Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 132

"My Body as a Shield! Durbe’s Final Vow!" is the one-hundred and thirty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. It first aired in Japan on December 8, 2013.

Summary
Vector declares that's its time for the shocking truth. Using his Ray voice, he reveals that it was he who killed Nasch and Merag when they were in the Barian World. Dumon mutters Merag's name, while Merag herself screams "VECTOR!" as blue energy swirls around here. She tells him she'll slice every last one of his Life Points away this turn. Vector tells her to try if she really can, reminding her that if he even has one left, it will all be dealt to her as damage. He adds that he's quivering at having the chance send her to Hell again. Dumon tells Vector to be silent and says he cannot let his deeds go unpunished after such a betrayal, his fist clenching in anger. Merag tells Dumon she'll send Vector to Hell no matter what it may take. Dumon seems to realize what Merag has in mind as she activates "Distortion Crystal". She explains that as she controls a WATER monster, any modifications to the ATK of opponent's monsters will be doubled this turn. She then activates "Zero Blade", which will reduce the ATK of "Number 43: Soul Marionetter" by 1000. The two cards merge into one and then fire a blue beam at "Soul Marionetter", the end result being a decrease in ATK of 2000, to 1500. Vector tells her she should just die, but Merag says she is not done yet. She activates the effect of "Number C103: Ragna Infinity", detaching an Chaos Overlay Unit to deal damage to Vector equal to the change in his monster's ATK. Vector yells, "WHAT!?", while Merag declares "Guidance to Purgatory" and "Ragna Infinity" shoots a pink beam from its scythe, which blasts Vector backwards. As he struggles to rise to his feet, he comments that she has some nerve, but reminds her that one battle with "Soul Marionetter" won't take away the rest of his Life Points. She asks if he's sure about that and reveals that "Zero Blade" will also allow "Ragna Infinity" to attack twice this turn. Vector yells "WHAT!?" again and Merag asks Vector to let her repay him for he did to she and Nasch. She says the first strike is for her and orders "Ranga Infinity" to attack. It twirls its scythe around before throwing it, severing the puppet strings connecting "Number 96: Dark Mist" to "Soul Marioentter" and reducing Vector to 700 Life Points as he flies backwards again. As "Dark Mist" reforms and the strings reappear, Merag remarks that "Soul Marionetter" can't be destroyed by battle if it has a "Number" equipped, but Vector will still take damage. She declares she can attack again and that this is the end for Vector, adding that this second strike is for Nasch. The scythe rips into "Soul Marionetter" itself this time, but Vector activates his face-down "Damage Pot", which negates the damage done. As "Dark Mist" reforms again, "Damage Pot" takes in the blast, laughing.

Dumon is surprised he managed to absorb the damage, while Vector chuckles that she wasn't able to get rid of all of his Life Points and proceeds to declare the effect of "Don Thousand's Throne". He floats in the pink sphere again as his Life Points are restored and Nasch screams in pain, his energy being drained. Vector thanks Nasch for the tune-up. His Life Points at 4000, he reminds them that the effect of "Soul Marionetter" will increase its ATK by the Life Points he gained and inflict that damage to his opponent's Life Points. He asks if he should send her to Hell now. Laughing, he begins to activate the effect, but Don Thousand tells him to stop. Thousand says that if they change the ATK, the effect of "Ragna Infinity" will cause them to take damage too. Vector points out it would only do 3300 damage, but Thousand asks if he forgot that "Distortion Crystal" will double that. Merag asks him what's wrong - isn't he going to use the effect? She adds he must have realized that she was the one that was about to send him to Hell. Vector tells she would still take the damage too. She responds that that was her intent. Dumon comments that he was right - she intends to tie the Duel. She angrily states once again that she will do whatever it takes to send Vector to Hell. Vector cancels the effect activation and Merag quips that his invincible combo was broken - no matter how much he claims to be a God, even his power has limits. Vector tells her to shut up, adding that they are just a couple of bugs who don't realize their place. Merag says he's just making excuses and ends her turn. Vector is irate that she's just toying with him like this. Using Ray's voice again, he says its time for another round of the shocking truth. A screen materializes it front of Dumon and Merag, through which they can see Nasch's predicament. Vector boasts he used that oaf Girag to trap him. Enraged, Dumon calls Vector an "odious cur", but asks why he's doing this. Vector tells them to take a good look at Nasch. As the two look closer, their eyes widen. Vector asks if they understand yet - Nasch is down in the dumps, but Vector is walking on cloud nine. He quips that to keep restoring his Life Points as he has been, he had to take the energy from somewhere. Floored, Dumon says this can't be and calls Vector a fiend. Vector is surprised they've only just realized what was happening - its really them that have been slowly killing Nasch.

The Different Dimension Airship had entered "Sargasso the D.D. Battlefield" when Girag attacked it. Standing atop "Number 106: Giant Hand", he asks if Alito has really stabbed them in the back and joined with the enemy. He adds that Alito would have to be a fool to defy Don Thousand. Yuma tries to explain that Girag has been tricked, with Tori adding that Don Thousand has modified his memory. Girag tells them not to even attempt to trick him with such lies. He boasts that he'll take their rotten souls, squish them together and then eat them himself. Yuma tries to continue, but Alito advises him not to even bother. He determines they'll have to break Don Thousand's curse the same way Yuma did with Alito himself. Astral agrees - they have no choice but to use the "Number" from Girag's ruins to destroy the "Over-Hundred Number" and break the spell. Yuma says they'll have to Duel then, but Alito insists that he be the one to do it. Alito stares at "Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus" and says that after losing his Barian powers, he can't use his "Over Hundred Number" anymore. Even so, he insists he must Duel - Girag is his best friend. He recalls how they bonded after Alito arrived on Earth. Yuma says he understands, but adds he'll need the "Number" then. He digs through his Deck box and hands Alito a card, explaining its from Girag's ruins. Alito thanks him and Astral wishes Alito luck. Tori asks Alito to make sure he wins. Alito turns towards Girag, suggesting they Duel. Girag claims he'll enjoy eating the soul of this traitor and Barian Battlemorphs, his D-Pad appearing on his arm. Alito vows to turn him back to normal no matter what it takes. He can no longer Battlemorph himself, but his D-Pad appears and one of his eyes glow a dark red. Alito goes first and Normal Summons "Battlin' Boxer Big Bandage" before Setting two cards. Girag tells Alito to come at him. He draws and Don Thousand's Emblem emanates out from him with a shriek. Merag stares in disbelief at the display, shocked that their attacks have been harming her brother. Nasch's eye twitches in pain, while Merag falls to her knees, unsure of what to do. Dumon mutters her name, but then turns to Vector. He asks to know why he's being such a lowly coward. Laughing enthusiastically, Vector responds its because he just loves to see them suffer. Dumon wonders if even Vector's soul is nothing but a rotten mire. Dumon draws and activates "Rank-Up-Magic The Seventh One", Ranking Up "Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry" and performing a Chaos Xyz Evolution to Special Summon "Number C102: Fallen Seraph - Noble Archfiend in Attack Position. Dumon boasts he'll defeat Vector with a single attack, win the Duel and save Nasch. Nasch hangs his head and mutters Dumon's name.

Dumon activates the effect of the "Holy Rage" in his Graveyard, banishing it to increase the ATK of "Noble Archfiend" by 2000, to 4900. Vector points out that's still not enough for a victory, but Dumon tells him he's not done yet. He activates the effect of "Noble Archfiend", explaining he can detach a Chaos Overlay Unit to negate the effects of a monster and decrease its ATK to 0. "Noble Archfiend" shatters its Chaos Overlay Unit with its lance and then spins it around, firing a red burst of light at "Soul Marionetter", who recoils as its ATK falls to 0. Vector once again yells "WHAT!?". Dumon continues that he'll take 4900 damage with this strike, now. Dumon adds that Vector should feel relieved though - Dumon will be coming with him to hell to ensure that he stays there. Vector asks what he means and Dumon clarifies that "Holy Rage" will cause the Battle Damage to be inflicted to him as well. Merag mutters his name in concern, while Vector is shocked that he also plans to end this in a draw. Dumon orders "Noble Archfiend" to attack "Soul Marionetter", saying he and Vector will go to Hell together. "Noble Archfiend" throws its lance, from which emerges two small demons. The lance becomes energy and the demons return to it as it gets closer to "Soul Marionetter". Don Thousand appears and says "now, Vector!", prompting Vector to activate his face-down "Evil 1". The attack hits and Vector explains his card's effect as he's blasted across the chamber again. This will prevent the destruction of his monster and change the damage to his current Life Points -1, no matter how much damage he would have taken. Dumon grunts in pain as he's taken backwards as well due to "Holy Rage". Vector mutters that that was way too close - any closer and they'd both be in Hell right now. Dumon mutters that its just like Vector to have a card like that. Vector quips that it sucks to be Dumon, then and asks why he hasn't ended his turn yet. Hanging his head, Dumon does so and the ATK of "Noble Archfiend" returns to normal. Vector declares the effect of "Don Thousand's Throne" and Dumon and Merag watch on as Nasch's energy is drained and Vector's Life Points return to 4000. Vector tells them that's what they get for all their hard work. Thousand asks if he had "Evil 1" Set just for this purpose. Vector confirms it, but says he didn't expect he'd need to use it.

Back at the Airship, Girag brings out "Number C106: Giant Red Hand". Alito remarks that Girag dropped his ace quite quickly. Girag clarifies that he isn't done and Normal Summons "Fire Hand". It appears above him and from its arm socket emerges another hand, which grasps his shoulder and causes electricity to crackle. Girag grunts, but Special Summons "Prominence Hand" from his hand, explaining he can do so when he controls a FIRE monster. It grasps his other shoulder, causing the same results. Girag overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 58: Burner Viser" in Attack Position. Astral remarks that he can feel Don Thousand's power coming from that "Number". Yuma gasps and Astral adds that it'll make the curse over Girag even stronger. Girag activates the effect of "Burner Viser", detaching both Overlay Units to equip it to "Giant Red Hand". The massive hand grasps the ball that it is "Burner Viser" and rears upward. Girag reveals that the monster equipped with "Burner Viser" can attack directly. Girag tells Alito that this will be the end for him. Back at the other Duel, Vector draws and then activates the second effect of "Evil 1", sending it to the Graveyard to target and destroy any card on the field. Using his Ray voice again, Vector adds that he can't battle the turn he uses this effect. He wonders what card he should destroy, looking from "Noble Archfiend" to "Ragna Infinity" as Dumon and Merag simply stare. Vector finally decides to destroy his own "Damage Pot". Merag asks why he'd destroy his own Trap Card and Vector clarifies that when it leaves the field, the damage it absorbed is inflicted to all players. Cracks form around the pot and it begins to shine as Vector reminds them that it sucked up 1300 damage earlier - so all players will take that damage now. He tells them both to have a fun trip to Hell, adding that he'll be just fine. Switching to his Ray voice again, he calls them "worms" and tells them good-bye. Dumon looks at Merag, muttering to himself as the pot explodes. Dumon activates his face-down "Saint Shield", which reduces the damage to 0. A shrinking blue Sphere Field forms around the explosion and vanishes. Dumon reveals that the effect will also increase the ATK of a Fairy-Type monster by the combined damage that was prevented. He chooses "Ragna Infinity", so its ATK becomes 6700. Merag is ecstatic and tells Dumon that with ATK like that, they'll win during her next turn.

Dumon looks away from her and simply remarks "farewell". Merag asks what he means. Dumon says that at the end of this turn, "Saint Shield" will direct all the damage that was negated back to him. Merag asks why he'd do this, while Vector laughs. Dumon apologizes to Merag for being unable to defeat Vector, calling her "milady". She says his name his concern. Dumon says that she and Nasch were the two most important people in the world to him and he's happy he was able to meet them as both a human and a Barian. He tells Merag to be sure to beat Vector, while Vector ends his turn. A yellow energy blast hits him and he's taken off his feet, the chamber's flooring flying in chunks as he reverts to his human form. Merag screams his name, but he again remarks he was glad to have met her and Nasch. His body glows with pink energy and he finally vanishes. Nasch screams his name, while Merag reaches her hand towards where he stood. The energy of his soul gathers in a ball and floats towards Merag. At the Airship, Girag declares his direct attack with "Giant Red Hand". A fiery tornado streams towards Alito, who screams and falls to the ground, his Life Points at 1400. Tori covers her eyes, while Alito says he's not down for the count yet. Girag laughs and boasts that he's not seen the worst of "Burner Viser" yet. Its effect lets him discard a card from his hand to inflict 500 damage to Alito. He discards "Ice Hand", so another fiery tornado streams towards Alito. Yuma screams his name as it hits him before he's even managed to get to his feet. His Life Points fall to 900, but now Girag discards "Reload", inflicting another 500 damage. Girag laughs and adds that Alito should keep singing with those wonderful screams. Tori urges Girag to stop - this is too cruel. Girag says this is the end and discards "The Judgement Hand". Yuma screams Alito's name and Tori covers her mouth in horror. Managing to sit up, Alito activates his face-down "Hyper Burning", which will let him halve his Life Points to reduce the damage to 0. Electricity crackles and his Life Points fall to 200, but a bubble shield protects him from the final fiery tornado. Girag yells "WHAT!?", while Alito jumps to his feet and yells that he'll show Girag a true burning heart - one that can burn even the hottest flame. Red energy emanates out from him, prompting Girag to cover his eyes. Astral remarks that even without his Barian powers, Alito is putting up a true fight. Yuma tells him he's the coolest, while Alito draws his card.

Tears streaming down her face, Merag clasps Dumon's soul to her chest, saying she understands why he did this. With the power he died to give her, she'll be able to win. Getting to her feet, she points at Vector and tells him to prepare himself. Vector laughs, but Merag reminds him that "Ragna Infinity" has 6700 ATK now - and the effects of "Soul Marionetter" are still negated and its ATK is still 0. Vector's eye twitches and he recoils a bit. Merag draws and immediately orders her attack, yelling that she'll rip his Life Points to shreds with this strike. "Ragna Infinity" throws its scythe, and "Soul Marionetter" is engulfed in a explosion. Merag tells Dumon she's won - and she could have only done so thanks to the power he gave her. But as the smoke clears, Vector's laugh rings out derisively.

Merag and Dumon vs. Vector
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 5: Merag

Merag activates "Distortion Crystal". As she controls a WATER monster, whenever the ATK of an opponent's monster is changed this turn, the value it is changed by will be doubled. She then activates "Zero Blade", which reduces the ATK of a monster her opponent controls by 1000. "Number 43: Soul Marionetter" loses 1000 ATK, doubled to 2000 via "Distortion Crystal" (3500 → 1500). As the ATK of an opponent's monster was changed, Merag activates the effect of "Number C103: Ragna Infinity", detaching a Chaos Overlay Unit to inflict damage to the opponent equal to the value it was changed by (Vector 4000 → 2000). The effect of "Zero Blade" also allows "Ragna Infinity" to attack twice this turn. "Ragna Infinity" attacks "Soul Marionetter" (Vector 2000 → 700), who is not destroyed by battle via its own effect as it is equipped with a "Number" monster. "Ragna Infinity" attacks "Soul Marionetter" again, but Vector activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Damage Pot", preventing the Battle Damage that both players would take. "Soul Marionetter" is once again not destroyed as it is equipped with a "Number". At the End Phase, the effect of "Don Thousand's Throne" activates, increasing Vector's Life Points by the damage he took this turn (Vector 700 → 4000).

Turn 6: Dumon

Dumon activates "Rank-Up-Magic The Seventh One", Ranking Up "Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry" and performing a Chaos Xyz Evolution to Special Summon "Number C102: Fallen Seraph - Noble Archfiend" (2900/2400) in Attack Position. Dumon activates the effect of the "Holy Rage" in his Graveyard, banishing it to increase the ATK of a monster he controls by 2000 ("Noble Archfiend 2900 → 4900) until the End Phase. However, the Battle Damage taken from battles involving it this turn will be inflicted to him as well. Dumon activates the effect of "Noble Archfiend", detaching a Chaos Overlay Unit to reduce the ATK of "Soul Marionetter" to 0 (1500 → 0) and negate its effects. "Noble Archfiend" attacks "Soul Marionetter", but Vector activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Evil 1", preventing the destruction of "Soul Marionetter" by battle and making the Battle Damage become equal to his current Life Points -1 (Vector 4000 → 1, Dumon 4000 → 1). At the End Phase, the effect of "Don Thousand's Throne" increases Vector's Life Points by the damage he took this turn (Vector 1 → 4000).

Turn 7: Vector

Vector activates the effect of "Evil 1", sending it to the Graveyard to destroy any card on the field at the expense of skipping this turn's Battle Phase. He chooses "Damage Pot", whose effect activates when it leaves the field. The damage that was reduced upon its activation (1300) is now inflicted to all players. Dumon activates his face-down "Saint Shield" as a Trap Card would inflict damage, reducing the damage to 0 and increasing the ATK of a Fairy-Type monster on the field equal to the total damage that would have been inflicted to all players ("Ragna Infinity" 2800 → 6700), but at the End Phase, Dumon will take damage equal to that value (Dumon 1 → 0).

Turn 8: Merag

"Ragna Infinity" attacks "Soul Marionetter".

Duel concludes in the next episode.

Alito vs. Girag
Turn 1: Alito

Alito Normal Summons "Battlin' Boxer Big Bandage" (1100/???) and Sets two cards.

Turn 2: Girag

The start of the turn is skipped, but Girag Special Summons "Number C106: Giant Red Hand" (2600/2000) in Attack Position with one Chaos Overlay Unit. Girag Normal Summons "Fire Hand" (1600/1000) and as he controls a Pyro-Type monster, Special Summons "Prominence Hand" (600/2000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Girag overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 58: Burner Viser" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. Girag activates the effect of "Burner Viser", detaching both Overlay Units to equip it to "Giant Red Hand". The equipped monster can attack directly. It does so now (Alito 4000 → 1400). The effect of "Burner Viser" also lets him discard any number of cards when the equipped monster inflicts Battle Damage, inflicting 500 damage for each discarded card. He discards "Ice Hand" (Alito 1400 → 900), "Reload" (Alito 900 → 400) and "The Judgement Hand". Alito activates his face-down "Hyper Burning" as his Life Points would be reduced to 0; he can pay half his Life Points (Alito 400 → 200) to reduce the damage to 0.

Duel continues in the next episode.
