EPISODE SUMMARY

In 20xx at Neo Domino City Satellite, Yusei is preparing to have a riding duel with [Sect] riding a Bug D-Wheel (Its tail looks like a bee). Both of them are standing by on pipelines in a large factory, and there are many audiences looking forward to their duel on nearby stages. Sect believes that today victory will come to him. He calls Yusei, "Big Brother Yusei!," and shows his respect to him. Yusei decides to take this riding duel on.

The audiences around the factory all cheer Yusei and doubt whether Sect's deck has improved because he received some rare cards from the Skeleton Knight according to an urban legend (This legend will be further described at the end of the episode). Sect sees the audiences are making fun of him and laughing. Yusei tells Sect not to be worried about them and just to have a riding duel as he usually has. Sect feels relieved when Big Brother Yusei said so.

When a duel starts, both takes off at full speed along pipelines. Sect is impressed by that D-Wheel of Big Brother Yusei is pretty fast as usual.

1st Turn - Yusei

Yusei draws a card and takes the first turn. He summons [Junk Blader - 4/1800/1000: Increase the attack power of this card by 400 for each "Junk" monster is your Graveyard] to the field in attack position and equips it with [Rusted Blade - Rust Edge ~ Sabita Tsurugi - Rust Edge - Equipment Spell: Increase the attack power of a Warrior-Type monster equipped by this card by 800. When the equipped monster is destroyed, inflict 800 damage to you opponent].

Rusted Blade - Rust Edge increases the ATK of Junk Blader by 800 points. Junk Blader now has 2600 ATK (1800+800). Sect is stunned by seeing a powerful monster with 2600 ATK in the first turn. Setting a face-down card, Yusei ends his turn. An audience yells into a duel, asking whether Sect really thinks to have Yusei as opponent for his goal. He would like Sect to give up now if he really thinks so. Sect is trembling. Anyway, he has made his effort in order to overcome Big Brother Yusei. Thus, he is going to show his strength today. Yusei smiles after seeing Sect's strong fighting spirit and tells him to bring it on.

2nd Turn - Sect

Sect draws and summons [Armored Bee - 4/1600/1200: Halve the attack power of an opponent's monster] to the field in attack position. He activates its monster effect, "Poison Needle!", to halve the attack power of Junk Blader to 1300 (2600/2). He then declares the attack of Armored Bee to destroy Junk Blader. This strike decreases Yusei's LP to 3700 (4000+1300-1600).

At this moment, Yusei activates the effect of Rusted Blade - Rust Edge. When the equipped monster is destroyed, 800 damage points must be inflicted to the opponent. Sect receives 800 damage points, and his LP drops to 3200 (4000-800). Yusei then opens his face-down trap card [Warrior's pride ~ Senshi No Hokori - Normal Trap: You can Special Summon a Warrior-Type monster destroyed by battle. In this turn, the Warrior-Type monster cannot be destroyed], which allows him to special summon Junk Blader destroyed in this turn to the field in attack position. Junk Blader won't be destroyed in this turn.

Sect smirks as he has been able to read through this, stunning Yusei very much. He activates [Dispute Over Territory ~ Nawabari - Normal Spell: When your opponent Special Summon a monster, Release all monsters you control and Special Summon an Insect-Type monster from your hand], which can be activated when an opponent summons a monster.

It allows him to release Armored Bee to special summon [Poseidon Giant Beetle ~ Poseidon Oukabuto - 7/2500/2300: When this card attacks a monster in attack position, it can attack up to 3 times] to the field in attack position. Sect calls that this is his ultimate insect. When Poseidon Giant Beetle attacks a monster in attack position, it can attack up to 3 times. Still in his battle phase, he declares the attack of Poseidon Giant Beetle, "Trident Spiral!", to strike Junk Blader for 3 times.

Junk Blader can't be destroyed in this turn by the effect of Warrior's pride, but Yusei still has to receive battle damage. The triple attacks reduce his LP to 1600 (3700-{1800-2500}*3). Yusei's D-Wheel spins by such an impact, and Sect now passes him. The audiences hardly believe it, and Yusei admires Sect. Sect feels pity that Junk Blader not able to be destroyed by this turn turns in vain. Yusei says that the winner is still him.

The audiences begin to turn to cheer Sect, expecting him to show them a surprise again. Sect feels good that he has a good crowd now. Yusei is glad that people are together with them. He encourages Sect to move onto the next decisive turn.

3rd Turn - Yusei

Yusei draws a card and includes his soul into this draw. Sect is looking forward whether his Poseidon Giant Beetle can be beaten. He is also getting excited what card Yusei gets. Yusei flips his card up and sees that what's waiting has come. It's a tuner monster, [Quick-Span Knight - 3/1000/800: When this card is used for a Synchro Summon, decrease the attack power of an opponent's monster by 500], and he summons it to the field in attack position. Seeing a tuner monster, Sect can expect what's coming.

Yusei tunes Quick-Span Knight into Junk Blader, synchro summoning [Lightning Warrior - 7/2400/1200: When this card destroys your opponent's monster, inflict 400 damage for each card on your hand to your opponent] to the field in attack position.

Sect calls that Poseidon Giant Beetle still has higher ATK. Yusei smiles and explains the monster effect of Quick-Span Knight in the graveyard. When this card is used for a synchro summon, it can decrease the ATK of an opponent's monster by 500. Thus, the ATK of Poseidon Giant Beetle is reduced to 2000 (2500-500).

Yusei next plays [Armed Regeneration ~ Busou Saisei - Normal Spell: Attach an Equipment Spell card in either your or your opponent's Graveyards to a monster on the field] to attach an equipment spell from either graveyard to a monster on the field. He decides to call back Rusted Blade - Rust Edge in his cemetery and equips it with Junk Blader. It increases Junk Blader's ATK to 3200 (2400+800). Sect is very stunned, but Yusei says that it hasn't been done yet.

Yusei plays [Overflowing Treasure ~ Minagiru Housatsu - Normal Spell: In a turn, increase the attack power of 1 monster you control by 500 for each card on your and your opponent's hands] to increase the ATK of Lightning Warrior by 500 for each on both sides'hands. There are 3 cards on Sect's hand and 1 card on Yusei's hand, so the ATK of Lightning Warrior is boosted up to 5200 (3200+4*500).

Yusei declares the attack of Lightning Warrior toward Poseidon Giant Beetle, speeding up to chase up Sect. The audiences doubt whether Yusei increases his speed so that he can enhance an impact of [Virtual Solid Feel]. Yusei tells Sect to receive his greatest feel as Lightning Warrior destroys Poseidon Giant Beetle. This strike reduces Sect's LP to 0 exactly (3200+2000-5200). Yusei becomes the winner of the game.

Duel End

Sect collapses to the floor and feels bad that he loses again to Big Brother Yusei. Yusei hands over Sect and calls that it's a nice riding duel. He sees that Sect has improved and accepts him to be his rival. Sect's eyes are full of tears as he is very impressed by that Big Brother Yusei accepts him as a rival. Both shake their hands.

Sect gains his fighting spirit back and plans to take revenge on Big Brother Yusei. He is standing on a tank, raising his 2 cards in the air over the sunset, and clasping them together, and praying that he will be given some rare cards to defeat Big Brother Yusei. Yusei asks a man nearby what Sect is doing. The man wonders whether Yusei doesn't know an urban legend. When a guy joins or clasps his cards together at sunset, a skeleton knight will appear and give him rare cards.

Everyone and Yusei see that Sect is now happy as Yusei accepts him to be his rival. Yusei smiles and doesn't say anything. Suddenly, the earth shakes. Some doubts whether the factory begins to work, but another notes that it isn't possible as the factory hasn't been used, Something moves closer to Sect and take him to a nearby giant altar. People are afraid of what's going on and begin to run away.

Yusei is surprised by seeing the altar that has never existed at this factory before. Lights at the top of the altar are lit up. A Skeleton Knight on a horse according to the urban legend finally appears, standing at the top of the altar. He comments that it is ridiculous that a loser like Sect asked him for a wish.

Unconscious Sect is hung at the tip of the Skeleton Night's spear and dropped to the floor. Yusei asks the Skeleton Night to return Sect. The Skeleton Night challenges Yusei into a duel if he would like him to grant his wish.
