Episode 35

"Academia and the Resistance" (アカデミアとレジスタンス Akademia to Rejisutansu), known as "Sora's Secrets: Part 1" in the Dub version, is the thirty-fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
Sora lost to Shun and is undergoing treatment in the medical ward. However, he escapes from the medical ward, and clashes in a Duel with Yūto! Yūya, learning that Sora has gone missing, finds Sora and meets the two Dueling. Even though Yūya attempts to stop the Duel, the two insist on continuing. The true situation between the Fusion world and the Xyz world would be made clear through this Duel! On the other hand, Yuzu reveals all what she knows about Yūto to Yūya.

Sora Shiun'in vs. Yūto
Turn 1: Sora

Sora Normal Summons "Edge Imp Tomahawk" (CG Star 4/1800/800). He activates its effect, letting him discard an "Edge Imp" monster to inflict 800 damage to his opponent. Sora discards "Edge Imp DT Modoki" (Yūto: 4000 → 3200).

Turn 2: Yūto

Yūto draws and subsequently Normal Summons "Phantom Knights Dusty Robe" (CG Star 3/800/1000). Since he controls a Level 3 "Phantom Knights" monster, he Special Summons "Phantom Knights Silent Boots" (CG Star 3/200/1200) from his hand via its own effect. He overlays his two Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Phantom Knights Break Sword" (Rank Star 3/2000/1000/2 ORU) in Attack Position. "Break Sword" attacks and destroys "Tomahawk" (Sora: 4000 → 3800). Yūto Sets two cards.

Turn 3: Sora

Sora draws "Death-Toy Custom". He then activates "Fusion", fusing the "Edge Imp Scissors" and "Furnimal Bear" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (CG Star 6/2200/1800) in Attack Position. "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" attacks and destroys "Break Sword" (Yūto: 3200 → 3000). The effect of "Break Sword" activates, as it left the field; Yūto can Special Summon all the monsters that were attached to it as Overlay Units and their Levels become 4. Both "Dusty Robe" and "Silent Boots" are Special Summoned via this effect. Sora activates the effect of "Death-Toy Scissors Bear", equipping the destroyed monster to it and increasing its ATK by that of the equipped monster ("Death-Toy Scissors Bear" 2200 → 4200). Sora Sets a card.

Turn 4: Yūto

Yūto overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Rank Star 4/2500/2000/2 ORU) in Attack Position. He activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of a Level 5 or higher monster Sora controls ("Death-Toy Scissors Bear" 4200 → 2100) and add that amount to its own ATK until the end of this turn ("Dark Rebellion" 2500 → 4600). "Dark Rebellion" attacks and destroys "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (Sora: 3800 → 1300).

At this point, Yūya joins the Duel and goes to Sora's side.

Duel continues in the next episode.
