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.

Summary
Mr. Heartland acts as a commentator for the Duel Coaster. He says the Fallguys waited for the late player, Yuma Tsukumo and that the three had used team play tactics to get through the preliminaries. Heartland says it will be a Duel the crowd will not want to take their eyes off of and then yells "heart burning!" Bronk yells for Yuma not to lose, while Cathy tells him to kyattobing. Vetrix giggles, saying he's looking forward to seeing how these bounty hunters will try to take Yuma down. He recalls the meeting he and Quinton had with them. Quinton had said they will pay them any amount they desire. Wolfsbane says that they've established a contract then and says they'll break him just as Vetrix wishes. Vetrix now says that breaking him isn't enough - he wants to see Yuma's true strength. The Fallguys begin changing lanes to assault Yuma by ramming him. With them blocking him from switching his own lane, he determines he has no choice but to fight. He Normal Summons "Gagaga Caesar" in Attack Position. He orders it to attack the "Magnet Saucer" in front of him. "Kaiser" dashes through the air while "Magnet Saucer" shoots laser blasts at him. "Kaiser" dodges and destroys "Saucer", dropping Jackal's Life Points to 3600. Yuma is excited, but Astral tells him this isn't the time to celebrate and instructs him to look at their monsters. "Magnet Eagle Delta" and the remaining "Magnet Saucer" have both gained 400 ATK. Yuma asks why that happened and Wolf explains that its the effects of the "Magnet" monsters. He tells him that when certain "Magnet" monsters are destroyed, the ATK of others increases. Coyote laughs and changes lanes so he's in front of Yuma and says the real fight begins now. He orders his own "Magnet Saucer" to attack "Gagaga Caesar", resulting in the destruction of both monsters. The ATK of "Eagle Delta" increases by 400 as a result, so Wolf attacks directly with it, reducing Yuma to 1000 Life Points. Wolf says that with that, the first battle has ended, so the ATK of "Eagle Delta" returns to its original value of 1200.

Vetrix seems surprised, saying that shouldn't be all of Yuma's strength and to show him more power. On another lane, Kite is confronting another finalist. He says he has no time to deal with those that don't possess "Numbers" and attacks his opponent directly with "Reverse Buster", defeating him. He says he will make both Vetrix and Quinton disappear when he gets to them. Dextra passes him in another lane and whispers for him not to push himself. Mr. Heartland says there are battles going on all over, but the most intense one is Yuma vs. the Fallguys. He asks if Yuma will become their sacrifice and yells "heart burning" again. Jackal and Coyote Normal Summon "Magnet Kong Epsilon" and "Magnet Crocodile Zeta", respectively. Tori says their monsters have surrounded them again and Yuma adds that even if he destroyed one by battle, the others will just get an ATK boost. Yuma is unsure what to do, but Astral suggests he plays the "Gogogo Golem" he has in his hand, as it isn't destroyed by battle once per turn when its in Defense Position. Yuma says he could try to change lanes after the second attack as well. He Normal Summons "Gogogo Golem" in Defense Position. Wolf says the second battle begins now and Coyote orders "Crocodile Zeta" to attack with "Croco Attack". It is not destroyed, so Jackal tells "Kong Epsilon" to attack with "Kong Punch". "Gogogo Golem" is destroyed and Astral yells for Yuma to change lanes now before the third attack is declared. Coyote says they knew he would try that. He and Jackal both change lanes, blocking Yuma from doing the same on both sides. Astral says this is the team play of the Fallguys. Wolf says Yuma's Life Points are only 1000 and the ATK of "Eagle Delta" is 1200 - if the attack goes through, Jackal says they'll fulfill their agreement with Vetrix and Coyote adds that the big reward will be theirs. Yuma doesn't know what to do and Wolf says its over, ordering "Eagle Delta" to attack. A horn sounds as "Rocket Arrow Express" roars onto the field, nearly crushing "Eagle Delta". A cloaked Duelist changes lanes and ends up between Yuma and Wolf. Yuma asks who it is and the figure says that a 3 vs. 1 Duel is very unfair. She takes off the cloak, revealing herself to be Anna. She gives Yuma a thumbs-up and says she'll help him out.

Yuma and Tori recall when Anna tried to kill them and Yuma asks why she's here. She says they'll talk later and orders "Rocket Arrow" to attack. Wolf is dumbfounded, as "Rocket Arrow" has 5000 ATK. Coyote changes lanes, interposing himself between Wolf and Anna and saying he'll take this one. Wolf changes lanes and "Rocket Arrow" destroys "Crocodile Zeta", dropping Coyote's Life Points to to 600. The ATKs of "Eagle Delta" and "Kong Epsilon" both rise by 400. Yuma says Anna saved him, but recalls her saying she hadn't entered the World Duel Carnival. She says men shouldn't worry about small details like that. "Rocket Arrow" suddenly explodes and Tori and Yuma question why - no one attacked. Astral says that "Rocket Arrow" destroys itself after battling unless the controller sends five cards from their hand to the Graveyard. Yuma asks how Anna could forget a detail like that and she again tells him not to worry about details. Coyote asks what they're talking about and activates "Magnet Reborn", which lets him pay 500 Life Points to Special Summon a "Magnet" monster from his Graveyard. "Crocodile Zeta" reappears and attacks Anna directly, with Yuma telling her to run away. She changes lanes and ends up behind Wolf, who calls her annoying and says they'll take care of her first. Yuma yells that Anna hit a Draw Point, so she can draw. She does so and Normal Summons "Courageous Locomotive Brave Poppo" in Attack Position. Wolf activates "Magnet Fusion" and explains that he can Tribute "Eagle Delta", "Kong Epsilon" and "Crocodile Zeta" to Fusion Summon "Super-Electromagnetic Dragon - Magnedragon". It appears in Attack Position, roaring. Anna is surprised at its 3500 ATK as Wolf smirks. Tori says Anna is in trouble and Yuma says that this time, he'll save her. He Normal Summons "Bull Blader" in Attack Position and tells Anna to wait for him as he changes over to her lane. Jackal changes lanes first, landing right in front of Yuma and saying he won't allow that. Tori says there's another place they can change lanes ahead. Jackal says he won't let that happen and draws. He Normal Summons "Magnet Bang Doll", while Coyote draws and Normal Summons "Magnet Jammer". Wolf orders "Magnedragon" to attack "Brave Poppo" with "Magnet Imperial". "Brave Poppo" is destroyed and Wolf explains that the effect of "Magnedragon" can inflict damage to the destroyed monster's controller if it destroys a monster by battle. Between that effect and the Battle Damage, Anna's Life Points fall to 500.

Tori says that Anna will lose if this continues. Astral says they are surrounded on all sides, but Yuma says he'll open a path. He attacks and destroys "Bang Doll" with "Bull Blader", dropping Jackal to 3000 Life Points. Jackal explains that the effect of "Bang Doll" inflicts 200 damage when its destroyed, so Yuma's Life Points fall to 800. Then Jackal activates "Magnet Reborn", paying 500 Life Points to revive "Magnet Bang Doll". Jackal tells them to bring it on and that they'll continue to deplete Yuma's Life Points. Yuma says if they keep doing this, their Life Points will hit 0 as well. Jackal says they are fine with that and Coyote says they are a team - it doesn't matter if he and Jackal are defeated as long as Wolf remains. Wolf says they'll get a huge reward for defeating him. Yuma and Astral are both surprised. Wolf says they don't care for victory, only money. Yuma asks who hired them and Wolf responds with "who knows?" while Coyote and Jackal laugh. Anna draws "Strong-Arm Limited Express - Trolley Rolley" and remarks that this is the only monster she can Summon. She says it can't be helped and does so in Defense Position. Wolf says a DEF of 1000 can't defend her against "Magnedragon". Yuma orders "Bull Blader" to attack "Bang Doll", dropping Jackal to 1900 and Yuma to 600, the latter via the destroyed monster's effect. Jackal says they can't break their formation and Coyote adds that Wolf will defeat Anna now. Wolf says this the end and begins to order an attack with "Magnedragon". Nistro storms in on Yuma's lane, saying Yuma isn't looking too good. He orders the "Heroic Challenger - Spartan" he controls to attack "Magnet Jammer". Everyone is shocked to see yet another Duelist get involved and Coyote activates the effect of "Jammer", returning it to his hand and "Spartan" to Nistro's. Nistro calls that a weak play and tells Yuma he'll take care of Coyote. Yuma thanks him and says he'll surely pay him back later. He changes lanes and says that he'll pay back Anna right now. He orders "Bull Blader" to attack. Wolf asks if he's an idiot - "Bull Blader" has 1600 ATK and "Magnedragon" has 3500. Yuma says he can defeat it - "Bull Blader" has an effect that negates the Battle Damage and destroys the opponent's monster. Wolf changes lanes in response. Anna tells Yuma not to do stupid things and asks if he really thought Wolf would have defeated her. Tori says they were just trying to help and Anna asks if they forgot that she helped them first. Yuma thanks her and Anna blushes, saying she didn't want to be praised. Tori asks why she's so happy.

Wolf says they are underestimating the Fallguys and that they will break Yuma yet. He says they will negate the effect of "Bull Blader" first and orders "final formation!". Jackal and Coyote both respond with "Roger!" and proceed to draw and Normal Summon "Magnet Chameleon" in Attack Position. Wolf changes to Yuma's lane and explains that as long one "Magnet Chameleon" remains in Attack Position, the effect of the other will negate the effect of "Bull Blader". Nistro asks if they really thought he would let that happen. He draws and Normal Summons "Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword" in Attack Position. Nistro announces that Yuma will not become their prey and orders "Extra Sword" to attack and destroy Coyote's "Magnet Chameleon". Coyote's Life Points fall to 0 and he's ejected from his coaster via parachute. Wolf curses and Anna says Wolf is her target. Nistro changes lanes and appears behind Anna, saying he'll lend a hand here too. Yuma says that even if all three of them are in one lane, only Yuma can attack him since he's closest to him. Astral points out that this lane has three Level 4 monsters on it. Astral says they should gather their feelings into one and Yuma overlays his "Bull Blader" with Anna's "Trolleyrolley" and Nistro's "Extra Sword" to Xyz Summon "One-Eyed Skill Gainer" in Attack Position. Wolf points out that it has only 2500 ATK - not enough to beat "Magnedragon". Nistro laughs and explains that when "Extra Sword" is used an Overlay Unit for a Warrior-Type Xyz Monster, that monster gains 1000 ATK. Anna says that "Trolleyrolley" can do the same for any Type of monster by 800. The ATK of "Skill Gainer" rises to 4300. Astral tells him to activate its effect and Yuma does so by detaching an Overlay Unit. "Skill Gainer" can copy the effect of "Magnedragon". Wolf says that isn't good - he'll lose via One Turn Kill if Yuma attacks. Yuma says this is the power of his friends and Jackal changes lanes, appearing between Wolf and Yuma. He says that big brother Wolf won't be defeated as "Skill Gainer" destroys "Magnet Chameleon", dropping Jackal's Life Points to zero and ejecting him from the Duel. Wolf is furious, but peels off by changing lanes. Anna calls him a coward and yells for him to come back. Nistro says its all right - they've won.

Mr. Heartland continues his commentary, saying that it's wonderful - Yuma gathered the power of his friends to defeat the Fallguys. The crowd loudly cheers. Wolf curses and smashes the console of his coaster with his fist three times. He says he won't forgive them. Nistro says Anna isn't a real finalist then, as she had just explained that she took another finalist's place. Tori says that's something that Flip would do. Anna says it can't be helped and blushes, saying she really wanted to meet Yuma again. Nistro interrupts her as he sees Wolf speeding directly towards them in Yuma's lane. Wolf says he'll take revenge for Coyote and Jackal. Nistro says this doesn't look good and Wolf activates "Direct Magnet". He explains that by halving both his Life Points and the ATK of "Magnedragon", this card will let it attack directly. His Life Points fall to 2000. Anna leaps from her coaster and lands on the front of Yuma's. She Special Summons "Construction Train Signal Red", explaining she can do so in Attack Position when a direct attack is declared. It will become the new attack target. "Signal Red" is destroyed and Anna falls from the coaster as her Life Points hit zero. Yuma yells her name, but Anna's cannon deploys itself in flight mode and she lands on it safely. Wolf is furious and says he'll try a real direct attack. He speeds his coaster up in order to ram them but Yuma orders "Skill Gainer" to attack "Magnedragon" with "Dark Blade"

Wolf loses and his coaster is dropped down as he flies off in the parachute just before it impacts Yuma's coaster. Anna, flying on her cannon next to them, says that Yuma did it. Yuma thanks her again and Anna says she believes in him and tells him not to lose. They both smile and Anna flies off. Vetrix says he now understands - Yuma's true strength is his friendship and bonds. Heartland says that the Park Section of the Duel Coaster has come to an end. The surviving Duelists will now head into the underground section. Yuma vows to win and yells "kattobingu".

Coyote vs. Anna & Jackal and Wolf vs. Yuma

Coyote activates "Magnet Reborn", paying 500 Life Points (Coyote 600 → 100) to Special Summon a "Magnet" monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Crocodile Zeta" (1600/1200) in Attack Position. He attacks Anna directly, but she changes lanes to the same one that Wolf is in. Anna draws and then Normal Summons "Courageous Locomotive Brave Poppo" (2400/???). Wolf activates "Magnet Fusion", Tributing "Eagle Delta", "Kong Epsilon" and "Crocodile Zeta" to Fusion Summon "Super-Electromagnetic Dragon - Magnedragon" (3500/1500) in Attack Position.

Coyote activates the effect of "Jammer", returning both monsters to their owner's hands. Yuma changes lanes and attacks "Mangedragon" with "Bull Blader" as the latter card can reduce Battle Damage to 0 and destroy the monster it battles. Wolf changes lanes to avoid this.

Anna, Nistro and Yuma vs. Jackal and Wolf

Since, at this point of the Duel, Nistro, Anna and Yuma are in the same lane, Yuma is able to overlay his "Bull Blader" with Anna's "Trolley Rolley" and Nistro's "Extra Sword" to Xyz Summon "One-Eyed Skill Gainer" in Attack Position. The effect of "Trolley Loco" increases the Summoned Xyz Monster's ATK by 800, while the effect of "Extra Sword" increases it by 1000 as it is a Warrior-Type (2500 → 4300/2600). Yuma activates the effect of "Skill Gainer", detaching an Overlay Unit to allow him to give "Skill Gainer" the effect of "Magnedragon".

"Magnedragon" attacks Yuma directly. Anna changes lanes by jumping from her coaster to Yuma's. She activates the effect of the "Construction Train Signal Red" in her hand, Special Summoning it (1000/1000) in Attack Position as an opponent declared a direct attack. It becomes the new attack target and is destroyed (Anna 500 → 0). 15 Duelists Remain.
