Ep. 25: Shobu and Bucketman face off in a high-stakes duel orchestrated by Zakira.

25

Zakira coerces Bucketman into a duel against Shobu, while Yu Fua remains unable to intervene due to her friends being held captive by Miss Kirumi. Bucketman’s compliance stems from past trauma involving Zakira’s defeat of a professor and subsequent mind control. This confrontation is revealed to be the true final match of the Battle Arena Tournament, following a previous staged surrender. The duel determines the rightful owner of the Soul Phoenix, Avatar of Unity, which Shobu currently holds. Under new tournament rules, both competitors are permitted to modify their decks before the battle begins. As the match commences, the outcome will decide who retains the powerful card, marking a decisive and fair conclusion to the tournament arc.
