" in the Japanese version , is the thirty - first episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . It first aired in Japan on November 9 , 2014 and in Australia on December 13 , 2015 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on November 29 , 2016 . Summary . Nico Smiley announces the second match of the second day , You Show Duel School ' s Yuya Sakaki against Leo Institute of Dueling ' s Sylvio Sawatari . As Yuya walks out into the arena , his friends cheer him on , Yoko musing that this is Yuya ' s first step in getting closer to his father , and urging him to put his all into it . The other members of the crowd are more critical , noting that Yuya is the rumored Pendulum user and that they ' ve heard that Pendulum Summoning and Yuya ' s victory against The Sledgehammer were false . But their comments are cut short when Sylvio walks into the arena , playing a tune by blowing on a leaf and dressed in a straw hat , rode and sandals . Tate wonders what kind of cosplay it is , and Skip identifies it as " Mabuta no Haha " by Hasegawa . Sylvio dramatically declares that the cards are calling to him , telling him to draw , and that a new star has risen into the heavens . He declares himself Dueling ' s greatest star , completely befuddling Yuya and the crow . Tilting his hat , Sylvio asks if Yuya knows who he is . Yuya snaps out of his daze and comments that it ' s Sylvio , right ? Wrong , Sylvio tells him . He ' s " Neo New Sylvio . " He tosses off his costume , standing in his school uniform and his teeth gleam . ( In the dub , Sylvio simply calls is a samurai costume , because he fights as honorably as a samurai , and it was on sale at the costume shop . ) Kakimoto , Yamabe , and Ootomo cheer for him in the crowd ( calling him a " smart shopper " in the dub ) . Yuya tries to point out to Sylvio that " Neo " and " New " mean the same thing , but Sylvio congratulates himself on nailing his introduction . Sylvio tells Yuya that he has a few grudges against him . First : he stole Sylvio ' s Pendulum Cards , and then defeated him with them , a disgraceful act . Yuya protests that Sylvio had stolen them in the first place , and Sylvio continues that Yuya had an Xyz - using doppelganger injure him , to which Yuya replies that it wasn ' t him , and Sylvio wasn ' t injured . Sylvio nearly loses his composure , and states that third , Yuya attacked and injured his father ; there is no greater disgrace . Yuya points out that that wasn ' t him either , and Sylvio gets an embarrassed look on his face , then claims that he ' ll repay those disgraces a hundred times over . He tells Yuya to mark his words ; Yuya will lose this Duel and experience the greatest defeat ever . Nico comments that Sylvio is already declaring his victory . Dipper comments that Sylvio ' s introductions are always so long - winded . Sylvio them claims that Pendulum Summoning my have led Yuya to victory up until now , but today it will be the path to his defeat . Yuya is surprised by the comment , and Sylvio gives him a savage grin . Yuya remembers in shock when Sylvio had told him that there had been rumors of Leo Corporation independently developing their own Pendulum Cards , and Sylvio ' s vows to get them and defeat Yuya . He wonders if Sylvio has Pendulum Cards . Nico wonders how this match will turn out and then declares that they ' ll select the Field , and the card spins around in the globe above them until it reveals " Sunset Stronghold " . Nico activates the card , and a barren wasteland materializes around the Duelists , with a wooden temple behind Sylvio that is surrounded by a trench . Sylvio yells , " Let ' s go ! Duelists locked in battle ! " Yuya calls , " Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters ! " Both of them yell , " They storm through this field ! " Nico finishes , " Behold ! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling ! ACTION ! " Yuya and Sylvio declare , " DUEL ! " and Nico snaps his fingers to scatter the Action Card s . Sylvio lets Yuya go first , and Yuya declares his turn , Normal Summon ing " Performapal Drummerilla " by reducing its Level by 1 since neither of them control any monsters . " Drummerilla " appears , reduced to Level 4 , and Yuya Set s a card to end his turn . Sylvio tells himself that his legendary revenge Duel has begun , and he declares his turn , drawing and immediately activating " Yosen Training Grounds " . An altar with several candles on it appears behind him , and he explains that when he Normal or Special Summon s a " Yosenju " monster , he can light up one " Yosen Counter . " ( In the dub , Sylvio never refers to them as " Counters " , only referring to them as " Candles " . ) Yuya is surprised at the use of Counter s , and Sylvio continues his turn by Summoning " Yosenju Kama 1 " . The Beast - Warrior emerges from a red whirlwind , but immediately sets off another , as Sylvio explains that when " Kama 1 " is Normal Summoned , he can immediately Normal Summon another " Yosenju " monster from his hand , and he Normal Summons " Yosenju Kama 2 " . " Kama 2 " appears from a blue whirlwind , and then , just like " Kama 1 " , it too sets off another whirlwind . Sylvio explains that " Kama 2 " also allows him to immediately Normal Summon another " Yosenju " monster , and this time he Summons " Yosenju Kama 3 " , who appears from a green whirlwind . Nico asks what this is , as Sylvio has managed to Summon three monsters in an instant . Sylvio laughs , claiming that being able to Summon multiple monsters at once isn ' t unique to Pendulum Summoning . Since he ' s Summoned three " Yosenju " monsters , Sylvio lights up three " Yosen Counters . " Three of the candles on the " Training Grounds " altar light up . Ally calls it creepy , and Tate admits that Sylvio ' s Deck might be pretty strong . Yamabe calls Sylvio amazing , and Ootomo claims that Sylvio is really the best . Sylvio activates the effect of " Kama 1 " . Just once , when he controls another " Yosenju " monster , he can return one card Yuya controls to his hand . Yuya gasps in shock as " Kama 1 " lassos " Drummerilla " with its chain whip and it dissolves . Skip gasps that Yuya ' s field is wide open now , and Sylvio declares his Battle Phase , attacking with " Kama 1 " . Zuzu cries Yuya ' s name as the " Yosenju " charges towards Yuya while swinging its chain - whip , but he takes off running and activates a Continuous Trap Card , " Performapal Pinch Helper . " It negates a direct attack when it ' s activated , and then allows him to Special Summon a " Performapal " from his Deck with 800 or less ATK and its effects negated . As " Kama 1 " stops short , Yuya Special Summons " Performapal Kaleidoscorp " in Defense Position , who ' s 2300 DEF is higher than any of Sylvio ' s monsters , so now he can ' t attack anymore . Sylvio responds by activating the effect of " Kama 2 " , who can attack directly by cutting its damage in half . Zuzu realizes that the attack will just pass through the defending monster like it was nothing . Yuya quickly begins to flee towards the castle drawbridge , but Sylvio warns him that he won ' t let him get an Action Card and he unleashes his attack . Yuya is knocked off the bridge and into the empty moat , his LP falling to 3100 . Sylvio looks down at him and he activates the effect of " Kama 3 " ; when another " Yosenju " monster he controls inflict battle damage , he can add a " Yosenju " monster from his Deck to his hand . He adds " Yosenju Oyam " and shows the card to Yuya . Next , Sylvio activates the effect of " Yosen Training Grounds , " removing three " Yosen Counters " to add a " Yosenju " monster from his Deck to his hand , and this time he adds " Mayosenju Daibak , " though he doesn ' t show the card to Yuya . Commenting that it would be boring if he ended things so quickly , he Sets a card to end his turn . The effects of the " Kama " brothers then return them all to his hand during the End Phase , and the brothers disappear into a whirlwind . Yuya wonders , given Sylvio ' s use of a card effect to return his monsters to his hand and leave his field wide open , if he ' s planning something . Sylvio suggests to Yuya that they continue the show , Nico remarks that Sylvio is taunting his opponent without a care in the world . Yuya thinks that even if it may be a trap , he ' ll do everything he can with his Dueling . He draws " Timegazer Magician " and exclaims that it ' s here , then he Sets the Pendulum Scale using the Scale 1 " Stargazer Magician " and the Scale 8 " Timegazer Magician " . As the two monsters appear in their Pendulum Zone s , Yuya explains that he can simultaneously Summon monsters from Level 2 to 7 . The kids cheer for the imminent Pendulum Summon , while Shay watches from the sidelines . Yuya chants " Swing , pendulum of the soul ! Draw an arc of light across the aether ! Pendulum Summon ! Come , my monsters ! " He Pendulum Summons , both from his hand , " Performapal Drummerilla " , and " with its radiant dual - colored - eyes , " " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon . " Nico announces to the crowd that this is the Pendulum Summoning that Yuya used to defeat the Sledgehammer , and the crowd respond positively . Yuya comments that now it ' s his turn , and Tate exclaims that if Yuya can attack directly with both " Odd - Eyes " and " Drummerilla " , then he wins . Sora comments that it looks like a trap no matter how one looks at it , though . Yuya attacks directly with " Odd - Eyes , " and Sylvio activates the effect of " Yosenju Oyam " from his hand . By discarding a " Yosenju " monster from his hand , he can Special Summon " Oyam . " He discards " Yosenju Kodam " , and " Oyam " towers over the field . Since another " Yosenju " monster was Summoned , Sylvio ' s " Training Grounds " gains another " Yosen Counter " . Yuya is surprised to see that it has undetermined ATK , and Sylvio explains that the ATK of " Oyam " is the same as the original ATK of the monster that it is battling . " Oyam " rises to 2500 ATK , and Sylvio asks Yuya if he ' ll crash his monster into Sylvio ' s . Yuya responds by activating the effect of " Drummerilla " , which can increase the ATK of a monster by 600 during the Battle Phase . " Drummerilla " pounds on its chest - drums and sends out a shockwave that boosts " Odd - Eyes " to 3100 ATK . Yuya has " Odd - Eyes " resume its attack , and " Odd - Eyes " attacks with " Strike Burst of Spirals " , blasting a hole in " Oyam . " He reminds Sylvio of " Odd - Eyes ' " effect to double battle damage with a Level 5 or higher monster , and the second plume of flame destroys " Oyam " and sends Sylvio flying , reducing him to 2800 LP . Nico comments that that one must have hurt as Sylvio lands . But Sylvio activates the last effect of " Oyam , " allowing him to add another from his Deck to his hand . Nico informs the audience of the twist as Sylvio holds the card high . Knowing that Sylvio will just Summon another " Oyam " if he attacks , Yuya instead decides to end his turn before running down the moat . Sylvio watches him go , stating that from here on , it ' s the real deal , " Sylvio ' s Legendary Revenge Duel . " He tells Yuya that just like he told Yuya , Pendulum Summoning will lead to his defeat . Zuzu is surprised at the comment , and Julia comments that Sylvio just loves to narrate everything . Telling Yuya to behold , Sylvio begins his turn and draws " Yosen Whirlwind " with a grin . He Summons " Yosenju Kama 1 " from his hand , and then , just as he did before , brings out " Kama 2 " and " Kama 3 " . Since he ' s Summoned three " Yosenju " monsters , he lights up three more " Yosen Counters " on " Training Grounds " . As Nico fills the crowd in , Ally gasps that this is the same as his last turn , and Frederick panics , since at this rate , " Kama 1 " will bounce " Odd - Eyes " back to Yuya ' s hand . But instead of using the effect of " Kama 1 " , Sylvio enters his Battle Phase and uses the effect of " Kama 2 " to attack directly . Yuya is surprised at the direct attack , as is Zuzu , and Sora frowns , knowing that there must be a reason for that . Yuya leaps up , grabbing a stake in the wall and swinging towards an Action Card , but he ' s blown away before he can reach it and the card itself is blown out of the wall . Yuya lands with a crash on the ground , and Sylvio activates the effect of " Kama 3 " , whose dagger shines as Sylvio adds a " Yosenju " card from his Deck to his hand - the Pendulum Monster , " Yosenju Shichu L " . The crowd bursts into murmurs as Nico explains that Sylvio has a Pendulum Card . Yuya muses that Sylvio really does have Pendulum Cards , and Sylvio activates the effect of " Training Grounds " , removing three " Yosen Counters " to add a " Yosenju " monster from his Deck to his hand . This time , he adds the Pendulum Monster , " Yosenju Shichu R " . Yuya mutters that Sylvio has two Pendulum Cards now , and Sylvio Sets the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 3 " Shichu L " and the Scale 5 " Shichu R . " Both monsters rise in their Pendulum Zones successfully , and Yuya gasps that Sylvio did it , but with a Scale of 3 and 5 , he can only Summon Level 4 monsters . Sylvio laughs , commenting that that ' s not the case . He activates the Pendulum effect of " Shichu R " ; if he has a " Yosenju " card in his other Pendulum Zone , he can increase " Shichu R ' s " Scale to 11 until the end of the turn . With this , he ' s able to Summon multiple monsters from Levels 4 to 10 , and he declares a Pendulum Summon . The portal opens , releasing a giant green tornado , and Sylvio chants " Oh wind - clad chief of phantoms ! Gouge those lands with your raging cloak ! Come forth , Mayosenju Daibak ! " " Daibak " , a giant weasel of green wind , roars as it stands with 3000 ATK . Nico asks what this is , Sylvio has just successfully Pendulum Summoned . In the Leo Corporation control room , the technicians declare that the Pendulum Summon has been confirmed ; the Summoning energy is normal , as is the image , power balance , and mass . Claude tells Declan that it ' s a success . Yamabe claims the " Neo New Sylvio " is amazing , and Kakimoto claims that " Yosenju " are the best . Sylvio reminds them that " Training Grounds " gains one more " Yosen Counter " . The crowd are surprised at Sylvio ' s capability to Pendulum Summon , given their limited information on the Summon . Skip muses to Yoko that they knew that this would happen someday , but he didn ' t think that it would be this soon . Tate gasps that the Summoned monster is also Level 10 . Sylvio is energized by the crowd , telling them to cheer more , yelling " The fun has just begun ! " ( and prompting an annoyed Ally to protest that that ' s Yuya ' s line ) . Drunk in his excitement , Sylvio claims that he truly is chosen by the cards , and he doesn ' t just have Pendulum Summoning in his arsenal , he is going to go beyond it . He activates the effect of " Daibak " ; when it ' s Special Summoned , he can return two cards on the field to the hand , and he chooses " Stargazer Magician " and " Timegazer Magician " . " Daibak " blasts a tornado at the two " Magician s " and returns them to card form . Then Sylvio activates the Continuous Trap Card " Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village " since he controls " Daibak " , which will return any non - " Yosenju " monster that is sent back to the hand to the Deck . Nico is shocked that Yuya ' s Pendulum Cards will be sent to his Deck , and explains that Yuya ' s Pendulum Summoning has been sealed . On top of that , Sylvio pays 800 LP to activate the Continuous Spell Card , " Yosen Whirlwind " , and then he ends his turn . But his turn doesn ' t simply end , of course , since the three " Kama " brothers return to his hand during the End Phase . Smiling , Sylvio explains that Yuya will now bear witness to the Sylvio legendary combo , " Yosen Lost Tornado . " He explains the effect of " Yosen Whirlwind " ; when a " Yosenju " card returns from his field to his hand , he can return one of his opponent ' s cards to their hand . And with the effect of " Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village " , the cards will be returned to the Deck instead . Twin tornadoes emerge from the cards and blast " Drummerilla " , " Kaleidoscorp " , and " Pinch Helper " back into the Deck . Zuzu gasps that more and more cards are being wiped off Yuya ' s field , and Gong exclaims that only " Odd - Eyes " remains . Laughing , Sylvio claims that he ' ll be having " Odd - Eyes " leave the stage too , and the effect of " Daibak " returns itself to the hand since it was Special Summoned . He declares " Yosen Lost Tornado " , again as " Odd - Eyes " vanishes , commenting in English , " Bye - bye , Odd - Eyes ! " Yuya realizes why Sylvio didn ' t use the effect of " Kama 1 " earlier , so that he could send " Odd - Eyes " to the Deck instead of back to the hand . Sylvio asks Yuya what the thinks ; the tornado literally catches the opponent ' s cards in a dizzying whirlwind and returns them to the Deck . He declares that it is the Sylvio Legend Combo , " Yosen Lost Tornado " . Dipper muses that Sylvio has sealed Yuya ' s Pendulum Summoning , and Kit comments that that ' s pretty good coming from Sylvio . Julia snorts that Sylvio ' s naming sense was awful though . Finally , the Pendulum Scale of " Shichu R " returns to normal . Claude realizes that this is the Pendulum sealing technique that Declan taught Sylvio . Declan explains that Pendulum Monsters can revive themselves on the next turn whether they are destroyed or returned to their hand , which is their greatest strength , but not if they are returned to the Deck . Nico explains that Yuya ' s field has been laid bare , and with one card in his hand , he ' s truly in a do - or - die situation . Yuya quietly declares his turn , and Skip , Gong , and the kids all shout encouragement at him . Zuzu tells them to wait , since Yuya is smiling , much to everyone ' s shock . Yuya thinks that he ' s been completely cornered , but he feels so excited . Sylvio tells Yuya that it ' s time that they settle this once and for all , and Yuya laughs , commenting that the Duel has only just begun . He declares his turn , draws , and then Sets both the cards in his hand face - down , ending his turn , to Zuzu ' s surprise . Sylvio comments in mock disappointment that he went out of the way to hype things up only for Yuya to do something so boring , though he guesses that it couldn ' t be helped with an empty hand and no Pendulum Summons . But Yuya is already jumping up to the top of the wall , explaining that if he doesn ' t have any cards , then he just has to look for more . He begins to sprint off , and Zuzu cries his name , but Gong reassures her that it ' ll be fine , since Yuya ' s eyes are still full of strength , and Zuzu smiles . Yuya declares that the fun has only just begun . Featured Duel : Yuya Sakaki vs . Sylvio Sawatari .
