"The Naked Commander" is the fifty-eighth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime. It first aired in Japan on May 14, 2023.
Having obtained MIK's most vital secret, Manabu pays a visit to UTS but is marked as a traitor and captured. When Zuwijo shows up out of nowhere, UTS welcomes him back with open arms. Manabu doesn't agree with this, so he challenges Zuwijo to a Duel in order to prove himself!
Summary
It is nighttime at Mutsuba Town. Manabu steals Phaser's secret and escapes the office with Nyandestar. At the UTS building, Yuamu is depressed that her brother, along with the rebels, have been turned into cards. The other UTS members grieve over Yuhi's loss. Menjaburo takes off his glasses, saying that if there's no Yuhi, then there's no Yuhi Gang. Manabu arrives with the most important of secrets. As he is about to show Phaser's secret, everyone captures him and Nyandestar.
They all berate him for what happened to Yuhi. Manabu introduces him and Nyandestar as the chemical commanders of the MIK and tells the gang that it was all an act to get Phaser's secret so he could expose him as he and Nyandestar are jailed. Menjaburo refuses to believe that. Ofuruno bets that Manabu could be a spy sent by Phaser and points out that he is a jersey with an MIK tag on the back. Manabu asks everyone why won't they believe him. Yuamu answers him that their friends have been turned into cards and no one is in a state of mind to believe his words. Manabu shows the gang a scroll, which was contained in the MIK's safes so it has to be contained with Phaser's secret. Maki and Purisaki unroll the scroll, revealing it to be blank, much to Nyandestar and Manabu's shock. Maki and Purisaki imagine how it would be nice to sew the scroll's cosplay. Nyandestar asks Manabu why did they grab the scroll. Manabu thought it was Phaser's secret since it was locked in the safe. UTS glares at him and he turns away. He also shows them three Maximum Cards as does Yudias. Manabu is shocked and slumps over in defeat. Yudias tells him that they've also captured an executive so they can use him as a bargaining chip with the MIK. Yudias makes a plan: When the Ryugu brothers shows up, they can Rush Duel them. And no one else should be turned into a card anymore. Tazaki plans on avenging Yuhi. Ofuruno also wants to help while Menjaburo and Damamu convince Yudias to provide on his noodle assistance. Yudias agrees. Yuamu wonders in her thoughts if they could really win. She tells Yudias that it isn't time to fight yet. A knock is at the door and Yuamu answers it. It is Zuwijo, who has arrived to tell Yudias that it is not time to confront Manabu yet. He informs the gang that he has completed the Velgear Cluster mission and in flashback, he and his friends learned to understand each other through Rush Duels. Yudias concludes that his planet is at peace now. Zuwijo is about to tell the others that something is worrying him on Earth, but Manabu complains about the warm welcome back. Muda warns him that if he continues to insult Zuwijo, he won't sit idly by. Dinois says that Nyandestar caused a lot of trouble as well. Manabu, shocked, laments about what happened in his events today in thought. He challenges Zuwijo to a Rush Duel. If he wins, everyone will have to understand him. Dinois and Muda tell him that if Zuwijo wins, Manabu will have to become one of their underlings. Zuwijo accepts the challenge. Yudias offers him the Maximum cards to defeat Manabu's Maximum, but he denies it.
Outside, Zuwijo and Manabu say their names and insert their Decks into their Duel Disks and call "Go Rush!!". Zuwijo declares his turn and draws, his hand containing "Requiem Strike Back", "Diffuse Nebula", "Voidvelgr Hoplites", "Meteorlarva", and "Voidvelgr Kyrie". He summons "Meteorlarva" with 600 ATK, "Voidvelgr Kyrie" with 200 ATK, and "Voidvelgr Hoplites" with 1500 ATK. He activates the effect of "Meteorlarva" and sends the top cards of his Deck to the Graveyard for every monster on field.
Featured Duel: Manabu Sogetsu vs. Zuwijo zir Velgear
This Duel is conducted as a Rush Duel.
Turn 1: Zuwijo
Zuwijo's hand contains "Requiem Strike Back", "Diffuse Nebula", "Voidvelgr Hoplites", "Meteorlarva" and "Voidvelgr Kyrie". Zuwijo Normal Summons "Meteorlarva" (600/0), "Kyrie" (200/500) and "Hoplites" (1500/100). Zuwijo activates the effect of "Meteorlarva" to send cards equal to the number of face-up Galaxy Type monsters on his field from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Zuwijo sends "Fusion", "Dark Hole" and "Voidvelgr Requiem" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Zuwijo Sets "Diffuse Nebula" and "Requiem Strike Back" in his Spell & Trap Zones. Zuwijo activates the effect of "Kyrie", sending a face-up Level 7 or lower Galaxy Type monster from his field to the Graveyard to add a "Requiem" or "Voidvelgr Chrysaor" from his Graveyard to his hand, then he can choose a face-up card on his field and prevent it from being destroyed by card effects until the end of this turn. Zuwijo sends "Hoplites" from his field to the Graveyard and adds "Requiem" from his Graveyard to his hand. Zuwijo Tributes "Meteorlarva" and "Kyrie" to Tribute Summon "Requiem" (2500/2000).
Turn 2: Manabu
Manabu's hand contains "Volcalize Compound", "Chemical Distill", "Blazebolt Chemistorm Fenghuang Volcalize Phoenix [L]", "Blazebolt Chemistorm Fenghuang Volcalize Phoenix" and "Blazebolt Chemistorm Fenghuang Volcalize Phoenix [R]". Manabu Maximum Summons "Volcalize Phoenix [L]" (2000/0), "Volcalize Phoenix" (2400/0) and "Volcalize Phoenix [R]" (2000/0) in Maximum Mode (3500). As "Volcalize Phoenix" is in Maximum Mode, Manabu activates its effect, sending a FIRE Attribute or Pyro Type monster from his hand to the Graveyard to inflict 1000 damage to Zuwijo, then prevent it from being destroyed by his Trap Card effects and allow it to inflict piercing battle damage until the end of this turn. Manabu sends "Chemical Distill" from his hand to the Graveyard (Zuwijo: 4000 → 3000 LP). As Manabu has a face-up FIRE Attribute monster on his field, he activates the Spell Card "Volcalize Compound", shuffling an Aqua, Pyro or Thunder Type monster from his Graveyard into the Deck to draw a card, then if he has a monster in Maximum Mode or an equipped Equip Spell Card on his field, he can draw an additional card. Manabu shuffles "Chemical Distill" from his Graveyard into the Deck and draws "Chemicalize Despise", then draws "Chemicalize Structure Force". Manabu activates the Equip Spell Card "Chemicalize Structure Force", equipping it to a face-up Aqua, Pyro or Thunder Type monster on his field to increase its ATK by the number of different Types on the field x 300, and if the equipped monster is a Maximum Monster, it cannot be destroyed by Zuwijo's card effects. Manabu equips "Chemicalize Structure Force" to "Volcalize Phoenix" ("Volcalize Phoenix": 3500 → 4100). Manabu Sets "Chemicalize Despise" in his Spell & Trap Zone. "Volcalize Phoenix" attacks and destroys "Requiem" (Zuwijo: 3000 → 1400 LP; "Volcalize Phoenix": 4100 → 3800).
Turn 3: Zuwijo
Zuwijo Normal Summons "Voidvelgr Pale Rider" (1600/0) and "Dark Prophet" (0/0) ("Volcalize Phoenix": 3800 → 4100). As "Dark Prophet" was Normal Summoned this turn, Zuwijo activates its effect, shuffling three DARK Attribute Galaxy Type monsters from his Graveyard into the Deck to add a "Fusion" from his Graveyard to his hand. Zuwijo shuffles "Kyrie", "Meteorlarva" and "Hoplites" from his Graveyard into the Deck and adds "Fusion" from his Graveyard to his hand. Zuwijo activates the Spell Card "Fusion" to Fusion Summon by sending face-up monsters from his field to the Graveyard as material. Zuwijo sends "Pale Rider" and "Dark Prophet" from his field to the Graveyard and Fusion Summons "Voidvelgr Apocalypse" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Zuwijo activates the effect of "Apocalypse", sending a card from his hand to the Graveyard to increase its ATK by 1000 and prevent it from being destroyed by card effects until the end of this turn, then if it was Special Summoned this turn, he can add a "Dark Hole" from his Graveyard to his hand. Zuwijo sends "Voidvelgr Peltast" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Apocalypse": 2500/2000 → 3500/2000), then adds "Dark Hole" from his Graveyard to his hand. Zuwijo activates the Spell Card "Dark Hole" to destroy all monsters on the field. Zuwijo tries to destroy "Apocalypse" and "Volcalize Phoenix", but due to its effect and the effect of "Chemicalize Structure Force" respectively, they are not destroyed. Zuwijo activates the Equip Spell Card "Voidvelgr Shroud", equipping it to a face-up Galaxy Type monster on his field to increase its ATK by the number of Spell/Trap Cards on his field x 100, and while the equipped monster is face-up, his Spell/Trap Cards cannot be destroyed by Manabu's card effects. Zuwijo equips "Voidvelgr Shroud" to "Apocalypse" ("Apocalypse": 3500/2000 → 3800/2000). Zuwijo Normal Summons "Voidvelgr Kyriacos" (1000/1000). Zuwijo activates the effect of "Kyriacos", changing its battle position to increase the ATK of a face-up DARK Attribute Galaxy Type monster on his field equipped with an Equip Spell Card by 1000 until the end of this turn. Zuwijo changes "Kyriacos" to Defense Position and chooses "Apocalypse" ("Apocalypse": 3800/2000 → 4800/2000). "Apocalypse" attacks "Volcalize Phoenix". As Zuwijo's monster declared an attack targeting Manabu's face-up Pyro Type monster, Manabu activates his face-down Trap Card "Chemicalize Despite" to negate the attack, then if the attack target's Level is higher than the attacking monster's, he can destroy the attacking monster. Manabu tries to destroy "Apocalypse", but due to its effect, it is not destroyed. As Zuwijo ends his turn, the ATK of "Apocalypse" returns to normal ("Apocalypse": 4800/2000 → 2800/2000).
Turn 4: Manabu
As "Volcalize Phoenix" is in Maximum Mode, Manabu activates its effect. Manabu sends "Hot the Combustion Spirit" from his hand to the Graveyard (Zuwijo: 1400 → 400 LP). Manabu activates the Spell Card "Chemicalizing Impact", sending two cards from his hand to the Graveyard to increase the ATK of a face-up monster on his field by 1000 until the end of this turn, then if he sent two Aqua, Pyro and/or Thunder Type monsters to the Graveyard this way, that face-up monster gains an additional 1000 ATK until the end of this turn. Manabu sends "Melt the Aqueous Spirit" and "Bolt the Conduction Spirit" from his hand to the Graveyard and chooses "Volcalize Phoenix" ("Volcalize Phoenix": 4100 → 5100 → 6100). Manabu's hand contains "Chemicalize Salamander". Manabu activates the effect of "Volcalize Phoenix [L]", shuffling a FIRE Attribute Thunder Type monster from his Graveyard into the Deck to destroy a face-up Level 9 or lower monster on Zuwijo's field, then if it is in Maximum Mode, he can destroy a monster on Zuwijo's field. Manabu shuffles "Bolt" from his Graveyard into the Deck and destroys "Apocalypse", then destroys "Kyriacos" ("Volcalize Phoenix": 6100 → 5800). As a face-up Galaxy Type monster on Zuwijo's field was destroyed by Manabu's card effect, Zuwijo activates his face-down Trap Card "Diffuse Nebula" to Special Summon a DARK Attribute Galaxy Type monster from his Graveyard to his field in face-up Attack Position, then he can shuffle a monster from Manabu's Graveyard into the Deck. Zuwijo Special Summons "Requiem" (2500/2000) from his Graveyard in Attack Position ("Volcalize Phoenix": 5800 → 6100), then shuffles "Melt" from Manabu's Graveyard into the Deck. "Volcalize Phoenix" attacks "Requiem". As Manabu's monster declared an attack targeting Zuwijo's face-up "Requiem" while Manabu's LP are at least 2500 higher than Zuwijo's, Zuwijo activates his face-down Trap Card "Requiem Strike Back" to negate the attack, then inflict damage to Manabu equal to the attacking monster's ATK (Manabu: 4000 → 0 LP).
