Two things happened in this episode:
-A Maximum got summoned as an individual monster rather than a full set.
-A boss monster got quote unquote Kaijued in a Rush Duel.

It wasn't "Kaijued" it was "Soul Exchanged".

Darn it, you're right.

Generation trend difference, man. Much like throwing some weights in battle is "pulling a Rock Lee" for newer gens and "pulling a DBZ/Goku" for older gens.
Man, I miss good ol Soul Exchange strategy to summon a Monarch.

Nope it's a different mechanic. One is an "inherent summon" of a Monster, the other is a spell effect.
In terms of generation difference, Kaiju was once Lava Golem (and still is) and Soul Exchange would now be Monarch or even newer Rikka.

you forgot Kaizo saved the day

Well, Manabu's Maximum wasnt beaten directly too.

IMO best episode of Go Rush so far. It's always nice to see creative ways of Dueling, such as utilizing the cost instead of actual effect, bypassing destruction immunity by tributing, and using just one piece of the Maximum. And also love a character who uses his card(s) as conventional tool/weapon like Kaiba did.

the most insulted thing in a duel is when your opponent use your monster as a substitute to summon his monster XD "i like doing that" :3

The new Magnum maximum monsters art looks pretty sweet and okay effects.
But most impressive is that the full use of them is not only the effects but not just relying on the full maximum summon form when you can use one individual for the job as a separate card.

But the next episode is gonna be bittersweet when which I'm predicting full well Yuamu is gonna loose and Yudias is gonna take the new antagonist down is the this arc mid finisher or both Yuamu and Zwijo both goes down then Yudias showdown.

new Maximum is cool but the megazord haves better effects

Still the same model template, right?

true these magnum over road are trash compare to the megazord version

Now THIS was a good duel. I liked Yudias tributing Tremolo's monster such a nice strategy that you don't often see in Yugioh. And I always like Villains that care for each other so not only Tremolo going to such lenghts for Phaser but also seeing Phaser himself also having nice conversations with him and having breakfast together was nice to see. My only problem though not very important is

I think there is a bit too much ''secret'' that have to be unfold so both Manabu couldn't revealing anything previous episode and now this episode as well is a bit meh. I mean There is Phaser's secret then there should be the secret that Maximum cards are carded people and then If not related to Phaser's secret why does the relic obey Phaser (It didn't even card Tremolo this episode was it because he didn't lose to a ''Maximum'' as it was not in the maximum mode or was it because it won't card MIK this is never adresed either) also has to be explained so I think at least one of these mainly the Maximum cards are people one should have be explained rather than putting it all to last episodes.

So I think it would have be better If Manabu were to reveal the Maximum cards are people last episode which would have also at least made him serve a purpose in that episode instead of just getting his character ruined. On the other hand I liked Tremolo accomplishing his objective and saving Phaser's secret. Overall very decent episode

Zwijo also beat Manabu's Maximum indirectly.

Yeah he did. I prefer Tributing over magic cylinder type damage because Yudias did GET rid of the monster unlike Zwijo but yeah Zwijo did it indirectly too instead of beating it in battle.

And that is cool because it leaves room for either Yuamu or Yudias to be the first to destroy a Maximum in battle

Well, this episode is a bit better, compared to previous ones, but man...
Imagine Yudias caring that Zwijo would Laugh at him, instead of caring of carded Yuhi.

And yet the little bro who runs MIK didn't get carded at all >_>

MIK privilege I guess.

Yup

Well, he didn't lose to a Monster in Maximum Mode, so...

But they didn't say ''Maximum mode''. The word was ''Maximum monster'' and the piece is still a Maximum monster as they are targetable by such effects which is why Tremolo was able to get the LEFT piece by effects that says maximum monster. Tremolo by all means lost to a ''Maximum monster''

I think this should have be something that had to be adressed and should be adressed. Did he not get carded because it was supposed to be in Maximum mode ? Or can Brothers not be carded because Phaser controls the relic or it requires Phaser's order on top of losing to a Maximum to do the thing ?

Kaizooo :'o

I don't know what to say, no Maximum has truly been beaten in battle in Go Rush yet. Those things are even more hyped than The Number cards in Zexal.

Really good duel though. I guess Yuamu isn't going to be the one to beat the security lady as I kind've predicted.

most numbers effect are broken specially the beyond 100 numbers even those maximum is nothing compare to some of them

Kaiba would have been proud of how Yudias got rid of Tremolo's Maximum Monster.

weird. rule must lose it to card.....

Ooh the original Sevens OST played at long last

damn that was a soul exchange move (but ability too conduct battle phase)

we dont have super poly, but yuudias did something similar :v

Yudias casually sends Heavy Storm to the grave at 12:56

Even with the soundtrack and all, the new Maximum wasn't the least bit cool, topdecking a Maximum is super boring and cheap. Well at least he made a decent play at the end.

RIP Kaizo again but we all know he is secretly a mechanical phoenix thanks to Yuga

Tremolo may have lost but won on what he needed to do and a bonus if i might add that he learned about Yuudias's maximum. Yuudias on the other hand learned how to use them effectively by using its effects wisely and also, we saw a maximum piece being special summoned alone for the 1st time.

So what exactly is Phaser's secret ? First I obviously thought he was created by the Creator because the pain he recieved looked a bit like Zwijo trying to resist the creator but PHASER HIMSELF seems unaware of his own secret so dunno If that is the case. Like does Tremolo know their origin but Phaser doesn't ? Could be the case but I think it def looks a bit different than what happened to Zwijo now especially because Tremolo considers it as ''Phaser's secret'' alone and why would his clothes gone ? Still possible but I give it a bit less chance than I did before now with how dramatized it is.

Second option is Phaser is an alien or like a werewolf and he transformed that night which is why his clothes were gone as he ripped them off by transforming to a bigger form. I think there is a merit to this as Phaser could not be aware of his transformations and If he is transforming because an alien bit him and thus turned him or something it would make sense why Tremolo would keep it a secret from him because it would probably be VERY heartbreaking for Phaser to learn he is also kinda alien now after all of his hating aliens and human superiority speech.

Anyone else have a better idea what the secret is ?

Phaser reminds me of Bohman, just that he doesnt lose as much as Bohman.

i think phaser's earthdamar is sort unstable inside of him, his stomach pain looks the same on what happened to yuuhi when earthdamar is unstable during zwijo duel in the past

Earthdamar huh. Interesting theory I never thought of going there as I dunno If they are gonna dive into the ''all humans supposed to have Earthdamar'' plot but why not. I like it. Why was his clothes gone though and why does he not remember what happened ?

You know I honestly had a fun idea for this game kinda similar to Maximum Summons but it was called Trinity Summon or Trinity Evolution where three monsters combine their powers and shares one card and had a special ability called the Trinity Effect where it used all the ability’s of the monsters used for the Summoning I was planning to use it for my intro to the new monsters I created The Seven Star Dragons.
