Sponge Hunt: Pride & Redemption

Yugi

He's here. I can feel his presence through the Millennium Puzzle.

Jotaro

Yare yare daze. This sponge's hatred is stronger than I expected.

Optimus

His bigotry threatens the freedom of all sentient beings. We cannot show mercy.

Goku

(The way he mocked their love... I won't let that stand!)

Yugi

Dark Magician, standby! This ends tonight!

Jotaro

(ORA... I sense something else. This isn't just about hatred... there's something possessing him.)

Optimus

Wait! His spark signature... it's being corrupted by an external force!

Goku

(If he's not truly evil... then who is the real enemy here?)

Optimus

The transformation is complete. This flag carries the hopes of millions.

Yugi

(The Millennium Puzzle... it's resonating with something pure.)

Goku

I know you're in there, SpongeBob. This hate isn't yours.

Jotaro

ORA! The real enemy's using you as a puppet!

Optimus

By the Matrix, I command you to release this innocent!

Yugi

(The Millennium Eye... it's watching us through the pixels.)

Goku

Show yourself! Who's really behind this hate?

Jotaro

(The timeline... it's splitting. This isn't just one enemy.)

Goku

(I can't... I can't hit him. Not like this.)

Yugi

The slurs... they're being rewritten into protection spells!

Jotaro

ORA! These tears aren't just corrosive... they're memories being purged.

Optimus

(His spark signature... it's being overwritten by corrupted data streams.)

Goku

SpongeBob! Fight whatever's controlling you!

Yugi

The puzzle... it's showing me who's really behind this!

Jotaro

(One second... I need just one more second to save them both!)

Optimus

By the Matrix... I release you from this digital prison!

Goku

(Welcome back, old friend. Let's find who did this to you together.)

Yugi

Mr. Krabs... you were behind this corruption all along?

Optimus

Your greed has poisoned an innocent soul. This ends now, Krabs!

Goku

(He hurt SpongeBob... he hurt everyone...)

Yugi

Goku! Behind you—

Yugi

(My friends... protect them...)

Goku

(Yugi... no...)

Optimus

For Yugi. For love. For justice.

Jotaro

(The world will remember this... and they'll pay.)
