Battle 179: Go With All of Your Power!
The other Bakura is waiting for Malik when he arrives at the
Aquarium. They have a long long about the Millennium Items.
Bakura's true interest in the Millennium Items is revealed once
he has all of the Items, an enormous power, demonic in nature,
will be his. Malik remarks to himself that Bakura has no idea
what he is getting into. Bakura senses that Malik is hiding
something.
Malik proposes a deal. Since Malik's only interest in Yuugi is
killing him for the death of his father, he tells Bakura that he
will give him all of the Items once Battle City is over, if
Bakura helps him in his plan. Malik gives Bakura five minutes to
think about it.
Inside of the Aquarium, Ryouta has just used the "Tidal Wave" on
Jounouchi. Ryouta is angry for having to fight such a crappy
duelist. Jounouchi places a card. Ryouta attacks, and Jounouchi
activates the "Pit Trap" Trap card. Unfortunately, the Pit Trap
doesn't work on monsters that can fly, like Ryouta's Flying Fish.
(J's LP: 3200).
Ryouta places a card, then scolds Jounouchi for only playing with
half of his skill. "Whatever opponent I battle, I fight will all
of my strength!"
Jounouchi understands, and makes the vow, starting then. He
summons a "Wyvern Warrior" (4/1500/1200), and places two cards.
Ryouta sacrifices the "Flying Fish" and summons a "Fisher Beast"
(6/2400/2000). He attacks the Wyvern Warrior, but Jounouchi
activates the "Monster Box" Trap, hiding his Wyvern in a machine
like the "Wack-A-Moles" game. Ryouta then responds by activating
the "Sea" Magic card, filling the field with water. Seeing the
air bubbles from one of the holes of the Monster Box, the Fisher
Beast attacks. Jounouchi then activates the "Demon's Roll" Trap,
dividing the Beast's Attack by 4. The Beast is destroyed (R's
LP: 3100). Ryouta smiles, and says to himself, "Heh, heh! He
did it!"
Battle 180: Two Who Fear the Sea!
Jounouchi has just destroyed the Fisher Beast. Ryouta is simply
waiting for the right time to unleash his newest tactic, "Sea
Stealth II".
Jounouchi draws a "Fusion" Magic card. Anzu wonders why
Jounouchi hasn't attacked, but Sugoroku tells her that
Jounouchi's Warrior and Animal Warrior monsters can't cross the
"Sea" field card.
He plays a "Baby Dragon" and "Fusion", turning the Dragon and
Wyvern into "Dragon-Riding Wyvern" (1700/1500). It field across
the field and attacks Ryouta directly (R's LP: 1400). (EDO'S
NOTE: I think that there is a mistake here. Fusion monsters
aren't supposed to be able to attack during the turn that they
are fused in the Battle City Tournament.)
Ryouta has a flashback of he (younger) and his father as they
were fishing. Ryouta quickly plays two cards, and ends his turn.
Jounouchi can't see what he played. He is also trying to figure
out Ryouta's tactics, being reminded the Duel Kingdom battle with
Yuugi.
Jounouchi attacks with the Wyvern, but Ryouta activates the
"Tornado Wall" permanent Trap, protecting him from Jounouchi's
attack. Ryouta quickly plays another card that Jounouchi can't
see. Jounouchi attacks again, but Ryouta activates the Tornado
Wall card again. Jounouchi thinks that Ryouta has no monsters,
but suddenly his Wyvern is destroyed (J's LP: 2850). Jounouchi
can't see where the attack is coming from. Jounouchi plays a
"Little Winguard" (4/1400/1800) in Defense mode. Ryouta's turn
comes, and Jounouchi watches the water for the attack. The
Winguard is destroyed, and Jounouchi still can't see where the
attack is coming from.
Jounouchi places a card, then summons a "Rocket Soldier"
(4/1500/1300) in Defense mode. During Ryouta's turn, he
sacrifices two of his monsters, and summons a "Fortress Whale"
(7/2350/2150).
Outside, Malik tells Bakura that his time is up, and wants his
answer. Bakura pulls out a knife and licks the blade, saying
"This is my answer."
Battle 181: Water Capture!!
Bakura laughs loudly as he cuts open his arm, and drops the knife
into the water. They both agree to the terms, and Bakura
collapses.
Inside the Aquarium, Ryouta comments on the fierce power of the
ocean. Jounouchi says the he has at least one monster to protect
him from the Whale's attack, but suddenly his Soldier is
destroyed by the unseen enemy, and the Whale attack him directly
(J's LP: 300).
Jounouchi thinks about where the unseen monster can be attacking
from. It's not in the water. However, the Killer Whale in the
pool adjacent to their battle leaps into the air from the tank.
Jounouchi the realizes. He draws a card, then places two of
them. He then summons a "Panther Warrior" (4/2000/1600).
Ryouta summons a "Sea Snake" (4/1500/1200) in Defense mode.
Ryouta is about to attack. He waits, then when the Killer Whale
jumps out of the tank, Jounouchi activates his "Magic Arm
Shield", grabbing the "Legendary Fisherman" (4/1850/1600) that
had been hiding in the tank. The Whale destroys the Fisherman
(R's LP: 900). The Panther Warrior is about to be drowned by the
attack, but Jounouchi activates the "Chained Boomerang" Trap.
The chain wraps itself around the horn of the whale, and the
Panther leaps on top of it.
Battle 182: Warrior's Gamble!
Ryouta tells Jounouchi that the Whale's attack (2550) is still
greater than the Panther's (2500). Jounouchi orders the Panther
to attack. It stabs the Whale, but the Whale spins around,
throwing the Panther off. However, the Panther's sword is still
stuck in the Whale's hide. Jounouchi then activates the
"Lightning Sword" Magic card. A bolt of lightning drops from the
sky, destroying the Whale and all of Ryouta's other monsters (R's
LP: 150).
Ryouta plays "Restore Life", putting a monster of his into play
in Attack mode (hidden by the sea). Jounouchi draws, and plays
the "Cyclone" Magic card, removing the Sea from play, revealing
that Ryouta had revived the "Legendary Fisherman". Ryouta tells
himself "This is the only card... I can't leave it in the
Cemetery..." Jounouchi attacks and destroys the Fisherman (R's
LP: 0).
Battle 183: The Duel Motive!
Jounouchi demands to know why Ryouta didn't bring the Whale back
into play. Ryouta says that he lost, so it doesn't really
matter. Jounouchi tells him that it does. Whenever Ryouta plays
the Sea, he always uses the "Legendary Fisherman", as it reminds
him of his father. Ryouta says, "I still believe... That my dad
is living somewhere out on the sea... So... I can't leave it in
the Cemetery..." He tells him that since he lost, he doesn't
have a need for such things anymore. Jounouchi tells him that he
is wrong about that. "If we have the heart of a Duelist, we can
always fight if we have something to believe in."
Ryouta tells him that the Fisherman's level and statistics aren't
high by Battle City standards, but it is his most precious card,
and that he is giving it to Jounouchi. He truly doesn't need the
card anymore, because he will always be fighting with his father
in spirit. Jounouchi gains his final puzzle card and the
Legendary Fisherman and Fortress Whale cards.
Malik is waiting outside, and it's time for the acting to begin.
Jounouchi and company exit the Aquarium, Malik is there, helping
Bakura to walk. Bakura is confused, as he doesn't know why he is
there, or why his arm is wounded. To men appear, one of them the
owner of the Duel Disk that the other Bakura stole. They knock
Malik down, but Jounouchi makes short work of the both of them.
Sugoroku takes Bakura to the hospital. Malik introduces himself
as "Namu". As all of them are walking away, Malik gets a message
from one of the members of the tag duel (the one that Seto and
Yugi fought immediately after the Pantomime Duel). He says that
they could not defeat the holder of a God card. Malik says to
not worry, as two other Rare Hunters have decks to seal the God
cards.
Battle 184: Death-Duel Area!
Two figures watch Yugi and Seto walk through the streets. Yugi
asks Seto why he wants the god cards. He responds that he will
then be the best duelist in the world.
Mokuba calls Seto, telling him that Jounouchi has been found at
the Domino Shipyards. Yugi tells him that he will only fight
Seto after they get there to help Jounouchi.
As they walk, one of the figures makes his way down the building
by jumping from place to place. He carries a large lock-like
device. As Seto nears his hiding place, he jumps out and
attaches it to his Duel Disk. He tells them that someone has the
key. He points to the roof, where the other figure is holding
out a key. The smaller figure goes back to the roof the same way
that he came down.
On the roof, they meet "Light Mask" (the smaller one), and "Dark
Mask" (the taller one). Dark Mask gives Seto the key to unlock
his disk. Light Mask explains the rules. The duel will be a two
on two Tag Duel. The glass panes that they are standing on each
have a bomb has been attached to them. If a player's LP drops to
0, the bomb detonates, destroying the glass and sending the
losers down thirty floor drop to their death. Likewise, if they
make too many sudden movements (like trying to get off of the
glass), the bomb will detonate.
Battle 185: God, Help Me!
Light Mask starts with placing two cards. Yugi summons Magnet
Warrior Beta (4/1700/1600) in Defense mode, commenting that all
players cannot attack during their first turn. Dark Mask summons
"Shine Abyss" (4/1600/1800) in Defense mode. Light Mask then
activates a Magic Card "Mask of Atrocity", increase Abyss' Attack
to 2300. Seto places a card, then summons "Blood Vols"
(4/1900/1200).
Light Mask draws, then places "Mask of Powerlessness" on Beta,
preventing it from attacking, or evening protecting its player,
and doing 500 damage to the monster's player during each of his
or her turns. He then places a card.
Yugi loses 500 LP (Y's LP: 3500), and draws "Dark Magic Gilfar
Demon" (6/2200/2500). Yugi is about to sacrifice, when Light
Mask activates the "Sacrifice-Sealing Mask", preventing Yugi and
Seto from sacrificing to summon monsters. Yugi plays a Kuribo in
Defense mode, and ends his turn.
Dark Mask attacks Seto's Vols, but Seto activates the
"Destruction Ring" Trap card. Light Mask counters by activating
"Cursed Reflection", sending the Ring on Seto's Vols. It is
destroyed, and Seto loses 1900 LP (S's LP: 2100). Shine Abyss
finishes its attack, but Yugi activates the "Multiplication"
Magic card, guarding Seto from Dark Mask's attack.
Battle 186: Monster of Unity!
Yugi tells Seto that they cannot win unless they play as a team,
rather than try to win by themselves.
Seto draws a Blue Eyes White Dragon, but cannot summon it due to
the Sacrifice-Sealing Mask. He places a card, then summons
"Gadget Soldier" (4/1800/2000) in Defense mode.
Light Mask plays "Mask of Loss", destroying the effect of
Multiplication, and doing 300 damage to its owner during each of
his or her turns. He summons "Cursed Gyura" (4/1500/800) and
destroys the Kuribo.
Yugi's turn comes next, and he loses 800 LP (Y's LP: 2700). He
doesn't see a way out of this, when Seto does a brilliant move of
kibitzing.
SETO: Heh, heh, heh... What's wrong, Yugi? It doesn't look like
you have a level four or less monster card in your hand...
It doesn't look like you can play a monster card this
turn...
If we can't sacrifice to summon, we'll have to get them
from the Cemetery...
Yugi realizes what he means, and by that, which card that he has
placed. Yugi places a card, then ends his turn.
Dark Mask places "Masked Beast Ritual", sacrificing the Cursed
Gyura and Abyss to summon "Masked Hellraiser" (Attack 3200).
Yugi doesn't have a monster in play, so Dark Mask attacks him.
Seto throws his Gadget Soldier in the way.
Seto's turn comes up, and Yugi activates the "Hand Obliteration"
Magic card, each player discarding his or her hand, then drawing
the same number of cards. Seto then actvates "Raise Dead",
bringing his "Blue Eyes White Dragon" (8/3000/2500) into play
that he discarded due to Hand Obliteration.
Battle 187: True Unity!
Seto has just brought Blue Eyes into play. However, Light Mask
tells them that Blue Eyes' Attack is still less than the Masked
Hellraiser's. Yugi tells Kaiba to attack anyway, just to have a
little faith in what he says.
Seto attacks, and ends up destroying the Hellraiser (D's LP:
3700). Everyone is screaming how he did it, when Yugi reveals
that he activated the effect of his Gilfar Demon. When it's in
the Cemetery, one monster's attack is decreased by 500.
Light Mask plays "Melkid Four-Faced Beast" (4/1500/1200) in
Defense mode.
Yugi's turn is next, and he loses 800 LP (Y's LP: 1900). He
places a card, and summons Magnet Warrior Alpha (4/1400/1700),
and attacks and destroys the Melkid.
Dark Mask summons "Temptress Nuvia" (4/2000/800), and attacks
Blue Eyes. Light Mask activates "Mask of Weakness" on Blue Eyes,
reducing its Attack by half. Yugi then activates "Spirit
Mirror", sending it back on Nuvia. Blue Eyes destroys Nuvia (D's
LP: 1700). Dark Mask calls Light Mask a "Shrimp", something that
Light Mask obviously doesn't like.
Yugi tells Seto that this is the power of unity.
