Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush!! [Season 1 Episode 11]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush!! – Episode 11: “Testing Time!” – A Wild Ride of Twists and Duels

If you thought Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush!! was just another card-battling anime, Episode 11, titled “Testing Time!” (or “Finding Zuwijo!” in the Japanese version), is here to prove you wrong. This episode, which aired on June 12, 2022, in Japan and March 22, 2025, in the U.S., delivers a mix of emotional revelations, high-stakes duels, and some classic Yu-Gi-Oh! absurdity that fans have come to love.

The Plot Thickens

The episode kicks off with Yudias facing a shocking truth about his identity—something that throws him for a loop. Fans on MyAnimeList were quick to point out how this twist added depth to his character, even if it felt a bit out of left field. One user noted, “Real identity revealed and now Yudias has to face the truth! This is some bizarre twist for him, but luckily, we had a duel this time, and not just a breakdown.”

And oh boy, does the duel deliver. The introduction of Dark Galaxy Dragon had fans buzzing, with many calling it “epic” and praising its design. The card battles in Go Rush!! continue to be a highlight, blending strategy with the fast-paced Rush Duel format that keeps things fresh.

The Antagonist’s Downfall

One of the biggest surprises of the episode was the antagonist’s defeat—by Kuiadul, of all people. Fans were split on this. Some loved the unpredictability, while others felt it was a bit too convenient. A comment on MyAnimeList read, “Never thought the antagonist of the arc would be defeated by Kuiadul of all people. They’re really getting a lot of mileage out of that Monster Reborn plot point from Sevens as well.”

This nod to Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens was a nice touch for long-time fans, but even newcomers could appreciate the sheer audacity of the move.

Yuamu Steals the Show

Let’s be real—Yuamu is the MVP of this episode. After a stretch where some fans felt the Dark Matter arc was dragging (“I was getting bored as heck and felt that the dark matter arc was irrelevant and boring”), her return brought back the energy the series needed. One fan summed it up perfectly: “Love it, nice seeing Yuamu (best girl) again.”

Her dynamic with Yudias and the rest of the cast keeps the humor and heart of the show alive, proving that Go Rush!! isn’t just about the duels—it’s about the characters driving them.

Final Thoughts

“Testing Time!” is a solid entry in Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush!!’s first season. It balances emotional stakes with the over-the-top action the franchise is known for, and while some plot points might feel rushed, the episode’s energy and fan-favorite moments make up for it.

If you’re a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, this episode is a must-watch. And if you’re new to the series? Well, buckle up—because Go Rush!! is just getting started.

Rating: 8.5/10 – A wild, fun, and sometimes chaotic ride that reminds us why we love Yu-Gi-Oh! in the first place.
