Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 4: Reiji

Reiji activates "DD Magical Astronomer Kepler" (Left Pendulum Scale 10) and "DD Magical Astronomer Galilei" (Right Pendulum Scale 1) in his left and right Pendulum Zones, respectively. He then Pendulum Summons "DDD Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok" (CG Star 8/2200/3000) from his hand in Attack Position. Since it was Special Summoned, he activates its effect, which allows him to Special Summon a "DDD" monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "DDD Wave Overlord Caesar" (CG Star ?/???/???) via this effect in Attack Position. Reiji Normal Summons "DD Necro Slime" (CG Star 1/300/300). He then activates the other effect of "Abyss Ragnarok", which allows him to Release 1 other "DD" monster he controls once per turn to banish a monster his opponent controls. Reiji Releases "Necro Slime" and banishes "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 8/3000/2000) via this effect. Reiji activates the effect of the "Necro Slime" in his Graveyard. By banishing it from the Graveyard, he can Fusion Summon a "DDD" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck, using monsters from his side of the field as Fusion Materials. Reiji fuses "Abyss Ragnarok" and "Caesar" to Fusion Summon "DDD Oblivion King Caesar Ragnarok" (CG Star 10, 10/3200/3000) in Attack Position. Since "Caesar" was sent from the field to the Graveyard, he activates its effect, allowing him to add a "Covenant" card from his Deck to his hand. Reiji adds "Re-contract Covenant" to his hand via this effect. "Caesar Ragnarok" attacks and destroys "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 8/3000/2000) (Yūya: 2000 → 1800 LP). Reiji Sets two cards.

Turn 5: Yūya

Yūya Pendulum Summons "Magician of Astromancy" (CG Star 5/1200/2400) and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He then Normal Summons "Entermate Pendulum Magician" (CG Star 4/1500/1000). Yūya then activates the Pendulum effect of "Synthesis Magician", changing the Level of "Magician of Astromancy" to that of another monster he controls. He targets "Magician of Astromancy" ("Magician of Astromancy": CG Star 5 → 4). He then overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Rank Star 4/2500/2000/2 ORU) in Attack Position. He activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of a Level 5 or higher monster Reiji controls ("Caesar Ragnarok" 3200 → 1600) and add that amount to its own ATK ("Dark Rebellion" 2500 → 4100) until the End Phase. Yūya activates the effect again, detaching another Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of "Caesar Ragnarok" again ("Caesar Ragnarok" 1600 → 800) and add that amount to its own ATK ("Dark Rebellion" 4100 → 4900). "Dark Rebellion" attacks "Caesar Ragnarok", but Reiji activates its effect, allowing him to return one other card he controls to his hand and then equip a monster Yūya controls to it, with "Caesar Ragnarok" gaining ATK equal to the equipped monster's ATK. Reiji returns "Kepler" to his hand and then equips "Odd-Eyes" to "Caesar Ragnarok" ("Caesar Ragnarok" 800 → 3300), with this effect. The attack of "Dark Rebellion" continues "Caesar Ragnarok" is destroyed (Reiji: 1900 → 300 LP). Yūya Sets a card.

Turn 6: Reiji

Reiji draws "DDD Cruel End King Hell Armageddon". During the Standby Phase, the Pendulum effect of "Galilei" activates, increasing its Pendulum Scale by 2 ("Galilei": Right Pendulum Scale 1 → 3). Reiji activates "DD Magical Astronomer Kepler" (Left Pendulum Scale 10) in his right Pendulum Zone. Reiji then Pendulum Summons "DDD Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok" (CG Star 8/2200/3000) from his Extra Deck and "DDD Cruel End King Hell Armageddon" (CG Star 8, 8, 8/3000/1000) from his hand in Attack Position. Since Yūya controls only one monster and no cards in his Magic & Trap Card Zones, he activates his face-down "Misdirection Wing", which allows him to increase the ATK of a monster he controls by 800, and negate the effects of all cards Reiji controls until the End Phase. Yūya targets "Dark Rebellion" for this effect ("Dark Rebellion" 2500 → 3300). Reiji overlays his two Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon "DDD Kali Yuga the Twin Dawn Overlord (anime)" (CG Star ?/???/???) in Attack Position. Since it was Special Summoned, its effect activates, negating the effects of all other face-up cards currently on the field except itself, until the end of the turn. Thus, the effect of "Misdirection Wing" is negated and the ATK of "Dark Rebellion" returns to normal ("Dark Rebellion" 3300 → 2500). "Kali Yuga" attacks and destroys "Dark Rebellion" (Yūya: 1800 → 800 LP).

Turn 7: Yūya

Yūya draws "Shuffle Reborn" and since he controls no monsters, he subsequently activates it, letting him Special Summon a monster from his Graveyard with its effects negated, draw a card and shuffle 1 card he controls into his Deck. At the End Phase, the drawn card and Summoned monster will be banished. He Special Summons "Dark Rebellion" (Rank Star 4/2500/2000) in Attack Position and returns "Entermate Trump Witch" to his Deck and draws "Antithesis Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 3). He activates "Antithesis Magician" in his right Pendulum Zone. Yūya Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He activates the Pendulum Effect of "Antithesis Magician", treating "Dark Rebellion" as having a Level equal to its Rank ("Dark Rebellion": Rank Star 4 → CG Star 4). Yūya activates the Pendulum effect of "Synthesis Magician", changing the Level of "Dark Rebellion" to that of another monster he controls. He targets "Odd-Eyes" ("Dark Rebellion": CG Star 4 → 7). Yūya overlays his two Level 7 Dragon-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" (Rank Star 7/3000/2500/2 ORU). Yūya activates the effect of the "Misdirection Wing" in his Graveyard. By banishing it and two cards he controls, he can increase the ATK of a monster he controls by 800 and negate the effects of all cards his opponent controls. He banishes "Misdirection Wing", "Synthesis Magician" and "Antithesis Magician" to increase the ATK of "Rebellion Dragon" (3000 → 3800). The effect of "Kali Yuga" prevents its own effects from being negated by any other cards. "Rebellion Dragon" attacks "Kali Yuga", but Reiji activates the other effect of "Kali Yuga", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy all Magic and Trap Cards on the field. He then detaches the other Overlay Unit to activate the other effect of "Kali Yuga", returning all Magic and Trap Cards destroyed from his side in this turn, back to the field. Because his Trap Cards have been destroyed and re-Set, they are not treated as having been on the field when "Misdirection Wing" was activated, meaning he may activate them. Reiji activates his face-down "Contract of the Mistaken Seal", which allows him to negate the effect of a Trap Card that was activated this turn. Thus, the effect of "Misdirection Wing" is negated ("Rebellion Dragon" 3800 → 3000). He then activates his face-down "Re-contract Covenant" since he negated the effect of his opponent's Trap Card with a card effect, he can activate that negated card's effect for himself. Thus, the effect of "Misdirection Wing" is activated for and "Kali Yuga" gains 800 ATK ("Kali Yuga" 3500 → 4300). The attack of "Rebellion Dragon" continues and it is destroyed (Yūya: 800 → 0 LP).
