Episode 98

"Towards the Only Path" (ひとつの道へ Hitotsu no Michi e) is the ninety-eight episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime series.

Summary
Summoning 5 Monsters at once, Yūya's white-hot duel manages to grab the attention of everyone in the City. Jack also power-ups his dragon in response, and determines to face Yūya with all that he has. The Duel between Yūya and Jack finally reaches a conclusion.

Yūya Sakaki vs. Jack Atlas
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Jack has 3200 LP remaining and no cards in his hand, and controls "Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant" in Attack position and 1 face-down card. Yūya has 100 LP remaining and "Smile World" in his hand, and controls "Timebreaker Magician", "Entermate Radish Horse", "Entermate Rubber Mutton", "Entermate Bubbulldog" and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" in Attack position. He also has "Acrobat Magician" and "Nirvana High Paladin" in his Pendulum Zones.

Turn 9: Yūya

Yūya activates "Smile World" from his hand, increasing the ATK of all monsters on the field by 100 for each monster on the field until the End Phase ("Tyrant": 4000 → 4600; "Timebreaker": 1400 → 2000 ATK, "Radish Horse": 500 → 1100 ATK, "Rubber Mutton": 900 → 1500, "Bulbbulldog": 2300 → 2900, "Odd-Eyes": 2500 → 3100). Yūya activates the effect of "Radish Horse", which lets him decrease the ATK of a monster with 2500 or more ATK with an amount equal to its own ATK and increase the ATK of another by the same amount until the End Phase. He targets "Tyrant" and "Odd-Eyes" ("Tyrant": 4600 → 3500, "Odd-Eyes": 3100 → 4200). Since the ATK of "Tyrant" was lowered, Jack activates his face-down card "Over the Red", which doubles the ATK of a "Red" monster, and lets him banish a "Red" monster from his Graveyard to increase the ATK of the targeted monster further until the End Phase. He targets "Tyrant" and banishes "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" ("Tyrant": 3500 → 10000 ATK). Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Nirvana High", which allows him to prevent the Pendulum Summoned monster he controls with the lowest Level from being destroyed by battle, reduce that damage to 0, and decrease the ATK of all opposing monsters by that monster's ATK after damage calculation. He targets the Level 3 "Timebreaker". "Timebreaker" attacks "Tyrant", and after that damage calculation, it loses ATK equal to the ATK of "Timebreaker" ("Tyrant": 10000 → 8000). The second Pendulum effect of "Nirvana High" activates, allowing Yūya to grant the same effects to the Level 4 "Radish Horse", the Level 5 "Rubber Mutton", the Level 6 "Bubbulldog" and the Level 7 "Odd-Eyes". "Radish Horse", "Rubber Mutton" and "Bubbulldog" attack "Tyrant" in succession ("Tyrant": 8000 → 6900 → 5400 → 2500 ATK). "Odd-Eyes" attacks "Tyrant", doubling the battle damage since "Tyrant" is level 5 or higher. "Tyrant" is destroyed (Jack: 3200 → 0 LP).

Jean-Michel Roger vs. Reiji Akaba
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Cross Over" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.

Turn 1: Jean

Jean activates "Fusion", fusing two copies of "Antique Gear Soldier" from his hand to Fusion Summon "Antique Gear Devil" in Defense Position. Next, he equips "Devil" with "Antique Gear Magic Shield", which increases its DEF by 1200 ("Devil": 1800 → 3000 DEF) and it cannot be destroyed by battle. Roger activates the effet of "Devil": Once per turn, Roger can inflict 1000 to his opponent for each face-up Magic card he controls (Reiji: 4000 → 3000 LP).

Duel continues in the next episode.
