Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 048

"The Wounded Falcon" is the forty-eighth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. It first aired in Japan on March 22, 2015.

Summary
In the LID Center Court, Nico Smiley narrates that today is the Youth Class finals; You Show Duel School's Tate vs Leo Institute of Dueling's Riley Akaba. Nico encourages both Duelists to do their best and aim for first place. Ally warns Tate to be careful, since Riley uses Fusion. Frederick adds that there's a chance that Riley could use Synchro too. Tate mentally agrees; Riley is a fearsome opponent who uses multiple Summoning methods. He looks at his "Performachine Gadget Giant" card, thinking that he's got his own trump card. He looks up at Riley, who looks shyly away. Skip Boyle states that he wants Tate to win, but he also wants to know what's going on with Zuzu and Yuya. Yoko muses that she heard Aura mentioning Yuya's name when she was talking to Reed. She wonders if this could mean…and Skip asks her what she means. Yoko asks if this means that Reed has made dinner for the others, and she calls it nice and unfair, prompting the local crowd to react in shock. Meanwhile, Riley looks around the arena and flinches when he sees his mother up in the main box. After a stern look from Henrietta, he looks at Tate determinedly.

In the Ancient Ruins temple, Sora yells that this is the end, and he declares his Battle Phase, ordering "Frightfur Tiger" to attack "Force Strix", and with a demented shriek, he orders "Tiger" to send Shay…this Xyz remnant to his grave. Selena gasps in shock to hear Shay's name, as "Tiger" grabs "Force Strix" and violently beheads it. The shockwave blasts Shay off his feet and he yells in shock as he falls past the shocked Selena, down the temple steps, and finally hits the ground, his LP falling to zero as Selena looks on in horror. Selena runs down the steps of the temple towards Shay as Sora walks out of the temple, commenting in satisfaction that it looks like he's won this time. Selena reaches Shay and she attempts to help him up, but Shay groans in agony and clutches his ribs. Selena gasps that these are horrible injuries. Sora sighs in annoyance, calling Selena "Zuzu" and telling her to get out of the way, since Shay is the prey that he's hunted. Selena gets up, turns, and she activates her Duel Disk, causing Sora to realize who she is once he notices that it's an Academy Disk. Selena activates a Spell Card, "Lunar Eclipse", shrouding her field in darkness. Sora charges into the cloud, yelling at Selena to wait.

In the Volcano Area, Selena and Shay flee along a lava river, but Shay falters and he falls to his knees, clutching his injured ribs. Selena turns to help him, asking him if he's okay, but then Sora walks up, asking if Selena can let him finish Shay off, since Selena will only get hurt too. Selena scowls, but the duo are saved by the appearance of Hikage and Tsukikage, who speed in between them and Sora. Sora charges forwards, and Hikage moves to meet him. Tsukikage turns to Selena and Shay, telling them that now it's their chance, and Selena helps Shay up and follows him. Sora irritably comments that Hikage is in his way and Hikage replies that that's why he's here. They clash Duel Disks, and then they begin a Duel.

Selena asks Tsukikage why they're helping her. Tsukikage replies that once they take up a mission, they will stake their life to complete it; that is one of the guidelines of their Fuma clan. In the Leo Corporation observation room, Declan muses that Selena is an important asset for negotiating with Duel Academy, and comments to Claude that she must be protected. He asks how many enemies are left, and Claude explains that they have confirmed the presence of four, including Sora Perse.

Yuya and Gong reach the Ancient Ruins Temple, yelling Zuzu's name, but she isn't there either, and Yuya desperately wonders where she could have gone.

In the Iceberg Area, Reed and Teppei have found the unconscious Aura, and Reed gently shakes her, trying to wake her up, but she doesn't respond. Teppei comments that they don't need to worry about Reed since she isn't part of the Battle Royal, but Reed reminds him that leaving Aura here would be dangerous due to the other Duelists that have invaded. He asks Teppei to get her to a safe place, and Teppei protests at being forced into helping too.

Dennis and the three remaining Obelisk Force watch Selena, Shay, and Tsukikage departing from behind a rock. Dennis points Selena out to them, and wishes them luck. The red-jeweled member asks if Dennis isn't coming, and Dennis explains that that would be an issue given the number of security cameras in the area. As Selena helps Shay along as they follow Tsukikage, the Obelisk Force step up behind them, the green-jeweled member asking her to please not resist. The red-jeweled one explains that they've been tasked with bringing her back. Selena tells them that they'll have to take her by force, but to her surprise, Shay and Tsukikage step forwards to defend her. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force declares that they leave them no choice. The Obelisk Force all activate their Duel Disks, and Shay, Selena, and Tsukikage do likewise, Tsukikage activating a left-handed one. All six Duelists yell, "Duel!"

Sora Summons "Edge Imp Saw", commenting that he's gotta make this one quick. Hikage replies that he won't let that happen.

Shay moves to take the first turn, but Tsukikage replies that he shall initiate. He declares his turn and Summons "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu" from his hand, before Setting three cards to end his turn.

The red-jeweled Obelisk Force steps forwards, declaring his turn. He draws and Summons "Ancient Gear Hound Dog", and activates its effect; once per turn, when his opponent controls a monster, he can inflict 600 damage to his opponent. He declares "Hound Flame", and "Hound Dog" launches a gout of flames. Tsukikage responds with a Continuous Trap Card, "Barrier Ninjitsu Art of Hazy Extinguishing", which negates all effect damage that is 800 or less since he controls a "Ninja" monster. A shield of smoke forms over Tsukikage and protects him from the flame. Undeterred, the Obelisk Force activates "Polymerization", fusing the "Hound Dog" on his field with the other two in his hand. He chants, "Mechanized hounds who carry on the ancient souls, flock together and become one with new power! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!" He declares his Battle Phase, but Tsukikage interrupts him, activating the Continuous Trap Card, "Barrier Ninjitsu Art of Gathering Shadows" since he controls a "Ninja" monster. By paying half of his LP, he can end the Battle Phase. A whirlwind surrounds him, reducing his LP to 2000. Shay objects, but Tsukikage points out that the payment is nothing compared to Shay's injuries. The red-jeweled Obelisk Force Sets two cards and ends his turn.

Facing Sora, Hikage activates the Spell Card, "Ninjitsu Art of Hazy Duplication", allowing him to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "Ninja" monster from his hand, and he Special Summons "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu".

The green-jeweled Obelisk Force declares a Fusion Summon, calling out his own "Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog". He declares his Battle Phase, but Tsukikage uses the effect of "Barrier Ninjitsu Art of Gathering Shadows" again, paying half his LP to end the Battle Phase. His LP falls to 1000 as the whirlwind surrounds him, and the green-jeweled Obelisk Force Sets three cards, sulkily ending his turn.

Hikage Tributes "Shingetsu" to Tribute Summon "Twilight Ninja Chunin - Nichirin", which appears with 2300 ATK. Sora just smiles.

The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force declares his own Fusion Summon, calling out another "Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog", and he too declares his Battle Phase, but is blocked by the effect of "Barrier Ninjitsu Art of Gathering Shadows". Tsukikage falls to 500 LP as the whirlwind surrounds him, and he falls to one knee. Cursing, the yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force Sets three cards of his own and ends his turn. Selena asks Tsukikage why he's going so far. Tsukikage explains that it is all according to plan; his brother Hikage fends off the intruders with the brilliance of the sun, while Tsukikage, like the moon, protected them and stalled the enemy.

Shay states that that means all that's left is his turn then, and he steps forwards, but Selena steps forwards as well, and she declares her turn. She draws, and then she activates "Polymerization", fusing "Moon-Light Blue Cat" and "Moon-Light Purple Butterfly", chanting, "Blue cat that prowls through the darkness! Butterfly with violet poison! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Appear and come forth! Beautiful beast that dances in the moonlight! Moon-Light Cat Dancer!" Dennis watches from behind a rock, thinking that of course Selena would use Academy-style Fusion. Then he sees Reed and Teppei, who is carrying Aura, sneaking around behind the Duel and backing back into hiding to avoid being spotted. Reed observes that the Obelisk Force must be the enemy from Duel Academy that Yuya mentioned, and Teppei groans that they were trying to take Aura to safety, but instead ended up in the most dangerous place.

Selena activates the Spell Card, "Moonlight Perfume", Special Summoning a "Moon-Light" monster from her Graveyard. She Special Summons "Blue Cat", which activates its effect to double the ATK of a "Moon-Light" monster that she controls, so she targets "Cat Dancer", increasing its ATK to 4800.

Sora fuses "Edge Imp Saw" and "Fluffal Leo", chanting, "Steel blades possessed by demons. Become one with the fanged beast and reveal your new form and power! Fusion Summon! Show yourself! King of beasts that tears everything to pieces! Frightfur Leo!" Yuya and Gong run through a passage, and they come out on the other side of the river of lava from Sora, Yuya yelling Sora's name. Sora turns in shock to see Yuya, and then he sighs, before looking at Hikage hungrily.

Selena activates the effect of "Cat Dancer", Tributing a "Moon-Light" monster in order to allow it to attack all monsters her opponent controls twice each. She Tributes "Blue Cat", and "Cat Dancer's" sashes glow bright blue. Selena declares her Battle Phase, attacking with "Cat Dancer". The red-jeweled Obelisk Force explains that that won't happen, and he activates a Trap Card, "Fusion Dispersal", much to Selena's shock. The Trap returns an attacking Fusion Monster to the Extra Deck and ends the Battle Phase, and then returns its Fusion Materials to the field in Attack Position, before finally inflicting damage equal to the ATK of the Fusion Material with the higher ATK. Selena gasps as the 1600 ATK of "Blue Cat" is dealt to her, blasting her backwards and reducing her to 2400 LP. The red-jeweled Obelisk Force comments that it's too bad, but they fully comprehend Selena's Deck. Behind their rock, Reed urges Teppei to help them. Teppei protests, since even if they fight the Obelisk Force they won't get any Pendulum Cards. Reed protests that their friends are in a pinch. Teppei thoughtfully agrees that they could use their power to turn a pinch into a reversal, but then he snaps and calls Reed an idiot, saying that that's not happening.

Sora begins to advance on Hikage, who slowly backs away, as Yuya yells his name. He asks what he's doing, why is he turning the people that he defeats into cards? Gong warns Sora that that cannot be forgiven. Yuya yells at Sora to look at him, and Sora irritably tells him to wait since he's about to finish Hikage off. Yuya snarls at Sora to stop messing around, and he charges at him, but Gong restrains him, telling not to be stupid. Then he gasps to see Selena, thinking that she's Zuzu, and tells Yuya to look. Yuya gasps Zuzu's name as Selena ends her turn in frustration. Shay steps forwards.

Reed yells, "Let's go!" and charges out of hiding. Teppei begs him not to, but Reed takes up a spot beside Tsukikage, telling the Obelisk Force that they're facing them now. Teppei leaves Aura in hiding and resignedly follows him out, and they both activate their Duel Disks. But as soon as they do, a message reads "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP", much to their confusion. Then the two of them are struck by lightning, reducing them to 2000 LP each as Teppei complains that they haven't even done anything yet.

Staggering, Reed steps forwards and draws to begin his turn. He activates the Spell Card, "Instant Cooking", allowing him to Special Summon "Royal Cookpals" from his hand whose Levels are lower than the total Levels of all monsters his opponent controls. With the three "Triple Bite Hound Dogs" having a total of twenty-one Levels, Reed brings out "Royal Cookpal Knight Pasta", "Royal Cookpal Queen Omelette" and "Royal Cookpal King Burger". Setting a card, Reed ends his prep work. The green-jeweled Obelisk Force comments that no matter how many of them come out, they can't compete with the Obelisk Force.

Reed replies that he'd prefer it if the Obelisk Force stop underestimating them, and he asks Teppei if he agrees, slapping his shoulder and sending him stumbling forwards. Teppei panics since he's drawn, but then he chuckles, activating the Continuous Spell Card, "Inland Sea", which lowers the Level of all WATER monsters by 1. This allows him to Normal Summon "The Legendary Fisherman" as a Level 4 monster. Then, by sending "The Legendary Fisherman" to the Graveyard, he can Special Summon "The Legendary Fisherman III". Teppei chants, "Be reborn with a legend of the ages, the Legendary Fisherman III!" He activates the effect of "The Legendary Fisherman III" since it was Special Summoned, allowing him to banish any number of monsters his opponent controls. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force gasps in shock, and Teppei declares that he'll get all three of them in one big catch, as "The Legendary Fisherman III" snatches the three "Triple Bite Hound Dogs" up in its net. Reed congratulates Teppei, and activates his Trap Card, "Monster Pie". Since he controls a "Cookpal" monster and monsters his opponent controls have left the field, he can Special Summon a Monster Pie Token for each one to his opponent's side of the field. A Monster Pie Token appears above each of the Obelisk Force, much to their shock, and then Reed activates the effects of each of his "Royal Cookpals" since a monster was Summoned or Special Summoned, returning them to the hand and then destroying a monster for each card returned. The three Tokens explode, and Teppei tells the Obelisk Force to take this effect on top of it. He explains that by returning the banished monsters to the Graveyard, the effect of "The Legendary Fisherman III" will double effect damage that they deal. Reed then explains that the Monster Pie Tokens will each inflict 1000 damage when destroyed, and with the damage doubled, each of the Obelisk Force will take 2000 damage. All three of the Obelisk Force are struck by lightning and fall to 2000 LP. Reed comments to Teppei that they're the best combination, aren't they? Teppei agrees, calling Reed "partner".

But the green-jeweled Obelisk Force laughs, claiming that Reed and Teppei's strongest combination has led them to the worst ending. He activates all three of his Set Continuous Trap Cards; "Ancient Gear Reborn", "Ancient Gear Spark Shot" and "Ancient Gear Booster". The effect of "Reborn" first revives "Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" from the Graveyard and increases its ATK by 200, to 2000. Next, the effect of "Ancient Gear Spark Shot" will inflict damage to his opponent equal to half the ATK of the revived monster, and finally, the damage will be doubled by "Ancient Gear Booster". The Obelisk Force declares, "Ancient Revive Howling", and "Triple Bite Hound Dog" blasts a surge of yellow light from its mouths, blasting Reed into the wall and reducing his LP to zero. Teppei screams, "Reed!" in horror as the energy fades, and Reed slumps to the ground from the impact crater. Selena gasps in horror, and Teppei whispers, "Reed", again, and the green-jeweled Obelisk Force snickers, commenting that they shouldn't have interfered. He raises his Duel Disk, and Yuya realizes what's about to happen, yelling at the Obelisk Force to stop. But they do not heed his words; three beams of purple light shine from the Obelisk Force's Duel Disk, and a card containing Reed flutters to the ground.

Yuya whispers Reed's name, and Gong yells that Zuzu is in trouble, so he'll go. He sprints off, and Yuya turns to Sora, telling him to stop this already; why is he doing something this horrible. Sora snarls that Yuya is annoying, and Yuya's eyes begin to glow red.

The yellow-jeweled Obelisk tells Teppei that he's next, activating his own "Ancient Gear Reborn" and "Ancient Gear Booster", reviving his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" with its ATK boosted to 2000. This triggers the effect of "Ancient Gear Spark Shot", inflicting half of its ATK to Teppei, and the yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force's own "Booster" doubles the damage to 2000. Teppei shrieks as the second "Triple Bite Hound Dog" breathes a surge of yellow light, knocking him down and reducing his LP to zero. Teppei looks up to see Reed's card, and he asks in bemusement what Reed is doing as a card. Purple light envelops him as he dazedly points out that they were supposed to be the strongest combination. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force tosses the card containing Teppei beside Reed's, telling them that they can be a combo as cards for all eternity.

The sight further enrages Yuya, his hair standing on end, and darkness beginning to surround his body. Hikage's foot hits the edge of the river of lava; preventing him from going further. Sora comments that they're done here. He activates the effect of "Frightfur Leo", destroying a monster that Hikage controls to inflict damage equal to its ATK. "Frightfur Leo" blasts its blades from its mane, destroying "Nichirin" and reducing Hikage's LP to zero. Hikage yells in regret as he explodes into purple light, the card containing him carelessly tossed aside. Something inside Yuya snaps, and he screams in agony as the darkness intensifies, falling to his knees and groaning. He grits his teeth and he writhes in pain; his eyes seeing the smile on Sora's face as Sora walks away, and Yuya looks aside to see the struggling Selena. He sees the Knight of Duels students, Reed, Teppei and Hikage all falling towards a vortex, and finally he howls in agony as the darkness takes hold, leaping over the river of lava and screaming Sora's name in fury.

The red-jeweled Obelisk Force declares that Tsukikage is next. He activates his own face-down "Ancient Gear Reborn" to revive his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and increase its ATK by 200. Then the green-jeweled Obelisk Force reapplies the effect of "Ancient Gear Spark Shot" inflicts half its ATK – more than enough to finish Tsukikage off. The third "Triple Bite Hound Dog" is revived and it blasts it "Ancient Revive Howling" attack at Tsukikakge. As the blast surges towards Tsukikage, the Ninjitsu Duelist closes his eyes quietly, ready to face his fate. A voice yells out at the Obelisk Force to hold it right there, and Sylvio steps forwards and activates the Action Spell, "Flame Guard", reducing effect damage to zero. Sylvio declares that now that he's here, they'll have the strength of a hundred more. He explains that Declan Akaba filled him in on the situation; but then his Duel Disk declares "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 points". Sylvio is confused, and then he is struck down by lightning, screeching that Declan didn't fill him in about this. He hits the ground hard, but struggles up, claiming that he'll show them why he's the strongest man from LID.

Sora turns to see Yuya standing before him, the darkness shrouding his body. Yuya snarls that Sora is wrong, though Sora barely reacts. Yuya suddenly remembers Yuto's words telling him to bring smiles with Dueling, and the calms down, the darkness fading. He tells Sora to Duel him, and Sora agrees, casually commenting that he doesn't like the idea of having a losing streak against Yuya anyway. He gestures to a nearby cave, suggesting that they Duel where they won't be interrupted, and Yuya follows him in. They face off on opposite ends of a bridge over a river of lava, and Yuya vows to bring Sora's true smile back with Dueling. They both yell, "DUEL!"

Turn 1: Tsukikage Tsukikage Normal Summons and Sets three cards.

Turn 2: Red Red Normal Summons. As his opponent controls a monster, he activates the effect of "Hound Dog", inflicting 600 damage to the opponent. Tsukikage activates his face-down "Barrier Ninjitsu Art of Hazy Extinguishing", allowing him to reduce any effect damage lower than or equal to 800 to 0, since he controls a "Ninja" monster. Red activates "Polymerization", fusing the "Hound Dog" on his field with two more copies from his hand to Fusion Summon in Attack Position. Tsukikage activates his face-down "Barrier Ninjitsu Art of Gathering Shadows", since he controls a "Ninja" monster. It allows him to end his opponent's Battle Phase, by paying half of his Life Points (Tsukikage: 4000 → 2000 LP). Red Sets two cards.

An unknown amount of time is skipped.

Turn 5: Selena Selena draws and subsequently activates "Polymerization", fusing "Moon-Light Blue Cat" and "Moon-Light Purple Butterfly" from her hand to Fusion Summon in Attack Position. She then activates "Moonlight Perfume", allowing her to Special Summon a "Moon-Light" monster from her Graveyard. She Special Summons. Since "Blue Cat" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing her to double the ATK of a "Moon-Light" monster she controls until the end of this turn. Selena targets "Cat Dancer" ("Cat Dancer": 2400 → 4800/2000). She then activates the effect of "Cat Dancer", letting her Tribute a "Moon-Light" monster to allow it to attack each monster her opponent controls twice each this turn, but the attacked monsters cannot be destroyed by battle during the first attack on each of them. She Tributes "Blue Cat". "Cat Dancer" attacks Red's "Triple Bite Hound Dog". Red activates his face-down card "Fusion Dispersal", since his opponent's Fusion Monster declared an attack. He can return that attacking monster to the Extra Deck, end the Battle Phase, Special Summon all the Fusion Materials that were used for its Fusion Summon from the Graveyard to his opponent's side of the field then inflict damage to his opponent equal to the ATK of the Fusion Material monster with the highest ATK. "Cat Dancer" is returned to the Extra Deck and and  are Special Summoned on Selena's field (Selena: 4000 → 2400 LP).

At this moment, Reed and Teppei interfere with the Duel by joining it, thus they receive a penalty of 2000 LP (Reed: 4000 → 2000 LP; Teppei: 4000 → 2000 LP).

Turn 6: Reed Reed activates "Instant Cooking", allowing him to Special Summon as many "Royal Cookmate" monsters as possible from his hand whose Levels are less than or equal to the total Levels of all monsters his opponent controls. He Special Summons, and  from his hand. He Sets a card.

Turn 7: Teppei Teppei activates "Inland Sea", since there is a face-up card in the Field Zone. The current Field Spell Card is now treated as "Umi". This allows him to reduce the Level of all WATER monsters in his hand and on his side of the field by 1. Teppei Normal Summons as a Level 4 ( 5 → 4) monster. He then Tributes it to Special Summon from his hand. Since it was Special Summoned using its effect, he can banish any number of monsters his opponent controls. He banishes all of the Obelisk Force's monsters. Reed activates his face-down "Monster Pie", since his opponent's monster(s) left the field and he controls a "Cookmate" monster. He can Special Summon a to each of his opponent's side of the field for each of those monsters. Reed activates the effects of his three "Royal Cookmate" monsters, returning them to his hand to destroy the three "Monster Pie Tokens". Since a "Monster Pie Token" was destroyed, the other effect of "Monster Pie" inflicts 1000 damage to the Obelisk Force. Teppei activates the other effect of "The Legendary Fisherman III", since his opponents are taking effect damage, by returning all cards banished by its effect to the Graveyard, he can double that effect damage (Red: 4000 → 2000 LP, Green: 4000 → 2000 LP, Yellow: 4000 → 2000 LP). Green activates three face-down cards - "Ancient Gear Reborn", "Ancient Gear Spark Shot" and "Ancient Gear Booster". As he controls no monsters, "Reborn" lets him Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster from his Graveyard that was sent there this turn and increase its original ATK by 200. He Summons. Since an "Ancient Gear" monster was Special Summoned from the Graveyard while he controlled no monsters, the effect of "Spark Shot" lets him inflict damage to his opponent equal to half the ATK of the Special Summoned monster. Since an "Ancient Gear" card is inflicting damage, the effect of "Booster" then doubles that damage. Green inflicts the damage to Reed (Reed: 2000 → 0 LP). Yellow activates his own face-down "Ancient Gear Reborn" and "Ancient Gear Booster", while using the effect of Green's "Spark Shot", Special Summoning his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and inflicting 2000 damage to Teppei (Teppei: 2000 → 0 LP). Red activates his own face-down "Ancient Gear Reborn", while using the effect of Green's "Spark Shot", Special Summoning his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and inflicting 1000 damage to Tsukikage, but Sylvio activates the Action Card "Flame Guard", reducing the effect damage to 0. Since he wasn't part of the Duel and interfered, Sylvio receives a penalty of 2000 LP (Sylvio: 4000 → 2000 LP).
