What a fun episode this was! I absolutely loved how classy Yuuya was with his comeback and outwitted Sawatari with a fabulous finish. But I have to say, my favourite part was actually how natural it felt for Yuuya to be interacting with the audience. It didn’t feel like it was there for the target audience, but everyone, which is why I was so happy watching Yuuya do his own thing while Sawatari was just dumbfounded and was at loss at the fact Yuuya was pretty much ignoring him at this point.
What I love most about the duel was that we weren’t certain who was going to win. It was a close match and Yuuya took full advantage of the fact Sawatari did not know the so-called ‘trash cards’ he had given him. Sawatari was basically judging them based on their cover as oppose to watch kind of amazing things they can pull off when they are set up as a combo. Having Block-Spider in his hand was a major game changer for Yuuya since it not only allowed him to buy a bit a time, but draw some cards and protect his last and very little life points he had left. Better yet, Yuuya was able to hold of his beloved Pendulum Cards Magician Chronomancy and Astromancy within the battle, and pendulum summon with them himself. But what I think takes the cake for this duel is Yuuya following his father’s advice of laugh off the fear and uncertainty, and muster up your courage. It was touching because you can see it in Yuuya’s Action Dueling style. Once he is in his element (focusing on entertaining the audience) he taps into his developing potential as both an Action Duelist and an Entertainer.
Despite his loss, Sawatari was about to attempt to steal Yuuya’s cards again, but this little kid named Shiunin Sora stopped them with his awesomeness. Initially Sora was going to be an LDS student, but now wants to be Yuuya’s apprentice! I think I am going to like this kid a lot because when Yuzu asked what he did to Sawatari and his grunts, he answers (as if it’s totally normal), “I just knocked them unconscious, that’s all.” I CAN’T FREAKING BREATHE. HE KNOCKED THEM OUT. But seriously though, let’s be honest here: We were all hoping that would happen to Sawatari ASAP. He was ticking me off how arrogant he was when in truth- he is a fucking idiot who is merely a stand-in while someone else gives him instructions. CHOSEN ONE MY ASS. He didn’t understand half of the cards he was using anyways! Hmmpth, I am so glad this duel is over, I hope we won’t have to see Sawatari again any time soon.

This was a Good Episode and I loved seeing Yuya doing his thing! Also I was waiting and wanting for sawatari to get his ass kick and he did not only by Yuya in the Duel but when Sawatari tried to take the Pendulum Monsters from Yuya again Sora came in and also kick his ass! Awesome!! Good Job Yuya keep Dueling your way no matter what anyone says and when you are down just think of your father!
Good Episode! I love Yuya doing his thing! Yuya did good at winning the duel his way even when things look bad and he remembers what his father says to win duels. It was cool to watch Yuya kick Sawatari’s butt in this duel and then after the duel when Sawatari and his friends were going to attack Yuya and his friends Sora comes in and Kicks their butts! Cool! Also Yuya gets apprentice out it.
