Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 118

The New Rivals is the one-hundredth and eighteenth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Episode summary::[[Yliaster's Three Emperors, using their powers to falsify history have entered the WRGP as the Duelists Team New World. Because this was not according to their expectations, Yusei and co. have to train even harder and realise they must win, no matter what it costs.]]

On a whim, Leo gets to know the team called Team Taiyo. Apparently they had come from the countryside of Japan to fight in the WRGP, this pooling what little money they had.

Though Team Taiyo had already been declared winners of their Preliminary Block and are to participate in the Tournament Finals, embarrassingly they have been left with only 1 functional Duel Runner due to the attack of the Diablo, which caused the others to breakdown.

And though Leo asks Yusei to repair their Duel Runners, Team Taiyo seems hesitant to become indebted to their rivals. Eventually Yusei is able to work on their machine, upgrading its power and speed by an impressive extent.

On the other hand, Jack, Crow and Aki go to watch the Exhibition Duel of Team Ragnarok, who wield the 3 Polar Gods of the Stars. Jack is chosen by Dragan as his opponent and the Duel commences.

Jack immediately summons Red Dragon Archfiend but Dragan uses his relentless attack as an opportunity to Synchro Summon his strongest monster, Polar God Thor.

The demonic dragon and the northern god clash, causing the sky to darken and the arena to tremble with the force of an earthquake. Hastily, Lazar interrupts the duel to avoid more damage.
