Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 132

Dawn of the Machines, known as "An Intense Fight!! Machine Emperor Wisel" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and thirty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.

Jack who has won against Lester, fights against Team New World's second wheeler, Primo.

Primo summons Meklord Emperor Wisel Infinity and attacks with it, while Jack, building on the momentum he's gathered, fights back with Red Nova Dragon, inflicting huge damage to Primo.

What follows is a fierce fight against each other where neither one will give the other an inch. However, after watching Primo use cards that were meant to be for Jakob (Infinity Barrage & Echo Mirror), Jakob convinces Primo to follow the original strategy.

In the end, when Primo's Life Points are reduced by a massive amount by Burning Strike, Primo sets 2 cards without countering (confusing everyone over how he wouldn't counter). Team 5D's notices that their strategy would have something to do Infinite Aura; Jack, after getting Yusei's message, tries to destroy it; but Primo goes as far as to disable all his Monsters to protect it, thus losing the Duel. Yusei now has a dark premonition of the future, knowing that there is no way Jack could have won against both Lester and Primo that easily.

Jakob then takes Primo's place, summoning the final Machine Emperor; Grannel. Their entire strategy becomes clear to everyone when Jakob uses Speed Spell - Take Over to get rid of Infinite Aura and gain 8000LP, thus giving Grannel 12000 ATK in total. It easily defeats Jack, and absorbs his Red Nova Dragon. Now Team 5D's must find a way to defeat this incredible Monster...
