Shark's sister transferring and officially entering. lol~ he's afraid of her. She knows that people want to use her to go against Shark, who does not looked good by others. That's why she's skillful in every sports!

The enemy is from the flower art club. Wait, both that Hino-san's character and Shark's sister fake slept! Interesting duel of Flower vs Ice, and she showed her cold and scary side when the enemy said bad thing about Shark. Wow, Shark was watching the duel. Her weakness is cat, so cute!

ED changed a bit with showing her faces. Next ep. against iron robot monsters...

(Wait, that enemy girl was voiced by Yuuka Nanri??)

Did anyone else realized she was playing sprts in mini-skirt??...
Any way the Featured Duel: Rio Kamishiro (Kastle in the dub) vs. Aika

Turn 1: Aika
Aika Normal Summons "Firearms Flower" (800/800). She then activates the Field Spell Card, "Zen Garden". WATER monsters will be unable to declare an attack. When she controls exactly 1 Plant-Type monster, she may Special Summon another from her hand. In addition, all Xyz Monsters will gain ATK equal to their Rank times 100. She activates the effect of "Zen Garden", Special Summoning "Artillery Flower" (1000/500) from her hand. As she controls two face-up Plant-Type monsters, she Special Summons "Cosmos" (600/900) from her hand via its own effect. She overlays her three Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Raging Flower Gunboat, Nadeshiko" in Attack Position, which gains 300 ATK via "Zen Garden" ((2100 → 2400/1800). Aika activates the effect of "Nadeshiko", detaching an Overlay Unit, to inflict 300 damage to Rio for each card in Rio's hand (Rio 4000 → 2500). Aika Sets a card.

Turn 2: Rio
Rio Normal Summons "Blizzard Falcon" (1500/1500) and activates "Blizzard Jet" which targets 1 face-up WATER Winged Beast-Type monster and increases its ATK by 1500 until the End Phase (1500 → 3000). As the ATK of "Blizzard Falcon" changed, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Aika equal to the difference between its original and current ATKs (Aika 4000 → 2500). Rio Sets 3 cards. At the End Phase, the ATK of "Blizzard Falcon" returns to its original value.

Turn 3: Aika
Aika activates "Rank-Up Magic - Barian's Force", Ranking Up "Nadeshiko" and performing a Chaos Xyz Evolution to Special Summon "Chaos Xyz: Furious Flower Battleship, Taoyame" in Attack Position, who gains 400 ATK via "Zen Garden" (2400 → 2800/2000). She then activates the effect of "Taoyame", detaching an Overlay Unit to inflict 400 damage to Rio for every card on the field. There are seven cards, but Rio activates her face-down "Diamond Dust", destroying all face-up WATER monsters and inflicting 500 damage to Aika for each one destroyed. "Blizzard Falcon" is destroyed. With five cards on the field, Rio takes 2000 damage (Rio 2500 → 500), while the effect of "Diamond Dust" inflicts 500 damage to Aika (Aika 2500 → 2000)."Taoyame" attacks directly, but Rio activates her face-down Continuous Trap Card, "Ice Chain", which allows her to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower WATER monster from her hand. Rio Special Summons "Aurora Wing" (???/1600) in Defense Position. The replay occurs and "Taoyome" attacks and destroys "Aurora Wing". As it was destroyed by battle, Rio activates its effect, Special Summoning it from the Graveyard (???/1600), but only once. Aika Sets a card.

Turn 4: Rio
Rio activates her face-down "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning "Blizzard Falcon" (1500/1500) from her Graveyard. Aika activates her face-down "Rose Tombstone", which will inflict 300 damage to Rio whenever she activates a Spell or Trap Card (Rio 500 → 200). Rio overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Sylphine, the Cold Bird Beast" (2000/???) in Attack Position, who gains 400 ATK via "Zen Garden" (2000 → 2400/???). Rio activates the effect of "Sylphine" detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the effects of all other face-up cards until the End Phase. Then, one monster Aika controls will lose 300 ATK for each negated card. With three negated cards, the ATK of "Taoyame" decreases by 900 (2800 → 1900), while the ATK boosts from "Zen Garden" end ("Taoyome 1900 →1500, "Slypine" 2400 → 2000). Aika activates her face-down "Flower Judgment", detaching the Overlay Units of a Plant-Type Xyz Monster she controls to increase its ATK by 800 per detached Unit. She detaches two Units from "Taoyome" (1500 → 3100). Rio activates "Absolute Zero", decreasing the ATK of "Taoyome" to 0 (3100 → 0) as it has no Overlay Units. "Slyphine" attacks and destroys "Taoyome" (Aika 2000 → 0).

I am glad they changed the OP and ED, the fact that they went all this trouble to hide Rio's eyes, when they were going to show her anyway in episode 5 was silly.

I am liking Rio and what she can contribute to the gang, we already know she and Cathy are going to have their problems. LOL

I tell you I am disappointed IV is not on the show anymore, Call me nuts but ever since we found out the truth about what happened in their duel, I have always been a IV / Rio pairing supporter. I want IV to comeback and make ammends with Rio, maybe those two can have a tag duel together.

ending is screaming for a Cathy vs Rio Duel
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I don't ship em, but I am curious to see how Rio would act towards him. There's Ryoga too. He obviously felt 'indifferent' towards IV after learning the truth, but he was still wrapped up in revenge at the time. He may forgive IV now who knows.

I'm quite sure IV (and his family) will appear again, we just gotta wait.

Well IV and Rio they remind Cobra and Kianna from Fairy Tail. The tortured soul bad guy and the sweatheart innocent girl. Though Kianna is not innocent when she is the snake, but reguardless that is my comparison.

First she is elegant. Then she let out Shark's secret then proceed to intimidate him.
In middle part we see that she want to be stronger for her brother and in her duel we see her icy part.

But the best was the last part where she went from tsun to deredere. Daaaawwww~
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it.

Rio is cool, A likable side character is always welcome because when I think about it Yuma's group is full of worthless characters like Kat, Class Rep, Tokunosuke and Tetsuo, All pointless characters that have absolutely no worth to the overall story or anything for that matter.
