Sora Shiun'in vs. Shun Kurosaki
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Cards "Future Metropolis Heartland" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.

Turn 1: Sora

Sora Normal Summons "Furnimal Bear" (CG Star 3/1200/800). As he controls a "Furnimal" monster, he Special Summons two copies of "Furnimal Sheep" (CG Star 2/400/800) in Defense Position from his hand via their own effects. Sora Sets a card.

Turn 2: Shun

Shun Normal Summons "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (CG Star 4/1300/1600). It attacks and destroys "Furnimal Bear" (Sora 4000 → 3900). Sora activates his face-down "Furnimal Crane", which allows him to return a "Furnimal" monster which was destroyed by battle to his hand and then draw a card. Sora returns "Furnimal Bear" and draws "Death-Toy Factory". As a "Raid Raptors" monster battled this turn, Shun activates "Raid Raptors - Symbol" from his hand, which allows him to add a "Raid Raptors" monster from his Deck to his hand. He adds a copy of "Vanishing Lanius". As he Normal or Special Summoned "Vanishing Lanius" this turn, Shun activates its effect, letting him Special Summon another "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (CG Star 4/1300/1600) from his hand. He does so in Defense Position and Sets a card.

Turn 3: Sora

Sora Normal Summons "Edge Imp Scissors" (CG Star 3/1200/800). As it was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, he activates its effect, which allows him to target a "Furnimal" monster he controls and return it to his hand, then Special Summon a "Furnimal" monster from his hand. He returns one of his "Furnimal Sheep" and Special Summons "Furnimal Bear" from his hand. As "Furnimal Sheep" was returned to his hand, its effect activates, letting him add a "Fusion" from his Deck to his hand. He then activates "Fusion", fusing "Edge Imp Scissors" and "Furnimal Bear" to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (CG Star 6/2200/1800) in Attack Position. "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" attacks and destroys the Attack Position "Vanishing Lanius" (Shun 4000 → 3100). Shun activates his face-down "Raid Raptors - Return", which allows him to return a "Raid Raptors" monster which was destroyed by battle to his hand, so "Vanishing Lanius" is returned to his hand instead of being equipped to "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" via its effect. Sora Sets a card.

Turn 4: Shun

Shun draws and subsequently Normal Summons a copy of "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (CG Star 4/1300/1600). As it was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, he activates its effect to Special Summon another copy of "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (CG Star 4/1300/1600). He then overlays his three copies of "Vanishing Lanius" to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon" (Rank Star 4/100/2000/3 ORU) in Attack Position. Shun activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to increase its ATK by the total ATK of all Special Summoned monsters his opponents controls until the end of this turn ("Rise Falcon" 100 → 2700). The other effect of "Rise Falcon" lets it attack all Special Summoned monsters his opponents control once each. It attacks and destroys both "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" and the Defense Position "Furnimal Sheep" (Sora 3900 → 3400). Shun Sets two cards.

Duel continues in the next episode.
