Your hand-!

Why did you stop me!? Why!?

Bomber, I can't stand for what he's done either.

However, if you settle things by force, then you're no better than him.

Yusei...!

Everyone in attendance...

Please, rest assured.

I have a responsibility as Director of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau to protect you all.

No matter what happens, I will protect you all.

Even if it means my life.

He smooth talked his way into calming the situation.

The man's a crafty one.

By authority of Security, we're taking you in.

Yusei, you must carry out your mission.

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!

Disclosed Past: The Duel Profiler VS The Black Rose Witch

You're coming off standby.

I'm finally on duty, huh?

All the info on Aki Izayoi for the past sixteen years has been compiled into these forty cards.

No less from the Profiler.

I'll expose what you all desire.

And, when I do, I want five times the pay.

Are you surprised?

I lost this arm in an accident, you see.

Aki, are you afraid?

I'm going to hurt people again...

Don't be afraid. You are the future of psychic duelists.

I told you that you would part with this mask once you realize your pride and mission.

Proudly show them your beautiful face and let them know of your existence.

Alright, it's the long-awaited second match of the semi-finals!

The Duel Enterpriser, Kodo Kinomiya!

He goes up against the person who's impact from the first round is still fresh in-mind,

the Black Rose Witch, Aki Izayoi!

--There's the Witch! --What's gonna happen this time?

The game will be played Standing!

Wonder if that guy's scared.

Of course he is! He's facing the Witch!

They say that it's big trouble if you make her mad.

I sure'd like to be friends with the Witch. Her power's somethin' great.

How's your D-Wheel holding up?

Yeah, it's okay.

The Witch, huh? What do you think?

This duel will tell.

Now, our center-of-attraction match is now underway!

Duel!!

My turn. Draw!

I summon Violet Witch.

And then, I'll activate the Field Magic, Black Garden, from my hand.

And so it begins.

All you do is seclude yourself in this world of yours.

I place one card face-down...

...and I end my turn.

Izayoi has come out with her Black Garden already! On the opposition, how will Kinomiya respond!?

My turn. Draw!

I know why you use Black Garden. You wish to be able to make friends with others.

But, here is the attitude your friends and family took.

I place a card face-down and end my turn.

Kinomiya is unbelievable! He only placed a card face-down!

This face-down card symbolizes all the individuals you've met up to now.

No one would ever want to be friends with a witch.

Those eyes! Everyone is afraid of those unwavering eyes that gaze hard at others!

These ways of dueling do exist.

That man known as Kinomiya is a duelist called the Profiler.

Indeed. He extensively studies his opponent's profile before his matches to compose his deck.

My turn. Draw.

Battle.

Violet Witch, attack the player directly.

As expected, Izayoi's direct attack has literally dealt damage on Kinomiya!

And once again you hurt others through dueling...

Psychic duelist, Aki Izayoi!

Psychic duelist?

Three years ago, on May 15th, you hurt your classmate with that Violet Witch during dueling practice.

That was the first instance in which you used your powers at the Duel Academia.

From then on, you were feared by everyone and drifted further and further away from them.

Just like this card with its back turned!

Hows does this guy know that?

Your powers are sinful ones that shouldn't be.

Your abominable powers need to be punished.

I activate the Trap card, Crime and Punishment!

This card activates when I receive damage from a direct attack.

It destroys one of my opponent's monsters.

Violet Witch's Monster Effect. When this card is sent from the field to the Cemetery,

it adds a Plant-type monster with a defense power of 1500 or less from my deck into my hand.

And the card I've selected is Phoenixician Cluster Amaryllis.

You've chosen yet another card rich in significance to you in the past sixteen years.

Crime and Punishment's effect!

At the end of the Battle Phase, I can Special Summon a level four or lower monster from my hand!

I summon Hate Agent in defense mode!

Black Garden's effect.

It halves the attack power of a monster that's summoned.

That's a shame, then. Hate Agent has both 0 attack and defense power!

So, your Magic Effect serves no use!

Hate Agent's Special Summon will Special Summon one Rose Token on my side of the field.

The Token Special Summoned through this effect can neither be destroyed by battle nor attack.

Then, I'll follow in suit. Hate Agent's Monster Effect activates!

Once per Battle Phase on my opponent's turn,

the player can regain Life Points equal to the Battle Damage they received by way of one battle.

His Life Points went back to what he had before!

Oh? He's shrewd alright!

Hm? What's up? You not feeling right again?

I feel kinda itchy...

I summon Phoenixician Seed from my hand!

Black Garden's effect activates!

Black Garden will halve the summoned monster's attack power

and Special Summon a Rose Token on my opponent's side of the field.

I activate the Permanent Trap, Rose Flame!

When a Plant-type monster is summoned on my opponent's field, it inflicts 500 points of damage to the opposing player.

Are we re-enacting that incident from when you were five now?

The same day that you first won a duel.

The thrill of winning for your first time...

had awakened the powers which lied dormant within your subconscious!

My powers do more than cause damage to what's around me.

They do damage to people's hearts as well. And yet, these powers are ever-increasing.

I...

I end my turn.

You're just a monster who brings destruction to the world!

Monsters belong back in their monsterish dens! This world is for humans!

It's my turn. Draw.

I activate the Magic card, Mind Monster, from my hand!

Mind Monster's effect lets me declare an opponent's monster! And I'll declare Black Rose Dragon!

If the opposing player has the declared monster, they receive damage equal to half that monster's attack power.

Black Rose Dragon's attack power is 2400, so you'll be dealt half of that, 1200 attack power, in damage!

--He finally planted an attack on the Witch! --Serves her right!

That's too bad. If I had powers, you would have really been hurt.

Just look forward to the next turn.

I switch the Rose Token on my field to defense mode and end my turn!

My turn. Draw!

Even if the wounds on one's body heal, the wounds on their minds never fade away.

I change pain into power. Knowing pain turns it into power.

The person who taught me that was...

I am Divine from the Arcadia Movement. While it's in no comparison to yours, I have powers similar to your own.

What's wrong!? Come on! Doesn't the Arcadia Movement have their hopes on that power of yours?

So, he's finally brought up the name of the Arcadia Movement, I see.

The utopia for psychic duelists...

They are fragile monsters that have been organizing actions and rallies in secret.

I have come here for those who believe in me.

I have a power that people need!

Phoenixician Seed's Monster Effect!

By sending this card face-up on my side of the field to the Cemetery,

it Special Summons a Phoenixician Cluster Amaryllis from my hand!

Black Garden's effect will halve the attack power of the summoned monster...

and Special Summon a Rose Token on the opponent's field!

From the Rose Token being summoned, the effect of the Permanent Trap, Rose Flame, activates!

Battle.

Phoenixician Cluster Amaryllis, attack Rose Token!

When Phoenixician Cluster Amaryllis conducts battle, it will be destroyed.

Then, its effect activates!

When this card is destroyed and sent to the Cemetery, it deals 800 points of damage to the opposing player!

So, this was the point of that suicide attack?

With Hate Agent's effect, Kinomiya has recovered Life Points equal to the Battle Damage!

My body is getting torn apart...

The Witch honestly plans on whittling away my life...

If my Life Points go down to 0, "payment" will be the least of my worries.

This is not worth my life!

I place a card face-down and end my turn.

Phoenixician Cluster Amaryllis, during the End Phase on my turn,

can be Special Summoned from my Cemetery in defense mode.

This has Special Summoned a Rose Token on Kinomiya's field!

The Permanent Trap, Rose Flame, activates.

The Permanent Trap's attack is assaulting Kinomiya!

D-Damned monster...

It's my turn! Draw!

I release all three Rose Tokens to Special Summon Mad Profiler from my hand!

Mad Profile can be Special Summoned from my hand by releasing three monsters on my field.

Black Garden's effect will halve the monster's attack power and a Rose Token will be Special Summoned on Izayoi's field!

This isn't a job anymore! I don't need money either! I'll just win this and get out of here ASAP!

Mad Profiler's Monster Effect!

By sending a card to the Cemetery, it removes a card on the field with the same type as the card that I sent!

He sent a Magic card to the Cemetery!

Now its attack power won't be halved anymore.

I'm not done using Mad Profiler's effect just yet!

By sending a Monster card to the Cemetery, it removes Phoenixician Cluster Amaryllis from the game!

Now it can't activate the Monster Effect it gets from being destroyed. Battle!

Mad Profiler, attack the Rose Token!

Way to go! Attack that monster some more!

So, how's that for you!? Stop tarnishing dueling, you monster! Get back to your den!

An excellent turn of events.

With Kinomiya's sense of crisis, he will awaken Izayoi's powers as a Signer.

I activate an Equipment Magic from my hand, Destruction Insurance!

That Equipment Magic is pretty fishy. When the equipped monster is destroyed,

it deals half of its attack power to the opposing player.

And with half of Mad Profiler's attack power 2600...

if she takes on 1300 points of damage, her Life Points'll drop to 0.

I activate another Equipment Magic, Light Law Protection!

He's approaching this really carefully.

When an opponent's monsters effect changes the attack power

of the equipped monster, that Equipment Magic destroys that card.

This is all obviously in response to that monster's effect.

Black Rose Dragon...

My turn. Draw.

I summon Nightrose Knight.

I'm tuning my level three Tuner Monster, Nightrose Knight, to my level two Rose Tokens.

Chilling flames engulf the entire world.

Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom!

Synchro Summon!

Appear now, Black Rose Dragon!

T-There it is!

The Witch's trump! Bring it on! I'll turn the tables on you!

You're a monster that's been abandoned by her own parents!

You will not get away with trampling all over the feelings of others!

Engrave this pain upon your form!!

Information is what you use to protect yourself.

With this many Equipment Magics and Hate Agent's effect, I just can't lose!

I'll send her psychic powers back to her with my cards!

Black Rose Dragon's Monster Effect.

By removing one Plant-type monster in my Cemetery from the game, it reduces the attack power of a monster to 0.

Rose Restriction!!

That's what I waiting for!

Light Law Protection's effect activates!

When the equipped monster's attack power is modified by an opponent's effect, it destroys that card!

A Signer...

Here it is! Here it is! I feel it in my bones!

He's fulfilled his duty, yes?

I activate the Trap card, Curse of Rose.

If the attack power of a monster on the opposing field is modified,

it inflicts damage to the opposing player equal to the difference in its original attack and the modified amount.

Sick him.

We have an outcome! Hurry and get the emergency squad down there!

She will be advancing on to the finals! Aki Izayoi!

That's good, Aki. You did well.

But, the finals are what will truly test your powers.

Your duel will be against Yusei Fudo. Keep your guard up.

What do you make of her card?

There's rejection and anger, but...

...there's still something else lying dormant.

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.

Izayoi, why is the birthmark a "wretched mark" to you?

I hate people who hold this mark...detest them...

Next time, on Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, "Final Match: Heart Hidden Under the Mask"!
