Ep. 15: Shobu and Kabutomaru face off in a dramatic finals duel at the Battle Arena Tournament.

15

During the tournament finals, Shobu battles Kabutomaru Kuwagata, a duelist from a poor farming village. Shobu initially destroys all of Kabutomaru's shields, leaving him with no cards in hand. However, Kabutomaru utilizes his "Giant Insect Shield Revival" deck to restore his defenses, fueled by support from his family who gifted him the deck to pursue his dream. In a single turn, Kabutomaru eliminates Shobu's shields, but Shobu retains the destroyed cards. Shobu summons Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny, to destroy the revived Natural Snare shield. Although Kabutomaru believes he has won, Shobu activates Bombazar's effect to take an extra turn. He summons a second Bombazar, secures the victory, and promises to duel Kabutomaru again, leaving the young duelist tearfully grateful.
