Sartorius quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

Sartorius

Now for my final move! I'll start by activating The Material Lord and The Spiritual Lord. Then I'll add The Sky Lord! The time has come to see the light. [viciously] Didn't I tell you, you can't run away from your destiny? Well, behold the fate of the entire human race! I sacrifice my three lord pillars to summon the most powerful creature in my deck! ARCANA FORCE EX - THE LIGHT RULER!

Chazz

Where's your duel disk anyway?

Sartorius

Who needs a duel disk when you have this! [Table appears]

Chazz

Uh, you realize that's a table, don't you?

This war is on! [makes the first move] Talk about a good start. Giant Rex, front and center!

Sartorius

Well done. Quite a powerful monster for your first turn.

Man, are you creepy.

Wait! You gotta call off this duel! Do you have any idea who you're playing against?!

Of course. That's why I accepted. I'm plannin' on greasin' the treads of my tank with this brainwashin' lunatic! Then we can get Chazz and Alexis to come to their senses.

Sartorius

Let's move on! [draws] Shall we? I'll begin with this… Arcana Force I in attack mode. [summons Arcana Force I - The Magician and the card above starts rotating]

What in Sam Hill is that?!

Sartorius

Do you believe in destiny? Everything is predetermined. By often life gives the illusion of free will.

Huh?

Sartorius

Observe. This card gives you choice. For it possesses two distinct special abilities. And you get to decide which one is used. Notice how the card rotates? It can stop upright or upside down. When it stops is up to you. Its position determines its ability.

I get the point. It's a game of chance. Now let's move on! Make it stop!

Sartorius

Arcana is right-side up. So whenever a spell card is played, it gets stronger… By doubling its points.

Syrus

Aw, man!

Sartorius

Let's try this again. I summon Arcana Force VII - The Chariot! Go ahead, you know what to do.

Stop now!

Sartorius

Its upside-down effect activates, so if The Chariot is destroyed in battle, it reappears on your side.

[chuckles] No complaints here.

Sartorius

We'll see about that.

Sartorius

You see, gentlemen. As a new student here, I'd rather not stand out.

Then get a new haircut!

Touche.

GAME ON!

Sartorius

The first move is mine! [draws] I call Arcana Force III - The Empress!

Yikes! Be careful!

Sartorius

The special abilities of my Empress are determined by the position of the card once it stops.

Then stop!

Sartorius

Foolish boy. Destiny has already played this duel, and every move has been determined. Therefore, the card will stop right-side up.

How?

Sartorius

[cackles sinisterly] Haven't you learned by now? You're not in control. Destiny is! And since the Empress is right-side up, when you play a monster, I can summon another Arcana Force card! I'll conclude with this… one card facedown.

All right, it's all you. So get your game on!

Sounds good! [draws] I'll start with this… a Destiny Hero! [summons Diamond Dude in defense mode] Diamond Dude, you're on!

Sartorius

And thanks to my Empress card, I can play Arcana Force IV - The Emperor. Come forth in attack mode! Now let's see, what will his special ability be?

Let me guess… right-side up.

Sartorius

Well, of course, Aster. Therefore all my monsters receive a bonus. Now they're stronger by 500 points!

Sartorius

I summon Arcana Force VII - The Chariot! Round and round it goes. And where it stops, only destiny knows!

Syrus

Right-side up again!

Come on, now!

Sartorius

Chariot, offer Diamond Dude a lesson in firepower! Master Blast!

Sartorius

[as he sacrifices his Empress and Aster's Diamond Dude to summon Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon] How convenient. Another card lands right-side up. So I get a little gift during my stand-by phase. Looks like destiny has my back this time!

All right, Sartorius. Your monsters may outnumber mine, but you're forgetting one important detail!

Sartorius

Really? And what would that be?

That it's still my turn! So I send a card to the graveyard to activate Dunker's effect: the 500-point strike!

There ya go!

Syrus

He may have a shot at this after all.

Told ya.

[as Sartorius summons Arcana Force XXI - The World] That's his most powerful card yet, guys!

Sartorius

And it's right-side up! But I'll save that for later. First, my Emperor and my Moon will launch an attack!

Sartorius

Ready to lose and suffer? First, I activate Necro Sacrifice! So that means two monsters appear on your side, but don't get too excited because there's a downside. Once I remove these two monsters from my graveyard, I can summon one that's even more powerful to my side of the field! So I think I'll give you my Empress and Emperor. [the Empress and Emperor both now appear on Aster's side] And because I'm nice, you can choose their mode.

Fine. Defense mode!

Sartorius

How boring, but I'm not surprised.

If they're heads up, I get their abilities, but what if they're upside down?

Sartorius

You're about to find out!

Come on!

Sartorius

Can't you see? It's your destiny to fail, Aster! Since the Empress is upside down, each time a monster is summoned to my side, one of your cards goes to the graveyard! But there's more. Just look. The Emperor is upside down as well. Therefore both of your new monsters become 500 attack points weaker.

He can't catch a break! This is just plum ridiculous!

Syrus

Talk about bad luck.

Sartorius

And now, it's time you met the newest addition to my arsenal, for I can finally summon this card, my Arcana Force XV!

The Fiend!

[after Aster summons Destiny Hero - Plasma] No way!

Sartorius

Impossible!

I'm afraid it's true! Plasma's back where it belongs! What an appropriate end! The card that brought you here is the same one that's gonna send you back where you came from!

Sartorius

[laughing sinisterly] That card is nothing but an empty shell! I have a new home in the body of your friend!

Don't make yourself too comfortable, 'cause you won't be there for king once I do this! I activate Plasma's special effect so I can steal half the attack points of one of your monsters. And I think I'll choose The World! By the way, I have another card that belonged to my dad, too, D-Force! So as long as this spell card stays face-up on my deck, my Destiny Hero - Plasma's special effect stays active, but the special abilities of your monsters don't! The only downside is that I can't draw any more cards. But thanks to Plasma and D-Force, I don't need any. Oh, yeah. And I hope you didn't plan on using any spells or traps, 'cause they're useless against me, too!

Syrus

Aster's got the upper hand!

With a card like Plasma, how could he not?

Now, Plasma, attack his Life Points directly with Vengeful Reign!

Sartorius

Your attack is cancelled, thanks to my Temperance! All I have to do is place it in my graveyard!

We're gonna do things MY way! Get your game on!

Sartorius

But I don't need to duel you! You've already given me what I want!

[Dismayed] What was I thinking?!

All right. I need a plan. Come on, Jaden, think! I've gotta deactivate his Light Barrier.

Sartorius

I can hear you. You might want to think without speaking next time.
