Hearts Are Wild, known as Asuka in the Second Love Chance!? in the Japanese version, is the forty-third episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.

Summary

One night, on a cruise ship, a man with glasses, Pierre is playing poker in the ship’s casino. His nickname was “The Gambler" in the English version, while he uses the alias of "Boy" in the Japanese version. He never lost a card game or any kind of challenge. After winning another game of poker, he gets a tip about their being strong opponents in such games at Duel Academy.

He arrives at the island via jetski and attempts to get Chancellor Sheppard to hire him in the fight against the Shadow Riders. Sheppard states he'll hire him if he can defeat one of the current keykeepers in a Duel. Alexis Rhodes volunteers to face him. (In the 4kids Dub, Pierre said he came to duel the Academy's top duelist, Alexis (in his opinion), and would not leave until after he dueled her.)

During the Duel, a flashback is shown. Pierre and Alexis had gone to the same elementary school. Despite coming from a rich family, he wanted to acquire the prized possessions of his classmates, and was able to persuade many of them to wager them in games of chances. This does not sit well with Alexis, who challenges him to a game of Duel Monsters with a red scarf knitted by her mother as the wager. In addition, should she win, Pierre must return all the items he's taken from their classmates. Pierre loses, but is unable to accept defeat and snatches the scarf from Alexis. That was the last she saw of them.

Ultimately, Pierre loses and returns the scarf to Alexis and also reveals he came to Duel Academy because he had always had a crush on her. Alexis tells Pierre that she doesn't feel the same way for him. Pierre leaves Duel Academy heartbroken.

Featured Duel

Pierre's turn

Alexis' turn

  • Summons "Cyber Tutu" (1000/800) in Attack Position.
  • Attacks directly via "Cyber Tutu's" effect, but Pierre activates his face-down "Fairy Box", which lets him flip a coin, and if he is right he can make the attack of "Cyber Tutu" 0 for one turn. He calls heads, but is incorrect. "Second Coin Toss" activates, and he flips again. He calls heads, and is correct, so "Cyber Tutu's" attack points are reduced to zero for this turn.
  • Sets a card.

Pierre's turn

  • Pays 500 Life Points to keep "Fairy Box" in play (Pierre 3500).
  • Activates "Gamble Angel Bunny's" effect. He calls heads, but is incorrect. "Second Coin Toss" activates, and he correctly calls tails. (Alexis 2000).
  • Summons "Gamble Angel Bunny" (1200/1200) in Attack Position.
  • Attacks "Cyber Tutu", but Alexis activates her face-down "Doble Passé, makign the attack a direct attack, but allowing "Cyber Tutu" to immediately attack Pierre directly in return (Alexis 800, Pierre 2500).
  • Attacks and destroys "Cyber Tutu" with the second "Gamble Angel Bunny" (Alexis 600).

Alexis' turn

Pierre's turn

  • Pays 500 Life Points to keep "Fairy Box" in play (Pierre 2000).
  • Summons "Sand Gambler "(300/1600) in Attack Position.
  • Activates "Sand Gambler's" effect, flipping three coins. If all are heads, all of Alexis' monsters are destroyed. If he gets three tails, all of his own monsters are destroyed. Through "Second Coin Toss", he gets three heads, so the "Sheep Tokens" are destroyed.
  • Alexis activates "Hallowed Life Barrier, discarding a card to reduce all damage to zero this turn. Thus, Pierre chooses not to attack.

Alexis' turn

  • Activates "The Warrior Returning Alive" adding "Cyber Tutu" from her Graveyard to her hand.
  • Summons "Cyber Tutu" (1000/800) in Attack Position.
  • Activates "Prima Light", Tributing "Cyber Tutu" to Special Summon "Cyber Prima" (2300/1600) in Attack Position. "Cyber Prima's" effect activates, due to "Prima Light" treating it as a Tribute Summon, destroying "Second Coin Toss".
  • Attacks "Sand Gambler" but Pierre activates "Fairy Box". He calls tails, but is incorrect, so the attack goes through (Pierre 0).
