Episode 33 - Stardust Overdrive

## Stardust Overdrive

Stardust Overdrive is the thirty-third episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the sixth episode of Season 3, the 5D's arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on August 7, 2021. MBT reaches finals for the second time this season after blowing out Danny and beating down Brent. Leah makes her tenth consecutive finals appearance by beating Gavin. In a back-and-forth finals, MBT comes through to win his first episode of Season 3.

## Background

Stardust Overdrive was released in the TCG on November 12, 2009. This set introduced the "Reptilianne" archetype and the "Spider" series, as well as new support for the "Koa'ki Meiru", "Fortune Lady", "Infernity", "Earthbound Immortal", "Blackwing", "Lightsworn" archetypes. Other notable cards include Quickdraw Synchron, Level Eater, Swap Frog, Gemini Spark, Gateway of the Six, and Archlord Kristya.

Brent comes in as defending champion, hoping to build on his recent momentum. Leah has made finals every episode in Season 3, and wants to continue her streak. Gavin and Danny are looking for their second wins of the season, while MBT is the only character remaining without a Season 3 episode win.
