Episode 24

"The Wings of Rebellion - Raid Raptors" (反逆の翼　レイド・ラプターズ Hangyaku no Tsubasa - Reido Raputāzu), known as "For Our Tomorrows" in the Dub version, is the twenty-fourth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

The Leo Duel School continues on the search for the true culprit of the attacks, spearheaded by Reiji. Because of this a Duel is set between Shun against Masumi, Hokuto and Yaiba. Meanwhile, Yūto appears in front of Yuzu and reveals a series of shocking truths!

Summary
At LDS, an employee reports that Hokuto Shijima is en route to Sector TF13, while another states that Masumi Kōtsu has entered Sector ZX97, and a third states that Yaiba Tōdō's location is unknown; it seems he is outside of the mission's search area. Nakajima orders them to get Yaiba back immediately, muttering that this is why he was against using students from the Duel School. Reiji arrives in the control room, ordering his staff to continue monitoring the students, musing that they will show themselves.

In the streets, Sora suggests a party to celebrate his getting into the Junior Maiami Championship, but Yūya reminds him that he's still got one match left, so the celebrations are on hold until he wins it. Sora is horrified that they won't get a party if Yūya loses, and Yūya jokingly grabs him in a headlock, Sora commenting that he really wants to eat some cake. Yūya reassures him that once he's won, he'll let Sora eat cake until he's sick of it as Ayu, Futoshi and Tatsuya laugh. Yuzu, meanwhile, is standing off to the side, looking at her "Fusion" card, and remembering Yūto telling her that it didn't suit her. Then she sees Masumi running down an alley, and decides to follow her. Tatsuya asks where Yuzu is going, and Yuzu reassures them that she just remembered something that she has to do. Sora (still in a headlock) asks if she's getting the cake, as Yuzu tells them to go home without her.

Masumi walks nervously down an empty street, where rows of crows are perched on the rooftops. She stops short as she sees Shun standing in the middle of the street. He asks if she's alone, and when she doesn't respond, Shun asks where the "brat" and the girl from last time are (Sora and Yuzu). Masumi replies that she doesn't know, and she admits that she'd always thought that it was the black masked man who had attacked Professor Marco, angrily asking what Shun did with Professor Marco. Shun is honestly confused until Masumi explains that he was the LDS teacher that taught her Fusion Summoning, and he dismissively comments that Marco wasn't that good, and that his lack of experience showed in his weak and flimsy combat style. Masumi yells at him to shut up, as Professor Marco is her teacher and she won't forgive Shun for belittling him. Shun retorts that it wasn't just Marco, but everyone that he Dueled from LDS was flimsy and pathetic; in not one of their Duels did Shun sense an iron determination or a steeled strength. Masumi (and the LDS watchers) ask if that means that he attacked the other students, and Shun confirms it. He tells Masumi that if she won't forgive him, she should sate her grudge by defeating him, and he activates his Duel Disk. Nakajima informs Reiji that the team is at his command. Masumi quickly contacts Yaiba and Hokuto, telling them that she's located the target. Hokuto responds affirmatively, and Yaiba breaks off his practice match with Gongenzaka, apologizing and telling him to finish up the rest on his own.

Meanwhile, Yuzu wanders through an alleyway, but then Yūto steps out, telling her that he can't let her go any further.

Shun realizes that Masumi has called in her friends, and warns her that she underestimates him if she thinks that two more will suffice. Masumi reassures Shun that he's already well-known at LDS, and since she knows what Shun looks like, she was set as bait, waiting for Shun to appear. Simply put, Shun fell for their trap. Hokuto agrees as he arrives, reassuring Masumi that they would avenge Professor Marco. Yaiba screeches to a halt, suggesting that they finish this before the top team shows up; if they manage to catch the criminal themselves, their opportunities will widen. Masumi is touched by the support. Yaiba suggests to Shun that they go with Battle Royal rules; none of them will be able to draw or battle in their first turn. Shun replies that that's fine by him, and he'll finish Masumi and her friends all off at once. In the alleyway, Yūto explains that he doesn't want his friend to be interrupted. Yuzu asks if he means the one from back then and if he's fighting Masumi now. Masumi and her friends activates their Duel Disks, and all four Duelists yell "Duel!"

Commenting that the first strike wins, Hokuto tells Masumi to get him. Declaring her turn, Masumi Summons "Gem-Knight Lapis," and then she Sets a card to end her turn. Yaiba tells Shun that he's up next, and Shun begins his turn by Summoning "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius." Then he activates the effect of "Vanishing Lanius," allowing him to Special Summon another copy from his hand since he Normal Summoned or Special Summoned the first one this turn. Next, Shun activates the Continuous Magic Card, "Raid Raptors - Nest," which when he controls two "Raid Raptors" with the same name allows him to add a third copy from his Deck to his hand. Then, with the effect of the second "Vanishing Lanius" on his field, he Special Summons the third from his hand, and Sets two cards to end his turn.

Yuzu begs Yūto to stop Shun as he did the last time, and asks why he is now unwilling. Yūto replies that she doesn't need to know, and that he doesn't want to involve her. Yuzu tries to run past him, but Yūto grabs her wrist, protesting that he doesn't want her to get hurt.

Hokuto starts his turn, explaining that if his opponent controls a monster and he does not, he can Special Summon "Sacred Scheat" from his hand. Then he Normal Summons "Sacred Pollux," whose effect allows him to Normal Summon an additional "Sacred" monster this turn, and he Normal Summons "Sacred Gredi" and activates its effect, Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower "Sacred" monster from his hand. He Special Summons "Sacred Kaust." Hokuto mentions that Shun uses Xyz Monsters as well, and the fact that Shun is using them to commit crimes is a great inconvenience. Hokuto says he will defeat Shun not only to restore honor to Xyz Summoning, but also to prove that LDS Xyz-users are superior. He activates the effect of "Kaust," and "Kaust" fires an arrow of light into the sky, raining down light on itself and "Gredi" as Hokuto increases both of their Levels by one. Then he overlays the now Level 5 "Gredi" and "Kaust," and he chants, "Light of the stars, come descend and shake this very earth! Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Sacred Pleiades!" Next, Hokuto activates the Magic Card "Twinkle Sacred," increasing "Pollux's" Level by two, to 6, and then activates the effect of "Scheat," which can make its own Level equal to that of a "Sacred " monster he controls. Overlaying the Level 6 "Pollux" and "Scheat," Hokuto chants, "Rain down your dazzling light! Xyz Summon! Appear now, Rank 6! Sacred Ptolemys Messier 7!" Yaiba cheers that Hokuto performed two consecutive Xyz Summons, and Masumi congratulates him. Reassuring them that he's just begun, Hokuto activates the effect of "Pleiades," using one Overlay Unit to send one of Shun's "Vanishing Lanius" back to his hand. Further, he activates the effect of "Ptolemys Messier 7," detaching an Overlay Unit to send one of Shun's monsters back to his hand, and choosing the second "Vanishing Lanius." Ending his turn, Hokuto tells Yaiba, whose turn is next, that they're counting on him. Yaiba tells them to leave everything to him.

Yuzu asks Yūto why he's saying that he doesn't want her to get hurt when Yūto goes and hurts other people. Yūto gasps, and looks away. Yanking her arm out of his grip, Yuzu asks if he's saying that it's fine if Masumi gets hurt. She asks who he and Shun are.

Yaiba Summons "XX-Saber Boggart Knight," and activates its effect, Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower "X-Saber" monster from his hand. He Special Summons the Level 1 Tuner monster "X-Saber Palomuro." Next, since he controls two or more "X-Saber" monsters, he can Special Summon "XX-Saber Faultroll" from his hand. "Boggart Knight" and "Palomuro" cross their swords which then emit lightning, creating a portal from which "Faultroll" emerges. Yaiba tells Shun that now that he's seen LDS's Xyz, he'll show him LDS's Synchro, and he tunes the Level 4 "Boggart Knight" with the Level 1 "Palomuro," chanting "Appear now, Level 5! X-Saber Wayne!" He says that he's just begun, since when "Wayne" is Summoned, he can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from his hand. "Wayne" fires a blast of energy from his pistol at the ground, and Yaiba Special Summons the Level 3 Tuner monster "Fulhelmknight," who twirls his chain sword as he emerges from the portal. Then Yaiba activates the effect of "Faultroll," allowing him to revive a Level 4 or lower "X-Saber" monster from his Graveyard, and he revives "Palomuro;" "Faultroll" stabs its sword into the ground to open the return portal for "Palomuro." Yelling that the "real deal" is coming, Yaiba tunes the Level 6 "Faultroll" with the Level 3 "Fulhelmknight," chanting "Let your silver armor shine! Crush the hope of all who oppose you! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 9! XX-Saber Gatmuz!" Then Yaiba tunes the Level 5 "Wayne" with the Level 1 "Palomuro," and he chants, "Clothed in your red mantle, take your foes down with your dancing blade! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 6! XX-Saber Hyunlei!" Exchanging glances with Hokuto, he activates the effect of "Hyunlei;" when she's Synchro Summoned, Yaiba can destroy up to three Magic or Trap Cards Shun controls. "Hyunlei" throws three daggers, destroying "Raid Raptors - Nest ," and Shun's Set "Unicorn Beacon" and "Raid Raptors - Readiness." Hokuto seizes the chance to activate the effect of "Pleiades" again, detaching its last Overlay Unit to return Shun's final "Vanishing Lanius" from the field to his hand. Masumi is amazed that they've left Shun's field wide open, but Yaiba exclaims that he's still not done; he'll use his forbidden technique on Shun. He activates the Magic Card "Gatmuz's Emergency Convocation ," which allows him to revive two "X-Saber" monsters from his Graveyard with their ATK and DEF, and he brings back "Wayne" and "Faultroll," then he also uses the effect of "Faultroll" to revive "Fulhelmknight." "Faultroll" stabs its sword into the ground again and "Fulhelmknight" emerges, twirling his sword. Next he activates the effect of "Gatmuz," which allows him to Release an "X-Saber" monster to discard a card from Shun's hand. He Releases "Fulhelmknight," "Faultroll" and "Wayne" to have Shun discard his entire hand, and all three monsters are absorbed into the sword of "Gatmuz." "Gatmuz" then swing his blade to create an energy wave that impacts with Shun's hand and causes his cards to glow purple. Unfazed, Shun discards all three of his "Vanishing Lanius." Masumi cheers that Shun's hand is gone now too. In the LDS observation room, Nakajima is pleased, admitting that perhaps the students were as skilled as they claimed.

Yuzu emphatically asks Yūto who they are what they want. He explains that they're after their friends, who had been captured by their enemy. Yuzu gasps, and she asks if he means Ruri. Yūto reacts in shock.

Yaiba tells Hokuto that they might be even stronger than the LDS top team, and Hokuto muses that if they defeat Shun, they'll be promoted to the ace position instantly. Suggesting that they conclude the game, Yaiba ends his turn, telling Masumi to finish him. Masumi thanks her friends, and then reminds Shun that she can draw from his turn onwards. She draws, and then she activates "Gem-Knight Fusion," fusing "Gem-Knight Lapis" on her field with "Gem-Knight Lazuli" in her hand, chanting, "Blue gem veiled in a mysterious power, come before us in a peal of light! Fusion Summon! Level 5! Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli!" Shun narrows his eyes furiously at the sight of the Fusion Monster.

Yuzu reminds Yūto that Shun had called her Ruri, remembering her encounter with Shun. She asks if Ruri is one of their captured comrades, and if she looks like her. Yūto removes his mask, admitting that he'd initially thought what Shun had, but Yuzu is not Ruri, as Ruri would never employ the enemy's summoning method.

Masumi activates the effect of "Gem-Knight Lazuli"; when it's sent to the Graveyard, she can return one Normal Monster from her Graveyard to her hand, and she returns "Lapis." Then she activates the effect of "Gem-Knight Fusion," which she can return to her hand by banishing a "Gem-Knight" monster from her Graveyard. She banishes "Gem-Knight Lazuli," and then activates "Gem-Knight Fusion" again. This time, she fuses "Gem-Knight Alexand," "Gem-Knight Emeral," and "Gem-Knight Lapis", chanting, "Gem with facets of noon and night! Brilliant emerald of good fortune! Bring forth a new light within a hidden blue gem! Fusion Summon! Appear now, one who illuminates all with its supreme radiance! Level 9! Gem-Knight Master Dia!" Yaiba cheers at the sight of Masumi's ace monster, and Hokuto tells a furious Shun that this is LDS's Fusion Summoning.

Yuzu is shocked to find out that Fusion Summoning is Yūto and Shun's enemy, as she learned Fusion Summoning to protect her school, and her friends. Yūto flinches in surprise.

Masumi explains that "Gem-Knight Master Dia" gains 100 ATK for each "Gem-" monster in her Graveyard. With three, its ATK rises to 3200. Then she activates the effect of "Lapis;" once per turn, she can send another "Lapis" from her Extra Deck to her Graveyard, in order to inflict damage to Shun equal to half of the current ATK of "Lapis Lazuli" in addition to 100 times the number of Extra Deck monsters on the field. With six monsters and half of the 2400 ATK of "Lapis Lazuli," Shun will take 1800 damage. "Lapis" fires a sphere of light from its chest orb, reducing Shun to 2200 LP. Hokuto clamors for the finishing blow, and Yaiba tells Masumi to finish Shun off. Masumi activates "Master Dia's" other effect, banishing a Level 7 or lower "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from her Graveyard to have "Master Dia" gain its effects until the end of the turn. She banishes her second "Lapis Lazuli" and then she immediately activates the newly acquired effect of "Master Dia," sending her third "Lapis Lazuli" to the Graveyard. With that, Shun takes the 100 damage for each Extra Deck monster on the field plus half of "Master Dia's" 3300 ATK - 2250 damage in total. "Master Dia" swings its sword, creating a rainbow-colored shockwave, and Yaiba cheers that they won. But Shun activates the effect of the Trap Card in his Graveyard, "Raid Raptors - Readiness." By banishing it from his Graveyard, he can make his LP 10 and reduce the effect damage to zero. Yaiba is furious that Shun dodged the damage, though Hokuto points out that Shun only has 10 LP, so if Masumi attacks, but before he could finish, Shun reveals that "Readiness" also prevents any battle damage this turn. Frustrated, Masumi ends her turn.

Shun comments that as he thought, he doesn't feel an iron determination or a steeled strength in their Dueling. Yaiba isn't happy to hear that, and Hokuto is amazed that Shun can be so arrogant when in such a compromised position. Shun affirms this, saying that they were always badly beaten and fighting on the edge. The LDS students have no idea what Shun is talking about, as Shun muses that they always had to stand up again, until they finally overwhelmed and defeated their enemies. He declares his turn furiously, screaming as he draws, and the crows flee the area. Shun activates "Dimension Xyz;" when his LP is 1000 or less and there are three of the same card in his hand, field, or Graveyard, he can use those monsters as materials to Xyz Summon. He overlays the three "Vanishing Lanius" in his Graveyard, and he chants, "Obscured falcon, from adversity, raise your sharpened claws! Spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! APPEAR NOW! Rank 4! Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon!" The Winged-Beast screeches as it hovers above Shun, standing with 100 ATK. Hokuto and Masumi are shocked at the ATK value. Shun explains that "Rise Falcon" can attack all Special Summoned monsters on the field. Yaiba asks Shun how he proposed to beat them with such a low ATK monster.

Shun simply activates the monster effect of "Rise Falcon." By detaching one Overlay Unit, "Rise Falcon" gains ATK equal to the total ATK of all Special Summoned monsters his opponent controls. One of "Rise Falcon's" Overlay Units explodes in front of the LDS's students' monsters, and energy rises from them and covers "Rise Falcon" in flames. "Rise Falcon" gains 2700, 2500, 3300, 2400, 3100, 2300, finishing at 16400 ATK. Hokuto repeats the value in a daze, and both Yaiba and Masumi gasp in horror. Shun declares his Battle Phase. He orders "Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon" to rend and tear all of their enemies, and it attacks with "Brave Claw Revolution." Soaring above the city, "Rise Falcon" crashes into all six of the LDS students' monsters, wiping them out in a massive explosion. Hokuto, Yaiba, and Masumi are all blasted backwards, their LP reduced to zero in an instant as Shun looks on impassively.

Yūto explains to Yuzu that they too are fighting to protect their friends, in order to end this conflict and create a world where no-one has to be hurt. Yūto doesn't want to involve Yuzu in that conflict, but if she has no choice but to fight, he wants her to survive, even if it means using Fusion Summoning. He reassures her that the her that trying to protect her friends and to grow stronger isn't wrong, and he smiles. Yuzu is struck by Yūto's resemblance to Yūya, remembering Yūya telling her that she was trying to change herself into a different Yuzu from up until now. Yūto states that he'll continue to fight, with Ruri and his comrades, in order to save their future. He admits that Yuzu is a lot like Ruri. Yuzu asks who Ruri is as wind begins to blow in the alleyway. Yūto explains that Ruri is one of their comrades, and Shun's younger sister. Yuzu asks Yūto his name, and he tells her that it's Yūto, before vanishing into the winds. Yuzu repeats Yūto's name.

Shun stands over the defeated students before hearing a noise behind him; Nakajima and five other LDS members are standing there. Shun mutters that it took them long enough, but he's tired of such inept opponents and demands to meet their boss. Reiji arrives and declares that if he's wanted, he's right there, and his employees step aside as he walks towards Shun determinedly.

Masumi Normal Summons "Gem-Knight Lapis" (1200/100) and Sets a card.

Turn 2: Shun

Shun Normal Summons "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (1300/1600). As it was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, he activates its effect to Special Summon a second copy of "Vanishing Lanius" (1300/1600) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates the Permanent Magic Card "Raid Raptors - Nest". As he controls two "Raid Raptors" monsters with the same name, this lets him add a third copy of that card from his Deck or Graveyard to his hand. He adds a copy from his Deck. Shun then activates the effect of the second "Vanishing Lanius" to Special Summon a third copy of "Vanishing Lanius" (1300/1600) from his hand in Attack Position. Shun Sets two cards.

He Normal Summons "Sacred Gredi" (1600/1400). As "Gredi" was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, letting him Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "Sacred" monster from his hand. He Special Summons "Sacred Kaust" (1800/700) in Attack Postion. Hokuto activates the effect of "Kaust" twice, to increase or decrease the Level of a "Sacred" monster by 1. He targets "Kaust" and "Gredi", increasing their Levels by 1 each. Hokuto overlays his two Level 5 LIGHT monsters to Xyz Summon "Sacred Pleiades" (2500/1500) in Attack Position. He then activates the Magic Card "Twinkle Sacred" to increase the Level of a "Sacred" monster he controls by 2; he targets "Pollux".

Turn 4: Yaiba

Yaiba Normal Summons "XX-Saber Boggart Knight" (1900/1000). As it was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, letting him Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "X-Saber" monster from his hand. He Special Summons the Tuner monster, "X-Saber Palomuro" (200/300). As he controls two "X-Saber" monsters, he Special Summons "XX-Saber Faultroll" (2400/1800) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Yaiba tunes the Level 4 "Boggart Knight" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Palomuro" to Synchro Summon the Level 5 "X-Saber Wayne" (2100/400) in Attack Position. As it was Synchro Summoned, its effect activates, letting him Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from his hand. He Special Summons "XX-Saber Fulhelmknight" (1300/1000). He then activates the effect of "Faultroll" to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "X-Saber" monster from his Graveyard; he Summons "Palomuro" (20b 0/300). Yaiba tunes the Level 3 Tuner monster "Fulhelmknight" with the Level 6 "Faultroll" to Synchro Summon "XX-Saber Gatmuz" (3100/2600) in Attack Position. He tunes the Level 1 Tuner monster "Palomuro" with the Level 5 "Wayne" to Synchro Summon the Level 6 "XX-Saber Hyunlei" (2300/1300). As it was Synchro Summoned, its effect activates, letting him select and destroy up to three of Shun's Magic and Trap Cards. Yaiba destroys "Raid Raptors - Nest" and Shun's two Set cards ("Raid Raptors - Readiness" and "Unicorn Beacon"). Hokuto activates the effect of "Pleiades", detaching an Overlay Unit to return Shun's last copy of "Vanishing Lanius" to the hand. Yaiba activates "Gatmuz's Emergency Convocation", letting him Special Summon two "X-Saber" monsters from his Graveyard with their ATKs reduced to 0. He Special Summons "Faultroll" (2400 → 0/1800) and "Wayne" (2100 → 0/400). Yaiba activates the effect of "Faultroll", Special Summoning "Fulhelmknight" (1300/1000). Yaiba activates the effect of "Gatmuz" three times, letting him Release an "X-Saber" monster to discard a random card from Shun's hand. He Releases "Fulhelmknight", "Faultroll" and "Wayne" to force Shun to discard his three copies of "Vanishing Lanius".

Turn 5: Masumi

Masumi activates "Gem-Knight Fusion", fusing "Lapis" from her field and "Gem-Knight Lazuli" from her hand to Fusion Summon "Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli" (2400/1000) in Attack Position. As it was sent to the Graveyard via a card effect, the effect of "Lazuli" activates, letting Masumi return a Normal Monster from her Graveyard to her hand. She returns "Lapis". Masumi then activates the effect of the "Gem-Knight Fusion" in her Graveyard, letting her banish a "Gem-Knight" monster to add "Gem-Knight Fusion" to her hand. She banishes "Lazuli". Masumi activates "Gem-Knight Fusion", fusing "Gem-Knight Alexand", "Gem-Knight Emeral" and "Lapis" in her hand to Fusion Summon "Gem-Knight Master Dia" (2900/2500) in Attack Position. It gains 100 ATK for each "Gem-" monster in Masumi's Graveyard ("Master Dia" 2900 → 3200). Masumi activates the effect of "Lady Lapis Lazuli", sending another copy of "Lady Lapis Lazuli" from her Extra Deck to the Graveyard ("Master Dia" 3200 → 3300) to inflict damage to Shun equal to half of that monster's ATK, plus 100 for each monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck on the field, meaning 6, so Shun takes 1800 damage (Shun: 4000 → 2200). Masumi activates the effect of "Master Dia", banishing a Level 7 or lower "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from her Graveyard ("Master Dia" 3300 → 3200) to allow it to copy the effect of the banished monster. She banishes "Lady Lapis Lazuli". Masumi activates the inherited effect of "Master Dia", sending her last "Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli" from her Extra Deck to the Graveyard ("Master Dia" 3200 → 3300) to inflict damage to Shun equal to half its ATK, plus 600 damage, meaning 2250. Shun activates the effect of the "Raid Raptors - Readiness" in his Graveyard, banishing it and making his Life Points 10 (Shun: 2200 → 10) to reduce the effect damage to 0, also he takes no battle damage for the rest of the turn.

Turn 6: Shun

Shun draws and activates "Dimension Xyz". As he has 1000 or fewer Life Points, he can use three monsters with the same name from his hand, field or Graveyard to Xyz Summon a monster; he uses the three copies of "Vanishing Lanius" in his Graveyard, overlaying his three Level 4 Winged Beast-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon" (100/2000) in Attack Position. Shun activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to increase its ATK by the total ATK of all Special Summoned monsters his opponents control until the end of this turn. The six monsters' combined ATK is 16300 ("Rise Falcon" 100 → 16400). The other effect of "Rise Falcon" lets it attack all Special Summoned monsters Shun's opponents control once each. It attacks and destroys all six monsters (Yaiba: 4000 → 0, Hokuto: 4000 → 0, Masumi: 4000 → 0).
