Editing Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 009

Yuma asks where Tori is, and why Cathy would do something like this. She responds that it's because Yuma's hopeless. Yuma seems confused and tells her to just give Tori. Cathy turns around and says that she will if Yuma can beat her in a Duel. She then says that "if I win", then she stops and meows instead. Yuma questions if [[Number]]s are involved and Astral says that if that's the case, they have no choice but to win. Yuma tells him that there is no need to tell him that. Yuma sets up his [[D-Pad]] and [[Duel Gazer]], as he and Cathy face each other from opposite balconies overlooking the room. Cathy tells him that cats always dash forward, so she'll take the first [[turn]]. She [[activate]]s "[[Inviting Cat]]", adding a "[[Stray Cat]]" from her [[Deck]] to her hand. Yuma is surprised to see a [[Spell Card]] played already. She then activates the [[Continuous Spell Card]] "[[Cat Meeting]]", with Astral telling Yuma that as long as the conditions for activation are met, there is no limit to the amount of Spells she can use.

Cathy [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Stray Cat]]" and "Cat Meeting" allows her [[Special Summon]] another one from her hand. Yuma smiles, telling her that the no matter how many 100 [[ATK]] [[monster]]s she Summons, it's not a big deal. Cathy [[Set]]s a card and ends her turn. She tells him to [[attack]] whichever cat he wants. Yuma mentally promises to save Tori and then [[Draw a card|draws]]. Yuma Normal Summons "[[Achacha Archer]]", whose [[effect]] activates. It fires a flaming arrow at Cathy, dealing 500 [[Effect damage|damage]]. Cathy asks how he dares to pierce her heart like that, blushing. Yuma tells her to stop saying things that make no sense and begins to call for his attack. Astral tells him to wait, but Yuma tells him to be quiet. "Achacha Archer" nocks another arrow and trains his bow back and forward between the two "Stray Cats", but does not fire. Yuma asks why he's hesitating and tells him to attack the other cat. "Achacha Archer" does not attack either one. Cathy tells him that both of her cats are telling "Achacha Archer" to attack them. She licks her lips (cut from the dub) and reveals that as long as "Stray Cat" is in [[Attack Position]], the opponent can't attack any monster besides it. Yuma asks what that means, and Astral explains that he's in a tough spot - he can't attack either "Stray Cat", as the effect of the other prevents it.

Astral tells Yuma that there's only one way out of this. Yuma tells him he's annoying and reiterates that he should be quiet. Yuma walks forward and sits down, examining his hand and saying he'll save Tori with his own power. Cathy is annoyed that he's still talking about Tori - he's supposed be Dueling her. Yuma gets up and does a backflip, determining his move. He plays "[[Flip Flap]]", switching one of the "Stray Cats" to [[Defense Position]]. It appears hiding in a cardboard box. "Achacha Archer" attacks the Attack Position "Stray Cat", which turns around and roars, it's face demonic, surprising Achacha Archer before he fires. "Stray Cat" is [[destroy]]ed (the actual destruction is cut from the dub) and Cathy's [[Life Points]] drop to 2400.

Astral is impressed that Yuma came up with that move himself, commenting that he's different then he usually is, and Yuma yells that he'll save Tori again. Cathy is angry with the attention Yuma gives Tori, wanting it for herself and yelling that Yuma should be looking at her, not Tori. She activates he [[face-down]] "[[Mysterious Cat Transformation]]". She explains that it can only be activated when a "Stray Cat" is [[destroyed by battle]]. It Special Summons a "[[Monster Cat]]" from her hand, Deck, or [[Graveyard]]. She Special Summons one from her Deck in [[Attack Position]]. Its effect activates, destroying all [[Level]] 4 and lower monsters on Yuma's field and inflicting 800 damage to Yuma for each. "Achacha Archer" is destroyed and Yuma takes 800 damage. Cathy asks why Yuma won't notice her passionate feelings. Yuma Sets a card to end his turn.

Cathy draws and then activates the other effect of "Monster Cat", adding a "Stray Cat" from her Deck to her hand. She Normal Summons it, with Astral commenting that she now has three Level 1 monsters. Astral and Yuma both believe that the "Numbers" monster is coming. Cathy overlays her three monsters to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Twin Tail Cat Lady]]" in Attack Position. Both Yuma and Astral question where the "Numbers" is. Cathy activates the effect of "Cat Lady", [[detach]]ing an Overlay Unit to increase its [[ATK]] by 800. Yuma is impressed, and after Astral does the math for him, determines that in a few turns, her monster could have 3400 ATK. Yuma tells Cathy that was an awesome play. Cathy plays "[[Cat World]]", saying that she can use her [[Field Spell]] to change their world and their battlefield. It consists of a green meadow with many cats, and a giant cat statue in the center. She says this place is a paradise for cats - a world that contains only cats, Cathy and Yuma. The ATK of all "[[Cat]]" monsters on the field are increased by their [[Original ATK and DEF|original values]]. Therefore, "Cat Lady" has 2800 ATK. Cathy is pleased that Yuma is finally looking at her. She tells "Cat Lady" to capture Yuma's heart with a [[direct attack]]. Yuma's Life Points drop to 800, but he activates his face-down "[[Pixie Gong]]", explaining that when he receives a direct attack, he may Special Summon one monster from his Deck that has "[[Fairy (archetype)|Fairy]]" in its name in Attack Position. He Summons "[[Joe the Pixie]]", who appears in the air and dives down a bit, saying "Joe!" Cathy tells him that's fine and her turn.

Yuma again tells Cathy that she's awesome. She says that it only applies to the world of Dueling, and that's not good. When she appears in front of the person she wishes to impress in reality, she can't say a thing and he doesn't notice her. Yuma calls that person a horrible guy. Cathy says that no matter how much magic she used, nothing worked. But she is happy that she can at least connect with the person she loves through Dueling. Yuma tells her not to give up, and that she should say things like that directly to the person. Yuma tells her to "[[kattobingu]]". Cathy makes a pun, replacing "Kattobingu" with "Cattobingu". She says she'll confess. Yuma interrupts her, beginning his turn. Yuma activates the effect of the "[[Acorno]]" in his hand. By [[discard]]ing a card, he can Special Summon it. He discards "[[Pinecono]]", whose own effect activates - he may Special Summon it when its discarded.

Cathy tells him to wait, but Yuma overlays this three monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Baby Tiragon]]" in Attack Position. Yuma Normal Summons "[[Gagaga Magician]]" in Attack Position and uses its effect to change its Level to 1. Yuma activates the effect of "Baby Tiragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to let a Level 1 monster attack directly. Cathy again tells him to wait as "Gagaga Magician" attacks her with [[attack name|"Gagaga Magic"]] and dropping her to 900 Life Points. Yuma declares an attack on "Cat Lady" with "Baby Tiragon", with Astral warning him that "Baby Tiragon" doesn't have enough ATK. Yuma tells him he knows what he's doing and activates a [[Quick-Play Spell Card]] from his hand - "[[Ego Boost]]". This increases the ATK of "Baby Tiragon" by 1000, as a giant shadow appears behind it. Cathy whispers that she's always loved Yuma and "Ego Boost" drops the ATK of "Cat Lady" to its original value as it battles "Baby Tiragon". Cathy tries to confess her love again, but Yuma jumps up, yelling "kattobingu! as "Baby Tiragon" attacks with [[attack name|"Baby Stream"]]. Cathy's Life Points drop to zero, and Astral attempts to collect her "Numbers" before realizing she did not have one.

Yuma walks over to Cathy to help her up, also asking her where Tori is. Cathy blushes. Tori was at the park the whole time, playing with Cathy's cats. Yuma arrives and asks what she's doing. She laughs nervously. As they walk to school the next morning with Bronk, Tori tells them that she was forced to play with the cats and that Yuma should stop being so angry with her. [[File:8 - Cathy running past Yuma and his friends.png|thumb|left|Cathy running past Yuma and his friends.]]Yuma angrily insists that he's not angry with her. Tori notes that his tone of voice and attitude proves he "is" angry at her. Cathy walks up to them, blushing and softly says "Good morning." Yuma responds with "hey!" and Cathy walks off happily. Bronk asks who that was, and Tori tells him not be rude - that girl is their class. She finds she can't remember her name either though. Yuma tells them her name is Cathy, or Cat-chan and that she's a strong [[Duelist]]. Tori says she didn't know that and Bronk then asks Yuma if he had figured out who was messing with him. Yuma states he did not and Tori then says she has to go and walks ahead of them. Astral floats above and documents his eleventh observation - "Yuma still doesn't understand the feelings of the female species".

[[Cathy Katherine|Cathy]] [[activate]]s "[[Inviting Cat]]", letting her [[add a card|add]] a "[[Neko]]" or "[[Cat]]" [[Monster Card|monster]] from her [[Main Deck|Deck]] to your [[hand]]. She adds "[[Stray Cat]]" and then [[activate]]s "[[Cat Meeting]]", which will let her [[Special Summon]] a [[Level]] 3 or lower "Neko" or "Cat" monster from her hand when a "Neko" or "Cat" monster is [[Normal Summon]]ed. Cathy Normal Summons "Stray Cat" (100/300), then Special Summons another copy from her hand in [[Attack Position]] via "Cat Meeting" (100/300). She [[Set]]s a card and ends her [[turn]].

Yuma Normal Summons "[[Achacha Archer]]" (1200/600), whose [[card effect|effect]] activates, inflicting 500 [[effect damage|damage]] (Cathy 4000 → 3500). As there are two "Stray Cats" in [[face-up]] Attack Position, their effects prevent Yuma from attacking either. Yuma activates "[[Flip Flap]]", letting him change an Attack Position monster to [[Defense Position]]. He switches a "Stray Cat". "Achacha Archer" attacks and [[destroy]]s the Attack Position "Stray Cat" (Cathy 3500 → 2400). Cathy activates her [[face-down]] "[[Mysterious Cat Transformation]]", allowing her to Special Summon "[[Monster Cat]]" (0/0) from her Deck in Attack Position since Yuma destroyed one of her "Stray Cats". Its effect activates, destroying all Level 4 or lower monsters Yuma controls and inflicting 800 damage for each. "Achacha Archer" is destroyed (Yuma 4000 → 3200). Yuma Sets a card.

 

[[File:Twin Tail Cat Lady|thumb|left|"[[Twin Tail Cat Lady]]" is Summoned.]]Cathy activates the effect of "Monster Cat", adding another "Stray Cat" to her hand from her Deck. She Normal Summons "Stray Cat". Cathy [[Xyz Material|overlays]] her three Level 1 [[monster]]s to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Twin Tail Cat Lady]]" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. Cathy activates the effect of "Cat Lady", [[detach]]ing the [[Xyz Material|overlaid]] "Stray Cat" to increase its [[ATK]] by 800 (1000 → 1800). Cathy activates the [[Field Spell Card]] "[[Cat World]]", doubling the [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] of all "Neko" and "Cat" monsters she [[control]]s ("Cat Lady" 1800 → 2800). "Cat Lady" attacks [[Direct attack|directly]] (Yuma 3200 → 400). Yuma activates his [[face-down]] "[[Pixie Gong]]", letting him Special Summon a Level 3 or lower "[[Pixie]]" or "[[Fairy (archetype)|Fairy]]" monster from his Deck. He Special Summons "[[Joe the Pixie]]" (100/300) in Attack Position.

Yuma [[discard]]s his "[[Pinecono]]" to Special Summon "[[Acorno]]" (200/400) in Attack Position via the latter's effect. As it was [[send|sent]] to the Graveyard, the effect of "Pinecono" activates, Special Summoning it (400/200) in Attack Position. Yuma overlays his three Level 1 monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Baby Tiragon]]" (900/900) in Attack Position. Yuma Normal Summons "[[Gagaga Magician]]" (1500/1000) in Attack Position and activates its effect, letting him change its Level to any number between 1 and 8. He changes it to 1, then activates the effect of "Baby Tiragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to let a Level 1 monster attack directly. "Gagaga Magician" attacks directly (Cathy 2400 → 900). "Baby Tiragon" attacks "Cat Lady", with Yuma activating "[[Ego Boost]]" as he declared an attack, increasing the attacking monster's ATK by 1000 and returning the ATK of the [[attack target]] to its original value ("Baby Tiragon" 900 → 1900, "Cat Lady" 2800 → 1000). "Cat Lady" is destroyed (Cathy 900 → 0).
