Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V - Episode 017 " Menu Venue : Part 2 " , known as " An Exciting Performance ! ! A Fulfilling Meal ! " in the Japanese version , is the seventeenth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . It first aired in Japan on August 3 , 2014 and in Australia on November 8 , 2015 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on November 22 , 2016 . Summary . Nico recaps the events that happened in the previous episode : Yuya ' s opponent is the Cooking Duel Prince , Reed Pepper , to qualify for the Arc League Championship . Despite his aspirations , Yuya bore witness to his Pendulum Monster s being wiped out by Reed ' s " Royal Cookpal " monsters . Meanwhile , Gong is training himself by hauling a boulder over a cliffside . He promises to improve his Heavystrong Dueling more than ever and urges Yuya not to give up and aim for the top . Back at the Duel , Yuya curses at his own predicament , while Reed smiles calmly . All Yuya can do is Set a card and end his turn ( in the dub , Yuya says Reed may have him in a pickle , but won ' t be for long ) . Tate and Ally recall that Yuya ' s Pendulum Monsters were destroyed earlier ( in the dub , Tate and Ally wonder what Yuya will do now that his Pendulum Monsters are gone ) . Frederick asks if the matchup is even , because Reed returned his " Royal Cookpals " to his hand . Reed says he wonders about that ( in the dub , Reed says he ' ll soup things up in the Duel and bring things to a boiling point ) and takes his next turn . He remarks the preparations are ready , as " Food Cemetery " has three monsters in it , and activates the effect of " Wonder Recipe " , which lets him Special Summon a " Cookpal " monster for each card in " Food Cemetery " . Yuya realizes there are three cards in " Food Cemetery " and that the same " Royal Cookpals " Reed had before would come back . Reed exclaims the order is ready as he Special Summons " Royal Cookpal Knight Pasta " , " Royal Cookpal Prince Curry " , and " Royal Cookpal Princess Pudding " . Yuya stares the monsters down as he notes they are fearsome , but his stomach growls and he remarks they ' re delicious ( in the dub , Yuya says the monsters are ruining his appetite , which is a good thing because he ' s starving ) . Reed is kind enough to let Yuya ' s starving belly have its fill ( in the dub , Reed says Yuya will lose some weight and LP ) as he explains that " Wonder Recipes " will inflict 300 damage for each monster Special Summoned by its effect . Pellets of energy hit Yuya on his face , his stomach , and his bottom . Reed asks if this was too much for Yuya ' s stomach . Mrs . Pepper continues recording the Duel and congratulates her son for doing well . At Sansho ' s restaurant , said chef is watching the Duel from his tablet as Reed says the taste of his perfect recipe is amazing . Sansho wonders what Reed means before continuing his work ( in the dub , Sansho scoffs at the thought of Reed being the top chef ) . Reed activates the effect of " Knight Pasta " to double the ATK of " Prince Curry " and follows up with the effect of " Princess Pudding " to double the ATK further , to 1200 total . The housewives watching the Duel squee after seeing another one of Reed ' s set menus . Reed continues that " Princess Pudding " and " Knight Pasta " cannot attack the turn their effects are activate d . Yuya manages to get up and Reed points out that Yuya only has 1700 LP left and that " Prince Curry " needs a little more seasoning to finish him off . Reed jumps up a series of saucers before finding and taking an Action Card on the third one . He is satisfied that the Goddess of Cooking is smiling down on him ( in the dub , Reed remarks this is his pot - lucky day ) and activates the card he picked up , " Victory Topping " , which increases the ATK of a monster he control s by 600 until the End Phase . Tonkatsu materializes on the shield of " Prince Curry " , which Ally and Tate pick up on ( " win " and " fried pork ribs " have a " katsu " sound in Japanese , making this a visual pun ) . Reed declares his Battle Phase and the end of the Duel and attacks Yuya directly with " Prince Curry " . Tate exclaims Yuya will lose if the attack goes through , but Yuya activates his face - down " Performapal Call " , which negate s the attack . Furthermore , it allows Yuya to add two " Performapal " monsters from his Deck to his hand whose combined DEF is equal to the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated . He adds " Performapal Cheermole " and " Performapal Turn Toad " , though he cannot Summon monsters from his Extra Deck the turn he Summons the added monsters . Reed takes note of Yuya ' s earlier tactic and decides to counter with " Canning Cuisine " , since Yuya added cards to his hand outside of the Draw Phase . He can place " Cookpal " monsters from his Deck under " Food Cemetery " for each card Yuya added ; he chooses " Cookpal Lionion " and " Cookpal Rabbitomato " . Yuya exclaims that Reed added more cards to " Food Cemetery " , but Reed isn ' t done yet , as he activates " Food Fraud " , which lets him add two " Royal Cookpal " monsters from his Deck to his hand , which are " Royal Cookpal King Burger " and " Royal Cookpal Queen Omelette " . Yuya repeats Reed ' s last move as Reed asks him about what he thought about his prep - work ( in the dub , Yuya admits Reed ' s hand is tasty , while Reed replies that it will leave a bad taste in Yuya ' s mouth ) and adds that the monsters he retrieved cannot be Summoned this turn . Reed jumps down to his original spot and ends his turn , with the ATK boosts of " Prince Curry " wearing off . Said monster appears disappointed as its tonkatsu disappears . Yuya realizes that when Reed ' s turn comes , he ' ll have all five " Royal Cookpals " on his field and decides to do something to stop that . Yuya draws " Wall of Disruption " and is dissatisfied with it ; he can ' t do anything with it now . He decides to bet his next move on an Action Card as he leaps from saucer to saucer to try to reach one on a high plate . However , his stomach growls again as he realizes he ' s too hungry to even reach the card , causing him to fall on his back . The children are concerned , but Yoko comes in and chides Yuya for running off without having breakfast . She tosses Yuya a package , which he catches . Yuya asks why his mother is here ; she tells him to hurry up and eat what she made . Yuya opens the package , which contains pancakes , and yells it ' s time to eat . He takes a bite out of it and looks inside . Yoko reveals that the pancakes are actually a sandwich of the mille - feuille tonkatsu ( sunrise pork surprise in the dub ) that Yuya didn ' t eat . He takes another bite as his eyes tear up . Yuya exclaims it ' s delicious and Yoko says she made the sandwich using Reed ' s recipe , so it must be perfect , and to add to the pizzaz , she used pancakes as the bread . Reed is angered that Yoko added something to his already perfect recipe . Yuya says , " Perfect . . . add to it . . . " ( " Perfection . . . made even better . . . " in the dub ) before finishing off the pancake sandwich . Reenergized , Yuya rises and declares that " Stargazer Magician " and " Timegazer Magician " are Scales 1 and 8 , respectively , so he can Pendulum Summon monsters between Level s 2 and 7 . A distressed Tate urges Yuya not to Pendulum Summon , since Reed can just destroy the monsters , but Yuya ignores him and Pendulum Summons " Cheermole " and " Turn Toad " anyway . Reed welcomes his new customers for leaping through the fire . He activates the effects of " Princess Pudding " and " Knight Pasta " , declaring " Ballistic Belly Buster " , with the former force - feeding " Cheermole " and the latter doing the same to " Turn Toad " . Reed specifies that he can return " Princess Pudding " and " Knight Pasta " to his hand to destroy " Cheermole " and " Turn Toad " . The bellies of both monsters burst before they ' re destroyed . Reed asks how Yuya liked his hospitality , but the children point out the hypocrisy because Reed destroyed them ( in the dub , Reed remarks the " Performapals " did not leave hungry ; Tate says that Reed destroying monsters may be something for him to joke about , Ally calls Reed tasteless , and Frederick calls Reed rotten to the core ) . As Reed laughs , Yuya explains that as " Cheermole " and " Turn Toad " are Pendulum Monsters , they are sent to the Extra Deck instead of the Graveyard when they are destroyed . Yuya Sets " Wall of Disruption " and ends his turn . Elsewhere , Sora is in another Duel and attacks directly with " Frightfur Bear " , knocking his opponent into a feudal Japanese castle wall . Sora exclaims he won two Duels in a row before catching Zuzu spacing out again . Zuzu insists she didn ' t and lies that she saw the whole Duel ( in the dub , Zuzu confesses that she got caught in the act ) , causing Sora to groan . Reed starts his turn and addresses Yoko as the one who made modifications to his recipe . Yoko confirms it and Reed says his perfect recipe has no room for further additions . Next to Yoko , Mrs . Pepper agrees with Reed and calls him perfect . As there are five cards in " Food Cemetery " , Reed activates the effect of " Wonder Recipes " to Special Summon " King Burger " , " Queen Omelette " , " Knight Pasta " , and " Princess Pudding " . Yuya notes that Reed Summoned four monsters at once . Frederick looks at the five monsters in awe , saying he couldn ' t even finish all of them at once , to the annoyance of his other two friends . Reed shows further " hospitality " to Yuya by inflicting 300 damage to him for each monster he Summoned with " Wonder Recipes " . The total is 1200 , as energy pellets hit Yuya again , reducing him to 500 LP . Yoko yells Yuya ' s name . German Fauder comments that Yuya worked hard to get this far , but with all five " Royal Cookpals " out , this is the end . Reed activates the effect of " Knight Pasta " to double the ATK of " Prince Curry " . He does the same , using the effect of " Princess Pudding " , then follows up with " Queen Omelette " and " King Burger " to quadruple the ATK further . Tate exclaims that " Prince Curry " turned into a 4800 ATK calorie explosion . Reed enters his Battle Phase and attacks Yuya directly with the now - golden " Prince Curry " , declaring " Golden Royal Curry " . " Prince Curry " releases a vortex of curry , with the children repeating the attack name dumbfoundedly . Yuya activates his Trap Card , " Wall of Disruption " , which decreases the ATK of an opposing monster for each monster the opponent controls . Reed calls the card a pointless struggle , but Yuya further explains that " Prince Curry " will lose 4000 ATK , since Reed controls five monsters . Reed clarifies that Yuya only has 500 LP left , while " Prince Curry " has more than enough ATK to finish him off . " Prince Curry " regains its composure and continues its attack , but Yuya dons his goggles and starts running . But the attack of " Prince Curry " hits its mark , leaving the children and Yoko stunned . Reed breathes a sigh of relief ; it took him plenty of work , but Yuya turned out to be no match for his perfect recipe . His relieved expression changes to confusion as he notices Yuya standing strong after the smoke clears , with 200 LP remaining ( in the dub , dialogue of the housewives chattering about Yuya ' s survival is added ) . Ally cheers that Yuya pulled through , while Yoko is relieved as well . Reed demands why Yuya survived the attack . Yuya chuckles and reveals he used an Action Card , " Energy Biscuits " , the card he couldn ' t reach earlier . It let him gain 500 LP when he was attacked . Yuya attributes the action to the power he got from Yoko ' s sandwich . Enraged that Yuya hung on , Reed ends his turn , with the ATK of " Prince Curry " returning to normal . He points out that Yuya has no cards in his hand , despite enduring the last attack , and asks how he can deal with five " Royal Cookpals " . Yuya starts his turn . Before he draws , he thinks he ' s done all the prep - work he can ; he just needs to draw that one card he needs . He draws , and the card is " Illusion Balloons " . Yuya announces the climax of the seesawing battle , with Reed confused about what ' s happening ( in the dub , Reed is dumbfounded that Yuya took over his kitchen ) . Yuya reiterates that " Stargazer " and " Timegazer " are set in his Pendulum Zones , which lets him Pendulum Summon Level 2 to 7 monsters . Reed says that Yuya might be capable of Pendulum Summoning , but he only has one card in his hand , which makes it no different from a Normal Summon ( in the dub , Reed is confident that Pendulum Summoning would make no difference , since he can just destroy the monsters ) . Yuya directs the audience ' s attention to his Extra Deck , where the Pendulum Monsters are waiting . He Pendulum Summons " Turn Toad " , " Performapal Trampolynx " , " Performapal Partnaga " , " Cheermole " , and " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " . Frederick gets his shivers , leaving him overwhelmed , while Ally is happy that Yuya Pendulum Summoned five monsters at once . Tate remembers that destroyed Pendulum Monsters are sent to the Extra Deck ; Yuya waited for his chance to Summon all of them at once by stockpiling his Extra Deck . Yoko says Pendulum Summoning was the addition needed for Yuya ' s strategy ( in the dub , Yoko says Yuya began with the perfect recipe and made it even better ) . Reed brushes the remark aside and yells that it will end the same way as before ; Yuya ' s Pendulum Summoning is still no match for his perfect recipe . He activates the effects of his " Royal Cookpals " again , with all five force - feeding each of Yuya ' s monsters : " Trampolynx " by " Prince Curry " , " Partnaga " by Queen Omelette " , " Turn Toad " by " Knight Pasta " , " Cheermole " by " Princess Pudding " , and " Odd - Eyes " by " King Burger " . Ally realizes that the monsters will be destroyed like last time . Reed returns all five of his " Royal Cookpals " to his hand to destroy each of Yuya ' s monsters . Yuya says he was waiting for this , with Reed being confused . Yuya activates " Illusion Balloons " . He can excavate cards from his Deck equal to the number of monsters destroyed this turn . Each of the destroyed monsters turns into a pancake sandwich . Tate and Ally are surprised , but Frederick is drooling . Yuya announces the moment the audience is waiting for : inside each sandwich is a card excavated from the Deck , and the highest Level " Performapal " monster excavated will be Special Summoned . Nico calls the strategy amazing , because Yuya Summoned five monsters , knowing they ' d be destroyed , and tied their destruction to this remaining glimmer of hope . Fauder points out that if none of the cards are " Performapal " monsters , " Illusion Balloons " will fail . Reed exclaims that the card of pure chance won ' t break through his perfect recipe . Yuya replies that manipulation of chance is a powerful skill in itself . He starts excavating from his Deck . The first sandwich opens and the card is " Hippo Carnival " . Yuya shrugs in disappointment ( in the dub , Yuya remarks that a Spell Card isn ' t what he needs right now ) , which disappoints the children as well . Nevertheless , he continues with the second , which is " Performapal Hip Hippo " . Mrs . Pepper says there ' s no way Reed can lose to a card like that . Yuya excavates the third card , " Commmand Performance " . As Yoko places her hope in Yuya , he reveals the next card , " Performapal Friendonkey " . He comments that while it ' s a " Performapal " , it ' s only a donkey . Nico becomes discouraged , as " Friendonkey " isn ' t strong enough to defeat Reed . Mrs . Pepper repeats , " a pity ? " ( " awful ? " in the dub ) , causing Nico to reconsider his words . Fauder wonders what the last card is . A housewife is excited about what the last card will be , while another says she doesn ' t know much about Dueling , but it ' s fun . Reed looks around , dumbfounded . His fans are all enthralled by Yuya ' s performance ( Reed ' s thoughts are edited out in the dub ) . Yuya announces the revelation of the final pancake and wonders of the Goddess of Victory will smile down on him ( in the dub , Yuya calls the final pancake make or break time , feast or famine ) . He excavates his last card , which is " Performapal Elephammer " . Yuya cheers that the last card was a high - Level " Performapal " , the best for last . He Special Summons it as he says that " Elephammer " , the leader of the " Performapals " , comes before everyone now . Reed trembles after seeing that its ATK is 2600 , which is enough to defeat him . He bemoans that his perfect recipe will . . . ! Yuya tells Reed there ' s no such thing as a perfect recipe , which causes the young chef to recall Sansho telling him the same thing . Sansho elaborates that even if there is a perfect recipe , it has to be ready to add more to suit the people who will eat the food ( in the dub , Sansho tells Reed that a perfect recipe isn ' t set in stone ; he must constantly work to make it better ) . Yuya declares his Battle Phase and attacks directly with " Elephammer " . " Elephammer " swings the hammer on its trunk and the hammerhead glows in star - shaped patterns as Yuya tells Reed to enjoy the mammoth of a meal . Reed smiles in satisfaction , knowing his loss is coming up ( in the dub , Reed asks for a check ) . The hammer swings down and crushes Reed , depleting all his LP . Ally and Tate exclaim that Yuya won his first Duel , while Frederick gets his shivers . As " Chaos Kitchen " fades , Yuya thanks Reed for the meal . Mrs . Pepper runs to Reed , in denial that his perfect recipe was defeated . Reed calmly tells his mother that he did lose . The children and Reed come to Yuya . Reed congratulates Yuya for the win and promises to add more to his recipe and press onwards . Yuya replies that he ' ll stay ahead of Reed , then . Reed says he ' ll look forward to seeing Yuya in the Arc League Championship and offers him a handshake , which Yuya accepts . His stomach growls again and Yoko remarks that the pancake sandwich she gave him wasn ' t enough . Reed offers to cook Yuya something , to Yoko ' s surprise , and asks if Yuya will accept his hospitality ( in the dub , Reed has some ideas on how to improve Yoko ' s pancake sandwich recipe ) . A blushing Yuya replies , " of course ! " Yoko squees that Reed will make everyone food , to her son ' s embarrassment . ( In the dub , Yoko is excited that Reed intends to use her recipe , thus making her a celebrity by extension . ) Featured Duels . Yuya Sakaki vs . Reed Pepper . Turn 4 : Yuya Yuya Sets 1 card .
