Spotlights shine on Team YNR and Team King Luke's Kings in [[Goha Stadium]] as [[Oceania Illumilina]] recaps the point totals; YNR have 770 and so do King Luke's Kings, so it's a tie. [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]], [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]], [[Nail Saionji|Nail]], [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] and [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] all watch as Oceania declares that the deciding match of the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]] will soon begin; Yuga Ohdo vs. Luke. As the crowd cheers, a hologram of the crown of the [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]] around Oceania and she wonders just which team will take home the win and the title "King of Duels", excitedly crying that she can't wait as Yuga and Luke grin and face off.
At the [[Abandoned Dorm (SEVENS)|Abandoned Dorm]], [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]], [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]], [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]], [[Rayne]] and [[Rino]] are digging under the supervision of the [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]], Romin asking why she has to do this. Gavin replies that it's the collective responsibility of the [[Rush Duel Club]], while Luke is taking a "[[Piercing Dragon Bunker Strike (anime)|Bunker Strike]]" approach to his shovelling. [[Galian Townsend|Galian]], his own shovel in hand, warns Luke to be careful with his, as they are the ancestors of heavy machinery. Romin asks Galian why he's still here, and Galian replies that he came here himself; having lost GG03 all he can do is return the to the basics and confront his heavy machinery as he caresses' his shovel. Rayne wonders if Galian is suffering from GG03 Withdrawal Syndrome, and Gavin notes that Galian is in shock after all. They break for lunch, and when Romin wonders how long they'll have to do this, Yuga reassures her that they're the lowest of the low now and unlikely to be bothered, so they can take it easy. Gavin quietly asks Yuga what he means, given that they came here to learn the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club's secret, and Yuga confirms that they are, though Romin is skeptical given the high security. Yuga reassures them that the high security only applies to ''them'', and covertly indicates [[Kaizo]] and [[Seatbastian]] - or rather, the Roads he has disguised as them. Gavin asks where they are now, and Yuga explains that he sent them to Nexus, which Gavin and Romin realize that means Yuga has sent them to [[Nail Saionji|Nail]], and Yuga confirms that he wants to inform Nail about what's happening here, and suggests that he may know where [[Asana Mutsuba|Asana]] got [[Wyrm Excavator the Heavy Cavalry Draco (anime)|her]] [[Maximum Monster|Maximum]]. Right on cue, the oblivious Luke finishes eating and demands a massage from Seatbastian, forcing his friends to try and keep hm quiet.

[[File:Roa_and_Nail_discuss_Otes'_motives.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Roa]] and [[Nail]] discuss [[Otes]]' motives.]]
In the nearby forest, a Heavy Cavalry student hears a rustle in the bushes and goes to investigate, but only finds Seatbastian in his chair mode and decides to take a break. He has a short massage before being warned not to slack off by another Heavy Cavalry student, and they quickly rush off. Once the coast is clear, Seatbastian retreats into the bushes with Kaizo, lamenting at the notion of a background character sitting on a massage throne like him. Kaizo calls him "chair" and tells him to hurry up so they can escape, and Seatbastian insists that he is a throne, oblivious to the security camera recording him. The camera is being watched by the Heavy Cavalry club, who ask [[Schubel Quill|Schubel]] what they should do as [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] chirps from his shoulder, and Schubel orders them to deploy the "Empire", much to the surprise of his fellow club members, explaining that they can't let even a fly escape, a sentiment Pidgetrap chirps in agreement with.

The crowd, including the [[Post-Apocalyptic Club]], the Gourmet Comrades Team, the [[Newspaper Club]], [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiger]] and the [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]] all watch in excitement as the two teams begin rising on the hexagonal pillars. As Luke eagerly looks across the field, Romin and Gavin discuss what [[Otes]] meant when he mentioned the true meaning of the tournament. Gavin suggests that they may find out during the Duel between Yuga and Luke as his, Romin, Roa and Nail's platforms all come to a stop while Luke and Yuga's continue to ascend. Roa too is discussing the situation with Nail, commenting that regardless of his motives there's no question that the mastermind behind the tournament is Otes, and he had to have been responsible for [[Goha 66]]'s attempts to excavate the [[Goha Duel Server|Duel server]] too. They both note that they still don't know what Otes is after, and Roa adds that Yuga hasn't said anything either as usual, but does Nail think he already knows the truth. Nail replies that this time even Yuga doesn't seem fully confident about the answer yet and smiles as he comments that Yuga told him to be prepared for whatever happened, bemused at the notion of Yuga giving ''him'' orders but declaring it providence nonetheless...but Roa isn't listening, having called [[Tyler Getz|Tyler]] for an update. Down in the [[Garden of Curiosity]], Tyler tells him to shut up while he's busy, chowing down on food provided for him by [[Buff Grimes|Grimes]], and [[Toombs]] and yelling that he needs more sugar; Grimes runs off to comply while [[Kit Schrödinger|Kit]] holds the phone for Tyler and [[Seatbastian]] watches from the other side of the data. [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] meanwhile is furious that her staff still haven't found who wrote the business proposal, and [[Goha's secretary|her secretary]] and the other executive can only bow in apology, protesting that they're conducting a full-scale investigation. Mimi notes that whoever wrote the proposal has to be up to something and orders them to find out who it is; they immediately hurry away to comply.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Luke_asks_Yuga_not_to_hold_back_against_him.png|thumb|250px|[[Luke]] asks [[Yuga]] not to hold back against him.]]</div>
Back in the forest, Kaizo asks Seatbastian how far the Door of Curiosity is, and Seatbastian reminds him that it's the [[Gate of Curiosity|''Gate'' of Curiosity]] and is likely still some time away. Kaizo notes that Seven is still a while away, and Seatbastian once again corrects him that it is ''Nexus'', though he knows a shortcut. Kaizo suggests they hurry and meet Nile, and Seatbastian flicks him away in anger, reminding Kaizo that it is Master ''Nail'', spelling it out for Kaizo, who claims that's what he said. Seatbastian is embarrassed that Kaizo would slip up so and that he is a [[Goha Enterprises Drone|Drone]] like him. Kaizo accuses Seatbastian of being a traitorous chatterchair for cozying up to Asana because of her power and suggests he shouldn't talk, prompting Seatbastian to call him a piece of junk. Kaizo angrily asks if Seatbastian wants to fight again, and Seatbastian declares that they will settle the score this time. Kaizo suggests that the first to make it to Nail will win, and Seatbastian agrees, stating that Kaizo will apologize for his disrespect when he wins, while Kaizo claims that Seatbastian will have to bow until he breaks if he loses. They get ready to begin, but Kaizo claims to have seen a UFO and distracts Seatbastian long enough to get a head start, much to Seatbastian's anger. Despite this, Seatbastian is still confident he will win, given that only he and Nail he know the shortcut to Nexus.

In Goha Stadium, Luke comments that Romin has become pretty dependable to have beaten someone like Roa, and she stammers that she can get the job done when she needs to. Luke admits that he's glad to have her as a friend, and she blushes and thanks him. Luke adds that he never thought Gavin would be able to manage a draw with Nail of all people, much to Gavin's embarrassment and he sheepishly asks how little Luke thought of him. Luke states that he was able to get here because of them and thanks Romin and Gavin, much to their joy. He turns to face Yuga, reminding him how happy he is to be in the finals with him and Yuga agrees. Luke adds that he has no idea what kind of crazy things are happening in the tournament, but asks Yuga to promise not to hold back against him and lose on purpose no matter what happens, no matter their unbreakable friendship, he shouldn't give him the title of King of Duels as Mimi enters the arena. Yuga reassures Luke that he won't, and Luke grins, then adds that if Yuga really wants to he can, but Yuga explains that he's finally getting to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] with Luke here and will push onward on his road with all his might. Luke laughs that of course Yuga would say that, considering they've both been running their daors down at full power to win the crown (though Yuga weakly protests that he hasn't been doing that). Oceania thanks everyone for waiting and declares that it's time to begin the final match of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal and compresses her limbs into her fish costume, calling "Let's-a-go!" and Luke and Yuga both call "Let's go! Rush Duel!" as they insert their Decks into their [[Duel Disk]]s, deploying the blades and the green holographic sphere.

But as they run, they sky darkens and it begins to rain. As they move through the forest, Kaizo contacts Seatbastian, noting that it only takes 0.05 seconds for Drones to communicate with one another, and claims to be talking to himself, but notes that there's a nearby cave that it might be nice to shelter from the rain in. Seatbastian sighs, but he diverts from his path and finds Kaizo in the cave drying by a fire and sits down beside him. They exchange glances, but just as Seatbastian begins to speak a familiar voice calls "Drilling-drilling-drilling!" and a spinning object bursts from the ground in front of them and expands into a girl resembling [[Celestia Noodlina]], greeting the people of the surface and claiming to be a Subterranean from the Shiatsu Nether-Empire, introducing herself as [[Terra Kneadalina]]. Seatbastian asks in surprise if Celestia wasn't once of Nail's henchmen, though Terra claims to have never heard of an alien whose name is pronounced as "Celestia" and introduces herself again. Naturally, Kaizo is enthralled with her, but then Terra observes that this is one of the flies she can't let through, much to Kaizo's surprise, and she straps on a [[Duel Disk]], challenging them to a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]. The Drones are shocked by the challenge, and Seatbastian realizes that Terra is with [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]]. Terra challenges them to her "Shiastu" Duel, which will leave them unable to stand, and though Kaizo is eager to Duel her, Seatbastian insists that he will take on the challenge. Kaizo flies forwards to Duel anyway until Seatbastian contacts him and he retreats, Seatbastian claiming that pieces of junk should step back, as he has prepared for when this day would inevitably come. Seatbastian explains that this will be a fight between the massage chair and acupressure; the decisive battle to decide which best heals humanity. Kaizo asks what Seatbastian is on about, but Terra doesn't mind who Duels and just wants to start. Seatbastian politely asks her to accept his Duel, and they extend their Duel Disks, calling "Rush Duel!" and deploying the green holographic dome around them.

Yuga takes the first [[turn]], declaring his turn and [[Draw a card|drawing]] "[[Amazing Dealer (anime)|Amazing Dealer]]", but then he blanches at the sight of the rest of the cards in his [[hand]]; "[[Ice Age Catapult (anime)|Ice Age Catapult]]", "[[Full Meteor Impact (anime)|Full Meteor Impact]]", "[[Savage Claw Tiger (anime)|Savage Claw Tiger]]", and "[[Sevens Road Force]]". [[Asana Mutsuba|Asana]], Tiger, [[Schubel Quill|Schubel]] and [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] are surprised by his reaction, and Yuga nervously Summons "Amazing Dealer", then pays 300 [[LP]] to activate its effect, sending three cards from his hand to the [[Graveyard]] and drawing three cards. His LP falls to 3700 as he sends "Ice Age Catapult", "Full Meteor Impact" and "Savage Claw Tiger" from his hand to the Graveyard, then he draws "[[Surprising Barcode]]", "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", and "[[Kuribot (anime)|Kuribot]]". He Summons "Kuribot", then he stammers as he [[Tribute]]s his two monsters to [[Tribute Summon]], [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|chanting]] "T-The walls, the mountains, and even the planets that block my way—! Carve open a road through them all and press onward! L-Let's go! Sevens Road Magician!" Schubel celebrates the appearance of "Sevens Road" and [[Galian Townsend|Galian]] eagerly asks what will come next, but Yuga just sweats nervously as Romin notes that all he's done is paid 300 LP to Summon "Sevens Road Magician", and Gavin realizes that they've seen Yuga like this before; the day after Yuga installed Rush Dueling, during his first Rush Duel with Luke. Romin remembers in shock that Yuga was only able to Summon [[Dark Sorcerer (anime)|one low]]-[[Level]] monsters on his first turn against Luke and recalls Yuga's nervous reaction then, and Gavin admits that at least this is better than their last Duel. Asana ruefully notes that Yuga would have been doomed if he hadn't drawn "Amazing Dealer" and Galian, Schubel, Pidgetrap and [[Caterpillio Elephantis|Caterpillio]] all nod in agreement. Laughing nervously, Yuga [[Set]]s "Sevens Road Force" and "Surprising Barcode" and he ends his turn. Luke gruffly reminds Yuga that he promised nothing would get in the way of their Duel, not even a bad hand. Yuga is surprised, but then reassures Luke that he's got it, though Luke once again suggests that Yuga ''can'' lose if he wants. But Yuga vows that he'll definitely win this Duel, and Luke claims he knew Yuga would say that as Romin and Gavin laugh nervously.

[[File:Luke_quickly_overpowers_Yuga_with_his_Dragons.png|thumb|250px|Luke quickly overpowers Yuga with his [[Dragon]]s.]]
Seatbastian politely declares his turn and draws "[[Scarechair Relaxer (anime)|Scarechair Relaxer]]", which he adds to his hand, also containing "[[Scarechair Saber (anime)|Scarechair Saber]]", two copies of "[[Scarechair Gear (anime)|Scarechair Gear]]", and "[[Darkness Ri-chair-al (anime)|Darkness Ri-chair-al]]". Welcoming Terra to the Massage Chair Salon, he Summons "Scarechair Relaxer", then sends a card from his hand to the [[Graveyard]] (a "Scarechair Gear") to activate the effect of "Massage", sending the top two cards of his Deck to the Graveyard, and then if one of them was [[DARK]], he can add it to his hand, then increase Terra's [[LP]] by its [[ATK]]. Having sent a "[[Scarechair Bone (anime)|Scarechair Bone]]" and another "Massage" to his Graveyard, Seatbastian adds the zero ATK "Massage" to his hand as Terra notes that she basically gains nothing as a result. Seatbastian Summons his second "Scarechair Relaxer" and sends his other "Gear" from his hand to activate its effect, this time sending the third "Gear" and third "Massage" to the Graveyard and adding the third "Massage" to his hand, once again with zero ATK as Kaizo notes and Terra merrily sings. Seatbastian Summons his third "Scarechair Relaxer" and uses its effect as well, smiling and commenting "M-m-m-massage" as he sends "Saber" from his hand to the Graveyard and "[[Throne of Darkness (anime)|Throne of Darkness]]" and "[[Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair]]" form his Deck to the Graveyard, adding "Dahut" to his hand and revealing it to Terra. Kaizo cheerfully comments that "Dahut" has zero ATK too and calls it a scam recovery effect, though Terra doesn't seem too worried. Kaizo suggests contacting the Goha Customer Support Center, but Terra bumps him away and claims that flies should be quiet, prompting Kaizo to mute himself. Seatbastian declares that his massage has not ended yet and sends his three Chairs to the Graveyard to activate the [[Spell Card]] "Darkness Ri-chair-al", [[Special Summon]]ing "Throne of Darkness" from his Graveyard, then drawing another card since the three monsters he sent to the Graveyard to activate his Spell had the same name. Then since he has at least eight monsters in his Graveyard with zero ATK, Seatbastian activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness" to Special Summon "Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair" from his hand. Terra reacts with interest, and Seatbastian crows that while she was pretending to be healed, he completed all the preparations for his massage. But Terra asks if he's done, and to his shock, Seatbastian sees her lying on six drills, which she claims are the best for pressure points on the back. Seatbastian isn't happy, [[Set]]ting his "[[Power of the Throne]]" [[Trap Card]] and ending his turn, and once he's done so, Terra leaps off the drills, pleased that he's finally done.

Luke declares his turn and draws, then he examines his hand, containing "[[Triad Drago (anime)|Triad Drago]]", "[[Sportsdragon Pitcher (anime)|Sportsdragon Pitcher]]", "[[Dragorite (anime)|Dragorite]]", "[[Steel Force]]", and "[[7 Chance (anime)|7 Chance]]". He Summons three monsters - "Dragorite", "Sportsdragon Pitcher" and "Triad Drago", then activates the effect of "Triad Drago" to draw a card - "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]". Celebrating his draw, Luke Tributes "Triad Drago" and "Sportsdragon Pitcher" to Tribute Summon, chanting "Right now, in my galaxy, seven supernovas unleash a gamma-ray burst! Even if you tell me to stop, it's too late! Even if you tell me to stop, it's too late! There's a reason I said it twice. Come on out! Multistrike Dragon Dragias!" Luke sends "[[Volcano Attack Dragon (anime)|Volcano Attack Dragon]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the "[[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|Gias Charge]]" effect of "Dragias" and Yuga braces himself as Luke Sets two cards, then declares his [[Battle Phase]], ordering "Dragias" to attack "Sevens Road" with "Striking Light Bullet of Explosive Supremacy". "Dragias" blasts the green orbs from its body and reduces "Sevens Road" to a flickering flame, reducing Yuga to 3300 LP, and Romin celebrates Luke's depletion of Yuga's monsters, Gavin noting that Luke will win if he attacks with "Dragias" and "Dragorite". As the crowd watch breathlessly, Luke vows that he will defeat Yuga and become the King of Duels. The crowd gasps and Oceania descends on her platform, asking if Yuga Ohdo, the creator of Rush Dueling, will be defeated here. She believes that he will, and Luke orders "Dragias" to deal the finishing blow.

[[File:Yuga_reveals_seven_cards_to_stop_his_battle_damage_-_including_his_Maximum.png|thumb|left|250px|Yuga reveals seven cards to stop his [[battle damage]] - including his [[Maximum Monster|Maximum]].]]
She declares her turn and draws "[[Magmashiatsu]]", which she adds to her hand containing "[[Aromagmabear (anime)|Aromagmabear]]", two copies of "[[Tsuvolcano (anime)|Tsuvolcano]]", and "[[Magmassage (anime)|Magmassage]]", then Summons the two "Tsuvolcano" and her "Aromagmabear", before [[Tribute|Tributing]] one "Tsuvolcano" to [[Tribute Summon]] "Magmashiatsu". Seatbastian activates his "Power of the Throne" Trap by returning "Throne of Darkness" to his hand, explaining that it forces Terra to draw cards equal to the [[Level]] of the returned monster, and as "Throne of Darkness" was [[Level 8 Monster Cards|Level 8]], Terra draws eight new cards. Seatbastian adds that Terra will also be unable to attack monsters with zero ATK for the rest of the turn, insisting that her thumbs will not press anywhere. Terra asks if Seatbastian knows that it's called a thumbprint when one presses their thumb down, much to Seatbastian's irritation. Terra then sends "Magmassage" and her third "Tsuvolcano" from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Aromagmabear", gaining 3000 LP for each card she sent and claiming that acupressure will change one's life as her LP rises to 4600. Then she sends three cards (another "Magmashiatsu", Aromagmabear", and one other [[Effect Monster]]) from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Magmashiatsu", changing the Level of a monster by the same value. Seatbastian calls it a meaningless move as this does not change its ATK, but is shocked when Terra chooses to change the Level of ''"Dahut"'' by 3, reducing it to a [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]] monster with an acupressure session. Then she Tributes her remaining "Tsuvolcano" and her "Aromagmabear" to Tribute Summon "Magmassage". She sends a monster from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Magmassage", increasing the ATK of a Level 4 or lower monster by 500 for each monster she sent, and "Magmassage" blasts green lightning from its fingertips, increasing the ATK of ''"Dahut"'' to 500. And since it no longer has zero ATK, she can attack it, a move Seatbastian admits is surprisingly cunning. Terra Sets two cards and then declares her [[Battle Phase]], attacking "Dahut" with "Magmashiatsu", who destroys "Dahut" with a rapid barrage of thumbprints and reduces Seatbastian to 3000 LP. Then "Magmassage" [[direct attack|attacks directly]], blasting red lightning at Seatbastian that reduces him to 900 LP. Terra bows, declaring that they look forward to seeing him again and lying back on her six drills as she ends her turn.

But as "Dragias" attacks, it is enveloped in smoke, much to Luke's shock. The smoke clears to reveal a large pink and red-striped box on Yuga's side of the field next to his activated [[Trap Card]], "Surprising Barcode", which Yuga could activate since he took [[battle damage]]. He can reveal the top seven cards of his Deck, and if he [[excavate]]s five monsters, then he'll take no battle damage for the rest of the turn. As seven cards fly from the top of Yuga's Deck and into the box, Luke grins and comments that of ''course'' Yuga would have a Trap to counter this, though it'll take more than this to shock him. Yuga grins and suggests they open the box, which bursts open with a cloud of smoke in "Dragias'" face, much to the [[Dragon]]'s shock, and reveals the seven cards Yuga excavated - "[[Bascule the Moving Fortress (anime)|Bascule the Mobile Fortress]]", "[[Level Blast (anime)|Level Blast]]", "[[Bendorbreak the Conqueror (anime)|Bendorbreak the Conqueror]]", "[[Elemental Rush]]", "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (L) (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan [L]]]", "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]", and "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (R) (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan [R]]]". Oceania counts the five monsters among them; "Bascule", "Bendorbreak" and the three "Vast Vulcan" parts and declares that there are five monsters, so Yuga won't take any battle damage for the rest of the turn. But Gavin, Romin and Luke are all shocked to see the three parts of "Vast Vulcan", Yuga's [[Maximum Monster|Maximum]]. Yuga grins and he asks if Luke is surprised now. Oceania pops up to admit that she's definitely shocked, and Yuga reveals that he can return the seven cards to the top of his Deck in any order. He puts the three parts of "Vast Vulcan" on the top as he does so and Luke gasps in shock as Gavin notes that Yuga won't take any battle damage for the rest of the turn thanks to "Surprising Barcode" so it will be pointless for Luke to attack, while Romin adds that Yuga will draw his Maximum on his next turn. Roa congratulates Yuga and Nail notes that he not only overturned his overwhelming disadvantage, he gained a mental advantage as well and this is Yuga's bottomless strength. Luke can only end his turn in frustration.

Seatbastian vows that he's only just begun, and he declares his turn and draws four cards; "[[Scarechair Scale (anime)|Scarechair Scale]]", "Scarechair Saber", "[[Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair]]", and "[[Joining Chairs (anime)|Joining Chairs]]", in addition to his "Throne of Darkness". He Summons "Scarechair Scale" and activates its effect, returning two zero ATK monsters from his Graveyard to the bottom of his Deck, then Special Summons "Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair" from his Graveyard. Seatbastian then Summons "Scarechair Saber" and Tribute it and "Scale" to Tribute Summon, [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|chanting]] "Even if the king dies, the throne does not! Come forth, Throne of Darkness!" He thinks in satisfaction that he just needs to use the effect of "Dahut" on "Throne of Darkness" to increase its ATK to 4000, allowing him to settle this in one blow, but Terra activates a Trap Card, "[[Pressure Pointer Skill]]", gaining 500 LP for each monster on the field and claiming that "Pressure Pointer Skill" is also the heart of a Duel, as acupressure will change one's life, rising to 5600 LP. Seatbastian gasps "What?!" and Terra also reveals that all monsters Seatbastian controls will also gain 500 ATK until the end of the turn, rising them both to 500 ATK and preventing him from using the effect of "Dahut", who she gives another acupressure session. Seatbastian snaps that none of it hurts, much to her confusion, and he asks who she thinks he is; he is the ultimate massage chair, a massage throne that surpasses human fingers in terms of comfort. Since he has at last eight zero ATK monsters in his Graveyard, he activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness", chanting "It is time for a new king to sit upon the throne! Come forth! Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair!"

Yuga declares his turn and draws "Elemental Rush", "Level Blast", "Vast Vulcan [L]", "Vast Vulcan", and "Vast Vulcan [R]", and Gavin clenches his teeth as Romin cries that it's coming, while Luke braces himself. Yuga chants "No matter if volcanoes, glaciers, or meteors block my way!" "Providence!" Nail declares. "Rock!" Roa declares. "Pride!" Asana chants. "They'll carve a road through it all!" Yuga chants, and he, Nail, Roa and Asana chant "and flare up into a blaze!" The earth opens in a fissure behind Yuga as he chants "[[Maximum Summon]]! Come on out! Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan!" "Vast Vulcan" emerges with 3300 [[MAXIMUM ATK]] and Oceania cries that Yuga's Maximum Monster is here, stunning [[Tracker]] and Post-Apocalyptic Club, impressing Tiger and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club, and shocking [[Rayne]] and [[Rino]]. As Gavin and Romin rise up beside Luke in a hovering platform, Yuga tells Luke that he's keeping his promise to give this Duel his all and defeat Luke. He activates "The Inferno Blaze" effect of "Vast Vulcan", sending "Bascule the Moving Fortress" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to reduce the ATK of "Dragias" by 700, then inflict 700 damage to Luke. "Vast Vulcan" raises its hand and generates a magic circle, blasting four laughing fireballs at "Dragias" and reducing it to 1800 ATK, while flames gush past Luke and reduce him to 3300 LP. Yuga then sends "Bendorbreak the Conqueror" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate "The Ultimate Eruption" effect of "Vast Vulcan", reducing the ATK of "Dragias" by a further 800, and "Vast Vulcan" blasts a fireball from the draconian head on its right arm, reducing "Dragias" to 1000 ATK as Luke grits his teeth. Yuga Sets a card, then activates a [[Spell Card]], "Level Blast", inflicting damage to Luke equal to the [[Level]] of "Vast Vulcan" times 100, for a total of 1000 damage. Yellow light surrounds "Vast Vulcan", and Luke is engulfed by flaming energy, reducing him to 2300 LP. Gavin comments how merciless the assault is and laments that Yuga, who had previously been their ally, is now their enemy; to think that a day would come where a threat as strong as him would stand in their way. Yuga declares the finishing blow and orders "Vast Vulcan" to attack "Dragias" with "Vulcan Ignite Hyperdrive". As "Vast Vulcan" blasts a pillar of lava from its chest at "Dragias", Romin cries that Luke will lose if this attack destroys "Dragias", and Rayne laments that just as she thought a Maximum is too much even for Luke, but Gavin and Rino believe it isn't. The attack continues to approach Luke, and Romin screams his name.

[[File:Luke_plays_7_Chance.png|thumb|left|250px|Luke plays "[[7 Chance (anime)|7 Chance]]".]]
Seatbastian then activates the "[[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|Force of the Ys]]" effect of "Dahut Abyss", returning all zero ATK Chairs in his Graveyard to his Deck to reduce the ATK of "Throne of Darkness" by 300 for each monster returned, and then increasing the ATK of "Dahut Abyss" by 300 for each monster returned. "Throne of Darkness" returns to zero ATK, while "Dahut Abyss" rises to 2400 ATK as Terra calculates and freaks out about. Seatbastian boasts that a massage throne like him lacks a single pain point and sends "[[Collapsing Chairs (anime)|Collapsing Chairs]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the "Force of Ys" effect of "Dahut", who sits upon "Throne of Darkness" to gain 500 ATK times its Level, rising to 4500 ATK. Terra panics, and Seatbastian Sets a card, then declares that he will send her to an eternal rest with the best massage she has ever had. "Dahut" attacks "Magmashiatsu" with "Yscrew Burning", destroying it with a blast of blue energy and reducing Terra to 2600 LP with a panicked scream. Then "Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair" attacks "Magmassage" with "Ys Burning Screw", destroying it and reducing her to 2300 LP with a wail. At the end of the turn, the ATK of Seatbastian's monsters returns to normal, and he bows politely, ending his turn. He thinks that he'll be able to rub Terra out if he can survive until the next turn, and he is counting on his fellow chairs.

Luke swiftly activates a Trap Card, much to Yuga's shock, "7 Chance". An oversized slot machine appears by Luke and he puts his hand on the lever, explaining that he can regain 3000 LP if he gets two [[Level 7 Monster Cards|Level 7]] or higher monsters, and if he gets three he'll get an extra 1500 LP. He backflips into "Dragias", then emerges to slam down the lever and spin the machine, which quickly reveals the first card - "[[Dragonic Slayer (anime)|Dragonic Slayer]]", as Romin notes, while Gavin points out that it's Level 7. Luke eagerly suggests they keep going, but the next spin is "[[Treasure Dragon (anime)|Treasure Dragon]]" and Rayne laments that it's too bad that it's [[Level 3 Monster Cards|Level 3]]. Luke grimaces, but claims he still has a chance, and the final spin lands...on "[[Steel Strike Dragon Metagias (anime)|Steel Strike Dragon Metagias]]", a Level 7 monster. Luke, Romin, Gavin, Rayne and Rino all celebrate the result and as Luke draws the three cards Gavin gasps that "Metagias" is Luke's new [[Signature card|ace]]. Yuga gasps in shock and Roa comments that this time Luke has a card they've never seen before, Nail agreeing that he isn't to be underestimated. Rino celebrates that now Luke will gain 3000 LP, bringing him to 5300 LP. Then the attack of "Vast Vulcan" connects and destroys "Dragias", reducing Luke to 3000 LP. Gavin congratulates Luke and Romin cheers that he held out against the attacks of "Vast Vulcan". Luke grins and he asks Yuga how that was, and Yuga admits that it's as expected of Luke, while Mimi and the Goha executives are all shocked by how evenly matched Yuga and Luke are.

[[File:The_Solid_Vision_begins_to_flicker.png|thumb|250px|The [[Solid Vision]] begins to flicker.]]
Terra declares her turn and draws five cards, then Summons two "[[Anmagmabear (anime)|Anmagmabear]]", which she promptly Tributes to Tribute Summon, chanting "Greetings from the underground! Melt the earth, [[Magmax Mantleveda (anime)|Magmax Mantleveda]]!" Seatbastian activates a Trap Card, "Joining Chairs", changing "Dahut" and "Dahut Abyss" to [[Defense Position]], and Terra asks him why he's doing that. Seatbastian explains that she will be unable to attack "Throne of Darkness" while he controls his other monsters, but Terra simply declares herself the rumored golden finger from underground and sends another "Magmassage" from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the "Soothing Sleep Max" effect of "Magmax Mantleveda", destroying all monsters Seatbastian controls with the same Level as the one she sent to the Graveyard. Seatbastian gasps that "Magmassage" is Level 7, realizing what this will mean, and Terra lies down on her drills and bids him goodnight as "Magmax Mantleveda" rushes forwards and rapidly hits "Dahut" and then "Dahut Abyss" with a flaming thumb, destroying them both. Seatbastian can only cry "What?!" and Terra tells "Magmax Mantleveda" to hit the finishing point, ordering her to attack with "Sound-Sleep Beddy-Bye Attack of the Thumb", destroying "Throne of Darkness" and reducing Seatbastian's LP to zero, blasting him into the cave wall and badly damaging him.

But then the [[Solid Vision|holograms]] of "Vast Vulcan" and "Dragorite" begin to flicker, and Roa realizes that this has happened before. Nail agrees that there was also an outage during his Duel with Gavin and checks his tablet, noting that there have been no reports of any weather or equipment failures that could cause power outages in [[Goha City]], so there must be another cause. Luke calls Yuga's name, and Yuga nods, then Roa rings Tyler for an update. Tyler (with Kit still holding the phone for him) excitedly declares that he's found in, and Roa yanks the phone away from his ear as Tyler explains that something really bad is happening in the tournament - someone, somewhere, is trying really hard to hack [[Goha Enterprises|Goha]]'s servers. Yuga is pleased to finally know what is happening, but Roa, Mimi and the Goha executives are all shocked, Mimi declaring that the hacker has some nerve taking on the fortress of Goha Enterprises, ordering the executives to hurry and block the hack. As they move to comply Luke comments that he thinks he's starting to get what's going on, but Goha's secretary then informs Mimi that even the entire staff have been unable to get a grasp on the current status of the hack (as the other executive flap around uselessly in the background). Mimi growls in frustration and to her secretary's shock she leaps onto a hovering platform. Nail notes that Tyler's report confirms the unauthorized access took place at the very beginning of the tournament, but the reason it didn't come to light until now was because it was very cleverly camouflaged (ignoring Mimi's frantic demands for Nail to fix the problem). Nail notes that it's also more than just a simple hack, much to Gavin's shock and he asks what that means. Mimi doesn't care, since shutting down the physical server can stop further unauthorized access, but her embarrassed secretary has to admits that he doesn't ''know'' where the Goha Duel Server is, and on considering it, neither does Mimi. Nail notes that there's nothing they can do in response to the hack if the server's location is unknown, admitting that it's a clever strategy.

But despite his loss, Seatbastian is laughing, much to Terra's confusion. He explains that his duty was not to win, but to prolong the Duel for as long as possible, and Terra realizes that Kaizo is gone. Seatbastian confirms that Kaizo is fulfilling his promise to him; before the Duel, Seatbastian told Kaizo to find Nail while Seatbastian fulfilled his promise to Nail to protect Yuga and his friends; Kaizo can fly faster and thus it was better for him to go on ahead. He had ordered Kaizo to promise him to reach Nail, and Kaizo had agreed, but only as long as Seatbastian promised not to die here, as they still had to settle the score. Seatbastian confirms that was what they said to one another, and Terra huffs and drills into the ground.

Luke comments that Yuga likely already has an idea of what's going on, but before Yuga can respond [[Booster Page]] calls out to him, waving his [[Hubbel Space Binoculars]] as [[Lionel Alec|Leo]] and [[Valencia Siegle|Valencia]] enter the stadium carrying a projector. Booster explains that they managed to find what Yuga asked them for according to his instructions and Luke asks in surprise how Booster and his friends know Yuga. Yuga explains that they ran into them by chance and he had a thought; the mastermind instigated the actions of Goha 66 to distract everyone from their true purpose. So if they were distracted looking underground, then the mastermind's true goal would be ''space''. Everyone looks up at the sky in shock and Valencia calls "Standby, OK!" in English, while Leo declares that their film is rolling and Booster explains that per Yuga's instructions they used their Hubbel Space Binoculars to look up, up and up, and with the help of Nail they used a program that could analyze the lunar surface as accurately as possible. They zoom in on the surface of the moon, revealing a large hexagon on the surface with something lying in the center. Gavin wonders if it's man-made and Romin asks if it's a pattern, and even Nail admits that he's never seen anything like this. As the film zooms in further on the hexagon, it shows it to be made up of several walls in jagged patterns, surrounded by multiple [[Goha Enterprises Drone]]s, and Roa realizes what it is. Nail confirms that this is the Goha Duel Server, or rather the Duel Program itself, much to Mimi's shock. Nail explains that the Duel Program needs to be protected from vandalism and any unforeseen natural disasters, so the surface of the moon was chosen rather than a location on [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], but even in space the dangers of cosmic radiation and space debris must be considered. Mimi agrees as Nail explains that Goha chose to dig a trench on the moon to record the program, likely deeper than five meters. Romin asks if it's data, but Mimi understands the concept; it's like a huge gramophone records, and Gavin is shocked that the Goha Duel Server was something so analogue given how the company boast of being at the cutting edge of science and technology. Nail confirms that the data is digital, if a little primitive, but there's no sturdier system in the world.  
  
At Goha #6 Elementary, Schubel is horrified that the Empire's security was broken; the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club have just received a reports stating that "the fly got away, but it's time for me to return home". Pidgetrap and Schubel are confused by the statement, but then Asana enters the room, Schubel calling her "Princess". Meanwhile alarms are sounding at the Abandoned Dorm, and as Gavin wonders what happened, Yuga deduces that Kaizo and Seatbastian must have escaped successfully, and he suggests they go now that security has been loosened. Romin asks where they're going, and Yuga points at the mine, stating that they're going to search for the truth.

Luke has spotted the figure in the center of the server, and Romin wonders if it's a human as the footage zooms in, but Gavin recognizes it - it's what Yuga drew earlier. Luke gasps that it's the Luke Robot, but Romin and Gavin remind him that it's the [[Super Rush Robot|Rush Duel Robot]]. The [[Duel Dinosaur Club]], Post-Apocalyptic Club, [[Newspaper Club]] (with [[Scoop Pitman|Scoop]] taking frantic notes and [[Nico (SEVENS)|Nico]] taking pictures), Tiger and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club (with Caterpillio having removed his mask in shock), [[Janko Entant|Janko]], his aides and the [[Dueling Insects Club]] all look at the images in shock and Booster declares that this is the first time that the public has ever laid eyes on the physical Rush Duel Program Data.

Meanwhile, Kaizo has successfully reached the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] and is searching for the shortcut to Nexus, finally finding it in a trash can by a vending machine and telling Nail to come out, as Seatbastian told him about the shortcut, but finds himself trapped by the lid and drawn in, dropped into Nail's haven where he is reading. Nail comments that the shortcut should have been something that only he and Seatbastian knew about, and Kaizo flies up to Nail's eyeline, explaining that Seatbastian told him about the shortcut, much to Nail's surprise. Kaizo claims that Seatbastian should be here soon, as he's a high-performance massage throne and should be all right.
+
But Roa notices that the Rush Robot looks a little damaged, and everyone gasps as they realize that hundreds of Goha Enterprises Drones are chipping away at the structure. Mimi cries that it's being eroded, so is the Rush Duel Program being destroyed? Roa and Nail gasp and Galian cries "W-What?" Asana realizes something and she whispers that this is bad, much to Galian and Tiger's surprise. Tyler confirms that Nail was right and this isn't just a hack, much to the surprise of Kit, Grimes and Toombs. Roa asks what Tyler means and Yuga notes that its the true purpose of the tournament.
  
But in the forest outside the cave, the sun shines on the battered Seatbastian, and he laments that it seems he couldn't fulfill Kaizo's promise before shutting down.

And deep below Goha Stadium, Otes stands atop [[The Relic]] with an information screen in front of him noting the progress of the operation, noting that this is Real-Time Rush Duel Uninstall with a smile on his face.

And at Goha #6 Elementary, Asana declares that the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club will completely crush Rush Dueling, and for that reason she will challenge Yuga to one last match. Schubel asks what she means, with Pidgetrap chirping in confusion, and Asana explains that in order to make Yuga bet his Rush Dueling she will bet Heavy Cavalry Duels in her challenge. Schubel protests over what will happen in the unlikely case that Asana loses, but Asana insists that she's prepared for the consequences and will crush Rush Dueling with her own hands. But then an emergency is declared: Yuga and his friends have escaped and gone into the underground tunnels. Asana gasps "What?!" as the cameras show the false Roads he used and the open mine entrance, and within the mine Yuga leads Romin, Luke, Gavin, Rayne and Rino, all using their Duel Disks as lights and back in their normal clothes as they venture deeper into the tunnels.

She sends "Magmashiatsu" and chooses "Dahut" ("Dahut": 0/2400 → 500/2400). Terra Sets two cards. "Magmashiatsu" attacks and destroys "Dahut" (Seatbastian: 4000 → 3000 LP). "Magmassage" attacks Seatbastian directly (Seatbastian: 3000 → 900 LP).
 
 
 
<u>'''Turn 3: Seatbastian'''</u><br/>
 
Seatbastian draws "[[Scarechair Scale (anime)|Scarechair Scale]]", "Scarechair Saber", "[[Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair]]", and "[[Joining Chairs (anime)|Joining Chairs]]". Seatbastian's hand contains "Throne of Darkness", "Scarechair Scale", "Saber", "Dahut Abyss" and "Joining Chairs". Seatbastian Normal Summons "Scarechair Scale" (0/100). As Seatbastian controls no other monsters, he activates the effect of "Scale", returning two monsters with 0 ATK from his Graveyard to the bottom of his Deck in any order to Special Summon a Level 7 or higher monster with 0 ATK from his Graveyard in Attack Position. He returns two copies of the 0 ATK "Relaxer" to the bottom of his Deck and Special Summons "Dahut" (0/2400) in Attack Position. Seatbastian Normal Summons "Scarechair Saber" (0/1400). Seatbastian Tributes "Saber" and "Scale" to Tribute Summon "Throne of Darkness" (0/2500). As Seatbastian Normal Summoned a monster while Terra has a Pyro Type monster in her Graveyard, she activates her Set Trap Card "[[Pressure Pointer Skill]]", allowing her to gain 500 LP for each monster Seatbastian controls (Terra: 4600 → 5600 LP), then have all face-up monsters Seatbastian controls gain 500 ATK until the end of the turn ("Throne of Darkness": 0/2500 → 500/2500) ("Dahut": 0/2400 → 500/2400). Seatbastian activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness", Special Summoning "Dahut Abyss" from his hand (0/2400) in Attack Position. Seatbastian activates the effect of "Dahut Abyss", returning any number of monsters with 0 ATK from his Graveyard to his Deck to choose a face-up monster on the field and have that monster lose 300 ATK for each monster returned, then have "Dahut Abyss" gain 300 ATK for each monster returned. He returns his three "Gear", "Bone", two "Saber", "Relaxer", and "Scale" to his Deck and chooses "Throne of Darkness" ("Throne of Darkness": 500/2500 → 0/2500) ("Dahut Abyss": 0/2400 → 2400/2400). Seatbastian activates the effect of "Dahut", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to choose another face-up monster he controls with 0 ATK to have "Dahut" gain ATK equal to that monster's Level x 500. He sends "[[Collapsing Chairs (anime)|Collapsing Chairs]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard and chooses "Throne of Darkness" ("Dahut": 500/2400 → 4500/2400). Seatbastian Sets a card. "Dahut" attacks and destroys "Magmashiatsu" (Terra: 5600 → 2600 LP). "Dahut Abyss" attacks and destroys "Magmassage" (Terra: 2600 → 2100 LP). At the end of the turn, the effects of "Dahut", "Dahut Abyss", and "Pressure Pointer Skill" expire ("Dahut": 4500/2400 → 0/2400) ("Dahut Abyss": 2400/2400 → 0/2400).
 
 
 
<u>'''Turn 4: Terra'''</u><br/>
 
Terra Normal Summons two copies of "[[Anmagmabear (anime)|Anmagmabear]]" (100/100). Terra Tributes both "Anmagmabear" to Tribute Summon "[[Magmax Mantleveda (anime)|Magmax Mantleveda]]" (2400/1500). As Terra Normal Summoned a monster while Seatbastian controls three Attack Position monsters with 0 ATK, Seatbastian activates his Set Trap Card "Joining Chairs", changing two Attack Position monsters he controls to face-up [[Defense Position]]. In addition, while Seatbastian controls a Defense Position monster, Terra cannot target Attack Position monsters Seatbastian controls for attacks this turn. He changes "Dahut" and "Dahut Abyss" to face-up Defense Position. Terra activates the effect of "Mantleveda", sending a Pyro Tyro monster from her hand to the Graveyard to destroy all face-up Defense Position monsters on the field with the same Level as that monster. She sends the Level 7 "Magmassage" to her Graveyard and destroys the Level 7 "Dahut" and "Dahut Abyss". "Mantleveda" attacks and destroys "Throne of Darkness" (Seatbastian: 900 → 0 LP).

"Battle Royal Revelations", known as "Road vs. Daor" in the Japanese version, is the fifty-first episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime. It first aired in Japan on June 6, 2021, will air in Australia on January 21, 2023, and will become available for streaming on Hulu on January 24, 2023.

It's the last round of the currently-tied final match, and Yuga and Luke vow to fight with all their strength. Yuga pushes forward his Road with his burning "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan"! Luke rushes down his Daor with his howling "Multistrike Dragon Dragias"! To the final battle betting the title of "King of Duels", let's go! Rush Duel!

Summary

Spotlights shine on Team YNR and Team King Luke's Kings in Goha Stadium as Oceania Illumilina recaps the point totals; YNR have 770 and so do King Luke's Kings, so it's a tie. Yuga, Roa, Nail, Luke, Romin and Gavin all watch as Oceania declares that the deciding match of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal will soon begin; Yuga Ohdo vs. Luke. As the crowd cheers, a hologram of the crown of the King of Duels around Oceania and she wonders just which team will take home the win and the title "King of Duels", excitedly crying that she can't wait as Yuga and Luke grin and face off.

Roa and Nail discuss Otes' motives.

The crowd, including the Post-Apocalyptic Club, the Gourmet Comrades Team, the Newspaper Club, Tiger and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club all watch in excitement as the two teams begin rising on the hexagonal pillars. As Luke eagerly looks across the field, Romin and Gavin discuss what Otes meant when he mentioned the true meaning of the tournament. Gavin suggests that they may find out during the Duel between Yuga and Luke as his, Romin, Roa and Nail's platforms all come to a stop while Luke and Yuga's continue to ascend. Roa too is discussing the situation with Nail, commenting that regardless of his motives there's no question that the mastermind behind the tournament is Otes, and he had to have been responsible for Goha 66's attempts to excavate the Duel server too. They both note that they still don't know what Otes is after, and Roa adds that Yuga hasn't said anything either as usual, but does Nail think he already knows the truth. Nail replies that this time even Yuga doesn't seem fully confident about the answer yet and smiles as he comments that Yuga told him to be prepared for whatever happened, bemused at the notion of Yuga giving him orders but declaring it providence nonetheless...but Roa isn't listening, having called Tyler for an update. Down in the Garden of Curiosity, Tyler tells him to shut up while he's busy, chowing down on food provided for him by Grimes, and Toombs and yelling that he needs more sugar; Grimes runs off to comply while Kit holds the phone for Tyler and Seatbastian watches from the other side of the data. Mimi meanwhile is furious that her staff still haven't found who wrote the business proposal, and her secretary and the other executive can only bow in apology, protesting that they're conducting a full-scale investigation. Mimi notes that whoever wrote the proposal has to be up to something and orders them to find out who it is; they immediately hurry away to comply.

Luke asks Yuga not to hold back against him.

In Goha Stadium, Luke comments that Romin has become pretty dependable to have beaten someone like Roa, and she stammers that she can get the job done when she needs to. Luke admits that he's glad to have her as a friend, and she blushes and thanks him. Luke adds that he never thought Gavin would be able to manage a draw with Nail of all people, much to Gavin's embarrassment and he sheepishly asks how little Luke thought of him. Luke states that he was able to get here because of them and thanks Romin and Gavin, much to their joy. He turns to face Yuga, reminding him how happy he is to be in the finals with him and Yuga agrees. Luke adds that he has no idea what kind of crazy things are happening in the tournament, but asks Yuga to promise not to hold back against him and lose on purpose no matter what happens, no matter their unbreakable friendship, he shouldn't give him the title of King of Duels as Mimi enters the arena. Yuga reassures Luke that he won't, and Luke grins, then adds that if Yuga really wants to he can, but Yuga explains that he's finally getting to Rush Duel with Luke here and will push onward on his road with all his might. Luke laughs that of course Yuga would say that, considering they've both been running their daors down at full power to win the crown (though Yuga weakly protests that he hasn't been doing that). Oceania thanks everyone for waiting and declares that it's time to begin the final match of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal and compresses her limbs into her fish costume, calling "Let's-a-go!" and Luke and Yuga both call "Let's go! Rush Duel!" as they insert their Decks into their Duel Disks, deploying the blades and the green holographic sphere.

Yuga panics when he draws a bad hand.

Yuga takes the first turn, declaring his turn and drawing "Amazing Dealer", but then he blanches at the sight of the rest of the cards in his hand; "Ice Age Catapult", "Full Meteor Impact", "Savage Claw Tiger", and "Sevens Road Force". Asana, Tiger, Schubel and Pidgetrap are surprised by his reaction, and Yuga nervously Summons "Amazing Dealer", then pays 300 LP to activate its effect, sending three cards from his hand to the Graveyard and drawing three cards. His LP falls to 3700 as he sends "Ice Age Catapult", "Full Meteor Impact" and "Savage Claw Tiger" from his hand to the Graveyard, then he draws "Surprising Barcode", "Sevens Road Magician", and "Kuribot". He Summons "Kuribot", then he stammers as he Tributes his two monsters to Tribute Summon, chanting "T-The walls, the mountains, and even the planets that block my way—! Carve open a road through them all and press onward! L-Let's go! Sevens Road Magician!" Schubel celebrates the appearance of "Sevens Road" and Galian eagerly asks what will come next, but Yuga just sweats nervously as Romin notes that all he's done is paid 300 LP to Summon "Sevens Road Magician", and Gavin realizes that they've seen Yuga like this before; the day after Yuga installed Rush Dueling, during his first Rush Duel with Luke. Romin remembers in shock that Yuga was only able to Summon one low-Level monsters on his first turn against Luke and recalls Yuga's nervous reaction then, and Gavin admits that at least this is better than their last Duel. Asana ruefully notes that Yuga would have been doomed if he hadn't drawn "Amazing Dealer" and Galian, Schubel, Pidgetrap and Caterpillio all nod in agreement. Laughing nervously, Yuga Sets "Sevens Road Force" and "Surprising Barcode" and he ends his turn. Luke gruffly reminds Yuga that he promised nothing would get in the way of their Duel, not even a bad hand. Yuga is surprised, but then reassures Luke that he's got it, though Luke once again suggests that Yuga can lose if he wants. But Yuga vows that he'll definitely win this Duel, and Luke claims he knew Yuga would say that as Romin and Gavin laugh nervously.

Luke quickly overpowers Yuga with his Dragons.

Luke declares his turn and draws, then he examines his hand, containing "Triad Drago", "Sportsdragon Pitcher", "Dragorite", "Steel Force", and "7 Chance". He Summons three monsters - "Dragorite", "Sportsdragon Pitcher" and "Triad Drago", then activates the effect of "Triad Drago" to draw a card - "Multistrike Dragon Dragias". Celebrating his draw, Luke Tributes "Triad Drago" and "Sportsdragon Pitcher" to Tribute Summon, chanting "Right now, in my galaxy, seven supernovas unleash a gamma-ray burst! Even if you tell me to stop, it's too late! Even if you tell me to stop, it's too late! There's a reason I said it twice. Come on out! Multistrike Dragon Dragias!" Luke sends "Volcano Attack Dragon" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the "Gias Charge" effect of "Dragias" and Yuga braces himself as Luke Sets two cards, then declares his Battle Phase, ordering "Dragias" to attack "Sevens Road" with "Striking Light Bullet of Explosive Supremacy". "Dragias" blasts the green orbs from its body and reduces "Sevens Road" to a flickering flame, reducing Yuga to 3300 LP, and Romin celebrates Luke's depletion of Yuga's monsters, Gavin noting that Luke will win if he attacks with "Dragias" and "Dragorite". As the crowd watch breathlessly, Luke vows that he will defeat Yuga and become the King of Duels. The crowd gasps and Oceania descends on her platform, asking if Yuga Ohdo, the creator of Rush Dueling, will be defeated here. She believes that he will, and Luke orders "Dragias" to deal the finishing blow.

Yuga reveals seven cards to stop his battle damage - including his Maximum.

But as "Dragias" attacks, it is enveloped in smoke, much to Luke's shock. The smoke clears to reveal a large pink and red-striped box on Yuga's side of the field next to his activated Trap Card, "Surprising Barcode", which Yuga could activate since he took battle damage. He can reveal the top seven cards of his Deck, and if he excavates five monsters, then he'll take no battle damage for the rest of the turn. As seven cards fly from the top of Yuga's Deck and into the box, Luke grins and comments that of course Yuga would have a Trap to counter this, though it'll take more than this to shock him. Yuga grins and suggests they open the box, which bursts open with a cloud of smoke in "Dragias'" face, much to the Dragon's shock, and reveals the seven cards Yuga excavated - "Bascule the Mobile Fortress", "Level Blast", "Bendorbreak the Conqueror", "Elemental Rush", "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan [L]", "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan", and "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan [R]". Oceania counts the five monsters among them; "Bascule", "Bendorbreak" and the three "Vast Vulcan" parts and declares that there are five monsters, so Yuga won't take any battle damage for the rest of the turn. But Gavin, Romin and Luke are all shocked to see the three parts of "Vast Vulcan", Yuga's Maximum. Yuga grins and he asks if Luke is surprised now. Oceania pops up to admit that she's definitely shocked, and Yuga reveals that he can return the seven cards to the top of his Deck in any order. He puts the three parts of "Vast Vulcan" on the top as he does so and Luke gasps in shock as Gavin notes that Yuga won't take any battle damage for the rest of the turn thanks to "Surprising Barcode" so it will be pointless for Luke to attack, while Romin adds that Yuga will draw his Maximum on his next turn. Roa congratulates Yuga and Nail notes that he not only overturned his overwhelming disadvantage, he gained a mental advantage as well and this is Yuga's bottomless strength. Luke can only end his turn in frustration.

Yuga declares his turn and draws "Elemental Rush", "Level Blast", "Vast Vulcan [L]", "Vast Vulcan", and "Vast Vulcan [R]", and Gavin clenches his teeth as Romin cries that it's coming, while Luke braces himself. Yuga chants "No matter if volcanoes, glaciers, or meteors block my way!" "Providence!" Nail declares. "Rock!" Roa declares. "Pride!" Asana chants. "They'll carve a road through it all!" Yuga chants, and he, Nail, Roa and Asana chant "and flare up into a blaze!" The earth opens in a fissure behind Yuga as he chants "Maximum Summon! Come on out! Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan!" "Vast Vulcan" emerges with 3300 MAXIMUM ATK and Oceania cries that Yuga's Maximum Monster is here, stunning Tracker and Post-Apocalyptic Club, impressing Tiger and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club, and shocking Rayne and Rino. As Gavin and Romin rise up beside Luke in a hovering platform, Yuga tells Luke that he's keeping his promise to give this Duel his all and defeat Luke. He activates "The Inferno Blaze" effect of "Vast Vulcan", sending "Bascule the Moving Fortress" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to reduce the ATK of "Dragias" by 700, then inflict 700 damage to Luke. "Vast Vulcan" raises its hand and generates a magic circle, blasting four laughing fireballs at "Dragias" and reducing it to 1800 ATK, while flames gush past Luke and reduce him to 3300 LP. Yuga then sends "Bendorbreak the Conqueror" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate "The Ultimate Eruption" effect of "Vast Vulcan", reducing the ATK of "Dragias" by a further 800, and "Vast Vulcan" blasts a fireball from the draconian head on its right arm, reducing "Dragias" to 1000 ATK as Luke grits his teeth. Yuga Sets a card, then activates a Spell Card, "Level Blast", inflicting damage to Luke equal to the Level of "Vast Vulcan" times 100, for a total of 1000 damage. Yellow light surrounds "Vast Vulcan", and Luke is engulfed by flaming energy, reducing him to 2300 LP. Gavin comments how merciless the assault is and laments that Yuga, who had previously been their ally, is now their enemy; to think that a day would come where a threat as strong as him would stand in their way. Yuga declares the finishing blow and orders "Vast Vulcan" to attack "Dragias" with "Vulcan Ignite Hyperdrive". As "Vast Vulcan" blasts a pillar of lava from its chest at "Dragias", Romin cries that Luke will lose if this attack destroys "Dragias", and Rayne laments that just as she thought a Maximum is too much even for Luke, but Gavin and Rino believe it isn't. The attack continues to approach Luke, and Romin screams his name.

Luke plays "7 Chance".

Luke swiftly activates a Trap Card, much to Yuga's shock, "7 Chance". An oversized slot machine appears by Luke and he puts his hand on the lever, explaining that he can regain 3000 LP if he gets two Level 7 or higher monsters, and if he gets three he'll get an extra 1500 LP. He backflips into "Dragias", then emerges to slam down the lever and spin the machine, which quickly reveals the first card - "Dragonic Slayer", as Romin notes, while Gavin points out that it's Level 7. Luke eagerly suggests they keep going, but the next spin is "Treasure Dragon" and Rayne laments that it's too bad that it's Level 3. Luke grimaces, but claims he still has a chance, and the final spin lands...on "Steel Strike Dragon Metagias", a Level 7 monster. Luke, Romin, Gavin, Rayne and Rino all celebrate the result and as Luke draws the three cards Gavin gasps that "Metagias" is Luke's new ace. Yuga gasps in shock and Roa comments that this time Luke has a card they've never seen before, Nail agreeing that he isn't to be underestimated. Rino celebrates that now Luke will gain 3000 LP, bringing him to 5300 LP. Then the attack of "Vast Vulcan" connects and destroys "Dragias", reducing Luke to 3000 LP. Gavin congratulates Luke and Romin cheers that he held out against the attacks of "Vast Vulcan". Luke grins and he asks Yuga how that was, and Yuga admits that it's as expected of Luke, while Mimi and the Goha executives are all shocked by how evenly matched Yuga and Luke are.

The Solid Vision begins to flicker.

But then the holograms of "Vast Vulcan" and "Dragorite" begin to flicker, and Roa realizes that this has happened before. Nail agrees that there was also an outage during his Duel with Gavin and checks his tablet, noting that there have been no reports of any weather or equipment failures that could cause power outages in Goha City, so there must be another cause. Luke calls Yuga's name, and Yuga nods, then Roa rings Tyler for an update. Tyler (with Kit still holding the phone for him) excitedly declares that he's found in, and Roa yanks the phone away from his ear as Tyler explains that something really bad is happening in the tournament - someone, somewhere, is trying really hard to hack Goha's servers. Yuga is pleased to finally know what is happening, but Roa, Mimi and the Goha executives are all shocked, Mimi declaring that the hacker has some nerve taking on the fortress of Goha Enterprises, ordering the executives to hurry and block the hack. As they move to comply Luke comments that he thinks he's starting to get what's going on, but Goha's secretary then informs Mimi that even the entire staff have been unable to get a grasp on the current status of the hack (as the other executive flap around uselessly in the background). Mimi growls in frustration and to her secretary's shock she leaps onto a hovering platform. Nail notes that Tyler's report confirms the unauthorized access took place at the very beginning of the tournament, but the reason it didn't come to light until now was because it was very cleverly camouflaged (ignoring Mimi's frantic demands for Nail to fix the problem). Nail notes that it's also more than just a simple hack, much to Gavin's shock and he asks what that means. Mimi doesn't care, since shutting down the physical server can stop further unauthorized access, but her embarrassed secretary has to admits that he doesn't know where the Goha Duel Server is, and on considering it, neither does Mimi. Nail notes that there's nothing they can do in response to the hack if the server's location is unknown, admitting that it's a clever strategy.

The Duelstronauts's footage reveals the Goha Duel Server on the surface of the moon.

Luke comments that Yuga likely already has an idea of what's going on, but before Yuga can respond Booster Page calls out to him, waving his Hubbel Space Binoculars as Leo and Valencia enter the stadium carrying a projector. Booster explains that they managed to find what Yuga asked them for according to his instructions and Luke asks in surprise how Booster and his friends know Yuga. Yuga explains that they ran into them by chance and he had a thought; the mastermind instigated the actions of Goha 66 to distract everyone from their true purpose. So if they were distracted looking underground, then the mastermind's true goal would be space. Everyone looks up at the sky in shock and Valencia calls "Standby, OK!" in English, while Leo declares that their film is rolling and Booster explains that per Yuga's instructions they used their Hubbel Space Binoculars to look up, up and up, and with the help of Nail they used a program that could analyze the lunar surface as accurately as possible. They zoom in on the surface of the moon, revealing a large hexagon on the surface with something lying in the center. Gavin wonders if it's man-made and Romin asks if it's a pattern, and even Nail admits that he's never seen anything like this. As the film zooms in further on the hexagon, it shows it to be made up of several walls in jagged patterns, surrounded by multiple Goha Enterprises Drones, and Roa realizes what it is. Nail confirms that this is the Goha Duel Server, or rather the Duel Program itself, much to Mimi's shock. Nail explains that the Duel Program needs to be protected from vandalism and any unforeseen natural disasters, so the surface of the moon was chosen rather than a location on Earth, but even in space the dangers of cosmic radiation and space debris must be considered. Mimi agrees as Nail explains that Goha chose to dig a trench on the moon to record the program, likely deeper than five meters. Romin asks if it's data, but Mimi understands the concept; it's like a huge gramophone records, and Gavin is shocked that the Goha Duel Server was something so analogue given how the company boast of being at the cutting edge of science and technology. Nail confirms that the data is digital, if a little primitive, but there's no sturdier system in the world.

The Super Rush Robot is revealed on the moon.

Luke has spotted the figure in the center of the server, and Romin wonders if it's a human as the footage zooms in, but Gavin recognizes it - it's what Yuga drew earlier. Luke gasps that it's the Luke Robot, but Romin and Gavin remind him that it's the Rush Duel Robot. The Duel Dinosaur Club, Post-Apocalyptic Club, Newspaper Club (with Scoop taking frantic notes and Nico taking pictures), Tiger and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club (with Caterpillio having removed his mask in shock), Janko, his aides and the Dueling Insects Club all look at the images in shock and Booster declares that this is the first time that the public has ever laid eyes on the physical Rush Duel Program Data.

Otes monitors events from underground.

But Roa notices that the Rush Robot looks a little damaged, and everyone gasps as they realize that hundreds of Goha Enterprises Drones are chipping away at the structure. Mimi cries that it's being eroded, so is the Rush Duel Program being destroyed? Roa and Nail gasp and Galian cries "W-What?" Asana realizes something and she whispers that this is bad, much to Galian and Tiger's surprise. Tyler confirms that Nail was right and this isn't just a hack, much to the surprise of Kit, Grimes and Toombs. Roa asks what Tyler means and Yuga notes that its the true purpose of the tournament.

And deep below Goha Stadium, Otes stands atop The Relic with an information screen in front of him noting the progress of the operation, noting that this is Real-Time Rush Duel Uninstall with a smile on his face.

The Duel is conducted as a Rush Duel.

Turn 1: Yuga
Yuga's hand contains "Ice Age Catapult", "Full Meteor Impact", "Savage Claw Tiger", and "Sevens Road Force". Yuga draws "Amazing Dealer". Yuga Normal Summons "Amazing Dealer" (0/1000). As Yuga has three or less monsters in his Graveyard, he activates the effect of "Amazing Dealer", paying 300 LP (Yuga: 4000 → 3700 LP) to send three cards from his hand to the Graveyard, then draw three cards. Yuga sends "Ice Age Catapult", "Full Meteor Impact", and "Savage Claw Tiger" from his hand to the Graveyard and draws "Surprising Barcode", "Sevens Road Magician", and "Kuribot". Yuga Normal Summons "Kuribot" (300/200). Yuga Tributes "Kuribot" and "Amazing Dealer" to Tribute Summon "Sevens Road Magician" (2100/1500). Yuga Sets "Sevens Road Force" and "Surprising Barcode".

Turn 2: Luke
Luke's hand contains "Triad Drago", "Sportsdragon Pitcher", "Dragorite", "Steel Force", and "7 Chance". Luke Normal Summons "Triad Drago" (300/1300), "Sportsdragon Pitcher" (0/1000), and "Dragorite" (1500/0). As Yuga controls a Level 7 or higher monster and Luke controls two non-Level 3 Dragon Type monsters, Luke activates the effect of "Triad Drago", drawing a card. He draws "Multistrike Dragon Dragias". Luke Tributes "Triad Drago" and "Pitcher" to Tribute Summon "Multistrike Dragon Dragias" (2500/1500). Luke activates the effect of "Dragias", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to allow it to declare a second attack this turn if it destroys a monster Yuga controls by battle. Luke sends "Volcano Attack Dragon" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Luke Sets two cards, then "Dragias" attacks and destroys "Sevens Road Magician" (Yuga: 3700 → 3300 LP). As Yuga took battle damage from Luke's attacking monster, he activates his Set Trap "Surprising Barcode", excavating the top seven cards of his Deck and revealing them, and if he excavates five or more monsters with this effect, he takes no battle damage for the rest of this turn. Afterwards, Yuga returns the excavated cards to the top of the Deck in any order. Yuga excavates "Bascule the Mobile Fortress", "Level Blast", "Bendorbreak the Conqueror", "Elemental Rush", "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan [L]", "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan", and "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan [R]", so he takes no battle damage for the rest of the turn, then he places "Elemental Rush", "Level Blast", "Vast Vulcan [L]", "Vast Vulcan", "Vast Vulcan [R]", "Bascule", and "Bendorbreak" on the top of his Deck.

Turn 3: Yuga
Yuga draws "Elemental Rush", "Level Blast", "Vast Vulcan [L]", "Vast Vulcan", and "Vast Vulcan [R]". Yuga Maximum Summons "Vast Vulcan", "Vast Vulcan [L]", and "Vast Vulcan [R]", entering Maximum Mode (3300 MAXIMUM ATK). As "Vast Vulcan" is in Maximum Mode, Yuga activates the effect of "Vast Vulcan [R]", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to choose a face-up monster on the field to have it lose ATK equal to its Level x 100 until the end of the turn, the inflict damage to Luke equal to that monster's Level x 100. Yuga sends "Bascule" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard and chooses the Level 7 "Dragias" ("Dragias": 2500/1500 → 1800/1500)(Luke: 4000 → 3300 LP). As "Vast Vulcan" is in Maximum Mode, Yuga activates the effect of "Vast Vulcan [L]", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to choose a face-up monster Luke controls and have it lose 800 ATK until the end of this turn, then Yuga can destroy a Field Spell Luke controls, and if he does, Luke takes 800 damage. Yuga sends "Bendorbreak" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard and chooses "Dragias" ("Dragias": 1800/1500 → 1000/1500). Yuga Sets a card. Then, as both players control a Level 7 or higher monster, Yuga activates the Spell "Level Blast", choosing a monster he controls to inflict damage to Luke equal to its Level x 100, but he can only attack with one monster this turn. Yuga chooses the Level 10 "Vast Vulcan" (Luke: 3300 → 2300 LP). "Vast Vulcan" attacks "Dragias", but since a Level 7 or higher monster Yuga controls declared an attack, Luke activates his Set Trap "7 Chance", drawing three cards and revealing them, and if he draws two or more Level 7 monsters, he gains 1500 LP for each Level 7 or higher monster he drew with this effect. Luke draws the Level 7 "Dragonic Slayer", the Level 3 "Treasure Dragon", and the Level 7 "Steel Strike Dragon Metagias" (Luke: 2300 → 5300 LP). The attack continues and "Dragias" is destroyed (Luke: 5300 → 3000 LP).

Duel continues in the next episode.
