It first aired in Japan on May 11 , 2014 , and in Canada on August 21 , 2015 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on November 15 , 2016 . Summary . In a Duel Arena , Yuya Sakaki activates " Stargazer Magician " in the right Pendulum Zone and " Timegazer Magician " in the left Pendulum Zone . He Pendulum Summon s " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " in Attack Position . The crowd cheers as " Odd - Eyes " appears . Yuya commands " Odd - Eyes " to lay waste to all it sees and declares an attack on the opponent ' s " Tyrant Dragon " with " Spiral Flame Strike " . As the attack destroys " Tyrant Dragon " , the crowd cheers for Yuya . Frederick exclaims that Yuya did it , while Ally says Yuya is now the Dueling Champion . Yuya holds up the trophy , celebrating his victory . Zuzu , Skip , Yoko and Gong are present in the audience as well . Zuzu and Tate congratulate Yuya for winning , while Gong breaks down into tears . As Yuya looks into the trophy , he thanks his father for getting him this far and for bringing smiles to people ' s faces ( in the dub , Yuya dedicates this victory to Yusho ; the real prize isn ' t the trophy , but making the audience smile ) . From afar , Yusho watches his son celebrate . Yuya looks up at Yusho and a tear rolls down his cheek . A voice yells , " As expected from my teacher ! " ( " That Duel was Pendulum - tastic , Coach Y ! " in the dub ) , as Sora Perse runs to Yuya and embraces him . Yuya asks what Sora is doing here and Sora says Yuya is amazing ( in the dub , Sora tells Yuya he picked him to be his teacher because he knew Yuya would win ) . He begs Yuya to be his teacher . Flustered , Yuya falls off a rocky planet and into a dark void . However , these events turn out to be a dream as Yuya falls out of his bed . He gets up and takes his pendant . He thinks being the Champion is a dream , but Pendulum Summon ing isn ' t a dream . He really did it ; after all , he defeated the Sledgehammer using that tactic . Yuya resolves to bring smiles to more and more people with his Dueling , just like Yusho ( in the dub , Yuya reminds himself that winning the Duel doesn ' t matter , it ' s making the audience smile that does ; he resolves to believe in himself and his Deck to achieve that dream ) . As Yuya leaves his bedroom , he wonders what ' s the deal with Sora . He took out Sylvio and his goons the other day and asked to be his apprentice right after . Barking is heard and Yuya turns to find En and Core , his pet dog and cat , respectively . He greets them and picks up En . He remarks on how much En had grown . Back then , when Yoko took En in , he was small enough to fit in Yuya ' s hand . En barks happily . Yuya greets Core with a good morning as well . Downstairs , Yoko calls Yuya for breakfast ( in the dub , Yoko encourages her guest to eat up ) as Yuya slides down a pole . He asks his mother if she picked up another stray before finding out that Sora is sitting on the dining table . He greets Yuya by calling him " teacher " ( in the dub , Sora answers Yuya ' s question himself ; Yoko invited him in ) , causing Yuya to fall flat on his face . Angry at Sora ' s presence , Yuya asks Sora why he is here . Yoko says she saw Sora wandering around the house and couldn ' t help but give him breakfast . She gives a plate of pancakes to Yuya . Yuya tells Yoko not to just pick up people like that ( in the dub , Yuya tells his mother that she should have given him food to go ) and Yoko asks if Sora is Yuya ' s apprentice . Yuya slams his fist on the table , responding with a harsh " No ! " He mellows out and admits that Sora can ' t just say things like that around the house ( in the dub , Yuya complains that Sora shows up at the worst times , which is all the time ) . Sora says this isn ' t a big deal , as Yoko ' s pancakes are delicious ( in the dub , Sora mocks Yuya for not learning about manners ) . He accidentally calls Yoko Yuya ' s sister rather than his mother , much to Yoko ' s surprise . Sora apologizes to Yoko because she looked young and beautiful enough to be a sister . As the word " sister " echoes in her mind , Yoko gladly forgives Sora and calls him an honest child for complimenting her youth and beauty . She allows Sora to have more pancakes as she takes Yuya ' s plate of pancakes and gives it to Sora . Yuya protests that this is his food , but Sora thanks Yoko for it . As Yuya is frustrated at the current situation , Sora asks what other flavors of syrup are around ( in the dub , Sora is excited at Yoko ' s offer to make waffles and French toast ) . As Yuya and Zuzu walk to school , Zuzu asks Yuya if Sora really is at Yuya ' s house ( in the dub , Zuzu also asks Yuya if Sora is the one who wanted to learn Dueling from him ) . Yuya confirms it , but admits that he doesn ' t know how Sora tracked him all the way home ( in the dub , Yuya is frustrated because no matter how hard he tries , he can ' t get rid of Sora ) . Sora yells " Teacher ! " ( " Coach Y ! " in the dub ) elsewhere and Yuya continues that Sora had been calling him that . He turns around to find Sora right behind him and Zuzu . Irritated , he asks how Sora got here and why he is following him . Sora responds that he is Yuya ' s apprentice . Anywhere Yuya goes , he follows ( in the dub , Sora refuses to leave because he hasn ' t had his first lesson from Yuya ; he ' s ready whenever Yuya says it ) . Yuya reminds Sora that he doesn ' t recall making him his apprentice at all ( in the dub , Yuya tries to drill the fact that he didn ' t want Sora to be around into the blue - haired boy ' s head ) , but Sora insists he be Yuya ' s apprentice . He was fascinated by Yuya ' s Duels and expressed interest in Pendulum Summoning . Sora wants to do Pendulum Summoning on his own , but Yuya tells him that he needs Pendulum Monster s first . Sora begs Yuya to show him again . He turns to Zuzu and asks her to tell Yuya to show the Pendulum Summon . Zuzu asks why , and Sora replies that Yuya will do it because his girlfriend asked him to . Zuzu blushes and repeats , " girlfriend ? " Sora asks if he got that wrong , and Yuya and Zuzu reply with a simultaneous " Yes ! " ( in the dub , he asks if Yuya and Zuzu are sweethearts , which they respond with " Of course not ! " ) . Yuya points at a still - blushing Zuzu and questions why he would be with a strong , crude girl like her ( in the dub , Yuya says that there is nothing sweet about her ) . Upon hearing this , Zuzu whacks Yuya with her paper fan . She storms off and angrily mutters why Yuya had to say it that way . Sora asks if Yuya is alright , concerned ( in the dub , Sora comments that Zuzu likes Yuya ) . At Paradise Prep , Yuya holds his " Magician " cards while a textbook is in front of him . He muses that if anyone has Pendulum Monsters , they can perform Pendulum Summons . Back then , Sylvio used them to Pendulum Summon his own monsters under the Leo Corporation President ' s instructions . From outside the classroom , Sora spies on Yuya with a pair of binoculars . He mutters that Yuya is making a serious face and wonders what ' s wrong with him . Throughout the rest of the day , Sora appears to Yuya cheering him on during a soccer game , from behind a bush during lunch time , underneath his desk during another class , and even in an adjacent stall the boy ' s bathroom . This causes Yuya to scream in frustration . After school , Zuzu asks Yuya how long he will keep down like that ( in the dub , Zuzu also comforts Yuya by telling him Sora was trying to cheer him up ) . Before Yuya can answer , Zuzu encourages him not to bring that attitude to You Show Duel School ( in the dub , Zuzu reminds Yuya he doesn ' t take everything too seriously ; she offers a Duel with Yuya to cheer him up ) . Things are rough enough for them there as they are right now . She also reminds Yuya that being a fun and bright entertainer is his motto . Yuya admits that Zuzu is right and returns to his normal , cheerful attitude . He states he is switching gears and going into overdrive ( in the dub , Yuya accepts the offer ) , pleasing Zuzu . At You Show , Yuya introduces himself with a " Ladies and Gentlemen ! " ( " The one and only Yuya Sakaki is ready to take the stage ! " in the dub ) , but stops short when he sees Sora seated next to Frederick and Ally . Yuya is shocked that Sora is here as well . Frederick says Yuya is late , while Ally says he kept his apprentice waiting . Skip pulls Yuya aside and asks if Sora is enrolling into You Show . Yuya pushes him aside and insists that Sora isn ' t his apprentice . Sora challenges Yuya to a Duel so that he can see the Pendulum Summon . He remarks on how cool the Summon is and that he is looking forward to it . Yuya asks why he should Duel Sora ( in the dub , Yuya outright refuses to teach Sora ) , causing him to tear up . Ally asks Yuya if he feels sorry for Sora ( in the dub , Ally agrees with Sora ' s point of never bothering Yuya again after this Duel ) , while Frederick says Yuya should just Duel Sora . Even Skip and Zuzu are touched by Sora , as the latter says Yuya Dueling Sora just this once is fine . Skip scolds Yuya because he does not remember training him to be a Duelist who runs away from a challenge ( in the dub , Skip scolds Yuya for refusing because doing so would bring dishonor to You Show , not to mention that they have to return Sora ' s tuition fees ) . Sora insists on Dueling Yuya , with wide eyes . Yuya does not fall for Sora ' s expression and refuses the challenge . Sora appears disappointed and Yuya finally gives in . Sora is excited , but Yuya puts in a condition : if he wins , Sora will stop following him around and call him " teacher " . He agrees and states the opposite condition : if he wins , he will continue following Yuya around and call him " teacher " . Yuya asks , " What ? " in bewilderment . In You Show ' s Dueling arena , Sora jumps up and down , saying this will be exciting . Skip announces the start of the Duel and activates the Action Field Spell Card , " Wildest West " . The Solid Vision machine transforms the arena into a Wild West setting . Sora looks around the activated Field Spell and calls it boring , saying he dislikes boring things ( in the dub , Sora calls the current Action Field weak and asks for a cooler one ) . Skip is surprised and Sora asks if he has any interesting Field Spells to use ( in the dub , Sora wants to Duel Yuya on a more imaginative Field ) . To please Sora , Skip changes the Action Field Spell into " Sweets Island " . The Wild West disappears and is replaced by an island with structures made out of candy and desserts . Sora is finally satisfied as he looks around happily . He thanks Skip for the Field Spell and Skip calls him adorable , much to Yuya ' s disappointment . Yuya gets his act together and both players activate their Duel Disk s . Zuzu , Tate , Frederick , and Ally recite the Action Duel chant , while Yuya and Sora finish yell " Action Duel ! " as Action Card s are scattered throughout the field . Yuya goes first and Normal Summons " Performapal Hip Hippo " . Knowing that the first player cannot attack , he ends his turn as he starts riding on " Hip Hippo " . Sora goes next and draws " Toy Vendor " . He subsequently activates it ; once per turn , he can discard a card to draw a card and reveal it ; Sora discards " Fusion Recovery " . As he does so , a gold coin appears and inserts itself into " Toy Vendor " . He continues that if the card is a Level 4 or lower monster , it is Special Summon ed . Otherwise , it is discarded . Sora draws " Fluffal Bear " . " Toy Vendor " raises its arm and a prize rolls down from it . The prize pops open , as Sora Special Summons " Bear " in Attack Position . Sora then Normal Summons " Fluffal Leo " . Skip notes that Sora used a Continuous Spell Card to Summon two monsters in one turn . Zuzu agrees and says Sora must be a good Duelist . She and Ally agree that the monsters Sora Summoned are cute . As Yuya continues riding on " Hip Hippo " , he wonders what got into the girls . Tate and Frederick warn Yuya to watch out in front of him . Yuya turns just in time to see a lake of juice right in front of him . " Hip Hippo " runs at the lake ' s edge , causing it and Yuya to fall in . As they surface , Sora declares the start of his Battle Phase . He attacks " Hip Hippo " with " Leo " as the monster leaps into the air and charges toward Yuya . Yuya is shocked that " Leo " has more ATK than " Hip Hippo " , but quickly regains his composure and says he was just kidding . He activates the Action Card , " Evasion " , negating the attack . Yuya and " Hip Hippo " somersault away from the attack before it connects . Sora tells Yuya not to dodge , as it is unfair . Yuya tells him otherwise ; this is an Action Duel after all ( in the dub , Yuya says it won ' t be easy for Sora to just destroy his monsters ) . Frederick asks how Yuya managed to pick up an Action Card at this point . Tate realizes that Yuya found the card in the lake . Yuya confirms that Tate is right . Zuzu , Ally and Skip warn Yuya about something else in front of him . He looks ahead and he and " Hip Hippo " run straight into a cake roll . To everyone ' s relief , Yuya and " Hip Hippo " emerge from the top of the cake . Sora attacks " Hip Hippo " with " Bear " . " Bear " jumps up , and aims for Yuya , but Yuya gets ready with another Action Card , much to Zuzu ' s excitement . Skip is stunned , wondering how Yuya knew the Action Card was in the cake ( in the dub , Skip wonders if both Duelists will have to go on a diet if all the Action Cards were hidden in the desserts ) . Yuya activates the Action Card , " Candy Shower " . An orange orb shoots up to the sky and explodes , causing candy to rain down . Sora is in awe , but turns to find " Bear " eating a pile of candy in front of it . He asks why " Bear " is eating instead of attacking and Yuya explains that " Candy Shower " changes an attacking monster to Defense Position . Shocked , Sora ends his turn . He turns around and starts looking for an Action Card to use . Yuya starts his next turn , landing on cake batter after he draws . He looks up to find Sora trying to climb a house made out of waffle cones with the help of " Leo " and " Bear " . Yuya and " Hip Hippo " dash ahead . As they do so , Sora tries to reach an Action Card , which is on the beak of a rooster wind vane . Before he can grab the card , a gust of wind blows the card to the ground . " Hip Hippo " runs and jumps , allowing Yuya to catch the card . He calls this a lucky catch as he lands . Sora calls this unfair . Since Yuya got a good card , he decides to introduce Sora to what everyone had been waiting for ( in the dub , Yuya reminds Sora he wanted a Dueling demo , and this is what he ' s getting ) . Sora is excited and Yuya activates " Stargazer Magician " in the right Pendulum Zone and " Timegazer Magician " in the left Pendulum Zone . Tate and Frederick are excited at the Pendulum Summon as well . Yuya explains that he can Pendulum Summon multiple monsters whose Levels are between 2 and 7 and chants , " Swing , Pendulum of the soul ! Draw an arc of light across the ether ! " He Pendulum Summons " Performapal Skeeter Skimmer " , " Performapal Sword Fish " , and " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " . Sora calls the Pendulum Summon amazing . Yuya continues his turn and activates the effect of " Sword Fish " , which reduces the ATK of an opponent ' s monster by 600 . He targets " Leo " as multiple after - images of " Sword Fish " appear around it and surround " Leo " . Yuya activates the Action Card he picked up earlier , " Nanana " , increasing the ATK of a monster by 700 until the End Phase . He yells , " Entermate Nanana , lend me your strength ! " as he places the card in his Duel Disk . The Nanana mascot appears and increases the ATK of " Odd - Eyes " to 3200 ( Yuya activating " Nanana " is cut from the dub , though Yuya still explains its effect ) . Tate repeats the value in amazement . Yuya declares the start of of his Battle Phase and attacks " Leo " with " Odd - Eyes " . " Odd - Eyes " charges at " Leo " , before leaping up and destroying it with " Spiral Flame Strike " . The attack knocks Sora off the roof , but a pillow of marshmallows cushions his fall , reducing his Life Points to 1800 . Skip exclaims that dealing 2200 damage in one attack is what a burning - hot Duel is all about . Frederick exclaims he is getting the shivers , but realizes that " Odd - Eyes " should have dealt double the damage by its own effect . Tate corrects him ; it only works if " Odd - Eyes " is attacking a Level 5 or higher monster . Frederick says he understands now , as " Leo " is Level 4 . Yuya ends his turn , with the ATK of " Odd - Eyes " returning to 2500 . Sora , lying on the marshmallow bed , is still unconscious . Ally wonders if he is alright . Skip asks Yuya if the attack he just made was a little too hot - blooded , while Zuzu asks Yuya if he felt sorry for him . Yuya is confused because this is a Duel ( in the dub , Zuzu tells Yuya to take it a bit more easier on Sora , while Yuya replies that Sora wanted to Duel for real ) . Suddenly , they hear laughter from Sora . He wakes up and gets back on his feet , excited about the Pendulum Summon Yuya performed ( in the dub , Sora adds that this last attack made him more determined to be Yuya ' s student ) . He begins his next turn . After drawing , he says he will show Yuya the full power of his Deck . Yuya asks Sora what he means - was Sora not acting seriously until now ? Sora tells Yuya to find out . He activates the effect of " Toy Vendor " again , discarding " Instant Fusion " . Sora chants , " What ' ll come out , what will it be ? " ( " I can ' t wait to see what card it ' s gonna be " in the dub ) before he draws . The card is " Edge Imp Sabres " , which is Special Summoned to Sora ' s field . Sora follows up with " Polymerization " , shocking Yuya ( in the dub , Sora struggles to pronounce " Polymerization " before Yuya corrects him ) . Sora decides to fuse " Edge Imp Sabres " with " Fluffal Bear " . He chants , " Claws of the demon and fangs of the beast , become one and reveal to us your new form ! " ( " Edge of sharpness and fury of bear ! When the two come together , you had better be bear ! " in the dub ) Frederick asks what ' s going on and Tate says this is a Fusion Summon - a player can fuse two monsters together to Special Summon a new one from the Extra Deck . Sora ' s Duel Disk crackles with yellow energy and opens to reveal the Extra Deck compartment . A card slips out and Sora takes it . He continues his chant with , " Come forth , horrifying beast that shreds all ! " ( " The most unbearable monster you ' ve ever seen , Frightfur Bear ! " in the dub ) as he Fusion Summons " Frightfur Bear " . ( the sequence of scissor blades ripping out of " Frightfur Bear " is cut from the dub ) Zuzu notes that the monster Sora Summoned is a Fusion Monster ( in the dub , Zuzu notes that the monster isn ' t as cuddly anymore ) . Ally clings to Zuzu , scared of " Frightfur Bear " . Zuzu reassures her it will be okay , while Frederick calls Fusion Summoning amazing ; Tate says this is the first time he saw a Fusion Summon . Sora grins and tells Yuya that he will show him what happens when he gets serious . Yuya starts to get determined to defeat Sora . Featured Duels . Yuya Sakaki vs . Unknown Duelist ( Dream ) .
