Episode 79

"The Awakened Magical Swordsman" (覚醒する魔導剣士  Kakusei-suru Madō Kenshi) is the seventy-ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
Trusting in Sora's message that Yuzu is fine, Yūya puts in all his thoughts and draws his card. The card he drew is the one that Sam gave to him, the card that mustn't be used, "Tuning Magician". While everyone is believing that is a miss, Yūya trusts in the card that he drew and Synchro Summons!!

Yūya Sakaki vs. Shinji Weber
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 5: Shinji

Shinji activates "Bee Jewel of Rebirth", letting him Special Summon a "Bee Force" monster from his Graveyard with its effects negated, though that monster will also be prevented from being destroyed by battle or card effects this turn. Shinji Special Summons "Bee Force - Azusa the Spirit Bow" (CG Star 5/2200/1600) in Attack Position. Shinji activates the effects of all three copies of "Bee Force - Pin the Hit" (CG Star 1/200/300), letting him inflict 200 effect damage with each of them once per turn (Yūya 2500 → 1900). Shinji tunes his three Level 1 "Pins" with the Level 5 Tuner Synchro Monster "Azusa" to Synchro Summon "Bee Force - Hama the Evil-Crushing Bow" (CG Star 8/2800/2000) in Attack Position. "Hama" attacks and destroys "Entermate Silver Claw (Yūya 1900 → 900). As "Hama" inflicted battle damage, Shinji activates its effect, letting him target a monster his opponent controls once per turn and decrease its ATK by the battle damage inflicted until the end of the Battle Phase. He targets "Timesword Magician" (2800 → 1800). "Hama" may attack twice per Battle Phase, so it attacks and destroys "Timesword Magician", with Yūya activating the effect of the "Entermate Barrier Balloon Tapir" in his hand, sending it to the Graveyard to reduce the battle damage to 0.

Turn 6: Yūya

Yūya draws and activates "Match Pump", letting him draw a card and reveal it. If it is a Level 4 or lower monster, it will be Special Summoned, but otherwise the card will be banished. If the Special Summoned monster is a Pendulum Monster, it will be destroyed. Yūya draws and Special Summons "Tuning Magician" (CG Star 1/0/0) in Defense Position. The effect of "Tuning Magician" activates as it was Normal or Special Summoned, increasing Shinji's LP by 400 and inflicting 400 damage to Yūya (Shinji 3400 → 3800, Yuya 900 → 500). Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Entermate Extra Shooter", letting him inflict 300 damage to his opponent for each face-up Pendulum Monster in his Extra Deck once per turn, but he cannot Pendulum Summon the turn he uses the effect (Shinji 3800 → 3200).

Turn 7: Shinji

"Hama" attacks and destroys "Tuning Magician". "Hama" attacks directly, but Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Entermate Doraneko" as he controls no monsters, letting him reduce the battle damage to 0 once per turn. As no battle damage was inflicted during this Battle Phase, Shinji activates the effect of "Hama", letting him inflict 300 damage to his opponent for each "Bee Force" monster in his Graveyard. He has seven - 3 "Pin the Hits", "Azusa", "Needle the Stinger", "Dart the Pursuit" and "Twinbow the Continuous Attack". Yūya finds and activates the Action Card "Encore", letting him either activate the effect of an Action Magic Card in his Graveyard as this card's effect or destroy "Encore". He activates the effect of "Acceleration", reducing the damage to 0. Shinji Sets a card.

Turn 8: Yūya

Shinji activates his face-down "Bee Formation", letting him target a "Bee Force" monster he controls. Each time his opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster, that target will gain 400 ATK. Yūya Pendulum Summons "Silver Claw" (CG Star 4/1800/700) and "Timesword Magician" (CG Star 3/1400/0) from his Extra Deck, both in Attack Position ("Hama" 2800 → 3200). Yūya then activates "Monster Reborn", letting him Special Summon a monster from either player's Graveyard. He Special Summons "Tuning Magician" (CG Star 1/0/0) ("Hama" 3200 → 3600). The effect of "Tuning Magician" activates as it was Normal or Special Summoned, increasing Shinji's Life Points by 400 and inflicting 400 damage to Yūya (Shinji 3200 → 3600, Yūya 500 → 100). Yūya tunes the Level 4 "Silver Claw" and Level 3 "Timesword Magician" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Tuning Magician" to Synchro Summon "Enlightenment Paladin" (CG Star 8/2500/2000)" in Attack Position (Hama 3600 → 4000). The effect of "Enlightenment Paladin" activates as it was Synchro Summoned, letting Yūya add a Magic Card from his Graveyard to his hand. He adds and subsequently activates "Gap Power" as his opponent's Life Points are higher than his own, increasing the ATK of a monster he controls by half the difference between his own Life Points and his opponent's until the end of the Battle Phase ("Enlightenment Paladin 2500 → 4250). "Enlightenment Paladin" attacks and destroys "Hama" (Shinji 3600 → 3350), with the effect of "Enlightenment Paladin" activating as it destroyed a monster by battle, inflicting damage to Shinji equal to his destroyed monster's ATK on the field (Shinji 3350 → 0).
