Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V - Episode 079 " Road To Rebellion " , known as " The Enlightened Paladin " in the Japanese version , is the seventy - ninth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . It first aired in Japan on October 25 , 2015 , and in Australia on November 4 , 2016 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on January 31 , 2017 Summary . Yuya recaps that in the second match of the Friendship Cup ' s second round , Shinji had Yuya cornered in his haste to save Zuzu . He then saw Sora with Zuzu ' s helmet , and realized that it may mean that Zuzu was safe . Yuya had declared that the real Duel started now , but Shinji claimed that it was too late ; he had hundreds of thousands of Commons supporting him . The revolution had begun and no - one could stop them . Shinji activates the Spell Card " Revival Swarm " , allowing him to Special Summon a " Battlewasp " monster from his Graveyard with its effects negated . He revives " Battlewasp - Azusa the Spirit Bow " , which reforms from a swarm of bees . He tells the Commons to rise up and bring forth a revolution , to drag down those Topsiders and give them a taste of their suffering . The Commons cheer as the Topsiders look worried , and Melissa Trail protests that she told Shinji not to provoke the audience . Yuya tries to pacify Shinji , claiming that he understands how Shinji feels , but all this violence won ' t change anything . Yuya begins explaining that he wants to make the people of New Domino City smile with his Dueling , but Shinji interrupts , asking " Smile ? " He claims that they ' ll smile once they ' ve dragged the Topsiders down from their cushy penthouses . That ' s why they need a revolution . Yuya grits his teeth , and the observing Crow notes that the revolution that Shinji talks about isn ' t the only way . That ' s why he put his hope in Jack , but Jack didn ' t do anything . Even though Jack could have changed things , the wealth and power reduced him to the Topsiders ' dog . He clenches his fist and thinks that it ' s just as Shinji says . Shinji activates the effects of all three of his " Battlewasp - Pin the Bullseye " , inflicting 200 damage to Yuya . Each " Pin " shoots a needle at Yuya , reducing him to 1900 LP vs Shinji ' s 3400 as Melissa explains to the crowd . The Commons cheer , and Sam whispers Yuya ' s name . Yuya asks if Shinji is planning on taking out his LP through effect damage before he attacks " Performapal Silver Claw " with " Azusa " . Shinji laughs in response , mockingly asking Yuya if he thinks that Shinji Summoned " Azusa the Spirit Bow " with its effects negated just for that . He tunes the three Level 1 " Pin the Hits " with the Level 5 " Azusa " and Yuya realizes in shock that " Azusa " is a Tuner Synchro Monster . Shinji chants " Power in concert ! Bear the flames of grudge and release the arrow of revolt ! Synchro Summon ! Level 8 ! Battlewasp - Hama the Conquering Bow ! " Yuya observes the monster ' s 2800 ATK and Shinji tells the Commons to watch , claiming that this is their Synchro Monster . Crow muses that the monster is a revolutionary monster that combines the strength of weak 200 ATK monsters . Shinji urges the Commons to gather at his side , just like this monster . He tells them that they ' ll change this society with their own hands , and the Commons cheer Shinji ' s name as the Topsiders continue to watch in fear . Sam observes that the anger of the Commons is coming together . In the High Council chamber , Gael tells White Taki that the Commons will riot if this continues , but Taki remains unworried , as does Declan who stands with Riley . In his office , Jean - Michel Roget snorts and he comments that that won ' t happen at all . The Topsiders have oppressed the Commons for so long precisely because they ' re all bark and no bite . That ' s the Commons ; venting their frustration is enough for them . Shinji tells Yuya that he ' ll defeat him and stand on the front line of the revolution . Shinji attacks " Silver Claw " with " Hama the Evil - Crushing Bow " . " Hama " extends an arrow from its left wrist which it inserts into and fires from its bow , destroying " Silver Claw " and reducing Yuya to 900 LP . The energy arrow remains spinning as Shinji activates the effect of " Hama " , which allows him to reduce the ATK of one monster Yuya controls by the damage that Yuya just took . The arrows embeds in " Timebreaker Magician ' s " arm and reduces him to 1800 ATK , and " Timebreaker " nonchalantly rips the arrow out and tosses it away . Shinji explains that " Hama " can attack twice in one turn , and he attacks " Timebreaker Magician " this time , ordering " Hama " to end it with 1000 points of damage . " Hama " extends another arrow and fires , creating a massive cloud of smoke , and Melissa declares that it ' s over . Celina , Crow , Sam , and the Topsiders all watch , Celina and Sam calling Yuya ' s name . But to everyone ' s shock , the smoke is absorbed into the trunk of a large purple spectre , much to the confusion of both Melissa and Shinji . Yuya explains that he activated the effect of " Performapal Inflater Tapir " , which he can send from his hand to the Graveyard to reduce battle damage to zero . The Commons all bemoan the near chance , while the Topsiders sigh in relief and Sam whispers Yuya ' s name . Shinji comments that he guesses that Yuya won ' t go down so easily , but he only has 900 LP left , and Shinji will finish Yuya off next turn . He ends his turn . Yuya thinks that there ' s no way that he can lose here . He ' ll make everyone smile with his Dueling , end the interdimensional war , and return to their world with Zuzu . He declares his turn and draws the Spell Card " Match Pump " , which he immediately activates . He can draw a card , and if it ' s a Level 4 or lower monster he can Special Summon it . Anything else will be banished , but if the Special Summoned monster is a Pendulum Monster , it is destroyed and sent to the Extra Deck . In addition , Yuya cannot Special Summon other monsters this turn . Yuya thinks that if he draws a Pendulum Monster , he can increase the effect damage of the Pendulum Effect of " Performapal Extra Slinger " . He declares his draw , and draws the card high . But Yuya ' s eyes widen in shock as he sees that he ' s drawn " Tuning Magician " . He brings the card down and looks at it , and Shinji asks what ' s wrong and he tells Yuya to hurry up . Yuya does so , Special Summoning " Tuning Magician " in Defense Position . " Tuning Magician " appears and cheerfully strikes a pose . Sam panics internally , remembering that he gave the card to Yuya and told him to return it to Jack . Yuya will be in trouble if he uses a card like that . Melissa notes that the Summoned monster is Level 1 with 0 DEF . Jack himself wonders why Yuya has that card , remembering that the effect of " Tuning Magician " inflict 400 damage to its controller and increases the LP of the opponent by 400 when " Tuning Magician " is Special Summoned . " Tuning Magician " cheerfully radiates harmonic waves from the staff that hovers next to her , which reduces Yuya to 500 LP and increases the shocked Shinji ' s LP to 3800 . Melissa is surprised as she narrates that Yuya cut down his own LP and increased his opponent ' s instead . Sam is panicked , but Yuya remains calm . Melissa protests that no matter how one looks at it , Yuya has made a mistake . Due to the effect of " Tuning Magician " , it ' s 3800 against 500 LP . The crowd shouts at Yuya for his move , as Sam continues to panic . Sam remembers Jack giving the card to him ; telling him that if he had nothing else he should take this , the card that suited Sam the best . Sam then remembers telling Yuya about the card and how he perceived it as Jack making fun of him despite being a Common himself . Sam wonders why Yuya put the card in his Deck , and the Commons cheer Shinji on . Even Shinji mocks the card , commenting that drawing such a useless card has sealed Yuya ' s fate . Yuya replies that there ' s no such thing ; every card has a purpose . He states that he believes that if he listens , the card will respond to him . He thinks to himself that he wants to prove that in this tournament , and he remembers adding the " Tuning Magician " card to his Deck . Yuya thinks that there ' s no way that " Tuning Magician " is a card that is only capable of hurting its user . He activates the Pendulum Effect of " Extra Slinger " , allowing him to inflict 300 damage to his opponent for every Pendulum Monster face - up in his Extra Deck . He has two , so he inflicts 600 damage . " Extra Slinger " fires an arrow of energy at Shinji , reducing him to 3200 LP , and Yuya explains that this will prevent him from Pendulum Summon ing during this turn , before ending his turn . Shinji realizes that Yuya was aiming for drawing a Pendulum Monster with " Match Pump " to increase the effect damage of " Extra Slinger " , but that he didn ' t count on this at all . He comments that drawing such a useless card spelled Yuya ' s doom . Shinji declares his turn and draws , before declaring that he ' ll bring an end to that useless card . He attacks " Tuning Magician " with " Hama the Evil - Crushing Bow " , and " Hama " extends an arrow from its wrist and fires , destroying " Tuning Magician " . Yuya yells his monster ' s name , and Shinji that this is it before he activates the effect of " Hama " to attack again . " Hama " fires again , but Yuya activates the Pendulum Effect of " Performapal Gongato " to reduce the damage from a direct attack to zero . " Gongato " beats its chest , and the resulting soundwaves deflect the arrow that " Hama " fired . Melissa cries that Yuya has blocked it , but Shinji retorts that they ' re not done yet . He activates another effect of " Hama " since it failed to inflict battle damage , allowing him to inflict 300 damage for each " Battlewasp " monster in his Graveyard . He has seven , three " Pin the Hits " , " Azusa " , " Battlewasp - Sting the Poison " , " Battlewasp - Dart the Hunter " and " Battlewasp - Twinbow the Attacker " , so " Hama " will inflict 2100 damage . The monsters all rise behind " Hama " and form into energy , which " Hama " grasps in its left hand . As they round a corner , Shinji declares that this time he ' ll end it for sure , and he tells " Hama " to become the spark that lights the beacon of revolution . " Hama " fires the energy as Shinji roars Yuya ' s name . Without flinching , Yuya rounds another corner and he spies an Action Card in the center of the lane . The energy approaches as the card gleams in Yuya ' s goggles , and Sam cries Yuya ' s name – and then Yuya dodges the energy blast . Shinji is shocked that Yuya dodged it , and Yuya explains that he activated the Action Spell " Encore " , which allowed him to re - use the effect of an Action Spell in his Graveyard . Shinji is confused at first , but then he realizes what Yuya has chosen , and Yuya confirms that he chose " Acceleration " to negate the effect damage . Shinji calls Yuya a stubborn brat , though he notes that the match is already over , and that it ' s no use drawing it out before he Set s a card to end his turn . They pass a building filled with worried Topsiders , and Yuya declares that it won ' t end like this . He declares his turn and he draws , and Shinji immediately activates his Continuous Trap Card , " Bee Formation " during Yuya ' s Draw Phase . When a monster is Normal or Special Summoned to Yuya ' s field , it will increase the ATK of a monster that Shinji controls by 400 . A swarm of bees arise and form an infinity symbol behind " Hama " , which glows with yellow energy . Shinji states that while he doesn ' t know what Yuya has drawn , the ATK of " Hama " will increase every time Yuya Summons a monster . Melissa claims that Shinji has sealed his victory and wonders if Yuya can make a comeback as Yuya looks at his draw . Roget wonders if it ' s already over for Yuya , and he admits that he may have overestimated him , flicking over a black pawn on his chessboard , while Jack remains impassive on his throne . Yuya looks at the card that he drew , " Monster Reborn " , a Spell Card that allows him to Special Summon a monster from either Graveyard . There are seven different monsters in the Graveyard , but even if Yuya takes control of " Azusa the Spirit Bow " with the highest ATK , he can ' t beat " Hama the Evil - Crushing Bow " . As he sees an image of " Azusa " in his mind ' s eye , he notices a glow next to him coming from an image of the saddened " Tuning Magician " . The glow intensifies , and then Yuya suddenly sees a glimpse of a robed swordsman in a similar manner to his first vision of " Rune - Eyes " . Yuya sees images of several cards , " Gongato " , " Extra Slinger " , " Silver Claw " , " Timebreaker Magician " , " Bee Formation " , and finally his " Gap Power " Spell Card before stopping at the image of the robed swordsman , who turns his head to look at Yuya with one eye . Yuya ' s eyes widen as he realizes what " Tuning Magician " wanted . Yuya declares that he ' ll use the currently Set Scale 2 " Gongcat " and the Scale 6 " Extra Shooter " to Pendulum Summon , and he declares , " Revive from my Extra Deck ! " as he Pendulum Summons " Silver Claw " and " Timebreaker Magician " . Shinji muses that he sees ; with a Pendulum Summon , Yuya can Summon two monsters at once , but the ATK of " Hama " will still increase due to the effect of " Bee Formation " , rising to 3200 . He activates " Monster Reborn " , Special Summoning a monster from the Graveyard , and he revives " Tuning Magician " , telling it to lend him her power once again . Melissa asks why Yuya Summoned " Tuning Magician " again , and she asks what Yuya is thinking . Yuya reminds Shinji that the effect of " Tuning Magician " will cause Yuya to take 400 damage while increasing Shinji ' s LP by 400 . Yuya falls to 100 LP from the sound waves of " Tuning Magician " and Shinji rises to 3600 LP . Sam gasps that Yuya only has 100 LP , and Shinji asks if Yuya has lost his mind . He reminds Yuya that the Summon will increase the ATK of " Hama " through the effect of " Bee Formation " , and " Hama " rises to 3600 ATK . Melissa observes the 3600 ATK of " Hama " , and she stuffily mutters that she told Yuya so . The Topsiders and Commons all wonder what Yuya is thinking by Summoning that useless card . Yuya declares that he is tuning the Level 4 " Silver Claw " and the Level 3 " Timebreaker Magician " with the Level 1 " Tuning Magician " . Both Shinji and Roget react in shock as the monsters begin to perform the Summon , and Yuya chants , " Hero ' s blade that sets forth unyielding light ! Now , awaken with a flash ! Synchro Summon ! Level 8 ! Enlightenment Paladin ! " The Synchro Monster brandishes its swords and stands with 2500 ATK as Melissa declares that Yuya has Synchro Summoned . Sam , Declan , and Celina all watch in shock , and Celina asks if Yuya just performed a Synchro Summon from a Pendulum Summon . Roget reacts in pleased surprise , and Crow is shocked as well to see that Yuya has a Synchro Monster . Shinji states that it ' s too late ; not only is the ATK of " Hama the Evil - Crushing Bow " already at 3600 , but the effect of " Bee Formation " will increase it by another 400 since Yuya just Summoned . " Hama " rises to 4000 ATK . Yuya activates the effect of " Enlightenment Paladin " and the monster puts its swords together as a clock face appears over it . Since it was Synchro Summoned using a " Magician " monster as Synchro Material , Yuya can add a Spell Card from his Graveyard to his hand . The field turns blue , and time appears to rewind as Shinji asks what on earth is happening . Yuya retrieves " Gap Power " and immediately activates it , adding half the difference between his LP and that of Shinji to the ATK of " Enlightenment Paladin " . " Enlightenment Paladin " rises to 4250 ATK , much to Shinji ' s shock . Yuya explains that the repeated use of the effect of " Tuning Magician " enabled the gap in their LP to widen , thus allowing the ATK of " Enlightenment Paladin " to surpass that of " Hama " . Shinji is thunderstruck , and Sam is shocked that " Tuning Magician " could be used in such a manner . Yuya explains that he could Synchro Summon thanks to " Tuning Magician " , and every card has a purpose . As long as he believes in the potential of a card , then that card will always respond . Upon hearing this comment , Jack smiles proudly . Yuya orders " Enlightenment Paladin " to attack " Hama the Evil - Crushing Bow " . " Enlightenment Paladin " attacks , and " Hama " blocks the strike , before firing an arrow from its wrist . " Enlightenment Paladin " blocks the arrow with one of its swords and strikes a pose before joining the swords at the hilt and spinning them through the air , creating a symbol similar to a clock face before slicing through " Hama " , destroying it . Shinji falls to 3350 LP and the Commons bemoan the loss of their monster . Yuya continues by announcing the effect of " Enlightenment Paladin " ; since it destroyed a monster in battle , the ATK of that monster is dealt to the opponent as damage . Shinji panics , remembering how high the ATK of " Hama " was , and Crow finishes grimly that it was 4000 . " Enlightenment Paladin " blasts an energy surge in the shape of " Hama " at Shinji , and he screams in frustration and loss as his LP falls to zero and his Duel Runner deactivates . Melissa declares that it ' s over ; Yuya Sakaki has escaped a crisis with a vicious counterattack and emerged victorious . The Topsiders congratulate Yuya , sighing in relief and the noise of the crowd echoes through the Duel Palace . Roget stands in his office with a smile as he holds a black pawn piece , musing Yuya ' s name before turning and leaving his office with a chuckle . Featured Duel : Yuya Sakaki vs . Shinji Weber .
