Tombo: Go pepper pounder! Carrot crunch! Eggstreme eggplant! Cu-clobber!

One after another, duelists were getting beaten left and right by a strange duelist who for some reason was assaulting them with vegetables, afterwards their heart pieces were taken. Nistro and Dextra arrive on the scene.

Nistro: Looks like somebody had a run-in with a produce stand.Better call it in.

Dextra: We found another downed duelist. Send a unit here right away to help him out.

Nistro: Whoever did this is playing by their own rules. Check this out.

Nistro noticed a red stain on the downed duelists shirt. Dextra drawers her finger on it and tasted it.

Dextra: Just as I thought. That stain is tomato juice. Hearing this causes Nistro to fall over.

Nistro: What kind of crazy duel was this, kid?

Elsewhere...

Kai: Err.

Anna: [Humming]

Kai: Why are you following me again?

Anna: Well, I had nothing better to do today, so I figured why not. Besides you didn't tell me about this Duel Carnival so the least you can do is show me what's going on.

Kai: Then go look by yourself!

Anna: Nuh-uh! I asked Aunt Chisa if I could go with you and she said you have to do whatever I said 'cause I'm the guest.

Kai: For now. Oh, I get it. You're tagging along with me because you're hoping to see your sweetie, Yuma.

Anna: Ah!😳 I have no idea what you're talking about! She looked away with a blush.

Cologne: She's so easy to read. Just like Yuma.

Kai: Yeah, right. The only chance Yuma'd be able to handle a wild animal is if he was a Lion tamer. That's be the only way to handle a wild animal like you, cuz.

Anna: I'll show you "Wild animal" you smug, second-rate, card shark!

(A/N: A term to describe a person who cheats at cards in order to win money.)

Kai: What?!💢

Cologne: There they go again. This has gotta be the third time they've fought today.

Just then, Cologne spotted a familiar face.

Yuma: I plan to do a lot of dueling today, so I've gotta fill up on some duel fuel! Yuma wolves down the food.

Tori: Yuma, please try to eat like a human being.

Yuma: Sorry, but I'm hungry as an elephant!

Suddenly, a crow comes swooping down and snatched the rice ball out of Yuma's hand much to his and Tori's surprise.

Yuma: No way! Stop! Yo, come back you snacknapper! That's mine!

Yuma whined as he fell to the ground as the crow flew away with his duel fuel.

Yuma: I can't duel on an empty stomach.

Kai: Hey, Yuma.

Yuma: Kai! And...Anna?

Anna: Hiyah, Yuma!

Tori: Mm.😠

Tombo: You look like you need some energizin', my friend! A big man shows up before Yuma. Here, chow down on some cucumbers! They are dee-licious!

He offers the veggies which Yuma gladly accepts and eats them.

Yuma: I love these.I wonder if they come in any other flavors? Even his friends eat some.
