Phase ("Silver Claw" 1800 → 2800). He then finds and activates the Action Card "Over Sword", which increases the ATK of a monster on the field by 500 for the Battle Phase only ("Silver Claw" 2800 → 3300), and prevents its attacks from being negated. "Silver Claw" attacks "Big Benkei", with its effect activating and increasing its ATK by 300 ("Silver Claw" 3300 → 3600) during damage calculation. Gong activates the effect of the "Superheavy Samurai Soulfire Suit" in his hand, sending it to the Graveyard to target a Level 5 or higher Defense Position "Superheavy Samurai" monster he controls. It cannot be destroyed by battle this turn, but its DEF is decreased by 800 ("Big Benkei" 3500 → 2700). Yuya Sets a card. Turn 3: Gong

Gong draws "Superheavy Samurai Horagai" and subsequently Normal Summons it (300/600). He then tunes the Level 2 Tuner monster "Horagai" with the Level 8 "Big Benkei" to Synchro Summon the Level 10 "Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo" (2400/3800) in Defense Position.
