Episode 50

"Lancers - The Chosen Warriors" (ランサーズばれた  Ransāzu Erabareta Senshi) is the fiftieth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
As Reiji speaks to everyone calmly, he reveals that the true purpose of the Battle Royale was to select "Lancers" who would fight against invaders from the different dimensions. However, thinking of Michio and the others who were carded, as well as Yuzu who went missing, Yūya could not stop his tears. Unable to contain his anger against Reiji, Yūya challenges him to a Duel!

Yūya Sakaki vs. Reiji Akaba
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Future Metropolis Heartland" 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: Yūya

Yūya activates "Entermate Trump Witch" (Right Pendulum Scale 4) and "Synthesis Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Stargazer Magician" (CG Star 5/1200/2400) and "Entermate Mammosplash" (CG Star 6/1900/2300) from his hand, both in Defense Position.

Turn 2: Reiji

Reiji draws "DD Baphomet". He then activates the effect of the "DD Swirlal Slime" in his hand, which lets him fuse it along with other Fusion Material monsters from his hand to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster. He fuses "Swirlal Slime" and "Baphomet" to Fusion Summon "DDD Flame King Temujin" (CG Star 6/2000/1500) in Attack Position. He then Normal Summons "DD Night Howling" (CG Star 3/300/600). As it was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, letting him Special Summon a "DD" monster from his Graveyard, but its ATK and DEF will be reduced to 0. He Special Summons "Baphomet" (CG Star 4, 4/1400 → 0/1800 → 0). Reiji then tunes the Level 3 Tuner monster "Night Howling" with the Level 4 "Baphomet" to Synchro Summon "DDD Gust King Alexander" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) in Attack Position. As a "DD" monster was Special Summoned, Reiji activates the effect of "Temujin", letting him Special Summon a "DD" monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Swirlal Slime" (CG Star 2/200/200) via this effect. As a "DD" monster was Special Summoned, Reiji activates the effect of "Alexander", letting him Special Summon a "DD" monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Baphomet" (CG Star 4, 4/1400/1800). Reiji activates the effect of "Baphomet", allowing him to double the Level of a monster whose Level is 1 through 6. He selects and doubles the Level of "Swirlal Slime" ("Swirlal Slime": CG Star 2 → 4). He then overlays his two Level 4 Demon-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "DDD Wave King Caesar" (Rank Star 4/2400/1200) in Attack Position. "Alexander" attacks and destroys "Magician of Astromancy". "Caesar" attacks and destroys "Mammosplash". "Temujin" attacks directly (Yūya: 4000 → 2000 LP). Reiji Sets a card.

Turn 3: Yūya

Yūya draws "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and subsequently Pendulum Summons it (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his hand along with "Stargazer Magician" (CG Star 5/1200/2400) and "Entermate Mammosplash" (CG Star 6/1900/2300) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Mammosplash", which allows him to fuse it and other Fusion Material monsters in his hand and on his field to Fusion Summon a monster, but "Mammosplash" will be banished instead of sent to the Graveyard. Yūya fuses "Odd-Eyes" with "Mammosplash" via this effect, to Fusion Summon "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 8/3000/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Stargazer Magician", which allows him to Special Summon exactly 1 Pendulum Monster he controlled that left the field. "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. Yūya then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Trump Witch", letting him Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster by using monsters he controls as the Fusion Material Monsters. Yūya fuses "Odd-Eyes" and "Stargazer Magician" to Fusion Summon "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 8/3000/2000) in Attack Position. As a Level 5 Magician-Type monster was used as its Fusion Material, the effect of "Rune-Eyes" lets it attack three times during each Battle Phase. "Rune-Eyes" attacks and destroys "Caesar", "Temujin" and "Alexander" (Reiji: 4000 → 3000 → 2500 → 1900 LP). "Beast-Eyes" attacks directly, but Reiji activates his face-down "DDD Contract Change", which allows him to reduce the battle damage to 0 by banishing the "DDD" monster from his Graveyard with the highest ATK, and then add a Level 4 or lower "DD" Pendulum Monster from his Deck to his hand. He banishes "Alexander" and adds "DD Magical Savant Kepler".
