Episode 66 - Extreme Force

## Extreme Force

Extreme Force is the sixty-sixth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the third episode of Season 6, the VRAINS arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on July 2, 2022. This episode featured a new song for the intro, as a bit. Danny emerged from the hell of F.A. mirrors for an arguably Pyrrhic victory at 2-0, while Leah received the double ban by going 0-2.

## Background

Extreme Force was released in the TCG on February 1, 2018. This set introduced the "Mekk-Knight", "Tindangle", and "Mythical Beast" archetypes, as well as new support for the "Rokket", "Altergeist", "World Legacy", "Vendread", and "F.A" archetypes. Other notable cards include Inspector Boarder, Overtex Qoatlus, Saryuja Skull Dread, There Can Be Only One, Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion, Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights, and Heavymetalfoes Electrumite.

After the unprecedented 5-way tie last week, Gavin remains in the lead, with MBT still in last place, but everyone remains close. Danny, Leah, and Brent are still close, and each still has an opportunity to make a big move and establish themselves as a leader of the pack with a strong week.
