Synopsis
In order to stop Kaito, who is fighting Academia soldiers by himself, Shun rushed to his location. However, Kaito refuses to take Shun's hand, and bares his fangs against him. In order to free Kaito's heart from his rage, Shun…

Academia Duelists vs. Kaito Tenjō
Duel is shown from an unspecified turn. Kaito controls "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon " and two unknown monsters both being treated as "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon", via the effect of the original one. The 3 Academia duelists control three copies of "Antique Gear Soldier". The "Cipher Dragons" attack all three "Antique Gear Soldiers" (Academia Students: ??? → 0 LP).

Shun Kurosaki vs. Kaito Tenjō
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Cross Over" 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: Shun

Shun Normal Summons "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (1300/1600). As it was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, he activates its effect, which lets him Special Summon a second copy of "Vanishing Lanius" from his hand in Attack Position. He then uses the effect of "Raid Raptors - Retrofit Lanius" (800/1200) in his hand, allowing him to make its Level and name the same as another "Raid Raptors" monster he controls until the End Phase. Shun overlays "Vanishing Lanius" and "Retrofit Lanius" to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon" (100/2000) in Attack Positon. He activates "Raptor's Intercept Form" and Sets two cards.

Turn 2: Kaito

Since Shun controls a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and Kaito doesn't control any monsters, Kaito Special Summons "Cipher Twin Raptor" (1600/800) in Attack Position. He Normal Summons "Cipher Wing" (1400/1200). Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Wing", Releasing it to increase the Levels of all "Cipher" monsters he controls by 4 ("Cipher Twin Raptor" CG Star 4 → 8). The effect of "Twin Raptor" allows Kaito to treat it as two Overlay Units for an Xyz Summon. Kaito overlays his Level 8 "Cipher Twin Raptor", which is treated as two monsters, to Xyz Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to take control of a monster his opponent controls until the End Phase. That monster's effects will be negated and it will be unable to attack directly, but its name and ATK will become the same as that of "Cipher Dragon". He targets "Rise Falcon", but Shun activates the effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form", which lets him negate an effect that targets a "Raid Raptors" monster controls once per turn. "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Rise Falcon", but Shun activates the other effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form", allowing him to switch the ATK and DEF of the attacked monster during damage calculation ("Rise Falcon": 100 → 2000/2000 → 100). Shun finds and activates the Action Card, "Miracle", preventing his monster's destruction by battle and halving the battle damage (Shun: 4000 → 3500 LP). Kaito Sets two cards.

Turn 3: Shun

Shun draws and subsequently activates "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force", Ranking Up his "Rise Falcon" and performing a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Special Summon "Raid Raptors - Blaze Falcon" in Attack Position (1000/2000). Shun activates the effect of "Blaze Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy all monsters Kaito controls and inflict 1000 damage for each monster destroyed. As his "Cipher" Xyz Monster would be destroyed, Kaito activates his face-down "Cipher Bit" to prevent his monster's destruction and attach "Cipher Bit" to it as an Overlay Unit. The other effect of "Blaze Falcon" lets it attack directly (Kaito 4000 → 3000). As "Blaze Falcon" inflicted battle damage to his opponent, Shun can destroy a monster his opponent controls. "Blaze Falcon" destroys "Cipher Dragon". Kaito activates his face-down "Cipher Spectrum" as a "Cipher" Xyz Monster was destroyed while it had Overlay Units attached. He can Special Summon that monster from the Graveyard, then Special Summon a second copy of the original monster from the Extra Deck ignoring the Summoning conditions. Kaito Special Summons "Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500) and Special Summons another one from the Extra Deck (3000/2500).

Turn 4: Kaito

A "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Blaze Falcon", but Kaito activates the effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form" to switch his monster's ATK and DEF ("Blaze Falcon": 1000 → 2000/2000 → 1000). Shun activates his face-down "Overlay Breast Armor", which lets him prevent his "Raid Raptors" monster's destruction by battle by detaching one of its Overlay Units instead (Shun 3500 → 2500). The second "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Blaze Falcon", but Shun uses the effect of "Overlay Breast Armor" to prevent its destruction (Shun 2500 → 500). Kaito Sets a card.

Turn 5: Shun

"Blaze Falcon" attacks a "Cipher Dragon". Shun finds and subsequently activates the Action Card "Attack Force". Since "Blaze Falcon" is battling with a monster with higher ATK, it gains 600 during damage calculation only. Shun finds and activates the Action Card "High Dive", increasing the ATK of "Blaze Falcon" by 1000. Shun finds the Action Card "Flight", but since it is only able to be activated when Shun's monster is attacked, he is unable to activate it. The attack continues and "Blaze Falcon" is destroyed (Shun 500 → 100). Shun activates the Quick-Play Magic Card "Rank-Up-Magic Death Double Force" which allows him to Special Summon a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster that was destroyed by battle from his Graveyard, then Xyz Summon a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster with double the Summoned monster's Rank by using that monster as the Overlay Unit. He Special Summons "Blaze Falcon" and Ranks it Up while performing a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Special Summon "Raid Raptors - Ultimate Falcon". Shun activates his face-down "Ultimate Full Burst" which allows him to activate the effects of "Ultimate Falcon" which require him to detach Overlay Units, then it must attack all of Kaito's monsters once each. However, "Ultimate Falcon" will be destroyed during the End Phase. Shun activates the effect of "Ultimate Falcon" which negates the effects off all off Kaito's cards and decreases the ATK of Kaito's monsters by 1000. "Ultimate Falcon" attacks and destroys a "Cipher Dragon" (Kaito 3000 → 1500). "Ultimate Falcon" attacks the other "Cipher Dragon", but Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Mirror Knight" from his hand, as a "Cipher" monster he controlled was destroyed by battle. Kaito can send it and a card ("Cipher Clone Magic") he controls to the Graveyard to Special Summon the destroyed monster from his Graveyard. Kaito Special Summons the first "Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500). As "Cipher Clone Magic" was sent from his field to the Graveyard, Kaito activates its effect to send a Continuous Magic Card from his Deck to the graveyard and apply its effects. Kaito sends "Cipher Interfere" to the Graveyard and activates its effect, which doubles the ATK of the attacked monster if he also controls a second copy of that monster ("Cipher Dragon" 2000 → 4000). The attack continues and "Ultimate Falcon" is destroyed (Shun 100 → 0).
