Duel Masters

Shobu's mojo has not returned yet and while Hakuoh wants to face him, Shobu is still unable to duel. Boy George decides to challenge Hakuoh instead and Hakuoh accepts his challenge. Boy George said that Shobu is tired and Hakuoh asks Shobu if he wants to postpone the duel to a later time.

As Shobu tries to regain his mojo by dueling Hakuoh, everyone else looks on with a worried look. After a brief conversation with his Mojo. He got up to finish the duel. Though he lost the Duel in the end, Shobu regained his confidence and is now ready to tackle the Creature World!"

Shobu, his mojo returned, begins practicing for the Duel Masters Battle Arena, the biggest Duel Masters event of the year. Dr. Root provides special battle armor so that Shobu and Boy George can Kaijudo duel without fear of injury but something goes wrong and Shobu looses control of the creatures he's summoned. Shobu later reads that a similar event happened to his father and that his father went out on a quest to gain better control and become a true Kaijudo Master, and so Shobu prepares for his own quest.

Shobu and Rekuta are still traveling to this magic mountain where Shobu can learn to control his Kaijudo creatures, hopefully in time for the upcoming plot-moving setting known as the Big Tournament. Along the way, they meet a young girl named Charolette who is being harassed by a bunch of thugs. After saving her, Shobu meets up with an old rival, Jamira! Strangely, he's playing Darkness Cards instead of his usual Deck, and the reason is revealed very quickly, he accidentally swiped Kokujo's Deck! Shobu proceeds in cleaning Jamira's clock, and Kokujo explains that something freaky is happening in the mountain where Shobu and Rekuta are traveling.

Shobu and Rekuta travel to Light City Adjacent, where everyone attempts to block their progress. Can Shobu get past all 1,000 residents knowing that if he loses even once, he'll be stuck there forever?

Shobu challenges Photon, the guardian of the Light Civilization Land. Can he win, or will the guardian outdo him?

Shobu and Rekuta finally gain access to the Light Civilization Land, as well as an injured Monster, but he soon is forced to Duel against the evil, the mighty, the terrible Irving the Terrible! He's so terrible it's in his name! As the two Duelists compete for the most thinly-veiled references one can name in 20 minutes, a mysterious evil is brewing the background. Of course, Shobu can't be worried about that, he's got a smackdown to deliver! As he smacks down Bolmidius Steel Dragon into the Battle Zone, Irving's fear overrides his terrible-ness and costs him the match. As a bonus, Shobu's Duel Disc-thingy glowed, and Shobu got what he came for! Now it's off to Water Civilization Land to make the DDT glow once again!

Shobu argues with his friend Rekuta on the train for the fried shrimp and sea food. They both go separate ways of finding the water civilization,. They both end up in a quiz duel master tournament in which his friend wins and gets a dinner of shrimps.

Rekuta, having won the quiz contest, was proclaimed the true Hero of Dueling, while Shobu was thrown in jail for the rest of his life. To test Rekuta's mad Dueling skills, Aqua challenges him...and easily kicks his butt. Things get even worse when Prince Melvin, the Conqueror takes over Aqua Sniper and has it go on a rampage! Not even shrimp cocktail can save Rekuta this time, only Shobu can! But just throwing in some Water Civilization cards won't help, he has to learn how to truly use Water cards, before Melvin literally sucks the life out of him!"

Shobu's gotta learn how to use a Water Civilization Deck from Hulcus and combine it with his Fire Deck. If he does it successfully, he just might be able to defeat Prince Melvin, but even when that's over, look out for the Legendary Bynor! Can Aqua Master help out, or is Shobu sunk? Maybe the Asgard can offer some assistance?

On the way to Nature Civilization Land, Shobu realizes that his father's Deck Case is very unusual--especially since it drove away angry monsters. Anyway, the gang meets a young girl named Flora, who's willing to take Shobu to the mystical Treedom, which is a long-lost giant robot covered in moss. After all, who needs freaky magical powers to make cards come alive when you have a giant robot that can blow things up at a rate of 300 epms (explosions-per-minute)? But the Princess Pollyana wants the Treedom for PLOOPs, and not even Shobu's gonna stand in her way!

After Shobu was defeated by Prince Wilbur in the previous episode, Mimi and Boy George have arrived to help him.

Mimi and Boy George saved our heroes from Princess Pollyana, but Shobu still doesn't realize what he's doing wrong. Since he can't win as he is now, Shobu is left behind as everyone else enters Nature Civilization Land. However, the P.L.O.O.P.s are too powerful and force everyone to retreat. Flora's father blocks the way so that the gang can escape, leaving only one old man to face off against the P.L.O.O.P. forces. Thanks to Mimi, Boy George, and Flora, Shobu eventually realizes that the fast attacks that were once his advantage are now his weakness. Meanwhile, Boy George realizes just how skilled Flora is and encourages her to Duel someone other than her father, while the townspeople grow ever more fearful. With his confidence restored and a new Deck made up, Shobu's ready to show the Pollyana just how powerful he can be!

It's time to rescue Flora's father from the evil grasp of Princess Pollyana, and Shobu's the only one who can do it. But Pollyana has some powerful allies in the form of a pig-man, a radioactive killer in a Hawaiian T-shirt, a beauty-consicous terrorist with a talking computer, and some random rich dude Pollyana picked up off the street. Shobu and the gang will have to let their powers combine in order to defeat this new dream team and save Nature Civilization Land!

Shobu and Rekuta journey to the gate of the darkness civilization land and learn that every person there has a clone, including the gate way, but they also discover The PLOOP's are there and waiting for them. Can Shobu learn who to trust before he is defeated?

Shobu learns that not one, but both Dark Guardian gate twins are trying to become members of the ploops, and they've been told if they beat Shobu, they'll gain their wish. Luckily for him Kokujoh shows up and gives Shobu a crash course on Dark Civilization dueling, but will Shobu be able to win?

Shobu and Kokujo take on the guardians of darkness in a double duel. If the brothers win, then they will become the newest recruits of the P.L.O.O.P's, but if Shobu wins he gains back his fathers disk and heads back into the Land of Darkness. Who will win the showdown as the battle for the land of darkness begins reaching it's final conclusion?

Shobu, king of Fire Civilization Decks, has finally entered the home world of his brethren. Unfortunately, there's more evil bad guys (as opposed to the evil good guys or the not-evil bad guys) who are causing trouble! Will Bolshack Dragon, Armored Blaster Valdios, and Bolmeteus Steel Dragon be enough? Who will this Land's one-timer character be? Who will provide his/her voice? Will we ever see Melvin again after Duke thrashes him for riding his beloved Gatling Skyterror?

Shobu and company try to free the Fire Civilization land from the P.L.O.O.P.s, but fire civilization creatures have begun appearing all over Earth prompting all the gates to be sealed. Can they succeed, or is the earth doomed to fail?

Shobu couldn't summon Kaijudo creatures anymore, leaving him to think that his mojo disappeared again! While Knight faces off against an endless supply of P.L.O.O.P. cronies, Hakuoh took it upon himself to make Shobu realize that hate equals evil. Despite not having this problem against the other P.L.O.O.P.s (I know he's a Fire Civilization specialist, but it still seemed to come out of nowhere), Shobu realizes he just has Duel the way he usually does. Out of his funk, our hero races to the volcano's top, where Knight lays on the ground, finally defeated.

Shobu challenges the P.L.O.O.P's leader, but strangely not to a game of Duel Masters! Instead Shobu challenges him to a strange game that kinda-sorta seems to be a cross between Chinese checkers and chess. Thanks to a ghost that has been living inside of him for the past 5 minutes, Shobu now has the ability to play this strange game rather easily, despite not knowing where to put down his stones. Can Shobu defeat the P.L.O.O.P's this time? Will this strange ghost (with an entirely mismatched voice) leave him once the game is over? How many puns do you think the writers could get out of the word 'Go' if this was real?"

It's the end of the line for the PLOOP's, for now anyway, but Shobu still has work to do. The Dark Bolshack's are still throwing their PLOOPy power into the volcano, and it's becoming full! Shobu has to save the world, but to do this, he'll have to defeat a new opponent, one who can use "shadow instruments," such as a magnetic sword and Mr. Sinister's cape, before he can pass! Will Shobu finally become a true Duelist? Or will Hakuoh and Knight take over and cream this enemy?

Thanks to Rekuta's failure to activate his Amulet Deck Case, our heroes were out of luck. That is, until Kokujo arrived! Well, actually, it wasn't Ko, but Jamira looking like Kokujo. After a swift pounding, the real Kokujo arrives, but he doesn't want to join the team! Luckily, Shobu saves our resident evil genius from a convienent disaster, restoring faith in our little darkness boy and thus allowing him to join our heroes!

Shobu, Kokojo, Eugene, and Mimi continue their duel against the P.L.O.O.P's. With the world at stake and the creatures breaking into the different gates, what will happen now?
