Oh, come on...You can't stay mopey forever just because you lost.

She's right. You tried your hardest!

Yeah, but...

All you need to do is win your duels later on.

The experience you got from losing will always prove useful.

Just make sure that you don't lose, Yusei! We'll all be cheering you on from the stands!

What's the deal with her?

No matter how far we are apart, I'll still go on.

I'm going to engrave it even deeper.

So, don't be afraid of getting hurt and...

Go forth, race through even harder

and take all of your beliefs into your embrace!

The truth always comes in ones

so sense the voice inside your heart!

Hoist your sentiments firm

and seize the signs for tomorrow!

The Return of the Witch: The Dragon of Destruction, Black Rose Dragon

What? That young maiden is a Signer, you say?

Investigating that will be your job.

We would appreciate it if you would act as our hound to corner that young miss and reveal her identity.

I, Gill de Lancebow, known to others as the Iron-Blooded Knight, disdain completely from hounding down young maidens.

And if I told you that same miss' secret persona is known as the Black Rose Witch?

What? The Witch?

You are familiar, yes? About the masked woman who possesses dreadful power

wreaking havoc in Duel Fields in the Daimon Area?

The power to make damage in duels real?

This duel shall literally be a fight for one's life.

If you plan on withdrawing, now is your chance.

Plan on what?! It is the duty of us knights to hunt down evil-doers!

I implore you...

to leave the slaying of that witch to me!

Now, here comes our hero!

He's the Virtuous Iron-Blooded Knight! The Battled-Hardened Hero!

Just what kind of dueling will you show us all today!? Gill de Lancebow!

I swear upon my sword! As a blood descendant of the knights of old, I shall win this duel without fail!

Gill de Lancebow has already declared his victory!

He's pretty popular, huh?

The guy's not easy on the stomach, acting like he's all righteous, but I hear his skills are something else.

And, here comes the competitor for this duel!

She's a mysterious and beautiful girl whose background and merits are unknown!

Will we all witness the coming of a new wave of talent!? Aki Izayoi!

I have the feeling I've seen her somewhere before.

Yeah, we saw her earlier.

No, it's not that. It was somewhere else before...

What's wrong?

Her deck seems like its in pain...

This maiden is the Black Rose Witch, is she?

I shall not spare you mercy, be you maiden or not! You will take view to the dueling of a knight!

Duel!!

It is my turn! Draw!

I summon Masked Knight Level Three!

Next, I activate its Monster Effect! Persona Blast!!

That causes 400 points of damage! And now, I activate a Magic card! Level Up!

It sends Masked Knight Level Three to the Cemetery to Special Summon Masked Knight Level Five!

Next up is Masked Knight Level Five's Monster Effect!

Persona Twin Blast!!

That causes 1000 points of damage!

I place one card face-down to end my turn!

These persistent attacks have caused Izayoi take 1400 points of damage before even getting to her turn!

Look at Gill go. He's been making a vicious onslaught from the start of this bout, hasn't he?

Given this, it is but a matter of time before the Witch's identity is revealed.

It seems as though the ferociousness of my evolved Knight has pierced you to the bone.

Keeping silent, are we? You are one eerie maiden.

Draw. I summon Ivy Wall in defense mode.

A defender monster, huh?

She plans to stick to the defensive right off the bat.

Next, the Magic card, Pseudo Seed, from my hand.

This allows a level two or lower Plant-type monster in one's hand to be summoned.

I Special Summon the level one Tuner Monster, Copy Plant, in defense mode.

Copy Plant's Monster Effect--Copy Plant will share a similar level to a monster on my opponent's side of the field.

It has copied Masked Knight Level Five's level.

But, what does she reckon to do by just raisin' its level?

--Isn't that obvious? --Isn't that obvious?

Synchro Summoning, are you!?

I'm tuning my level five Copy Plant to my level two Ivy Wall!

Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower...

Set into bloom!

Synchro Summon!

Appear now, Black Rose Dragon!

What is this!?

V-Vile witch! So, you have revealed your identity already, have you!?

Witch?

I recognize that thing! That's the monster that masked witch uses!

She's shown herself already, it seems.

Wretched mark!

Black Rose Dragon...

It's a dragon of ill omen that brings forth destruction. It seems that you're familiar with it.

--It's the Witch! --The Black Rose Witch has shown herself!

--It's the Witch! --The Witch is here!

Witch, no matter what trump card you may play, my heart of steel will stand firm!

I will use my Reactive Armor face-down on the field to hoist you by your own petard.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I activate its Monster Effect. When I Special Suummon Black Rose Dragon, it destroys all cards on the field.

What!?

Black Rose Gale!!

What's going on here!? Gale-force winds have engulfed the tournament grounds!

Is this her witchly power?

I place one card face-down, and after that, the Field Magic, Black Garden.

I-Is this...a beast-dwelling garden!?

I end my turn.

Watch out for the Witch's trap!

I appreciate your good will, but it needn't be necessary!

My turn! Draw!

I activate the Magic card, Warrior's Return, from my hand!

This will allow me to add a Warrior-type monster from my Cemetery into my hand!

Masked Knight Level Three! Return to me! A proud knight never dies!

Masked Knight!

While Black Garden is face-up, all monsters attack power will be halved.

And, a Rose Token will automatically be Special Summoned on the opponent's side of the field in attack mode.

This is the Black Garden. A demon realm garden which flowers by using life as nourishment.

Oh, my! Now Masked Knight's attack power is outclassed by the Rose Token!

But, even though she decreased its attack power, that does not change its Monster Effect.

Your tricks were to no avail!

Persona Blast!!

What say you now?

I activate the Trap card, Dopple-Gainer.

Whenever I receive damage from a Monster Effect, it inflicts the same damage to my opponent as well.

Oh, my! Gill, who hasn't taken a hit so far, just took a drop in his Life Points!

A scratch!

You're right! He was hurt!

Dueling wounded him?

Scary~!

You damn witch!

--How dare she do that! --Get out of here!

Tell me, witch, who can inflict actual harm upon others with her powers...

Exactly who are you!?

I'm not the same as any of you.

Witch, what are you scheming with that look in your eyes!?

I place two cards face-down and end my turn.

Draw. I activate the Equipment Magic, Rose Mark.

This allows me to gain control of one of my opponent's monsters.

Bring his Masked Knight Level three into my possession.

Well, I'll be. His monster went 'n backstabbed him!

Feel the pain from the blade of betrayal.

Masked Knight Level Three attacks directly.

Making my monster's loyality waver is indeed the insidious fighting style of a witch!

I equip the Equipment Magic, Hostile Vassal, to Masked Knight Level Three.

When the equipped monster has switched control,

this card inflicts damage to the player equal to its original attack power.

What did you say?

End Phase. Masked Knight goes back under your control.

Have a firsthand taste of that double-dealer's strike!

What!?

Izayoi is ruthless! Her combo utilizing Rose Mark and Hostile Vassal has inflicted massive damage on our knight!

I have yet to begun to fight! I activate the Trap card, Level Change!

This card is activated at the End Phase of my opponent's turn.

It sends a Level Monster on my side of the field to Special Summon the monster...

written on the card, ignoring its Summoning Requirements, from the Cemetery!

Be revived! Masked Knight Level Five!

This looks promising! His Special Summoning has dismantled her permanent combo!

Black Garden activates.

And now, a Rose Token will be Special Summoned.

I end my turn.

Witch, there is no use concealing yourself in your grim garden!

The blade of righteousness will pursue you, no matter where you go!

Draw!

And it's now that my Masked Knight Level Five evolves to Level Seven!

That's right! Masked Knight Level Five, using its Monster Effect, will level up to Level Seven during the Standby Phase!

Come forth, Masked Knight Level Seven!

Black Garden activates.

A Rose Token is Special Summoned.

Now it's clear. Rose Tokens can't be destroyed by way of battle.

So, her strategy is to hide herself in her grove and doing nothing but guard, huh?

But, her opponent's attacks are sharp. Will she be able to completely dodge them?

By your eyes, you are considering counterattacking...

with Dopple-Gainer's effect once my monster's effect activated, correct?

However, I came prepared!

I equip the Equipment Magic, Glory Shield, to Masked Knight Level Seven!

A nice move.

Neither Magic nor Trap cards can be activated in response

to an attack from the monster equipped with Glory Shield.

Plus, if it inflicts Battle Damage, it can destroy one Magic or Trap on the field.

Battle! Masked Knight Level Seven shall attack your Rose Token!

Persona Big Slash!!

It's a hit! Masked Knight's attack finally explodes onto Izayoi!

Rose Tokens are null to being destroyed in battle, but Damage Calculations are still applied!

Glory Shield's effect will destroy Dopple-Gainer!

Now you have run out of options!

Take this!

Persona Big Blast!!

Way to go!

She only has 50 Life Points left! Izayoi is hanging in by the skin of her teeth!

Plus, she only three Rose Tokens on her field left! She can't fight back now!

It looks like this is over.

The match isn't over yet.

So, you're completely in her corner, it seems.

Witch, this is the last turn for you! There is nowhere for you to flee!

Yes, on this turn...

...it all ends.

What!?

Draw!

Do not falter! This is her witchly scheme.

I have an overwhelming lead.

The Witch could possibly be after releasing her Rose Tokens for an Advance Summoning,

and then use that summoned monster to strike the Rose Token

that appears on my field due to Black Garden's effect.

Wouldn't that be the gist of it?

However, the moment you do so will be your doom.

For my face-down card is Flag of the Martyr.

If I activate this card, my Masked Knight Level Seven's attack power will double!

Come! I will hoist you by your own pitard!

The Field Magic, Black Garden's effect.

What's happening!?

By destroying this card along with all Plant-type monsters on the field...

I'll Special Summon a monster with an attack power equal to their combined attack powers from my Cemetery.

What was that!?

She couldn't...!

By destroying three Rose Tokens, their total attack power would be 2400!

Which means, the monster she'll summon out will, of course, be...!

Not that nightmare again!

I summon Black Rose Dragon!

T-T-There it is! Black Rose Dragon!

But the price is pretty hefty!

Masked Knight Level Seven, free from Black Garden's spell, has had its attack power restored back to 2900!

Black Rose Dragon's attack power is 2400. The odds are stacked against it.

Why did you cast your Black Garden aside?

It is almost as if you are personally ruining your chances of winning!

Vile witch, are you cornered so bad you've gone daft!?

He's telling the truth. I figure this match is over.

Yeah, with her winning.

What?

Black Rose Dragon's Monster Effect--

By removing all Plant-type monsters in my Cemetery, it will reduce your monster's attack power to 0.

Rose Restriction!!

I-It's attack power is 0!?

Then, even if I do activate Flag of the Martyr and double its attack power, it will remain at 0!

Battle.

You, knight, who hoists such fabricated righteousness...

Take the cold flames of sorrow upon your form.

S-Stop! Please stop!!

Black Rose Flare!!

This is just as good as a direct attack!

We were allowed to witness the power of a psychic duelist.

Now then, what about our main issue?

R-Right, sir! Unfortunately, there was no response, sir...

Is that so?

Wretched mark, huh?

What's wrong? Not feeling well?

Run! This is no duel!

--Damned witch! --Nab that witch!

Well done, Izayoi...

But, you shouldn't let victory go to your head.

Your battle has just begun, after all.

Get out of here!

Get out of here, you witch!

Hurry up and beat it!

Get lost, you witch!

Scram!

Get out of this city!

What are you grasping for? What good will it do you?

We're moving forward and we'll make sure to discover what.

Never-ending sentiments, the passionate beats of our hearts--

and the voice of truth are all what we heard.

We got busted up and we learned...

of where we can get stronger.

I pile up the dreams in my hand and one day I'll lead them all to you.

Shouting the signal for the start, we'll do what our hearts want

and vault over our cramped and mediocre lives!

We'll make a dash and attain every bit of our brilliant futures!

Embracing the bonds we so believe in, we'll go toward tomorrow to race on.

The third match of the Fortune Cup has me pitted against a duelist by the moniker of "Reaper Reborn," Shira.

People who duel against him are too afraid to ever duel again.

He's a cruel D-Wheeler that's professionally known.

Scary~! Huh? Isn't somethin' a bit off?

Next time, on Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, "Flame Revenger: Speed King - Skull Flame"!

Riding Duel! Acceleration!
