Episode 53

""Smile World" - A Duel Filled With Smiles" (のデュエル　「スマイル・ワールド」  Egao no Dyueru "Sumairu Wārudo" ) is the fifty-third episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
Through his duel with his mother Yōko, Yūya learns of the legacy that his father Yūshō has left behind - that is, a fiery passion towards dueling. Fully determined to battle against the different dimensions, Yūya makes a promise with his mother to save Yuzu and Sora! And then, the day of departure comes. To all the Lancers' surprise, Reiji announces a completely unexpected destination for this trip!

Yūya Sakaki vs. Yōko Sakaki
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 2: Yōko

Yōko ends her turn. The effects of "Smile World" and "Legendary Boss Red Queen the Biker Goddess" expire, so "Entermate Helprincess" and "Entermate Warrior Tiger" return to Yūya's field, and the ATK of all monsters on the field return to their original value ("Warrior Tiger" 400 → 1700; "Helpprincess" 400 → 1200; "Red Queen" 2300 → 2000).

Turn 3: Yūya

Yūya activates "Timegazer Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 8) and "Stargazer Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 1) in his Pendulum Zones. He Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. Yūya activates "Magical Sky Mirror", which lets him activate a Normal Magic Card from his opponent's Graveyard that was activated during his opponent's previous turn. Yūya activates Yōko's "Smile World", increasing the ATK of all monsters on the field by 100 for each monster currently on the field, until the end of the turn. As there are four monsters on the field, each monster gains 400 ATK ("Warrior Tiger" 1700 → 2100; "Helpprincess" 1200 → 1600; "Odd-Eyes" 2500 → 2900; "Red Queen" 2000 → 2400). "Odd-Eyes" attacks "Red Queen". Its effect activates, doubling the battle damage it inflicts as it is battling a Level 5 or higher monster. "Red Queen" is destroyed (Yōko: 4000 → 3000 LP). "Warrior Tiger" and "Helpprincess" attack Yōko directly (Yōko: 3000 → 900 → 0 LP).
