ARC - V - Episode 116 " A Towering Achievement " , known as " Protectors of the Sun and Moon " in the Japanese version , is the one - hundred and sixteenth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . It first aired in Japan on July 31 , 2016 and in Canada on November 11 , 2017 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on June 13 , 2017 . Summary . A Duel Academy professor is instructing his students on a situation where a Fusion Summon will fail when all of a sudden Yugo and his Duel Runner materialize on his desk and Yugo snaps that his name isn ' t Fusion , it ' s Yugo , much to the shock of both the professor and his red jacketed students . Yugo soon breaks down the door and roars out of the room , yelling that he isn ' t a failure . The poor professor can only protest that bikes aren ' t allowed in the hallways , and Yugo retorts that it ' s a Duel Runner , not a bike . He weaves through more students and then he loudly and angrily asks where he is . Yusho , Alexis and Kite all step off the boat , and Alexis observes that it ' s odd that there ' s no Duel Academy soldiers . Yugo waits in the shadows as Yusho observes that it may be because Leo Akaba is expecting them , much to Alexis ' surprise . Kite declares that Lulu is in that tower , so he has to rescue her even if it is a trap . He runs off , and Yugo calls to him . Kite swiftly grabs Yugo ' s arm and pins him to the ground with his arm twisted behind his back , and Yugo yelps that he gives up in English . Kite calls him a Fusion follower , and Yugo protests that it ' s not Fusion , it ' s Yugo . For once Yugo ' s clarification actually works , and Kite realizes that Yugo is the person that Alexis mentioned and he lets him go , telling him that they have to hurry before running off . Yugo wonders what ' s wrong with Kite , and Alexis asks how Yugo got here before they did . Yugo explains that Zuzu ' s bracelet glowed and then he was here . Alexis is confused by his wording , and Yugo admits that he ' s not sure himself and it ' s happened a lot of times before . He asks where they are , and Alexis explains that they ' re at Duel Academy . Yugo is surprised to learn that he ' s at Duel Academy , and Alexis adds that they know where Rin is as well . Yugo quickly grabs Alexis ' lapels and he asks where she is , and Alexis points him towards the tower on the coast where Rin is . Yugo lets go , yelling that Alexis should have said so sooner , and he gets on his Duel Runner where he hid it and roars off . Yusho warns him to be careful , since this could be a Duel Academy trap , but Yugo isn ' t listening . Yusho smiles and he admits that there ' s no point in saying anything and he suggests that they get going . Alexis agrees , and they look up at Duel Academy as Yusho says , " To Leo Akaba . " Yugo drives through a tunnel and into a canyon , whispering Rin ' s name in his head . He catches sight of the Eastern Tower and he observes that Rin is up there , isn ' t she ? He tells her to wait for him ; he ' s coming to get her . Kite has also reached the Western Tower and he urges Shay to be patient as he ' s going to save Shay ' s sister . On Declan ' s speedboat , Yuya explains that Celina is being controlled and has taken Zuzu to Duel Academy . Gong notes that if they include Shay ' s little sister Lulu then that makes three girls at Duel Academy . Yuya corrects him ; that Rin girl that Yugo is looking for is probably there . Yuto agrees , noting that Yugo mistook him for Yuri and chased him instead . Yuya muses that now the Professor has all of the girls that he wants . He asks Sora if he knows anything about why the Professor wants Zuzu and the others , and Sora replies that he thought he ' d already told Yuya that he doesn ' t know . The Arc Project headed by the Professor is to unite the Four Dimensions . Yuya muses that there are girls who look like Zuzu in all of the other dimensions and Gong adds that for some reason the Professor needs all four girls . Declan narrows his eyes as Sora states that the world is divided into four dimensions , and if the Professor was looking for the four girls in each dimension , then maybe the four of them are connected to the Arc Project . Yuya whispers Zuzu ' s name and Gong comments that he gets it ; if they rescue the girls then they ' ll probably stop the Arc Project . Yuya agrees that they have to rescue them as soon as possible , as do the other assembled Lancers . Kite reaches the top of the Western Tower to find a woman dressed in white Greek clothing carrying a staff , who introduces herself as Diana , the guardian of the Western Tower . Kite asks if Lulu is here , but Diana replies that he ' ll have to defeat her to pass , and she tosses her staff aside and she activates her Duel Disk . Kite replies that he ' ll crush her , and he activates his own Duel Disk , and both Duelists cry " Duel ! " Diana takes the first turn , and she activates the Spell Card " Polymerization " , fusing " Guardian Baou " and " Penumbral Soldier Lady " from her hand . She chants , " The two warriors become one when the shining moonlight strikes the flamberge ! Fusion Summon ! Penumbral Keeper ! Descend ! " She activates the effect of " Penumbral Keeper " , Special Summon ing a " Keeper Shield Token " , which will prevent Kite from attacking " Penumbral Keeper " . Diana Sets a card , ending her turn . Yugo drives up the stairs of the Eastern Tower , and he roars onto the landing , calling Rin ' s name . A man in a large red cape stands before him , and he introduces himself Apollo , the guardian of the Eastern Tower . Yugo orders him to can it ; he doesn ' t care whether he ' s called Afro or Popolo but he has no business with an old man . He asks where Rin is and he orders Apollo to bring her to him , but Apollo replies that he ' ll have to beat him if he wants her , and he activates his Duel Disk . Yugo groans that it ' s a pain , and he activates his own Duel Disk , and replies that he ' ll destroy Apollo as he wishes . Both Duelists cry " Duel " , and Apollo takes the first turn , activating " Polymerization " to fuse " Guardian Tryce " and " Luminous Soldier " from his hand . He chants , " The two warriors become one when the radiant sun strikes the twin blades ! Fusion Summon ! Luminous Keeper ! Descend ! " He activates the effect of " Luminous Keeper " , Special Summon ing a " Keeper Shield Token " , which will prevent Yugo from attacking " Luminous Keeper " . Apollo Sets a card , ending his turn . Yugo declares his turn and he draws and activates the Spell Card " Speedroid Scratch " from his hand , discarding a " Speedroid " from his hand to add another " Speedroid " from his Deck to his hand . He discards " Speedroid Den - Den Daiko Duke " and a coin appears and scratches a " Z " into the " Speedroid Scratch " card , which dissipates to reveal " Speedroid Double Yoyo " as Yugo adds it to his hand . He immediately Summons " Double Yoyo " and activates its effect since it was Normal Summon ed , Special Summon ing a Level 3 or lower " Speedroid " from his Graveyard . " Double Yoyo " blasts its sides into a graveyard portal and retrieves " Den - Den Daiko Duke " . Yugo tunes the Level 4 " Double Yoyo " with the Level 3 " Den - Den Daiko Duke " to Synchro Summon the Level 7 " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " . At the Western Tower , Kite declares his turn and he draws . He Summons " Cipher Wing " from his hand , and then Special Summons another from his hand since he controls a " Cipher Wing " . Next he activates the Continuous Spell Card " Double Exposure " , doubling the Level s of Level 6 or lower monsters with the same name . Both " Cipher Wings " become Level 8 , and Kite overlays them to Xyz Summon the Rank 8 " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " . Both " Clear Wing " and " Galaxy - Eyes " roar and bare their chests . Apollo observes that Yugo summoned his ace monster , and Diana comments that it seems that Kite wants to end the Duel quickly , but suggests that they have a little fun . Both Diana and Apollo activate the Continuous Trap Card " Admiration of the Keepers " . Apollo explains that it will negate the effect of " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " and Special Summon two more " Keeper Shield Tokens " to his field . " Clear Wing " glows red and two more Tokens appear from red light . Diana explains that it will negate the effect of " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " and Special Summon two more " Keeper Shield Tokens " to her field . " Galaxy - Eyes " glows blue and two more Tokens appear from blue light . Apollo explains that Yugo ' s targeted monster can attack all of the " Keeper Shield Tokens " , and Diana explains that if Kite ' s monster does not attack , on the other hand , it will be destroyed . Apollo asks what Yugo will do , will he attack his " Keeper Shield Tokens " , or … ? Diana asks if Kite will instead not attack and lose his ace monster . Kite scoffs that there was never a choice and he attacks a " Keeper Shield Token " with " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon ' s " " Cipher Stream of Destruction " , destroying it . Yugo declares his Battle Phase and he attacks a " Keeper Shield Token " with " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , destroying it . Apollo activates the effect of " Luminous Keeper " , lowering the ATK of the monster that destroyed a " Keeper Shield Token " by 800 and inflicting 800 damage to Yugo . " Clear Wing " falls to 1700 ATK and Yugo to 3200 LP . He laughs and explains that as Yugo keeps destroying his Tokens his monster ' s ATK will be lowered and his LP cut down ; will Yugo keep attacking ? Smoking from the damage , Yugo angrily muses that that ' s Apollo ' s goal . Diana activates the effect of " Moon Protector " , lowering the ATK of the monster that destroyed a " Protector ' s Shield Token " by 800 and increasing her LP by 800 . " Galaxy - Eyes " falls to 2200 ATK and Diana rises to 4800 LP . She laughs and explains that as Kite keeps destroying her Tokens his monster ' s ATK will be lowered and her LP increased ; will Kite keep attacking ? Kite calls her an impudent imitation . Apollo reminds Yugo that he can always end his turn if he wants his LP to stop falling , though he ' ll lose " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " if he does . Yugo snaps that he can ' t allow that , and he attacks the second " Keeper Shield Token " with " Clear Wing " , destroying it and triggering the effect of " Luminous Keeper " , reducing the ATK of " Clear Wing " by 800 , to 900 , and inflicting 800 damage to Yugo , reducing him to 2400 LP . Yugo orders " Clear Wing " to attack the third Token , destroying it and once again activating the effect of " Luminous Keeper " , reducing " Clear Wing " to 100 ATK and Yugo to 1600 LP . Kite also declares that there is only one thing that he can do no matter what trick Diana pulls , and he attacks the second " Keeper Shield Token " with " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " , destroying it and activating the effect of " Penumbral Keeper " , reducing the ATK of " Galaxy - Eyes " by 800 , to 1400 , and increasing Diana ' s LP by 800 , to 5600 . Kite urges Shay to be patient again and he promises to save Shay ' s sister . He attacks the third " Keeper Shield Token " with " Galaxy - Eyes " , destroying it and once again activating the effect of " Penumbral Keeper " , reducing " Galaxy - Eyes " to 600 ATK and increasing Diana to 5600 LP . Apollo observes that even though Yugo ' s LP was decimated , his ace monster is still here , though he wonders if there ' s even a point in having it when it only has a tiny 100 ATK . Yugo replies that there is , much to Apollo ' s surprise , and Yugo reminds Apollo that " Sun Protector " has lost all of its shields . Since Yugo took damage during the Battle Phase he can Special Summon " Speedroid Gum Prize " from his hand and then tune the Level 7 " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " with the Level 1 " Speedroid Gum Prize " . He chants , " Shine the wings that store the holy light , and strike down your enemies with its radiance ! Synchro Summon ! Come forth ! Level 8 ! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon ! " Apollo explains that " Admiration of the Keepers " is destroyed since it lost its target . He is shocked that Yugo was able to summon a stronger ace monster like this , but declares that Yugo can ' t beat him with just that . Yugo asks what Apollo is saying and he reminds him that his turn isn ' t over yet . When " Speedroid Gum Prize " is used for a Synchro Summon , Yugo can draw a card , and if it ' s a " Speedroid " he can send it to the Graveyard and add its ATK to " Crystal Wing " . He muses that this draw will decide it all , and he can ' t waste any time since Rin is right here . As he remembers Rin , he declares that he ' s counting on his cards and he draws . He draws " Speedroid Ohajikid " and cries , " Heck yes ! Bingo ! " " Gum Prize " appears and ejects a box , and " Ohajikid " emerges in a flash of light as Yugo explains that its 1000 ATK will be added to " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " , which rises to 4000 ATK . Yugo attacks " Luminous Keeper " with " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " , and Apollo protests that he ' ll still be able to survive to the next turn even if " Luminous Keeper " is destroyed . But Yugo revs his Duel Runner and tells Apollo to wait ; there ' s more . When " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " battles a Level 5 or higher monster , its effect increases its ATK by that of the other monster . " Crystal Wing ' s " blades glow blue as it rises to 6400 ATK , and Apollo repeats the ATK value in horror . " Crystal Wing " zig - zags through the air and attacks with " Krystallos Edge of Gales " , destroying " Luminous Keeper " and wiping Apollo out in a single blow . Yugo screeches to a halt , removes his helmet , and he runs inside the tower , calling Rin ' s name . Diana observes that even though her LP was increased , Kite ' s ace monster is still here , though she wonders if there ' s even a point in having it when it only has a tiny 600 ATK . Kite replies that of course there is , much to Diana ' s surprise , and Kite reminds Diana that " Penumbral Keeper " has lost all of its shields . He activates the Quick - Play Spell Card " Rank - Up - Magic Cipher Pursuit " , since there is a difference of at least 2000 between their LP , allowing him to target a monster he controls and Xyz Summon a " Cipher " monster that is one Rank higher . He chants , " Galaxy shining in the darkness . Release the forever unchanging light and become the beacon that illuminates the future ! Rank - Up Xyz Evolution ! Descend ! Rank 9 ! Neo Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon ! " Diana explains that " Admiration of the Keepers " is destroyed since it lost its target . Kite explains that the effect of " Cipher Pursuit " allows him to activate the effect of " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " , and he detaches all of its Overlay Units to activate its " Cipher Super Projection " effect . " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " streams light from its wings as Kite explains that the effect will negate the effects of Diana ' s monsters and allow him to take control of them , treating them as " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " until the End Phase and preventing them from attacking . Diana grits her teeth and she laments the loss of her monster . Kite also activates the Quick - Play Spell Card " Galaxy - Eyes Nova " , Tributing the second " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " to Special Summon " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " from his Graveyard . Diana backs away in horror , and Kite attacks directly with both " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " and " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " . Both monsters ascend above the clouds and deploy their wings , and Diana stumbles and falls as she begs Kite not to attack . Sunlight falls on Kite as he glares at Diana and he asks her if she is ready to repent . Diana screams in terror and Kite orders his monsters to attack with " Double Cipher Stream of Destruction " . The attack blasts away the clouds and slams Diana into the ground , wiping her out and knocking her unconscious . Kite glares at her until he remembers why he came here , and he calls Lulu ' s name and rushes into the Western Tower . The watching man who is standing beside the Professor smiles as he looks at the unconscious bodies of Diana and Apollo . Kite bashes the door open and finds Lulu sitting in a chair . Lulu is surprised to see Kite and she asks why he ' s here . Kite suggests that they go ; Shay is waiting , and Lulu agrees and she thanks Kite . Yugo has also just bashed Rin ' s door open , and Rin turns towards him from her seat on her bed as Yugo pants . Yugo whispers Rin ' s name and Rin gets up and says Yugo ' s name . As he ' s done to Zuzu and Celina before , Yugo cries Rin ' s name and he rushes towards her . . . and Rin knees him in the stomach several times , knocking the wind out of him . Rin angrily snaps that Yugo is late and she asks what took him so long . Poor Yugo can only weakly whisper Rin ' s name , and Rin tearfully explains that she ' s been waiting all this time ; anxious , powerless and scared . Tears pour down her face as she runs to Yugo and hugs him tightly , calling him an idiot . Yugo returns the hug and he whisper ' s Rin ' s name . The watching man holds up an Effect Monster - " Fusion Parasite " , and his mouth twists into a nightmarish grin . Yugo softly reassures Rin that it ' s okay ; he ' s here now . Rin agrees - and then her relieved smile twists into a mirror of the man ' s as a spider captures a butterfly in its web . . . Featured Duels . Kite Tenjo vs . Diana .
