Ep. 51: Zakira reveals Shobu's father's fate and Shobu summons Bolmeteus Steel Dragon.

51

Yu recalls the Judgement Ball, which Zakira explains is energy from Awakening Cards that falls on duel losers. Zakira halts Shobu’s attacks using Hell's Scrapper and claims Shobu’s father’s fate is sealed. Shobu reacts with shock and anger until Zakira confirms his father’s death. Dr. Root explains that three years ago, Zakira and Shori Kirifuda fought for the Great Spirit of Duel Masters. Shori dispersed the spirit into seven Awakening Cards, causing Zakira to unleash a massive attack that incinerated half the island. Shori vanished, and Zakira blames Shobu. Overcome with grief, Shobu collapses but remembers his father’s teachings. He summons Bolmeteus Steel Dragon, waking Hakuoh. Zakira defeats the dragon with Rothus, but Yu gives Shobu a new card. Shobu reveals Dual Shock Dragon with Strike Back ability, restoring hope despite Zakira’s threats.
