Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V - Episode 014 " The Show Must Go On " , known as " Hotblooded ! ! Shuzo Theatre " in the Japanese version , is the fourteenth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . It first aired in Japan on July 13 , 2014 and in Canada on October 30 , 2015 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on November 15 , 2016 . Summary . Declan has forfeited his Duel against Yuya and told him who he was ( this event is cut from the dub , as it took place in the previous episode ) . As " Acrobatic Circus " disappears , Sora is impressed on how Declan is able to use Pendulum Summon ing ( in the dub , Sora says if LID had won , they would have taken the school ) . Yuya enters the observation room with his goggles over his eyes , with Zuzu , Ally , Tate , and Frederick running to him in concern . When they stop , Yuya falls to his knees , in disbelief that Declan could Pendulum Summon when it was supposed to be unique to Yuya himself . Zuzu mutters Yuya ' s name ( in the dub , Zuzu asks Yuya if he ' s okay ) . Skip comes in , relieved that LID left and he got to keep You Show Duel School , thanks to everyone protecting it . Sora points out that the only person who actually won out of the three who Dueled was Yuya ( in the dub , Sora adds that because of this , You Show messes around ) . Everyone is disappointed , while Tate lashes out at Sora because he did not Duel . Ally calls Sora a weakling , while Frederick adds that You Show doesn ' t accept weaklings . Sora casually apologizes to the trio ( in the dub , Sora simply says he made an observation ) before walking away , with Skip asking where he ' s going and scolding the other three children for talking that way . Frederick is still unmoved ; Ally says they don ' t need weaklings anyway ( in the dub , Ally is upset because LID called them losers ) . The three children promise to protect the school next time if they get attacked and ask Yuya to teach them " his " Pendulum Summoning . This time , Yuya lashes out at Tate , since Pendulum Summoning isn ' t " his " anymore . He pushes past Tate and runs away , not before Skip grabs him by the wrist . Skip asks Yuya where he ' s going ( in the dub , Skip understands that Yuya is upset ) . Reality won ' t change if he runs away from it ; like Yuya said before , Pendulum Summoning isn ' t unique to him anymore . Meanwhile , Declan , Henrietta , and Claude arrive at LID ' s control room ( in the dub , a scientist offers to get Declan coffee or tea as he arrives ; Declan politely refuses the offer ) . Declan asks his workers about Marco . The scientist next to him reports that the attack took place on Paradise City ' s District NLD - 038 at 5 : 54 PM , where LID picked up a strong Summon ing signal . Henrietta inquires on what the type of Summon was , which the scientist responds with Xyz Summon . She realizes that Yuya was with them during the attack , while Declan adds that Yuya did not know how to Xyz Summon at that time , making it clear that he was not the culprit ( in the dub , Henrietta ' s and Declan ' s lines are switched ; Declan also decides to continue monitoring You Show ) . Declan asks Claude where Marco is ; the assistant replies that Marco ' s whereabouts are still unknown . He calls over the Section Chief to bring in the evidence , which he does . Inside the plastic bag are a broken Duel Disk and some cards ; the investigation team got to the scene of the crime before anyone else and found them . The Chief says the evidence was damaged , but they belonged to Marco . Declan issues an order to use all of LID ' s resources to find Marco . At LID ' s lounge , Julia is with Kit and Dipper . She angrily questions why the staff wouldn ' t let them see Marco even though he ' s fine ; Marco should be happy to see her . Dipper guesses that Marco could be wrapped in bandages like Sylvio and refuse to let anyone see him like that . Julia snaps at Dipper for comparing her to Sylvio , the low piece of trash ( in the dub , Julia snaps at Dipper for not knowing what he ' s talking about ) . Kit wonders what could have happened to Sylvio if he was injured in a Duel that did not use an Action Field ( in the dub , Kit speculates that there ' s something the LID staff isn ' t telling them ) , before catching Julia run off in order to find out what really happened . At You Show , Skip explains that Pendulum Summoning was a power granted to Yuya , but more Pendulum users have shown up despite this . He asks Yuya if this is a shock to him ; he did not know how Declan got his hands on Pendulum cards , but it is likely that his company developed them . Skip reveals that Declan is the CEO of the Leo Corporation , the number one company of Duel systems . Decrypting the secrets of Pendulum Summoning could be child ' s play to them . If this is true , the whole world would be overflowing with Pendulum cards . At this point , Yuya shakes off Skip ' s grip ( in the dub , Yuya calls this unfair and Skip asks what Yuya would do , like run away as usual ) and Skip challenges him to a Duel to shake off that pessimistic attitude with his hot - blooded guidance ( in the dub , Skip states the conditions : if Yuya wins , he can continue to feel sorry for himself ; but if Skip wins , Yuya can ' t be that way ) . Zuzu begins to protest ( cut from the dub ) , but Skip ignores her , removes Yuya ' s goggles , and says the reason why Yuya couldn ' t beat Declan was because of the shock he experienced . Zuzu says Yuya was the one who won , while she lost ; if Skip should be mad at anyone , it should be her ( in the dub , Skip tells Yuya he promised Yusho he ' d look after him , while Zuzu protests that Yuya wants to be left alone ) . Gong places a hand on Zuzu ' s shoulder and convinces her not to interfere . Skip and Yuya are about to have a serious Duel ; he could tell through the determination in his eyes . Zuzu moves away from the group and uses her D - Pad to contact someone . As Skip drags Yuya to the Duel arena , Yuya protests that he never agreed ( Yuya ' s protests are edited out in the dub ) . Skip ignores him and asks Gong if the preparations are ready . While Yuya argues that he did not accept yet , Skip instructs Gong to start the Action Field . He does so , activating " Showtime Street " . The field is replaced with a big city setting with bright lights . While the children marvel at the sight , Zuzu and Yuya realize that this Yusho ' s Action Field specialty , which Skip confirms . Instead of Yusho , Skip will be the one to show Yuya what a true Action Duel feels like . Yuya demands if his Duels have been a fake ; Skip replies that his Duels are nothing compared to Yuya ' s , or even Skip ' s ( in the dub , Skip says Yuya is about all cards , but not spirit ) . Yuya finally accepts the Duel ( in the dub , Yuya is determined to prove Skip wrong ) , activates his D - Pad , and both challengers recite the Action Duel chant . Skip goes first and Normal Summon s " Guts Master Fire " . He activates its effect , which lets him Special Summon a " Guts Master " monster from his hand . " Fire " waves its sword and the launched flame forms a new monster as Skip Summons " Guts Master Heat " . Skip activates the effect of " Heat " , which is the same as that of " Fire " . " Heat " throws its football and it ignites , with Skip Summoning " Guts Master Red " , which forms from the flames . Tate is impressed that hot - blooded monsters are in play ; Ally thinks otherwise . Frederick is overwhelmed at the sight , while Zuzu is flustered ( their lines are cut from the dub ) . Gong notes that these are Skip ' s fighting spirit monsters . Skip Set s two cards and ends his turn , encouraging Yuya to come at him . As Yuya draws , Skip activates his face - down " Full Throttle Soul " , as he controls a " Guts Master " monster . Both players must play with their hands revealed . Frederick calls it unfair that only Yuya ' s hand was revealed . Ally reminds him to look carefully ; Skip has no cards in his hand . Tate deduces that this was why Skip Set his Spells and Traps . Skip is impressed that both " Stargazer Magician " and " Timegazer Magician " are in Yuya ' s hand ; he predicts that Yuya would Pendulum Summon and once again encourages him to come at him , unless he ' s afraid of being compared to Declan and is too afraid to actually Pendulum Summon , like the sore loser he is . Zuzu becomes enraged at her father for harassing Yuya . Ally is equally unimpressed at Skip ' s attitude and sticks her tongue at him . Instead of Pendulum Summoning , off the bat , Yuya opts to Normal Summon " Performapal Friendonkey " . He activates its effect , which allows him to Special Summon a Level 4 or less monster from his hand . The box on the side of " Friendonkey " opens and a burst of light flies out as Yuya Special Summons " Performapal Whip Snake " . Skip wonders why Yuya did not Pendulum Summon right away ( in the dub , Skip taunts Yuya by sarcastically calling the strategy interesting , before calling it boring ) , but Yuya angrily tells him to shut up and starts his Battle Phase . He has " Friendonkey " attack " Red " , but Skip activates the effect of " Fire " to prevent the destruction of a " Guts Master " monster by battle once per turn . " Fire " leaps in front of " Red " and gets headbutted by " Friendonkey " , reducing Skip to 3900 LP . " Red " kicks its soccer ball at " Heat " , who catches it , as Skip activates its effect : once per turn , when an Attack Position " Guts Master " monster battles , the opposing monster is destroyed after damage calculation . " Heat " dashes towards " Friendonkey " and tackles it , destroying it . Tate and Ally are shocked that Yuya ' s monster got destroyed . Gong is impressed at Skip ' s three monster combo , the technique of a true professional ( in the dub , Gong wonders what the lesson Skip is trying to teach here ) . Skip says he was just getting started ( in the dub , Skip hopes that Yuya is having as much fun as he is ) as he grabs on to a ring , swings on it , leaps , and snatches an Action Card on a building . Yuya curses and orders " Whip Snake " to attack " Red " . Skip nonchalantly says it ' s about time he showed Yuya a real Action Duel . He activates the Action Card he picked up , " Illusion Dance " . A lantern appears between the monsters and they start to dance , switching all them to Defense Position . Frederick and Tate remember that if a monster switches to Defense Position , its attack fails to go through . Skip himself starts dancing as well and invites Yuya to join in ; this is the true way of making the audience smile , the Yusho - style Action Duel ( in the dub , Skip calls this a Duel - taining party ; the party doesn ' t stop ) . Zuzu , readying her fan , is furious at her father for being full of himself . A voice behind her states that Skip is always like that . Zuzu turns to find Yoko , who explains that Skip wanted to get his message across more stylishly ( in the dub , Yoko replies that she left home as soon as she got Zuzu ' s message ) . As Zuzu wonders what the message is , Yuya ends his turn and all monsters return to Attack Position as " Illusion Dance " wears off . Yuya asks Skip if this is really his father ' s Dueling style ; Yusho was more flashier than that . Skip says this was his point all along ; Yusho was entertainment cooler and more magnificent than anyone else , though it wasn ' t always like that . Yusho brought thrills and speed to Action Dueling , but his acrobatics brought criticism . Eventually , the jeers turned into cheers as Yusho became the star of Action Dueling . Skip advises Yuya that the door to a new world won ' t open unless someone with courage pushes it . He reminds Yuya that his own door was " Pendulum " , but the concept isn ' t exclusive to him anymore . Eventually , anyone can Pendulum Summon . Skip draws " Exchanging Notes " on his turn ; the children wonder what it is . Skip activates the card he just drew . It allows him to draw two cards , but he will trade them for two cards in Yuya ' s hand . Skip draws " Guts Master Fire " and " Guts Master Heat " and throws them to Yuya , while he chooses to take " Stargazer Magician " and " Timegazer Magician " . Skip adds that the monsters he took can ' t be Normal or Special Summoned this turn ( in the dub , Skip wonders what magic those two " Magicians " will conjure up " ) and activates " Go Go Guts ! " , as two of his " Guts Master " monsters are in Yuya ' s hand ; he can return them to his hand . He reiterates that none of the monsters he has can be Normal Summoned this turn , but reminds Yuya that he can still Pendulum Summon . Skip activates " Stargazer " and " Timegazer " in his Pendulum Zones . As the spectators look on , Skip chants , " Light the flame of my soul with your burning red blood ! " ( " The pendulum is swinging , igniting the arc of victory ! " in the dub ) and Pendulum Summons " Fire and " Heat " . Yuya is in shock that Skip Pendulum Summoned , which Skip admonishes him for because Yusho would never feel that way . When other people started Action Dueling , he felt overjoyed . Yuya is surprised and Skip further explains that after learning about this , Yusho polished his skills . Everyone around him followed his example and made Action Dueling the way it is today through diligent training . Yuya recalls Declan ' s words of Yusho being the pioneer of Action Dueling ; even Declan admired Yusho . Skip tells Yuya that only the best know what it ' s like being the best and encourages Yuya to reach that goal . As the person who pioneered Pendulum Summoning , he has to set an example for those who want to follow and hone his skills against Declan . Skip ends his turn without attacking , to the children ' s surprise . Yoko reminds them that Skip is tactless . Tate deduces that Skip didn ' t need to go through the trouble of Pendulum Summoning and Yoko concludes that there are things more important than winning . If Skip didn ' t have that mindset , he wouldn ' t be as good a Duelist as he is now . Yoko leaves , but Zuzu stops her , asking why she ' s leaving . Yoko simply winks and says it ' s not her turn to chime in yet ( in the dub , Zuzu asks if Skip was really that good and Yoko replies that those that can do , while others prefer to help others do ) . At the End Phase , all cards exchanged via " Exchanging Notes " return to their owners ' hands , so Yuya regains " Stargazer " and " Timegazer " . Yuya remembers what Declan had told him about the evolution of Pendulum Summoning , then remembers what his father said to him : if he curls up in fear , he can ' t keep moving forward . If he wants to win , he must move forward ( Yusho ' s words are cut from the dub ; Yuya thinks he must match draw for draw if he is to follow Declan ' s words ; his Deck wouldn ' t feel sorry for itself , but he won ' t either ) . He admits that he can ' t see the next evolution of Pendulum Summoning yet and starts his turn . He yells , " Ladies and gentlemen ! " and instructs " Whip Snake " to come to him ; it coils itself around Yuya ' s arm . " Whip Snake " extends its body , wraps itself around a ring , and launches Yuya forward . Yuya lands on a light platform and swings from another ring with " Whip Snake " , while grabbing an Action Card from a building and activating it , " Illusion Dance " , to change all monsters to Defense Position . Frederick realizes this was the card Skip used before , while Ally wonders why Yuya is using it now . Zuzu clarifies that the effects of " Guts Master " monsters are active while they ' re in Attack Position . Tate notices that now that Skip ' s monsters are in Defense Position , they can ' t use their effects . Ally wonders why " Whip Snake " is still dancing ( Tate ' s and Ally ' s lines are cut from the dub ) . Yuya leaps from platform to platform and ends up on another building . He announces the main event and sets " Stargazer " and " Timegazer " in his Pendulum Zones , to Skip ' s happiness . He Pendulum Summons " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " , " Performapal Spikeagle " , and " Performapal Stamp Turtle " . Yuya swings on a ring , mounts " Odd - Eyes " , and activates the effect of " Spikeagle " to let " Odd - Eyes " inflict piercing battle damage this turn . " Spikeagle " flies around " Odd - Eyes " and glows with a green aura . Gong is surprised at the turn of events . Yuya follows up with the effect of " Stamp Turtle " , which lets him increase the Levels of all monsters on the field by 1 ; " Stamp Turtle " places its stamp on its sheet and a bright light flashes . Yuya activates the Action Card " Illusion Fire " , which lets him select a monster to attack all monsters his opponent controls once each . He declares his Battle Phase and orders " Odd - Eyes " to attack " Fire " with " Spiral Flame Strike " . " Spikeagle " joins in the attack as its body is cloaked in flames . Skip is impressed ; it ' s as if " Spikeagle " is a phoenix . " Spikeagle " rams into " Fire " , destroying it . The effect of " Odd - Eyes " doubles the battle damage , as it battled a Level 5 or higher monster , reducing Skip to 2300 LP . " Odd - Eyes " attacks " Heat " next . This time , " Stamp Turtle " joins in . It skips over the flames in panic before withdrawing into its shell and crashing into and destroying " Heat " . This brings Skip to 500 LP . Yuya announces the final attack ; " Odd - Eyes " attacks " Red " , with " Whip Snake " slithering into the flames and headbutting " Red " , destroying it and winning Yuya the Duel . As Skip is knocked back , he exclaims he ' s burning out ( in the dub , Skip exclaims he ' s been defeated ) . Yuya and all four of his monsters take a bow before the Action Field dissipates . He runs over to the unconscious Skip , cradles him into his arms , and asks if he ' s okay . Skip congratulates Yuya for doing well , explaining everything he wanted to convey got through before falling unconscious again ( in the dub , Skip says he taught everything he knew to Yuya and encourages him to go forward ) . Yuya yells , " PRINCIPAL ! " ( the words " Hot - Blooded Shuzo Theater : Fin " appears onscreen at this point ; the text is cut from the dub ) Zuzu whacks her fan on Skip ' s face . She yells at her father not to die like that . As Skip clutches his face in pain , he exclaims this must be youth . Yuya thanks Skip for the Duel and promises to train harder than anyone else ( in the dub , Yuya promises not to run away from his problems and to face them head - on ) so he can make the audience smile like his father one day . Zuzu mutters Yuya ' s name and ends with a look of determination on her face ( Zuzu ' s moment is cut from the dub ) . Featured Duel : Yuya Sakaki vs . Skip Boyle .
