Episode 92

"A Tragic Reunion" (悲運の再会 Hiun no Saikai) is the ninety-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
As Yūya and Barrett's intense battle continues, Yūgo and Yūri encounter each other in nearby area. As all four of Yūya, Yūto, Yūgo, and Yūri's dragons appear on the field one by one, something abnormal occurs to Yūya once again! On the other hand, Roget, who is hellbent on capturing Yuzu, has sent Sergey to her location.

Summary
Yuzu runs through the streets of City, guided by her bracelet's glow. She desperately notes that something is happening to Yūya and she asks where he is. Her bracelet pulls her to the left, and she asks if it's this way before following it. The roars of the four dragons echo from the underground tunnel. Sora watches in horror as he remains trapped by "Antique Gear Hound Dog" and Reira screams, "No…no!" Serena falls to her hands and knees as her own bracelet pulses and she asks what is happening. Yūya is emitting darkness and his irises glow red. "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" roar as they emit darkness as well, and Yūya chokes in pain. "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" roars at the ceiling as Yūgo's eyes glow aqua and he chokes, while opposite him "Starve Venom Fusion Dragon" roars skywards as well and Yūri, whose eyes continue to glow purple chokes likewise. Yūya's head falls forwards and Yūto's form with glowing blue eyes briefly flickers across his body. Sora gasps Yūya's name in horror. Yūya ignores him, and he declares that they have waited, before both he and Yūto state that they have waited for this time. Yūgo states that now, now is the time of their revival…revival. Yūri states that they become one repeatedly. Meanwhile, Yuzu reaches the entrance of the building where Yūya and his counterparts are, and she asks her bracelet if it's this way. She looks up at the moon and a wind suddenly begins blowing, causing her to get a determined look on her face. The chains binding "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" slide around as they crane their necks up to the ceiling, mirroring "Clear Wing" and "Starve Venom". The sky has changed; a vortex now dominates it with the epicentre directly above them and colored green, blue, yellow, and purple. The green-jeweled Obelisk Force asks what is in the sky and the red-jeweled member states that it appeared out of nowhere. Yūri begins to walk forwards in a trance, and the yellow and red-jeweled Obelisk Force both call his name. Yūri walks towards Yūgo, both of them repeating "One…" Yūya and Yūto declare that they become one. Barrett asks what is happening and the dragons all roar again as they stare at the vortex. Serena watches in horror as her bracelet's glow intensifies in its pulse. Yūya screams, "Now we become ONE!"

Yuzu runs down the stairs and past Barrett screaming Yūya's name. Yūya screams and Yuzu stops and cries Yūya's name. Her bracelet glows and blinds Serena, Sora, Reira and the Obelisk Force, blasting Yūri and Yūgo away from one another. "Clear Wing" and "Starve Venom" are both blotted out by the light and Yūya is blasted into the ceiling. Yuzu screams Yūya's name and rushes forwards, Sora calling her name as she dashes past the Obelisk Force. Yūya crashes to the ground and Serena calls Yuzu's name as she runs past her. Serena looks at her bracelet and she muses that it stopped. Yuzu kneels down beside Yūya and she begs him to answer her. Yūya looks at Yuzu and he gasps her name before asking her why she is here. Barrett calls Yuzu's name and he observes that since their prey has come to them there is no longer any point in continuing this Duel. Serena gasps that this is bad and she urges Yuzu to get out of here. Barrett walks forwards and he orders Yuzu and Serena to come with him to the Professor.

Yūya snaps that that's not happening; he won't let Barrett have Yuzu or Serena and he will fight until the end. Yuzu and Serena gasp Yūya's name, and Barrett notes that due to the effect of "Beast-borg Medal of the Crimson Chain" Yūya cannot use any Magic or Trap Cards, nor can he Summon new monsters, but regardless he still wants to continue? Yūya states that he does; he will fight to the end. Barrett calls Yūya's resolve to protect his comrades quite impressive, and to Yūya's surprise Barrett states that Yūya has his respect as a fellow Duelist and warrior. He states that as Yūya wishes they will finish this Duel. As Barrett turns to return to his position Yuzu gasps Yūya's name. Yūya snaps at her, reminding her that Academia is their enemy, and he explains that he swore that he would never let her nor Serena be taken by Academia. He requests that Yuzu stand back.

Barrett declares that he now sees Yūya as an honorable warrior and as such he will not hold back against him. He reiterates his Battle Phase and attacks "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" with "Beastborg Panther Predator". "Panther Predator" slashes "Dark Rebellion", which is not destroyed due to the effect of "Medal of the Crimson Chain", though Yūya still takes battle damage, reducing him to 900 LP. Then he activates the effect of "Beast-borg Medal of the Iron Chain", which reduces the ATK of Yūya's monsters by the damage that he takes. The chains around "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" tighten and shock them, reducing them to 200 ATK. Barrett also activates the effect of "Beastborg Wolf Kämpfer" to inflict 300 damage to Yūya since he took battle damage. "Wolf Kӓmpfer" blasts rockets at Yūya, reducing him to 600 LP, and then the effect of "Medal of the Iron Chain" reduces the ATK of Yūya's two dragons to zero, as Sora observes. Barrett states that Yūya only has 600 LP which will be whittled away on his next turn; Yūya no longer has any way to win. Barrett ends his turn and he addresses Yūya as a valiant warrior, telling him that if he sees any glimmer of hope in this battle, then he should aim for it and fight back against Barrett. "Hope?" Yūya asks, and he looks at the sole card in his hand, "Smile World" and asks if it is hope. He sees his mother and father and he laments that he can't see it, he can't see what he has to do to connect this to hope. Suddenly a mighty crash echoes through the room. Yūya and Barrett turn in shock as Sergey smashes through the ceiling with his Duel Disk active. He declares his turn and Yūya, Serena and Yuzu recognize him, before Sergey's Duel Disk declares "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP" and he falls from 4000 to 2000 LP. His left eye zooms in on Yuzu, and the watching Jean-Michel Roget is pleased to see Yuzu. He muses on the fact that they found Yuzu Hīragi while chasing Serena and orders Sergey to capture Yuzu. Sergey activates the Field Magic Card "Earthbound Prison". Stone hands rise out of the ground, surrounding Yuzu and generating an energy bubble that imprisons her. Yūya asks if Yuzu is okay. Yuzu replies that she's fine. Sora watches as Yūya tells Yuzu to hold on; he'll get her out right away. Reira and Serena watch Sergey in fear, and Roget congratulates Sergey and muses that all that's left is to eliminate Academia and secure Serena, before he smiles and laughs. The vortex in the sky continues to swirl as it crackles with electricity. Sergey explains that "Earthbound Prison" negates all changes to ATK, and the player who destroys the card will have their LP halved and the effects of all monsters they control will be negated. Barrett furiously and rudely addresses Sergey for daring to interfere. He states that he won't permit anyone interfering with his honorable Duel with Yūya Sakaki. Sergey's red eye glows as he targets Barrett, who asks if Sergey is listening, before ordering Sergey to release Yuzu Hīragi and be gone from his sight. Sergey explains that since there is a Field Magic Card in play he can Special Summon "Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper" from his hand. Then he Summons the Tuner monster "Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker". Barrett calls Sergey scum and he asks if Sergey still plans to interfere. Sergey activates the Magic Card "Underworld Resonance - Synchro Fusion", which will allow him to simultaneously perform both a Fusion Summon and a Synchro Summon using monsters he controls. "Stone Sweeper" and "Line Walker" both split off shades of themselves and Barrett is shocked to see Synchro and Fusion Summoning at the same time. Sergey tunes the Level 5 "Stone Sweeper" with the Level 3 "Line Walker" and chants "Revive from the depths of the earth! Gigantic beast with wings of punishment! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Griffon!" Then he fuses the spectres of "Stone Sweeper" and "Line Walker" and chants "Prisoner that crawls across the earth, become one with the prisoner that walks the path of execution and become a gigantic beast that delivers out punishment! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!" "Behold!" Roget declares. This is a brand new strategy brought forth from a hybrid of the Dueling of Academia and City; a new era of Dueling that only someone like Roget could have created. He stands up from his desk and he orders Sergey to eliminate them and send that Duelist of old from Academia to his grave.

Sergey's eye swivels and he declares his Battle Phase, attacking "Wolf Kӓmpfer" with "Geo Kraken". "Geo Kraken" destroys "Wolf Kämpfer" with a swipe from its tentacles, reducing Barrett to 3400 LP. Barrett calls Sergey naïve; when "Wolf Kämpfer" is destroyed in battle he can Special Summon its Fusion Materials from the Graveyard. "Carrier Sentinel" and "Pitch-Black Warrior Warwolf" are both Special Summoned in Defense Position and Sergey follows up by attacking "Panther Predator" with "Geo Griffon". "Geo Griffon" destroys "Panther Predator" with a blast of darkness. Barrett falls to 2500 LP and he explains that when "Panther Predator" is destroyed its Fusion Materials can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. "Panther Warrior" and "Dark Sentinel" are both Special Summoned in Defense Position. Barrett admits that since he no longer controls any "Beastborg"'s his Continuous Trap Cards "Beast-borg Medal of the Iron Chain" and "Medal of the Crimson Chain" are destroyed. The chained stones dissolve and the chains binding Yūya and his dragons crumble. Yūya immediately runs to Yuzu and they call one another's names. Yuzu says "thank goodness" and Yūya asks her why she's saying that; Yuzu shouldn't be worried about others when she's trapped like this. Yūya touches the energy bubble surrounding Yuzu and it shocks him. He curses and mutters that he really can't go in or get Yuzu out. Barrett tells Yūya not to worry; he'll free Yuzu after he defeats Sergey, though they will of course have to be separated afterwards. Yūya retorts that he won't let that happen. Sergey asks that Barrett just said that he would defeat Sergey didn't he? Both he and Roget comment that they wonder about that. Barrett explains that all of his monsters are Fusion Materials, so he can use the effect of the Continuous Magic Card "Beastborg Fusioner" to fuse them into "Beastborg"'s on his next turn. Sergey states that Barrett will not have another turn. Barrett snaps that Sergey can't back that up. Sergey scans all of Barrett's monsters and he activates the effect of "Geo Kraken"; he can destroy all of his opponent's monsters that were Special Summoned on his turn. "Geo Kraken" glows purple and Barrett gasps, "What?" while Yūya is shocked that "Geo Kraken" can destroy all of them. Beams of purple light spear from "Geo Kraken"'s tentacles and destroy all of Barrett's monsters. Sergey explains that Barrett will take 800 damage per monster destroyed. The air begins to rumble and four giant yellow lights begin to build in intensity. Barrett cries out in shock as "Geo Kraken" blasts him backwards, reducing his LP to zero. Reira screams and covers his eyes as Barrett lands next to him and Serena. Serena and the Obelisk Force both call Barrett's name. Barrett groans Serena's name, lamenting that he wished he could have taken her back to the Professor himself. He touches his Duel Disk and activates the Dimension Move function by touching the "Xyz" button. Sora screams at Barrett to stop and begs him not to send Serena back. Yūya screams Serena's name and Barrett whispers her name before falling unconscious. His Duel Disk glows and both he and Serena are before falling unconscious. His Duel Disk glows and both he and Serena the Obelisk Force are horrified that Captain Barrett was taken. Roget screams at Sergey, calling him an imbecile for letting Serena escape. He states that Sergey  must at least capture Yuzu Hīragi and warns Sergey that he won't accept another failure. Yūya gasps that it can't be, and he states that he definitely won't let Sergey have Yuzu. Sergey drove Yuzu off the Duel Lane in his previous Duel, something that Yūya won't forgive him for. Yuzu whispers Yūya's name and Sergey Sets a card to end his turn.

Yūya declares his turn and he angrily draws a card. Yuzu begs Yūya not to let his anger control him. But Yūya is still furious and he activates the Magic Card "Magical Thunder". He can send a Magic Card from his hand to the Graveyard and destroy a card on the field. Roget muses that Yūya must be planning to destroy a monster with a Magic Card, but Sergey's Set card is "Earthbound Demon Seal", which activates when the opponent activates a Magic Card and destroys it. Sergey has already seen through everything that Yūya plans to do. Yuzu tells Yūya that he had such a scary expression earlier, like he was a different person. Yūya gasps and Yuzu states that it was like Yūya was changing into someone else. She cries that she doesn't ever want to see Yūya like that again. Yūya looks at "Smile World" and thinks "Dad…Mom…" He remembers his mother telling him to remember to smile wherever he went, and his father stating that Duels can make people happy and can make everyone smile. But Yūya laments that he can't make everyone smile as he is right now. But if it's just Yuzu then he can. He declares that he sends "Smile World" to the Graveyard and destroys a card. Sergey asks which monster Yūya will destroy, "Geo Griffon" or "Geo Kraken"? But Yūya proclaims that he will destroy the Field Magic Card "Earthbound Prison", and the sheer shock of his decision causes Sergey's eyes to roll back in his head and an error message to display. Roget urgently asks Sergey what is wrong and he urges him to use "Earthbound Demon Seal", telling him to hurry up or he will miss the timing. But it's too late; the stone hands are destroyed and Yuzu is freed. The shock buffers Yūya, and the error message disappears from Sergey's eye as he activates the effect of "Earthbound Prison", halving Yūya's LP and negating the effects of all monsters he controls. Purple light blasts from the card and Yūya falls to 300 LP. He turns to see Yuzu looking at her hands and she looks at Yūya in turn and smiles. Sora gasps in shock that even though Yūya knew he would take the damage he did it to save Yuzu. Yuzu runs forward and calls Yūya's name, but the Obelisk Force surround her and tell her that she's coming with them. Yūya cries Yuzu's name. "Hazy Shuriken!" Tsukikage calls. Three purple shuriken slam into the Obelisk Force and force them backwards. Tsukikage and a "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu" encircle Yuzu with their katana drawn against the Obelisk Force. Tsukikage warns the Obelisk Force that he will cut them down. The green-jeweled Obelisk Force curses another disturbance, and the red-jeweled Obelisk Force notes that they won't be able to hold their opponents off without Captain Barrett or Master Yūri. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force agrees that they should retreat, and the Obelisk Force teleport away with their Duel Disks, causing "Antique Gear Hound Dog" to dissolve and release Sora. Sora immediately tries to head for Yuzu, but Reira grabs his jacket and he protests that he doesn't want Sora to go. Tsukikage tells Yūya to Duel with his mind at ease and Yūya thanks him. He activates the Pendulum Effect of "Antithesis Magician" to grant the Rank 4 "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" a Level of 4 and "Antithesis" infuses "Dark Rebellion" with energy, making it Level 4. Then Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Synthesis Magician" to make the Level of "Dark Rebellion" equal to "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", and "Synthesis" fires an arrow, covering "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" in red and purple energy and increasing "Dark Rebellion" to Level 7. Yūya overlays his now Level 7 "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" and he chants "Dragon of dual-colored eyes, eradicate all enemies who oppose you with your scale of wrath! Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank 7! Dragon with eyes of rage! Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!" He declares his Battle Phase and attacks "Geo Griffon" with "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon". "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" runs its tusks through the ground as it attacks with "Sweeping Static Strike" and severs the wings of "Geo Griffon". Sergey's LP falls to 1500 and he activates the effect of "Geo Griffon" since an "Earthbound" monster was destroyed, allowing him to destroy a monster on the field. A specter of "Geo Griffon" appears and dashes through "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", destroying it. Yūya is horrified and Roget smugly declares that Yūya's turn is over; he cannot defeat Sergey. He tells Sergey to do it; this is the last turn. Sergey takes his turn and attacks directly with "Geo Kraken". "Geo Kraken" slams its tentacles into the ground and knocks Yūya into the air and then it electrocutes him. Yūya hits the ground hard and his LP falls to zero. Yuzu cries Yūya's name and runs forwards, and Tsukikage runs after her as he yells her name. "Capture her, Sergey!" Roget yells. Rocket boosters emerge from Sergey's legs and he boosts forwards. Tsukikage and "Shingetsu" attempt to block Sergey, but he swats them aside easily and destroys their katana. Sora grabs Yuzu and attempts to get her away, but Sergey brutally bashes Sora aside and grabs Yuzu. Yūya weakly whispers Yuzu's name and Sergey stops beneath the hole in the ceiling. Yūya realizes what is about to happen and he and Yuzu scream one another's names as Sergey blasts through the hole in the ceiling, flying through the air to the Security Headquarters.

Featured Duels
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Yūya Sakaki vs. Barrett
Yūya controls "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" in Attack Position, has "Antithesis Magician" and "Synthesis Magician" in his Pendulum Zones, has 1600 LP and one card in his hand. Barrett controls Beastborg Panther Predator and "Beastborg Wolf Kämpfer" in Attack Position and has the Continuous Magic Card "Beastborg Fusioner" and the Continuous Trap Cards "Beast-borg Medal of the Iron Chain" and "Beast-borg Medal of the Crimson Chain" face-up on his field. "Odd-Eyes" is targeted by the effect of "Iron Chain", while "Dark Rebellion" is targeted by the effect of "Crimson Chain". It is currently Barrett's turn.

Turn 3: Barrett

"Panther Predator" attacks "Dark Rebellion", but "Iron Chain" prevents its destruction by battle (Yūya: 1600 → 900 LP). Since Yūya took damage, the other effect of "Iron Chain" activates, reducing the ATK of all face-up monsters under Yūya's control equal to the damage he took ("Dark Rebellion": 900 → 200, "Odd-Eyes": 900 → 200). Since the damge Yūya took was battle damage, the effect of "Wolf Kämpfer" inflicts 300 more damage (Yūya: 900 → 600 LP), while the effect of "Iron Chain" activates again, decreasing the ATK of Yūya's monsters again. ("Dark Rebellion": 200 → 0, "Odd-Eyes": 200 → 0).

Sergey joins the Duel at this point, taking the 2000 LP intrusion penalty (Sergey: 4000 → 2000).

Turn 4: Sergey Sergey activates the Field Magic Card "Earthbound Prison", whose effect negates any effect that would change the ATK of a face-up monsters on the field. And if it is destroyed, halve the LP of the player that destroyed it and negate the effects of all face-up monsters they control. Since there is an active Field Magic Card, Sergey Special Summons "Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper" from his hand via its own effect. Next he Normal Summons "Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker". Sergey next activates "Underworld Resonance - Synchro Fusion", which allows him to target the two monsters on his field and simultaneously Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster and Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster from his Extra Deck, using those monsters as Materials. Via this effect, Sergey first tunes the Level 5 "Stone Sweeper" with the Level 3 "Line Walker" to Synchro Summon "Earthbound Servant Geo Griffon" in Attack Position. Followed by fusing "Stone Sweeper" with "Line Walker" on his field to Fusion Summon "Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken" in Attack Position. "Geo Kraken" attacks and destroys "Wolf Kämpfer" (Barrett: 4000 → 3400 LP). Since "Wolf Kämpfer" was destroyed by battle, Barrett activates its effect allowing him to Special Summon its Fusion Material Monsters from his Graveyard, so he Special Summons "Carrier Sentinel" and "Pitch-Black Warrior Warwolf", both in Defense Position. "Geo Griffon" attacks and destroys "Panther Predator" (Barrett: 3400 → 2500 LP). Since "Panther Predator" was destroyed by battle, Barrett activates its effect allowing him to Special Summon its Fusion Material Monsters from his Graveyard, so he Special Summons "Panther Warrior" and "Dark Sentinel", both in Defense Position. As there are no "Beastborg" monsters on the field, both "Iron Chain" and "Crimson Chain" are destroyed via their own effect. Since monsters were Special Summoned to his opponents side during his turn, Sergey activates the effect of "Geo Kraken", which once per turn allows him to destroy all monsters his opponent controls, and inflict 800 damage to his opponent for each monster destroyed. Via this effect the four monsters on Barrett's Field are destroyed, and inflicts 3200 of effect damage (Barrett: 2500 → 0 LP). Sergey Sets a card.

Turn 5: Yūya

Yūya draws and subsequently activates "Magical Thunder", by sending 1 Magic Card from his hand to the Graveyard, it allows him to target 1 card on the field and destroy it. Yūya sends "Smile World" to the Graveyard, and then targets and destroys "Earthbound Prison" via this effect. Since "Earthbound Prison" was destroyed, its effect activates, halving Yūya's LP (Yūya: 600 → 300 LP) and negating the effects of all face-up monsters he controls. Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Antithesis Magician", giving "Dark Rebellion" a Level equal to its current Rank ("Dark Rebellion": Rank Star 4 → CG Star 4). Next he activates the Pendulum Effect of "Synthesis Magician", changing the Level of "Dark Rebellion" to that of another monster he controls. He targets "Odd-Eyes" ("Dark Rebellion": CG Star 4 → 7). Yūya overlays his two Level 7 Dragon-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "The Supreme King Black Dragon - Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" in Attack Position. "Rebellion Dragon" attacks and destroys "Geo Griffon" (Sergey: 2000 → 1500 LP). Since a "Earthbound" monster was destroyed, the effect of "Geo Griffon" activates, letting him destroy 1 monster his opponent controls. "Rebellion Dragon" is destroyed via this effect.

Turn 5: Sergey

"Geo Kraken" attacks directly (Yūya: 300 → 0 LP).

Yūgo vs. Yūri
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Because of the interference from Yuzu's bracelet, the result of the Duel is unknown.
