## Extreme Victory

Extreme Victory is the thirty-ninth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the twelfth and final standard episode of Season 3, the 5D's arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on September 25, 2021. Brent beats down MBT to make it to finals for the third consecutive episode, while Danny outlasts Gavin to make his first finals appearance since episode 30. In the end, Brent takes it to finish season 3 with two straight wins.

## Background

Extreme Victory was released in the TCG on May 5, 2011. This set introduced the "T.G" and "Meklord" archetypes, as well as new support for the "Morphtronic", "Gladiator Beast", and "Karakuri" archetypes. It also included some powerful and synergetic cards for the Psychic Type. Other notable cards in this set include Reborn Tengu, Debunk, Safe Zone, and Tour Guide From the Underworld.

Brent is the defending champion with some strong momentum that he hopes to continue in this episode. MBT and Gavin are tied at the top with 3 episode wins, while MBT and Leah are tied at the top with 11 game wins, and the three are jockeying for an advantage heading into the live finale. Danny, having had a difficult Season 3, hopes to end the season on a high note.
