cypsiman2Recap of the Duel Zombies being mildly annoying, recap of our heroes stupidly accepting their challenges instead of just ignoring them, and Judai in the most egregious display of bullshit ever in his duel against Ayukawa. Nonsensical explosions round of the idiocy, and the recap's over.
TITLE SCREEN! DISRUPTION IN THE ACADEMY! GROWLING DUEL really? growling duel?
We get a shot of a monster flying around outside Duel Academia, and the Duel Zombies are very slow and mildly annoying as Kenzan and a bunch of nameless extras try to force some sliding doors shut. Because apparently they can't get power to it, which would explain all the lights...and then Kenzan sees Zombie Shou, and wants to rush out, but the two Obelisk Blue extras stop him. Come on Kenzan, show them the might of your DINO DNA! Surely that will fix everything! But no, he just steps back and finishes closing the door, blocking the mildly annoying Duel Zombies. Elsewhere in a hallway Misawa is leading the construction of a barricade, one that presumes that the zombies won't just crawl over that pile of junk. And Asuka is just standing around, looking down at Manjoume as he shambles along. Because, you know, possessing a vagina means she can't do anything constructive or useful at all. And over in the Gym, they are nailing boards together, and...where the hell did they get those boards, hammers, and nails. No, this is a serious question, is it standard for a Japanese High School Gym to leave stuff like that lying around, just in case? Over with O'Brien and Amon, O'Brien is tinkering with his Duel Disc, blah blah blah, and for some reason O'Brien is giving orders to campus security. Yes, I'm sure that O'Brien's years of playing soldier with his daddy puts him above their adult experiences. Whatever. And now Amon goes on an internal monologue over how bad the situation is getting, and how the Demon must be enjoying feeding on their despair. Over with Rei, she wakes up, and sees Judai and Johan standing over her. Quick, make out so Rei can write a Yaoi Doujin, it would totally help her recover even faster! Suddenly, she looks a bit off, Chronos and Napoleon are making their rounds checking in on everyone, Chronos naming off everyone they've lost to the Zombies, and back over to Rei.
She apologizes for what happened to Martin and Ayukawa, Judai and Johan assure her that it's not her fault, it's this weird world, and suddenly she starts laughing and there is movement under her sheets. Rei! Now is not the time nor the place! Oh, apparently at some point Winged Kuriboh and Ruby Carbuncle sneaked in under Rei's sheets. And now they're doing that stupid random fighting thing that doesn't mean anything. And now over to Demon Martin, going on about how his empire of brainless zombies is getting ever closer to Judai, and he only needs a little more to go. And now it is time for a midnight snack, apparently. Also, three random students with distinct character designs. Gee, I wonder if they'll have any roll to play in these inane shenanigans? In any event, food is in the form of Soup Jelly, and unlike everyone else Johan is polite enough to use a goddamn spoon instead of just jamming the whole damn thing down his throat in one go. Also, I can't help but think that mixing soup with gelatin is a terrible idea. Oh hey, its those three random guys, one who's hairstyle I'm now noticing is a pretty lazy rip-off of Professor Satou's hairstyle. They want more food, not understanding the concept of rationing. Huge crowd rushes in to take what's left, Judai, Johan, and Kenzan yell at them, and then O'Brien arms his duel disc and tells them that if they don't follow the rules, he will sew their mouths shut. Kenzan whines about how the mildly annoying zombies are blocking the path to the food storehouse and cries, and somehow the three random annoying twits from before are now in the hallway. Hmm, there's that barricade, and what do you know, it barely slows them down. EPIC FAIL! Blah blah blah, they run into Zombie Ojamas, they freak, more zombies show up, including Manjoume and Shou. The trio run away, run into more zombies, more running, and if these twits had half a brain, they'd notice that they were being herdered into a trap.
Yep, they're in the library. Truly Demon Martin's convoluted, circuitous, utterly chance-dependent plan is a work of genius! Speaking of Demon Martin, he's eating steak. Where the hell did he get steak from? How did he get into the kitchen to cook it without anyone noticing? And no, magic Demon powers are not a valid explanation. That's just "A Wizard Did It" in fancy dressing. Our trio of starved idiots run up to Demon Martin, one tries to take his food, but oh noes, Demon Arm. Yeah yeah, they'll do anything for food, anything you want, darkness of the heart, and Demon Martin lets them eat to their fill. Our trio of starved idiots give in to the obvious trap, and Demon Martin laughs as his diabolic plan comes ever closer to fruition.
EYECATCH!
Full moon, Judai is asleep, and our Idiot Trio has finished the steak given to them by a demonic individual. So yeah, they've never read any fairy tails, nor have they seen Spirited Away. Also, they are still hungry. Pigs. Blah blah blah, Demon Martin switches to Demon Child's voice as he plays Fusion on them and mindwipes them into going along with his inane and empty promises. Now the Idiot Trio is in some sort of hellish flesh dimension, and they are eaten. Irony...I guess? And thus, Demon Martin has fusion summoned the Three Masked Knights. Whatever, it would have been much better if he'd just mind-whammied them into serving him the way Malik did with the Ghouls, but hey, that would make sense. Yes Demon Martin, laugh at how pathetic and ridiculous your evil plan is. And now it is daytime again, and Judai is yelling for the idiot trio. Also, apparently they got out by pulling out the frame of a window in the bathroom. Without anyone noticing at all. And now Demon Martin is on the PA system, formally announcing his rule over them all. Blah blah blah, Martin recognizes Judai's voice, implying that there is a microphone in the gym, because as I recall, most PA systems were one way and did not allow for conversations. At least Kenzan notes that this is odd, thought that still doesn't explain how it is even possible. Anyway, Rei wants "Marchii" to come back as she is worried about him, and Martin doesn't care for that name, for he is the ruler of the Martin Empire of Duel Zombies. Yeah, that's some empire you got there kid. In any event, Demon Martin says he knows that everyone must be starving, and if they want access to the food, they need to give over the Power Station. And the reason Demon Martin can't just take it is...? Besides, even Judai can see the holes in this plan, what with the power plant being buried under sand and thus being useless. Blah blah blah, Judai says they should work together to get back home, and Demon Martin has no interest in such, so Judai says they should settle this in a duel. Of course, even Demon Martin saw that coming, and accepts, saying that their opponents are waiting for them outside.
Also, we get a flashback to something that didn't happen. Horay, revisionism! Also, if the power station is useless, which is to say isn't working, where are they getting all the power for the lights? PLOT HOLE! And now we're outside, and we see three figures standing in the sand, and they are the Masked Knights, who look less like horrific monsters and more like stuffed into costumes that were rejected from Carranger for looking too silly. Demon Martin calls them a fusion of humans and spirits, and I again point out that putting them in cheap costumes doesn't count as fusion. Blah blah blah, Johan, Jim, and O'Brien will duel the masked knights, because clearly the original characters can't be allowed to do a damn fucking thing. No, no dueling for Rei or Asuka, who haven't gotten to duel at all this season, must give over screentime to shiny new models. And no, this isn't going to be a 3 vs. 3 duel, this is just three regular duels all taking place at the exact same time. Anywaym, Johan duels the Masked Knight of Impassivity, Jim the Masked Knight of Anger, and O'Brien the Masked Knight of Laughter. Basically, take those two masked weirdos from Battle City, and suck whatever charm they had right out. Johan lets his opponent go first, and he ends his turn without playing anything. Johan's all WTF, and summons Amber Mammoth, blathers on with his imaginary friend, and attacks directly for 1700 points of damage. Blah blah blah, Knight of Passivity is a fusion of human and spirit and is different from the zombies, does anyone even care about this drivel? Over to Laughing Knight, who is of course laughing, he sets a card and summons Fool Clown, whose effect forces him to discard his hand. Blah blah blah, O'Brien does not respond, and explosions rock O'Brien's side of the field. Three of the cards that were discarded were Laugh Bomber; when Fool Clown is on your side of the field, remove this card from play and deal 500 points of damage to your opponent. So now O'Brien is at 2500 life points, blah blah blah, Knight of Laughter is almost as annoying as Judai or Kenzan, and now over to Jim's duel. Knight of Anger goes first, of course, he sets a card, and summons Anchor Knight of Anger. It has 1500 attack points, and three times a turn, he can discard a card from his hand to deal 600 points of damage to the opponent. Jim dodges around, but still takes 1800 points of damage, blah blah blah, everyone's depending on the shiny new models to get them their food, end episode.
NEXT TIME! The three simultaneous duels continue, and apparently Johan is having trouble against an opponent who's entire strategy is to just sit there and do nothing. EPISODE TITLE, JOHAN, JIM, AND O'BRIEN VS. THE THREE MASKED KNIGHTS card of the week is anchor knight of anger, never released.
That episode was just pitiful and boring. Not to mention, full of plot holes.
