Burn! Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis is the ninety-ninth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Jack loses against Andore and so the next in line for Team 5D's is Akiza.

Summary

Aftermath of Jack’s Duel

After Jack loses against Andore, he ends up crashing along with his Phoenix Whirlwind. Yusei then hurries up to try to help him, but Jack stops him reminding Yusei of one the rules of the WRGP, which forbids a person from helping them, otherwise the team is disqualified. Still injured, Jack picks up his damaged Duel Runner and begins pushing it all the way to the pits, all this with an effort while stating that he won’t let their dream end up in there.

Events before Akiza’s Duel

Jack pushes his Phoenix Whirlwind up to where Akiza is waiting. Meanwhile on the stand, Mina, Carly and Stephanie observing what has happened to him, all rush to the pits. However while Jack is occupied another problem for Team 5D's arises. As according to another rule of the tournament, is that Team Unicorn’s Speed Counter’s will increase for each lap, until it reaches the maximum of 12. After that, Team 5D’s own Speed Counter’s will start decreasing. And once they reach zero the team will automatically lose.

Meanwhile, Yusei tells Akiza to get ready; as she does he notices her being nervous. Yusei then tells Akiza to look at the crowd from where her parents are currently watching. A flashback is shown where Akiza tells her parents about participating on the Prix. Though Setsuko tells her that it is dangerous, Akiza states that she wants to fight using a Duel Runner along its friends. To that Hideo understands while encouraging his daughter to show them what she can do. Yusei then reminds Akiza that her current self isn’t alone anymore.

Jack then finally arrives to where Akiza is, on account that there is only one Speed Counter left. With a final effort he reaches her, and to that Akiza then races off the pits. Fortunately she meets up with Andore is. They both race, as she needs to take the lead first if the Team’s match duel is to continue. And luckily Akiza is able to take the first turn officially. After seeing this Jack faints and is taken to the emergency room by Mina, Carly and Stephanie.

Before the Duel commences, Andore states that using the Overboost system is starting to slow him down. Still he prompts for Akiza to face him.

Beginning of the Second Duel

Akiza aggressively commences to damage Andore’s life points with the attack and effect of her Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis. To this move, Breo and John comment and notice that she going all out, this because of overwhelming disadvantage she has against Andore. This being that Team Unicorn’s Speed Counters are at max, meaning that Andore can activate any Speed Spell.

Meanwhile, Andore figures out what Akiza’s strategy is, and has found out a way to counter it. Now because of this not only he is able to revive Thunder Unicorn, but also able inflict some major damage to Akiza. On the pits, Breo and John comment that Andore could had finished her by using Speed World 2’s damaging effect. But he didn’t do it because that would mean fighting Yusei with 0 Speed Counter’s.

Meanwhile everyone Leo and Luna are worried; however Yusei tells them that he gave Akiza a secret plan. As everyone asks what this plan is, he tells them to just continue watching. Yusei himself then hopes that Akiza will use that card to reverse the situation.

Yusei’s Secret Plan

Though Akiza herself is worried, she recalls that moment after Yusei told that she is not alone anymore. At that time he gave her a card telling to go. Upon noticing what card it is, Yusei states that her opponent won’t think of her using that card and that where a chance lies. After this, he tells her to have fun with her Turbo Duel.

Akiza remarks on how what this fun is, implying that the plan is a reckless one. Still she will respond to Yusei’s wish. Akiza then makes her move and summons its ace monster, Black Rose Dragon, to which Andore is concerned. However as a surprising move for him, she is able to play the card Yusei gave her, that being Stardust Dragon. Everyone is surprise as well, Akiza then assaults Andore and is close to winning, however he counters her attacks.

Towards the End of the Duel

After this move, John points to Andore not to hold back anymore. Seemingly because Stardust’s appearance is troubling some, to this Andore tries to eliminate Stardust from the field. However Akiza counters his moves to prevent this from happening, though this costs her life points much dearly.

Now with few of them left, Andore plans to finish her off with the same move he used against Jack. But Akiza’s final move costs him much, as she sacrifices her remaining life points to activate Wicked Reborn and bring Stardust back. All of this after Andore has foolishly decreased his Speed Counters. Andore recalls this and states that her move was a good one.

Aftermath

Akiza reaches the pits and says to Yusei that she is sorry that couldn’t do anything. However Leo and Bruno states that this isn’t true and Yusei says to her to leave the rest up to him. Still after he leaves from the pits Akiza cries, but Crow tells her to instead look at the crowd. In there Hideo and Setsuko try to cheer her up, and seeing this, the rest of the crowd applauds to her. To this Akiza thanks her parents and friends.

After this, the MC states that in order for Team 5D’s to reverse the situation and win, Yusei must now defeat 3 opponents on a row.

Featured Duels

Akiza Izinski vs. Andore

NB: As the WRGP system works like a survival match, Andore starts off with 2700 Life Points and 12 Speed Counters, whereas Akiza starts off with 4000 Life Points and 1 Speed Counter.

Akiza's turn
Akiza summons "Phoenixian Seed" (ATK: 800). By sending "Phoenixian Seed", she Special Summons "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" (ATK: 2200) from her hand. Akiza attacks "Different Dimension Unicorn Knight" with "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" (Andore: 2300 Life Points). "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis'" effect causes it to be destroyed after damage calculation, and deals 800 damage to the opponent (Andore: 1500 Life Points). Akiza sets one card and removes from play "Phoenixian Seed" to Special Summon "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" (DEF: 0) from the Graveyard, and ends her turn.

Andore's turn
Andore activates "Speed Spell - Dash Pilfer", allowing him to take control of "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis". Next, he summons "Unibird" (ATK: 100), and activates its effect, removing it and "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" from play to Special Summon a Synchro Monster from the Graveyard with a lower level than the combined level of the two monsters. Andore Special Summons "Thunder Unicorn" (ATK: 2200) and attacks Akiza directly (Akiza: 1800 Life Points). He places 1 card face-down in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.

Akiza's turn
Akiza summons "Witch of the Black Rose (ATK: 1700), she then draws a card due to "Witch of the Black Rose's" effect. She draws "Rose Fairy", whose effect allows her to Special Summon it (ATK: 600). Next, she activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton", drawing 2 cards and discarding one ("Grow Up Bulb"). She sends "Rose Fairy" and "Witch of the Black Rose" to the Graveyard to Synchro Summon "Black Rose Dragon" (ATK: 2400). Akiza then activates the Trap Card "Eroding Stars - Level Climb", which Special Summons a "Level Climb Token" (ATK:0) when a Synchro Monster is Special Summoned, and switches levels with that Synchro Monster (Black Rose Dragon: Level 1; Level Climb Token: Level 7).

Akiza then sends the top card of her Deck to the Graveyard, to Special Summon "Grow Up Bulb" from the Graveyard (ATK: 100). She then sends "Grow Up Bulb" and the "Level Climb Token" to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon" (ATK: 2500). Akiza attacks "Thunder Unicorn" with "Black Rose Dragon" (Andore: 1300 Life Points). She then attacks directly with "Stardust Dragon", but Andore activates "Dimensional Balance", ending the Battle Phase, removing "Black Rose Dragon" and Special Summoning "Thunder Unicorn" (ATK: 2200). Akiza places 2 cards face-down in her Spell & Trap Card Zones and ends her turn.

Andore's turn
Andore activates "Speed Spell - Speed Energy", increasing "Thunder Unicorn's" ATK by 200 per Speed Counter (ATK: 4600). He then attacks "Stardust Dragon" with "Thunder Unicorn", but Akiza activates "Half Counter", allowing "Stardust Dragon" to gain half of "Thunder Unicorn's" original ATK (Akiza: 800 Life Points). Andore activates "Speed World 2's" effect, removing 4 Speed Counters to deal 800 damage to Akiza for each Speed Spell in his hand, but Akiza activates "Wicked Rebirth", paying 800 Life Points to Special Summon a Synchro Monster in the Graveyard, and negate its effect. Akiza Special Summons "Stardust Dragon" (Akiza: 0 Life Points).(NOTE: In the real TCG, a player cannot pay a cost equal to or more than the lifepoints he/she has, therefore Akiza would not be able to activate Wicked Rebirth.)

Andore wins.
