[[Devon Knox|Devon]] draws. He activates "[[Training Grounds]]", which will let him [[send]] two monsters from his hand to the [[Graveyard]] in order to Normal Summon one Level 7 or higher monster without [[Tribute]]. Devon then activates the effect of "Training Grounds" to send "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]" and "[[Coach Soldier Wolfbark (anime)|Coach Soldier Wolfbark]]" from his hand to the Graveyard and Normal Summon "[[Coach Captain Bearman (anime)|Coach Captain Bearman]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]8/2600/2700) in Attack Position. As Devon controls "Coach Captain Bearman", he activates "[[Bear's Boot Camp]]" to [[Special Summon]] "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1600/1200) in Attack Position (as "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" is a Level 4 Beast-Warrior type monster). He then activates the effect of "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" to revive another "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1600/1200) in Attack Position. Devon activates the effect of "Coach Captain Bearman" to double the Levels of all Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior-Type monsters he controls until the [[End Phase]] (both "Coach Soldier Wolfbarks": [[File:CG Star.svg|16px]] 4 → 8). Devon overlays "Coach Captain Bearman" and two "Coach Soldier Wolfbarks" in order to Xyz Summon "[[Coach King Giantrainer (anime)|Coach King Giantrainer]]" ([[File:Rank Star.svg|16px]]8/2800/2000, ORU: 3) in Attack Position.
 +
 
 +
Devon [[activate]]s the effect of "Coach King Giantrainer", [[detach]]ing an [[Xyz Material|Overlay Unit]] ("Coach King Giantrainer": 3 → 2 ORU) to [[shuffle]] both players' Decks. Both players will [[draw a card]] and reveal them. The player who draws the monster with the lower Level will take 800 [[effect damage|damage]], then the drawn cards are sent to the Graveyard. Devon draws the Level 8 "[[Beast King Barbaros (anime)|Beast King Barbaros]]" while Yuma draws the Level 1 "[[Stinging Swordsman (anime)|Stinging Swordsman]]" (Yuma: 4000 → 3200 LP). Devon activates the effect of "Coach King Giantrainer" again ("Coach King Giantrainer": 2 → 1 ORU) and Devon draws the Level 8 "[[Mosaic Manticore (anime)|Mosaic Manticore]]" while Yuma draws the Level 3 "[[Gagaga Girl (anime)|Gagaga Girl]]" (Yuma: 3200 → 2400 LP). Devon activates the effect of "Coach King Giantrainer" again ("Coach King Giantrainer": 1 → 0 ORU) and Devon draws the Level 4 "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" while Yuma draws the Level 6 "[[Dododo Warrior (anime)|Dododo Warrior]]" (Devon: 4000 → 3200 LP).  
  
<u>'''Turn 2: Daisuke'''</u><br />
+
Devon activates "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force (anime)|Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force]]" to [[Rank-Up]] "Coach King Giantrainer" via [[Chaos Xyz Evolution]] in order to Xyz Summon "[[CXyz Coach Lord Ultimatrainer (anime)|Chaos Xyz Coach Lord Ultimatrainer]]" ([[File:Rank Star.svg|16px]]9/3800/2300, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. Devon then activates the third effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to target "Terror-Byte", detach its Overlay Units ("Terror-Byte": 3 → 0 ORU), attach them to "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" ("Coach Lord Ultimatrainer": 1 → 4 ORU), and decrease the ATK of "Terror-Byte" by 300 for each detached Overlay Unit.
[[Daisuke Katagiri|Daisuke]] activates the [[Field Spell Card]] "[[Training Kingdom - Training World]]", which will let him [[send]] two monsters from his hand to the [[Graveyard]] to Normal Summon one Level 7 or higher monster without [[Tribute]]. He sends "[[Panther Warrior]]" and "[[Hot-Blooded Beast Master, Wolfbark]]" to the Graveyard to Normal Summon "[[Hot-Blooded Beast King, Bearman]]" (2600/2700) in Attack Position. As Daisuke controls "Bearman", he activates "[[Bear's Boot Camp]]" which allows him to Special Summon one Level 4 [[Beast-Warrior]]-[[Type]] monster from his [[Main Deck|Deck]]. He [[Special Summon]]s "[[Hot-Blooded Beast Master, Wolfbark]]" (1600/1200) in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Wolfbark", letting him Special Summon another "Wolfbark" (1600/1200) from his Graveyard once per turn. Daisuke activates the effect of "Bearman", letting him double the Levels of all Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior-Type monsters he controls until the End Phase. The Levels of both "Wolfbarks" are doubled to 8. Daisuke overlays his three Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Hot-Blooded Instructor King, Giantrainer]]" (2800/2000) in Attack Position. He [[activate]]s the effect of "Giantrainer", [[detach]]ing an [[Xyz Material|Overlay Unit]] to [[shuffle]] both players' Decks. Both players will [[draw a card]] and a reveal them. The player who draws the monster with the lower Level will take 800 [[effect damage|damage]] and the drawn cards are sent to the Graveyard. Daisuke draws the Level 8  "[[Beast King Barbaros]]" and Yuma draws Level 1 "[[Stinging Swordsman]]" (Yuma 4000 → 3200). Daisuke activates the effect again, detaching an Overlay Unit. Daisuke draws the Level 8 "[[Mosaic Manticore]]" and Yuma draws the Level 3 "[[Gagaga Girl]]" (Yuma 3200 → 2400). Daisuke detaches the last Overlay Unit to activate the effect again. Katagiri draws the Level 4 "Wolfbark" and Yuma draws the Level 6 "[[Dododo Warrior]]" (Daisuke 4000 → 3200). Daisuke activates "[[Rank-Up Magic - Barian's Force]]", which allows him to [[Rank-Up]] "Giantrainer" and Summon a "[[Chaos Xyz]]" monster one [[Rank]] higher than it, while using "Giantrainer" as its Overlay Unit. Daisuke performs a [[Chaos Xyz Evolution]], overlaying the Rank 8 "Giantrainer" to Xyz Summon the Rank 9 "[[Chaos Xyz: Hot-Blooded Instructor God, Ultimatrainer]]" (3800/2300) in Attack Position. The effect of "Rank-Up Magic" lets him target one [[Xyz Monster]] the opponent controls, detach its Overlay Units and [[attach]] them to the newly Summoned "Chaos Xyz" and decrease the [[ATK]] of that monster by 300 for each detached Unit. "Ultimatrainer" takes the three Overlay Units of "Terror-Byte". "Ultimatrainer" [[attack]]s "Terror-Byte" and as it was Special Summoned with "Barian's Force", it can [[negate]] the effects of monsters that would prevent their [[destroy|destruction]] [[by battle]]. Therefore, "Terror-Byte" is destroyed. Daisuke activates the effect of "Ultimatrainer", as it was Xyz Summoned by Ranking Up "Giantrainer" and successfully destroyed an opponent's monster. He can detach all of its Overlay Units to force his opponent to draw cards equal to the amount of detached Units and send them to the Graveyard. If a drawn card is a Level 4 or lower monster, Yuma will take damage equal to its ATK. Yuma draws the Level 3 "[[Achacha Archer]]" (Yuma 2400 → 1200), "[[Wonder Wand]]", the Level 4 "[[Kagetokage]]" (Yuma 1200 → 100) and the Level 3 "[[Dotedotengu]]", which has 0 ATK. As it was sent from the hand to the Graveyard, the effect of "Dotedotengu" activates, letting Yuma target one card on the field and return it to the hand. He targets "Ultimatrainer", but Daisuke activates the effect of "Ultimatrainer", letting it become immune to monster effects once per turn. Yuma activates his [[face-down]] "[[Burial Mayhem - Bury Panic]]", letting him decrease the ATK of "Ultimatrainer" by 100 for each monster sent to the Graveyard this turn and inflict the same amount to Daisuke as damage. Eighteen monsters were sent, so the ATK of "Ultimatrainer" is reduced by 1800 (3800 → 2000) and Daisuke takes 1800 damage (Daisuke 3200 → 1400).agiri

 +
"Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" [[attack]]s and destroys "Terror-Byte" as the second effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" allows the Special Summoned monster to [[negate]] the effects of monsters that would prevent their [[destroy|destruction]] [[by battle]]. Devon activates the second effect of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" to detach all its Chaos Overlay Units ("Ultimatrainer": 4 → 0 ORU) and force Yuma to draw a card for every Chaos Overlay Unit detached and reveal it before sending the drawn card to the Graveyard. If a drawn card is a Level 4 or lower monster, Yuma will take damage equal to its ATK. Yuma draws the Level 3 "[[Achacha Archer (anime)|Achacha Archer]]" (Yuma: 2400 → 1200 LP), "[[Wonder Wand (anime)|Wonder Wand]]", the Level 4 "[[Kagetokage (anime)|Kagetokage]]" (Yuma: 1200 → 100 LP) and the Level 3 "[[Dotedotengu (anime)|Dotedotengu]]", which has 0 ATK.

As "Dotedotengu" was sent to the Graveyard, Yuma activates its effect to return "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" to the hand, but Devon activates the first effect of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer", letting it become immune to monster effects once per turn.<ref group=Notes name=dotedo>The written Japanese anime lore of "[[Dotedotengu (anime)|Dotedotengu]]" states it can [[return]] a card on its [[controller]]'s side of the [[Playing Field|field]] to the [[hand]], not the opponent's.</ref> Yuma activates his [[face-down]] "[[Panic Burial]]" to decrease the ATK of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" by 100 for each monster sent to the Graveyard this turn and inflict the same amount to Devon as damage. Eighteen monsters were sent ("Ultimatrainer": 3800 → 2000 ATK; Devon 3200 → 1400 LP).

<u>'''Turn 3: Yuma'''</u><br />
Yuma Normal Summons "[[Gagaga Magician]]" (1500/1000) and activates "[[Gagaga X Gagaga]]". This lets him target 1 "[[Gagaga]]" monster he controls and Special Summon this card to the [[Monster Card Zone]] as a monster with the same [[Attribute]], Type, Level, ATK and [[DEF]] as that monster. He targets "Gagaga Magician", so "Gagaga X Gagaga" is Special Summoned (1500/1000). Yuma overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Yuma performs a Chaos Xyz Evolution, overlaying "Utopia" to Xyz Summon "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray]]" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia Ray" three times, detaching three Overlay Units to increase its ATK by 500 for each Unit (2500 → 4000).<ref group=Notes name=UtopiaRay>For unknown reasons, the [[ATK]] of "[[Chaos Xyz: Hot-Blooded Instructor God, Ultimatrainer]]" was not shown decreasing.</ref> "Utopia Ray" attacks and destroys "Ultimatrainer" (Daisuke 1400 → 0).
+
Yuma draws "Gagaga x Gagaga". He then Normal Summons "[[Gagaga Magician (anime)|Gagaga Magician]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1500/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates "[[Gagaga x Gagaga]]" to target "Gagaga Magician" (as it's a "Gagaga" monster) and Special Summon "Gagaga x Gagaga" as a monster with the same [[Attribute]], Type, Level, ATK and [[DEF]] as "Gagaga Magician" in Attack Position ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1500/1000). Yuma overlays "Gagaga Magician" and "Gagaga x Gagaga" in order to Xyz Summon "[[Number 39: Utopia (anime)|Number 39: Utopia]]" ([[File:Rank Star.svg|16px]]4/2500/2000, ORU: 2) in Attack Position. Yuma overlays "Utopia" with its two Overlay Units via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray (anime)|Chaos Number 39: Utopia Ray]]" ([[File:Rank Star.svg|16px]]4/2500/2000, ORU: 3) in Attack Position. Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia Ray" three times, detaching all its Overlay Units ("Utopia Ray": 3 → 0 ORU) to increase its ATK by 500 for each one detached ("Utopia Ray": 2500 → 4000 ATK) and decrease the ATK of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" by 1000 for each one detached ("Ultimatrainer": 2000 → 0 ATK). "Utopia Ray" attacks and destroys "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" (Devon: 1400 → 0 LP).

"Hard Knox", known as "I'm Here, Thinking for the Best! My Name Is Rei Shingetsu" in the Japanese version, is the seventy-sixth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. It first aired in Japan on October 21, 2012 and in the United States on August 31, 2013.

A new student has transferred to Yuma's class. His name is Ray Shadows and has become huge fan of Yuma due to his winning the WDC. Everyone at school is psyched at the arrival of the Pro Duelist Devon Knox, who is going to a special lesson. Feeling bad for Yuma, who's banned from attending the special lesson (in the dub, he didn't sign up for the class), Ray runs off to get Devon's signature. But, what awaits Ray is a "Coaching" under the instruction of Devon, who is being controlled by the Barian faction!

Featured Duels[edit]

Bronk Stone and four unnamed students vs. Devon Knox[edit]

The full Duel is not shown. The female student activates "Madolche Chateau" at one point, while Devon activates a Trap Card. Eventually, Devon is shown to control "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei" in Attack Position with 7800 ATK (CG Star.svg4/500 → 7800/800) as well as at least four Equip Cards equipped to it, allowing "Ben Kei" to attack five times (one normal attack and one additional attack for each Equip Card equipped to it). "Ben Kei" attacks all five students directly (Both Bronk and four unnamed students: ? → 0 LP).

Ray Shadows vs. Devon Knox[edit]

Duel is shown from an unspecified turn. Devon controls "Coach Captain Bearman" (CG Star.svg8/2600/2700) in Attack Position and has an unspecified amount of Life Points, while Ray controls no cards and has 1500 Life Points.

Devon's turn
"Coach Captain Bearman" attacks directly (Ray: 1500 → 0 LP).

Yuma Tsukumo vs. Devon Knox[edit]

Turn 1: Yuma
Yuma draws. He then activates "Three Card Summon" to reveal three Level 4 or lower monsters with the same Level in his hand and Special Summon one of them. Yuma reveals "Mimimic", "Rai Rider" and "Zubaba Knight" and subsequently Special Summons "Rai Rider" (CG Star.svg3/1200/1400) in Attack Position. Yuma Normal Summons "Zubaba Knight" (CG Star.svg3/1600/900) in Attack Position. As he controls a Level 3 monster, Yuma Special Summons "Mimimic" (CG Star.svg3/300/300) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Yuma overlays "Rai Rider", "Zubaba Knight", and "Mimimic" in order to Xyz Summon "Number 34: Terror-Byte" (Rank Star.svg3/0/2900, ORU: 3) in Defense Position. Yuma Sets a card.

Turn 2: Devon
Devon draws. He activates "Training Grounds", which will let him send two monsters from his hand to the Graveyard in order to Normal Summon one Level 7 or higher monster without Tribute. Devon then activates the effect of "Training Grounds" to send "Panther Warrior" and "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" from his hand to the Graveyard and Normal Summon "Coach Captain Bearman" (CG Star.svg8/2600/2700) in Attack Position. As Devon controls "Coach Captain Bearman", he activates "Bear's Boot Camp" to Special Summon "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" (CG Star.svg4/1600/1200) in Attack Position (as "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" is a Level 4 Beast-Warrior type monster). He then activates the effect of "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" to revive another "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" (CG Star.svg4/1600/1200) in Attack Position. Devon activates the effect of "Coach Captain Bearman" to double the Levels of all Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior-Type monsters he controls until the End Phase (both "Coach Soldier Wolfbarks": CG Star.svg 4 → 8). Devon overlays "Coach Captain Bearman" and two "Coach Soldier Wolfbarks" in order to Xyz Summon "Coach King Giantrainer" (Rank Star.svg8/2800/2000, ORU: 3) in Attack Position.

Devon activates the effect of "Coach King Giantrainer", detaching an Overlay Unit ("Coach King Giantrainer": 3 → 2 ORU) to shuffle both players' Decks. Both players will draw a card and reveal them. The player who draws the monster with the lower Level will take 800 damage, then the drawn cards are sent to the Graveyard. Devon draws the Level 8 "Beast King Barbaros" while Yuma draws the Level 1 "Stinging Swordsman" (Yuma: 4000 → 3200 LP). Devon activates the effect of "Coach King Giantrainer" again ("Coach King Giantrainer": 2 → 1 ORU) and Devon draws the Level 8 "Mosaic Manticore" while Yuma draws the Level 3 "Gagaga Girl" (Yuma: 3200 → 2400 LP). Devon activates the effect of "Coach King Giantrainer" again ("Coach King Giantrainer": 1 → 0 ORU) and Devon draws the Level 4 "Coach Soldier Wolfbark" while Yuma draws the Level 6 "Dododo Warrior" (Devon: 4000 → 3200 LP).

Devon activates "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to Rank-Up "Coach King Giantrainer" via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Xyz Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" (Rank Star.svg9/3800/2300, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. Devon then activates the third effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to target "Terror-Byte", detach its Overlay Units ("Terror-Byte": 3 → 0 ORU), attach them to "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" ("Coach Lord Ultimatrainer": 1 → 4 ORU), and decrease the ATK of "Terror-Byte" by 300 for each detached Overlay Unit.

"Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" attacks and destroys "Terror-Byte" as the second effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" allows the Special Summoned monster to negate the effects of monsters that would prevent their destruction by battle. Devon activates the second effect of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" to detach all its Chaos Overlay Units ("Ultimatrainer": 4 → 0 ORU) and force Yuma to draw a card for every Chaos Overlay Unit detached and reveal it before sending the drawn card to the Graveyard. If a drawn card is a Level 4 or lower monster, Yuma will take damage equal to its ATK. Yuma draws the Level 3 "Achacha Archer" (Yuma: 2400 → 1200 LP), "Wonder Wand", the Level 4 "Kagetokage" (Yuma: 1200 → 100 LP) and the Level 3 "Dotedotengu", which has 0 ATK.

As "Dotedotengu" was sent to the Graveyard, Yuma activates its effect to return "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" to the hand, but Devon activates the first effect of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer", letting it become immune to monster effects once per turn.[Notes 1] Yuma activates his face-down "Panic Burial" to decrease the ATK of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" by 100 for each monster sent to the Graveyard this turn and inflict the same amount to Devon as damage. Eighteen monsters were sent ("Ultimatrainer": 3800 → 2000 ATK; Devon 3200 → 1400 LP).

Turn 3: Yuma
Yuma draws "Gagaga x Gagaga". He then Normal Summons "Gagaga Magician" (CG Star.svg4/1500/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Gagaga x Gagaga" to target "Gagaga Magician" (as it's a "Gagaga" monster) and Special Summon "Gagaga x Gagaga" as a monster with the same Attribute, Type, Level, ATK and DEF as "Gagaga Magician" in Attack Position (CG Star.svg4/1500/1000). Yuma overlays "Gagaga Magician" and "Gagaga x Gagaga" in order to Xyz Summon "Number 39: Utopia" (Rank Star.svg4/2500/2000, ORU: 2) in Attack Position. Yuma overlays "Utopia" with its two Overlay Units via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Number 39: Utopia Ray" (Rank Star.svg4/2500/2000, ORU: 3) in Attack Position. Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia Ray" three times, detaching all its Overlay Units ("Utopia Ray": 3 → 0 ORU) to increase its ATK by 500 for each one detached ("Utopia Ray": 2500 → 4000 ATK) and decrease the ATK of "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" by 1000 for each one detached ("Ultimatrainer": 2000 → 0 ATK). "Utopia Ray" attacks and destroys "Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" (Devon: 1400 → 0 LP).

Notes[edit]

  1. The written Japanese anime lore of "Dotedotengu" states it can return a card on its controller's side of the field to the hand, not the opponent's.
