"The Howling Whirlwind - Yosen Lost Tornado!" is the thirty-first episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. It first aired in Japan on November 9, 2014.

Yuya’s first Duel in the Maiami Championship finally begins! His opponent is the one who once suffered great humiliation, Sawatari!! Yuya is determined not to lose, and challenges the “Yosenju” monsters with all he's got!! On the other hand, Sawatari shows himself in a new “form” and by using the Yosenju monsters, his revenge scenario cannot be stopped!

Featured Duel: Yuya Sakaki vs. Shingo Sawatari

At the start of the Duel, the Field Spell Card "Ruined Castle of the Sunset" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.

Turn 1: Yuya
Since there are no monsters on the field, Yuya Normal Summons "Performapal Drumming Kong" (1600/900) without tributing, reducing its Level to 4. Yuya Sets a card.

Turn 2: Shingo
Shingo draws the Continuous Spell Card "Yokai Shrine of Trials" and activates it, which gains 1 Yosen Counter every time he Normal or Special Summons a "Yosenju" monster. Shingo Normal Summons "Yosenju Kamaitachi" (1600/500) ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 0 → 1) and activates its effect, which lets him Normal Summon another "Yosenju" monster, except "Kamaitachi". He Normal Summons "Yosenju Kamanitachi" (1800/200) ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 1 → 2), and activates its effect, that also lets him Normal Summon another "Yosenju" monster, except "Kamanitachi". He Normal Summons "Yosenju Kamamitachi" (1500/800) ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 2 → 3). At this point, he reveals the 3 Yosen Counters that were placed on "Shrine of Trials". Shingo activates the other effect of "Kamaitachi", which lets him target 1 face-up card Yuya controls and return it to the hand. He returns "Drumming Kong". Shingo attacks directly with "Kamaitachi", and Yuya activates the Continuous Trap Card "Performapal Pinch Helper", which lets him negate a direct attack and Special Summon a "Performapal" monster with 800 ATK or less from his Deck with its effects negated. He negates the attack of "Kamaitachi" and Special Summons "Performapal Kaleidoscorp" (100/2300) in Defense Position. At this point, Shingo declares a direct attack with "Kamanitachi" by using its effect, which lets it halve the battle damage it inflicts to attack directly (Yuya 4000 → 3100). Since a "Yosenju" other than "Kamamitachi" inflicted battle damage to the opponent, Shingo activates the effect of "Kamamitachi", which lets him add a "Yosenju" card from his Deck to his hand. He adds "Yosenju Oyamabiko". He also activates the effect of "Shrine of Rituals", removing 3 Yosen Counters ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 3 → 0) to add another "Yosenju" card from his Deck to his hand, he adds "Mayosenju Daibak". He Sets a card, and during his End Phase, the effects of "Kamaitachi", "Kamanitachi" and "Kamamitachi" activate, returning them to the hand since they were Normal Summoned this turn.

Turn 3: Yuya
Yuya draws "Timegazer Magician". Yuya places "Stargazer Magician" and "Timegazer Magician" in his Pendulum Zones, then Pendulum Summons "Performapal Drumming Kong" and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (2500/2000). Yuya attacks with "Odd-Eyes", but Shingo activates the effect of "Yosenju Oyamabiko" from his hand, send another "Yosenju" monster from his hand to the Graveyard in order to Special Summon itself. He sends "Yosenju Kodama" and Special Summons "Oyamabiko" in Attack Position ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 0 → 1), and due to its effect, its ATK and DEF become equal to the original ATK of the monster who attacked ("Oyamabiko" ?/? → 2500/2500). At this point, Yuya activates the effect of "Drumming Kong", targeting "Odd-Eyes" to have it gain 600 ATK ("Odd-Eyes" 2500/2000 → 3100/2000). "Odd-Eyes" destroys "Oyamabiko", and since it was a Level 5 or higher monster, the battle damage inflicted by "Odd-Eyes" is doubled (Shingo 4000 → 2800). Since "Oyamabiko" was destroyed by battle, Shingo activates its effect, adding another "Oyamabiko" from his Deck to his hand.

Turn 4: Shingo
Shingo draws. He then Normal Summons "Kamaitachi" ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 1 → 2), activating its effect to Normal Summon "Kamanitachi" ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 2 → 3), and also activating the later's effect to Normal Summon "Kamamitachi" ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 3 → 4). Shingo uses the effect of "Kamanitachi" to attack directly by halving the battle damage it inflicts (Yuya 3100 → 2200). He activates the effect of "Kamamitachi" again, adding "Yosenju Sarenjinchu" from his Deck to his hand. He then activates the effect of "Shrine of Rituals", removing 3 Yosen Counters ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 4 → 1) to add "Yosenju Urenjinchu" from his Deck to his hand. Shingo places "Urenjinchu" and "Sarenjinchu" in his Pendulum Zones, then activates the effect of "Sarenjichu"; since he has a "Yosen" card in his other Pendulum Zone, he increases its Pendulum Scale to 11 ("Sarenjichu" Scale 5 → 11). Shingo Pendulum Summons "Mayosenju Daibak" (3000/300) ("Shrine of Rituals" Yosen Counter 1 → 2), and activates its effect, letting him target up to 2 cards on the field and return them to the hand; he targets "Timegazer" and "Stargazer", but before he resolves the effect, since he controls "Daibak", he activates his Set "Dizzying Wind of the Yosen Realm", so that when a card that's not a "Yosenju" card would return from the field to the hand, it's shuffled into the Deck instead. Both resolve, thus "Timegazer" and "Stargazer" are shuffled into Yuya's Deck. By paying 800 LP, he also activates "Yosen Tornado". On his End Phase, "Kamaitachi", "Kamanitachi" and "Kamamitachi" return to the hand, triggering the effect of "Yosen Tornado", which lets Shingo return a card from the field to the hand every time a "Yosenju" monster he controls returns to the hand. Since 3 "Yosenju" returned to the hand, he chooses to return Yuya's "Kaleidoscorp", "Performapal Pinch Helper" and "Drumming Kong", and due to "Dizzying Wind", they are shuffled into the Deck instead. Finally, the effect of "Daibak" activates, returning itself to the hand since it was Special Summoned this turn, and thanks to "Tornado" and "Dizzying Wind", he shuffles "Odd-Eyes" into Yuya's Deck.

Turn 5: Yuya
Yuya draws and Sets two cards.

Duel continues in the next episode.
