"Mark of the Monkey, Part 2", known as "Minus World, Search for the White Lion Regulus" in the Japanese version, is the forty-eighth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. It first aired in Japan on March 4, 2009. From this episode & onwards, the dub aired on CITV before it aired in the USA.

Summary

While Luna continues her searches for Regulus in the Spirit World with the help of Torunka, Leo continues his Duel against Devack while managing to Synchro Summon his ace card, "Power Tool Dragon".

Satellite

Devack says It's Leo's turn. Yusei says Leo's name worriedly, while Trudge thinks Leo can't withstand all the damage, and wonders if there's anything they can do. Devack asks what's the problem, and if Leo is not going to draw, and/or offers him the choice of surrender and a painless death. Leo tells him angrily to quit mocking him, and that he promised to protect Luna no matter what happens, and begins his turn.

Leo draws "Morphtronic Magnen Bar". He then tries to think of a plan. After coming up with something He Normal Summons it in Defense Mode and Sets 1 card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone. As he ends his turn, Devack asks if he is at the end of his ropes. Leo promises Luna he'll beat Devack for sure.

In the spirit world

Luna is running through the forest, thinking that she needs to save Ancient Fairy dragon quick, and return to her world, or else Leo is in danger.

Flashback

Ancient Fairy dragon says that her servent known as Regulus shall come for Luna in time. She then says for Luna to join forces with Regulus, and set her free.

Present in the spirit world

The spirits peering at Luna.

Luna begins to wonder if Ancient fairy Dragon was the one who called her. She further thinks unless she frees her, they won't be able to beat the Earthbound Immortals. As Luna continues to run, she spots a town. As she walks through it, she wonders if there is anyone there. She then notices some sprites, who looked scared/worried. Luna asks what they're doing, to which they run away. Luna then asks them to wait and runs after them, and then stops and begins to wonder what happened. She then spots another spirit and goes after it saying for it to please not run away. Luna then stops, tired from running.

Luna and Kuribon then sit on a bench, wondering why everyone keeps running away. Kuribon then senses something and wonders off, with Luna asking it what's wrong. She then get's off the bench and goes over to Kuribon, who is staring into an alley. After a second or two, a ball suddenly bounces up towards them from the alley, which Luna catches. Luna is surprised because the ball bounced up the alley of stairs, and wonders what's going on. She then notices a staff. After running up to it, she notices that even the leave are flying upwards. Luna then wonders if in this world, maybe things move in the opposite direction. She also starts to wonder what the staff is doing there, and says she has noticed it there and in other places.

The Monkey troop.

The wind begins to blow hard, as Luna hears someone say "They're coming, they're coming to catch spirits!". The spirit then urges the others to run, as it runs as well. Luna then wonders what this means. After turning her head slightly, she spots a dark fog coming from an alley. Luna get's scared and drops the ball, as her and Kuribon run. The ball runs into the fog, and shortly get's stomped on, and popped by a foot. Monkeys who're holding staffs are then revealed and say they smell the spirits. They then split up to cover more ground.

Luna who is hiding with Kuribon, is scared and wonders what that was. Suddendly Luna's pocket begins to glow. Taking out her deck, she puts her hands on it and tells them not to be afraid. Right after she says this, a couple of spirits run past her, followed by a monkey who spots Luna and Kuribon. Kuribon, followed by Sunlight Unicorn and Sunny Pixie, run in the alley way. The monkeys spot them, and one of them raises their staff and fires, despite Luna saying don't, which sealed them each in a stone tablet (identical in design to Duel Monsters' cards). However their Level Stars are reversed, giving them all Negative Levels. One of the monkeys looks at Kuribon (who is in the tablet) and asks how it feels to be a Minus.

Luna wonders what she should do now. The monkeys then spot Luna and go after her. Luna runs across many places, and is eventually corned by two armies of them coming at her on both sides. Quickly running into an alley, she finds herself completely corned, and wonders what she should do. After she says this, a stone on the ground is lifted, revealing a spirit, who gestures for her to come inside.

Back with the duel

Devack begins his turn. He uses "Magician Ape's" effect, by discarding "Fighter Ape" to take control of "Morphtronic Magnen Bar". "Magician Ape" rises its staff, which is identical to the ones Luna sees in the spirits' world, and uses its Cursed Needle effect to move "Morphtronic Magnen Bar" to Devack's side of the field.

Trudge thinks Leo's monster got taken again, but Yusei sees what Leo is doing. Leo laughs that Devack fell for it, and says he's got him. With "Magnen I" in Defense Mode, his monsters can't attack. Trudge says that wasn't bad. Devack however says "Then this intruder will have to disappear" which surprises Leo. Devack Releases it to Summon "Fighter Ape". Trudge is a bit shocked and says it has an attack power of 1900. Devack proceeds to attack Leo directly with "Fighter Ape", but Leo activates "Remake Puzzle", destroying "Morphtronic Magnen", which is on Devack's side of the field and ending the Battle Phase. He then gets to Special Summons a "Morphtronic" monster with a lower Level than "Magnen". He selects "Magnen I" and the pieces of the destroyed "Magnen" merge together to form "Magnen I". Devack says Leo maneged to save himself some pain that time, but asks him how long he can keep it up. Devack ends his turn. Leo says in his mind 'Luna, I'm trying my best'.

Nearby, Akiza, Mina and Jack can see the Monkey geoglyph in the sky. However Akiza and Jack notice they are getting no reaction from their birthmarks. Jack thinks that since his mark is not reacting, then that must mean that who ever is dueling, must not be a signer dueling.

Back in the spirit world

The monkeys are in the alley Luna was at, and are wondering where she could have went. One of the monkeys says "This way" and the others follow. The rock then lifts up, revealing Luna and a spirit. The spirit says that it looks like the monkeys are gone. After getting out, Luna thanks him for helping her out. After putting the rock back in place, he calls her "Little miss", and says he's betting she came from another world. Luna then looks a bit confused. The spirit says "good grief, a little kid wandering into the spirit world all alone, of all things", and continues saying who know what could have happened he not been around. Luna get's angry and asks him if that's any way to speak to someone older, and tells him he's still just a kid. The spirit however says that he is no kid, and despite his appearance, he's actually quite old, which surprises Luna. The spirit reveals It's name is Torunka, and that it is nice to meet Luna.

Monkeys are then shown walking around, while Luna and Torunka are hiding in a house. Luna asks if Torunka and the others are all Spellcaster-type spirits. Torunka says yes, and then says that all the other spirits have been caught. He further explains that some of them have maneged to give the monkeys the slip, but the Minus curse turned them all into kids. He also explains that it seems their powerful Minus energy has made even time flow in the opposite way. Luna asks what he means, and if he could be more specific.

Flashback

As the flashback occurs Torunka explains that the spirit world use to be a place where the spirits lived at peace with one another. He also explains that everyone would use their own abilities and work together to live good lives in harmony (the spirits are shown to be working, and having a great time). Torunka then says however, that one day, ever since those monkeys appeared in the town of SchWank, everything changed (as he says this, the sky get's red, and a darkness takes on a mysterious form). From what he had heard, they were trying to Minusize any and all things in the world. Torunka explains that when they switch their Cursed Needles to minus, the Minus Curse get's cast and any spirit get's captured by it (as Torunka explains this, a staff turns slightly and shoots a dark aura which the spirits try to run from, but are shown to shortly be captured into the tablets).

Present in the spirit world

Luna then asks Torunka if he knows a spirit by the name of Regulus. Torunka asks how she knows Regulus. Luna explains that she came to this world in order to rescue Ancient Fairy Dragon. He then wonders if Luna may be a Signer. Luna realizes he knows, and asks where she can go see Regulus. Torunka however says no, and that It's too dangerious to go see him now. He explains that Regules has been acting quite oddly lately. He further explains that it has gotten to the point that Regulus will appear, bearing his fangs at anyone who comes near him, or perhaps the thought that he was unable to absolutely protect Ancient Fairy dragon, has thrown his mind into disarray (as he says this, a white lion is shown walking and growling, but not fully revealed, and who's eyes are white).

Luna says, but without Regulus, Ancient Fairy dragon can't be saved. Luna also says they have to save Kuribon, and everyone else who was captured. she then re-asks him to please tell her where Regulus is. He answers her and says he conceals himself in the forest of Pojar. Luna then tells Torunka to lead her there. Torunka thinks that's crazy talk, and that they will get caught if they go outside. Luna however get's up, and leaves, shortly followed by Torunka. As he tries to catch up to her, she tells him to hurry up, which he tells her to quit picking on the nice old man.

As they run, one of the monkeys spot them, and signals the others saying he found them. As Luna and Torunka keep running, Luna turns her head slightly and says they have been spotted, which Torunka says he told her so. As they keep running Luna says to wait as she stops. She then lays a bunch of glass bottles on the ground. Torunka tells her this is no time to be playing around. Luna then turns a clock part on a minus staff next to her. The glass bottles then roll towards the monkeys, and cause them to lose their balance and start tumbling away. Luna says this is their chance, and for them to hurry, which they then run.

They're then shown to be walking on a mountain. Luna says that it seems like they're not coming after them anymore. Torunka however says that he dares not walk anymore, and lowers himself on the ground, tired. Luna says he's a boy, and to suck it up. Torunka however says that he is really an old man, and says he's not lifting one finger from this spot. After Luna tells him to suit himself, she lowers herslf, and puts her hand behind him, telling him he can piggyback. Torunka thanks her, and get's on. Luna then asks if the forest of Pojar is in the direction she is currently facing, to which he says yes. Torunka says to Luna that such a strong child she is. Luna however says she's not strong, and that she was always sick as a kid. Torunka though says that he can feel this heroic kind of strength from her. Luna however says that's not hers, and that he must be feeling the power of the person who's been protecting her for a long time. Torunka thinks It's Ancient Fairy dragon. Luna shakes her head, and says It's someone more close to her, someone who is always by her side.

Back in the real world with Leo

Leo begins his turn and draws "Morphtronic Celfon" in Attack Mode. Using its "Dial On" effect, "Celfon" stops on a 3 and lets Leo Special Summon "Morphtronic Remoten". Devack get's amused and says "Oh, a tuner huh?". Leo then uses "Level Mirroring" to change "Magnen I's" Level to that of "Magician's Ape". Leo's 3 monsters' Levels now add up to 7. He tunes the 3 monsters to Synchro Summon "Power Tool Dragon".

Trudge is glad to see Leo get a Synchro Monster out before his opponent, while Yusei is pleased to see how Leo's dueling while carefully looking at his opponets field, and says Leo has matured. Devack laughs and calls "Power Tool Dragon" a toy dragon, which suits a non-Signer, like Leo.

Leo tells Devack not to make a fool of him and uses "Power Tool Dragon's" effect to equip itself with "Break! Draw!". Using the "Crafty Break" attack, "Power Tool Dragon" attacks and destroys "Magician's Ape". Devack's Life Points drop to 2500 and Leo draws a card from "Break! Draw!". Leo ends his turn, telling Devack not to look down on him for not being a Signer, because he has the mightiest of all dragons on his side, and then says Power Tool Dragons name (after Leo says this, Power Tool Dragon roars as It's eyes become even more red).

Back in the spirit world

As Luna is walking and carrying Torunka, she asks him where the captured spirits are taken. He answers her and says that he suspects after being Minumized, they're all herded into Zeman the Ape King's castle. Luna asks if Zeman is the leader. Torunka says yes, and then says that nobody knows exactly where he came from, or what his true goals are. Luna than mutters Zemans name.

A carving of the stone Ancient fairy Dragon is sealed in is shown. A voice calls out "May those sealed powers be Minumized and come to me!". A staff is then shown and the clock part slightly turns. Right after, a lightning bolt shoots out of the sky and strikes the staff, making it disappear.

Zemans layer

A dark aura surrounds the staff Zeman is holding, causing it to vanish. Zeman get's mad and curses, saying that in order to completely turn Ancient Fairy Dragon into Minus, Regulus's presense will indeed be essential. The screen then pans over to all of the spirits that are in the tablets on the wall, and can be heard scared (in the dub, the spirits are not heard at all during this part).

Back with Leo's duel

Devack laughs at the idea of a minor duelist such as Leo doing so well in a battle determined by fate. Leo is displeased at being called minor and reminds Devack that he is risking his life and fighting. Devack announces that he shall offer this Duel to his God. He Summons "Dark Tuner Dark Ape". Leo and his spectators start to worry over the possible appearance of a Dark Synchro Monster. Devack then uses "Dark Wave" to reverse "Fighter Ape's" Level to -5. "Dark Tuner Dark Ape's" Level is subtracted from "Fighter Ape" as Devack Dark Tunes his monsters. In the Japanese version, he chants "The one chosen by darkness, I invite you to this world to become its ruler. Dark Synchro! Show yourself, Demonic Monkey King Zeman!". In the English version, he chants "When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals a world without light! Come forth, Zeman the Ape King!" as he Dark Synchro Summons "Zeman the Ape King".

Leo says he doesn't fear a Dark Synchro Monster as he has "Power Tool Dragon" on his side. Devack draws a card from "Dark Ape's" effect. He activates the card, "Closed Forest". Yusei begins to panic, since Devack now has a Field Card he can Summon an Earthbound Immortal. The field spell then produces a forest around them.

Back in the spirit world

Regulus confronts Luna and Torunka.

Luna and Torunka find themselves inside a dark part of the forest. Luna says this is the forest of Pojar, and that the fog has gotten thicker. Luna spots a leaf flying upwards on a tree, and notes that even there, things are moving negatively. Torunka tells her it is best to be on her guard, because as he said, Regulus has lost his composure. Luna calls Regulus's name, and says they need to talk. Torunka panics and runs in front of Luna, and tries to get her to be quiet, asking if she has any idea what will happen if they get attacked. Luna says not to worry, and that once they talk to him he'll understand. Luna then calls Regulus's name again, and says they're not his enemy. After saying this, a large white armored horned lion with a Cursed Needle attached to its leg jumps out in front of them. Torunka recognizes this being as Regulus. Luna asks if this is Regulus.

Differences in adaptations

The following changes were made in the English version:

  • Luna's "list" of things she sets herself that she must do is longer than in the original.
  • The stone Tablets that Luna's monsters are sealed in are edited to look more like dubbed anime cards, rather than official/original anime cards.
  • Torunka said Luna was part of a prophecy to save the spirit world. This was not present in the original

Mistakes

  • In the dub, Leo states that his Power Tool Dragon has more ATK than Devack's Zeman the Ape King. However, Zeman the Ape King (2500 ATK) is actually stronger than Power Tool Dragon (2300 ATK).

Changes to opening

Starting this episode a few changes were made to the Japanese opening theme.

  • Scenes with Jack dueling Carly and Aki dueling Misty are added.
