Yu-Gi-Oh Duel League

Episode 8 Burn or Soar (Blaze v. Crow)

Kaiba: Welcome back and next up will be a contrast of styles between the out-of-nowhere, wildcard style of Blaze against the Synchro-heavy style of Crow.

Jack: Well, Crow hasn't had much wins but let's see if this will be his lucky break.

Joey: Knowing Blaze, he can pull a surprise victory in the most unexpected of ways. Sacrificing his own monsters, exciting the crowd and even us.

Kaiba: Well, this makes for an interesting duel, which begins now.

Announcer: Duel League continues with the next ranked duel.

Announcer: First, Blaze! (Rank 9; Record: 1 - 1)

Kaiba: A middling but promising duelist. 

Joey: Well we have been talking about all his praises. Maybe another win?

Jack: I don't know. He is a wildfire so it may be hard to call it a win this early

Announcer: And his opponent, Crow! (Rank 19; Record: 0-2)

Kaiba: We've all been promised so much out of this one but unable to see if it will be realized

Jack: Well, in time and when the stars align

Joey: Don't tell me you guys are giving up on this one?
