Episode 42 - Order of Chaos

## Order of Chaos

Order of Chaos is the forty-second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the third episode of Season 4, the ZEXAL arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on November 6, 2021. Siberian returns after a week off, mostly to taunt the players as opposed to giving rulings. Gavin returns to his bullshit roots to make it through to finals, while Brent decisively defeats Leah to join his brother. Brent annihilates Gavin quickly to win his first episode of the season.

## Background

Order of Chaos was released in the TCG on January 19, 2012. It introduced the "Ninja" and "Inzektor" archetypes, as well as support for the "Evol", "Wind-Up", "Gagaga", and "Photon" archetypes. Other notable cards include M-X-Saber Invoker, Blade Armor Ninja, Photon Thrasher, and The Huge Revolution is Over

MBT comes in as the defending champion looking to take the lead with a second consecutive victory. Leah hopes to return to the top after missing out in finals last time. Brent and Danny hope to get back on the right track, while Gavin finds himself alone in last place for the first time in the history of the series.
