"Hero in Name Only" is the fifty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. It first aired in Japan on May 16, 2018.
Soulburner manages to survive a brutal attack from Gore's "Dinowrestler" monsters, using the effects of his "Salamangreat" monsters. Determined not to lose against Gore, who wants to prove himself to be the strongest Duelist, Soulburner sets his fist ablaze, and starts a counterattack!
Featured Duel: Soulburner vs. Gore
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Turn 4: Soulburner
Soulburner activates the Spell Card "Return of Link Fire", Special Summoning a "Salamangreat" Link Monster from his GY, then inflict damage to Go equal to its Link Rating times 200. That Link Monster is unaffected by card effects and cannot be attacked this turn. He Special Summons "Salamangreat Heatleo" (2300/↙↑↘). Soulburner activates the Field Spell Card "Salamangreat Sanctuary". When Soulburner Link Summons a "Salamangreat" Link Monster, the effect of "Salamangreat Sanctuary" allows him to use a monster with the same name as Link Material instead. Soulburner uses "Heatleo" to Reincarnation Link Summon another "Heatleo" (2300/↙↑↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Heatlio" was Reincarnation Link Summoned this turn, Soulburner activates its effect to change an Gore's monster's ATK to that of a monster in his GY. He makes the ATK of "Dinowrestler King T Wrextle" the same as "Meer" in his GY ("King T Wrextle": 3000 → 800 ATK). At the start of Soulburner's Battle Phase, Gore activates the effect of "King T Wrextle", targeting a monster Soulburner controls and preventing all other monsters Soulburner controls from attacking. He targets "Salamangreat Jack Jaguar". "Jack Jaguar" attacks "King T Wrextle" (Gore: 2900 → 1900 LP). As a "Dinowrestler" Gore controls would be destroyed by battle with Soulburner's monster, he activates the effect of "Dinowrestler Marshalankylo" in his hand, sending it to the GY to prevent that "Dinowrestler" from being destroyed and halving Soulburner's monster's ATK ("Jack Jaguar": 1800 → 900 ATK).
