Episode 48

"The Wounded Falcon" (いの Teoi no Hayabusa), known as "Battlefronts" in the Dub version, is the forty-eighth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Serena escapes, holding a wounded Shun in her arms. However, they are being pursued by Sora and the Duelists from the Fusion Dimension. A 3-on-3 Duel involving Serena, Shun and the others begins, pushing the Battle Royale to an even higher climax. Meanwhile, Yūya, who has been searching for Yuzu together with Gongenzaka, meets Sora again. As he witnesses his once friend sealing people away into cards, he turns angrier and angrier.

Summary
In the LDS Center Court, Nico Smiley narrates that today is the Youth Class finals; You Show Duel School's Tatsuya vs Leo Duel School's Reira Akaba. Nico encourages both Duelists to do their best and aim for first place. Ayu warns Tatsuya to be careful, since Reira uses Fusion. Futoshi adds that there's a chance that Reira could use Synchro too. Tatsuya mentally agrees; Reira is a fearsome opponent who uses multiple Summoning methods. He looks at his "Entermachine Gadget Giant" card, thinking that he's got his own trump card. He looks up at Reira, who looks shyly away. Shūzō Hīragi states that he wants Tatsuya to win, but he also wants to know what's going on with Yuzu and Yūya. Yōko muses that she heard Mieru mentioning Yūya's name when she was talking to Michio. She wonders if this could mean…and Shūzō asks her what she means. Yōko asks if this means that Michio has made dinner for the others, and she calls it nice and unfair, prompting the local crowd to react in shock. Meanwhile, Reira looks around the arena and flinches when he sees his mother up in the main box. After a stern look from Himika, he looks at Tatsuya determinedly.

In the Ancient Ruins temple, Sora yells that this is the end, and he declares his Battle Phase, ordering "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" to attack "Force Strix", and with a demented shriek, he orders "Tiger" to send Shun…this Xyz remnant to his grave. Serena gasps in shock to hear Shun's name, as "Tiger" grabs "Force Strix" and violently beheads it. The shockwave blasts Shun off his feet and he yells in shock as he falls past the shocked Serena, down the temple steps, and finally hits the ground, his LP falling to zero as Serena looks on in horror. Serena runs down the steps of the temple towards Shun as Sora walks out of the temple, commenting in satisfaction that it looks like he's won this time. Serena reaches Shun and she attempts to help him up, but Shun groans in agony and clutches his ribs. Serena gasps that these are horrible injuries. Sora sighs in annoyance, calling Serena "Yuzu" and telling her to get out of the way, since Shun is the prey that he's hunted. Serena gets up, turns, and she activates her Duel Disk, causing Sora to realize who she is once he notices that it's an Academia Disk. Serena activates a Magic Card, "Lunar Eclipse", shrouding her field in darkness. Sora charges into the cloud, yelling at Serena to wait.

In the Volcano Area, Serena and Shun flee along a lava river, but Shun falters and he falls to his knees, clutching his injured ribs. Serena turns to help him, asking him if he's okay, but then Sora walks up, asking if Serena can let him finish Shun off, since Serena will only get hurt too. Serena scowls, but the duo are saved by the appearance of Hikage and Tsukikage, who speed in between them and Sora. Sora charges forwards, and Hikage moves to meet him. Tsukikage turns to Serena and Shun, telling them that now it's their chance, and Serena helps Shun up and follows him. Sora irritably comments that Hikage is in his way and Hikage replies that that's why he's here. They clash Duel Disks, and then they begin a Duel.

Serena asks Tsukikage why they're helping her. Tsukikage replies that once they take up a mission, they will stake their life to complete it; that is one of the guidelines of their Fuma clan. In the Leo Corporation observation room, Reiji muses that Serena is an important asset for negotiating with Academia, and comments to Nakajima that she must be protected. He asks how many enemies are left, and Nakajima explains that they have confirmed the presence of four, including Sora Shiun'in.

Yūya and Gongenzaka reach the Ancient Ruins Temple, yelling Yuzu's name, but she isn't there either, and Yūya desperately wonders where she could have gone. In the Iceberg Area, Michio and Teppei have found the unconscious Mieru, and Michio gently shakes her, trying to wake her up, but she doesn't respond. Teppei comments that they don't need to worry about Michio since she isn't part of the Battle Royal, but Michio reminds him that leaving Mieru here would be dangerous due to the other Duelists that have invaded. He asks Teppei to get her to a safe place, and Teppei protests at being forced into helping too.

Dennis and the three remaining Obelisk Force watch Serena, Shun, and Tsukikage departing from behind a rock. Dennis points Serena out to them, and wishes them luck. The red-jeweled member asks if Dennis isn't coming, and Dennis explains that that would be an issue given the number of security cameras in the area. As Serena helps Shun along as they follow Tsukikage, the Obelisk Force step up behind them, the green-jeweled member asking her to please not resist. The red-jeweled one explains that they've been tasked with bringing her back. Serena tells them that they'll have to take her by force, but to her surprise, Shun and Tsukikage step forwards to defend her. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force declares that they leave them no choice. The Obelisk Force all activate their Duel Disks, and Shun, Serena, and Tsukikage do likewise, Tsukikage activating a left-handed Disk. All six Duelists yell, "Duel!"

Sora Summons "Edge Imp Saw", commenting that he's gotta make this one quick. Hikage replies that he won't let that happen.

Shun moves to take the first turn, but Tsukikage replies that he shall initiate. He declares his turn and Summons "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu" from his hand, before Setting three cards to end his turn. The red-jeweled Obelisk Force steps forwards, declaring his turn. He draws and Summons "Antique Gear Hound Dog", and activates its effect; once per turn, when his opponent controls a monster, he can inflict 600 damage to his opponent. He declares "Hound Flame", and "Hunting Hound" launches a gout of flames. Tsukikage responds with a Continuous Trap Card, "Barrier Ninjitsu of Hazy Extinguishing", which negates all effect damage that is 800 or less since he controls a "Ninja" monster. A shield of smoke forms over Tsukikage and protects him from the flame. Undeterred, the Obelisk Force activates "Fusion", fusing the "Hound Dog" on his field with the other two in his hand. He chants, "Mechanized hounds who carry on the ancient souls, flock together and become one with new power! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!" He declares his Battle Phase, but Tsukikage interrupts him, activating the Continuous Trap Card, "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows" since he controls a "Ninja" monster. By paying half of his LP, he can end the Battle Phase. A whirlwind surrounds him, reducing his LP to 2000. Shun objects, but Tsukikage points out that the payment is nothing compared to Shun's injuries. The red-jeweled Obelisk Force Sets two cards and ends his turn.

Facing Sora, Hikage activates the Magic Card, "Ninjitsu Technique of Hazy Duplication", allowing him to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "Ninja" monster from his hand, and he Special Summons "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu".

The green-jeweled Obelisk Force declares a Fusion Summon, calling out his own "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog". He declares his Battle Phase, but Tsukikage uses the effect of "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows" again, paying half his LP to end the Battle Phase. His LP falls to 1000 as the whirlwind surrounds him, and the green-jeweled Obelisk Force Sets three cards, sulkily ending his turn. Hikage Releases "Shingetsu" to Advance Summon "Twilight Chunin - Nichirin", which appears with 2300 ATK. Sora just smiles.

The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force declares his own Fusion Summon, calling out another "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog", and he too declares his Battle Phase, but is blocked by the effect of "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows". Tsukikage falls to 500 LP as the whirlwind surrounds him, and he falls to one knee. Cursing, the yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force Sets three cards of his own and ends his turn. Serena asks Tsukikage why he's going so far. Tsukikage explains that it is all according to plan; his brother Hikage fends off the intruders with the brilliance of the Hikage, while Tsukikage, like the Tsukikage, protected them and stalled the enemy.

Shun states that that means all that's left is his turn then, and he steps forwards, but Serena steps forwards as well, and she declares her turn. She draws, and then she activates "Fusion", fusing "Moonlight Cat Dancer" and "Moonlight Purple Butterfly", chanting, "Blue cat that prowls through the darkness! Butterfly with violet poison! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Appear and come forth! Beautiful beast that dances in the Moon light! Moonlight Cat Dancer!" Dennis watches from behind a rock, thinking that of course Serena would use Academia-style Fusion. Then he sees Michio and Teppei, who is carrying Mieru, sneaking around behind the Duel and backing back into hiding to avoid being spotted. Michio observes that the Obelisk Force must be the enemy from Academia that Yūya mentioned, and Teppei groans that they were trying to take Mieru to safety, but instead ended up in the most dangerous place.

Serena activates the Magic Card, "Moonlight Perfume", Special Summoning a "Moonlight" monster from her Graveyard. She Special Summons "Blue Cat", which activates its effect to double the ATK of a "Moonlight" monster that she controls, so she targets "Cat Dancer", increasing its ATK to 4800.

Sora fuses "Edge Imp Saw" and "Furnimal Lio", chanting, "Steel blades possessed by demons. Become one with the fanged beast and reveal your new form and power! Fusion Summon! Show yourself! King of beasts that tears everything to pieces! Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio!" Yūya and Gongenzaka run through a passage, and they come out on the other side of the river of lava from Sora, Yūya yelling Sora's name. Sora turns in shock to see Yūya, and then he sighs, before looking at Hikage hungrily.

Serena activates the effect of "Cat Dancer", Releasing a "Moonlight" monster in order to allow it to attack all monsters her opponent controls twice each. She Releases "Blue Cat", and "Cat Dancer's" sashes glow bright blue. Serena declares her Battle Phase, attacking with "Cat Dancer". The red-jeweled Obelisk Force explains that that won't happen, and he activates a Trap Card, "Fusion Dispersal", much to Serena's shock. The Trap returns an attacking Fusion Monster to the Extra Deck and ends the Battle Phase, and then returns its Fusion Materials to the field in Attack Position, before finally inflicting damage equal to the ATK of the Fusion Material with the higher ATK. Serena gasps as the 1600 ATK of "Blue Cat" is dealt to her, blasting her backwards and reducing her to 2400 LP. The red-jeweled Obelisk Force comments that it's too bad, but they fully comprehend Serena's Deck. Behind their rock, Michio urges Teppei to help them. Teppei protests, since even if they fight the Obelisk Force they won't get any Pendulum Cards. Michio protests that their friends are in a pinch. Teppei thoughtfully agrees that they could use their power to turn a pinch into a reversal, but then he snaps and calls Michio an idiot, saying that that's not happening.

Sora begins to advance on Hikage, who slowly backs away, as Yūya yells his name. He asks what he's doing, why is he turning the people that he defeats into cards? Gongenzaka warns Sora that that cannot be forgiven. Yūya yells at Sora to look at him, and Sora irritably tells him to wait since he's about to finish Hikage off. Yūya snarls at Sora to stop messing around, and he charges at him, but Gongenzaka restrains him, telling not to be stupid. Then he gasps to see Serena, thinking that she's Yuzu, and tells Yūya to look. Yūya gasps Yuzu's name as Serena ends her turn in frustration. Shun steps forwards.

Michio yells, "Let's go!" and charges out of hiding. Teppei begs him not to, but Michio takes up a spot beside Tsukikage, telling the Obelisk Force that they're facing them now. Teppei leaves Mieru in hiding and resignedly follows him out, and they both activate their Duel Disks. But as soon as they do, a message reads "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 LP", much to their confusion. Then the two of them are struck by lightning, reducing them to 2000 LP each as Teppei complains that they haven't even done anything yet.

Staggering, Michio steps forwards and draws to begin his turn. He activates the Magic Card, "Instant Cooking", allowing him to Special Summon "Royal Cookmates" from his hand whose Levels are lower than the total Levels of all monsters his opponent controls. With the three "Triple Bite Hound Dogs" having a total of twenty-one Levels, Michio brings out "Royal Cookmate Knight Napolitan", "Royal Cookmate Queen Omelette" and "Royal Cookmate King Hamburg". Setting a card, Michio ends his prep work. The green-jeweled Obelisk Force comments that no matter how many of them come out, they can't compete with the Obelisk Force.

Michio replies that he'd prefer it if the Obelisk Force stop underestimating them, and he asks Teppei if he agrees, slapping his shoulder and sending him stumbling forwards. Teppei panics since he's drawn, but then he chuckles, activating the Continuous Magic Card, "Inland Sea", which lowers the Level of all WATER monsters by 1. This allows him to Normal Summon "The Legendary Fisherman" as a Level 4 monster. Then, by sending "The Legendary Fisherman" to the Graveyard, he can Special Summon "The Legendary Fisherman III". Teppei chants, "Be reborn with a legend of the ages, the Legendary Fisherman III!" He activates the effect of "The Legendary Fisherman III" since it was Special Summoned, allowing him to banish any number of monsters his opponent controls. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force gasps in shock, and Teppei declares that he'll get all three of them in one big catch, as "The Legendary Fisherman III" snatches the three "Triple Bite Hound Dogs" up in its net. Michio congratulates Teppei, and activates his Trap Card, "Monster Pie". Since he controls a "Cookmate" monster and monsters his opponent controls have left the field, he can Special Summon a Monster Pie Token for each one to his opponent's side of the field. A Monster Pie Token appears above each of the Obelisk Force, much to their shock, and then Michio activates the effects of each of his "Royal Cookmates" since a monster was Summoned or Special Summoned, returning them to the hand and then destroying a monster for each card returned. The three Tokens explode, and Teppei tells the Obelisk Force to take this effect on top of it. He explains that by returning the banished monsters to the Graveyard, the effect of "The Legendary Fisherman III" will double effect damage that they deal. Michio then explains that the Monster Pie Tokens will each inflict 1000 damage when destroyed, and with the damage doubled, each of the Obelisk Force will take 2000 damage. All three of the Obelisk Force are struck by lightning and fall to 2000 LP. Michio comments to Teppei that they're the best combination, aren't they? Teppei agrees, calling Michio "partner".

But the green-jeweled Obelisk Force laughs, claiming that Michio and Teppei's strongest combination has led them to the worst ending. He activates all three of his Set Continuous Trap Cards; "Antique Gear Reborn", "Antique Gear Spark Shot" and "Antique Gear Booster". The effect of "Reborn" first revives "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" from the Graveyard and increases its ATK by 200, to 2000. Next, the effect of "Antique Gear Spark Shot" will inflict damage to his opponent equal to half the ATK of the revived monster, and finally the damage will be doubled by "Antique Gear Booster". The Obelisk Force declares, "Antique Revive Howling", and "Triple Bite Hound Dog" blasts a surge of yellow light from its mouths, blasting Michio into the wall and reducing his LP to zero. Teppei screams, "Michio!" in horror as the energy fades, and Michio slumps to the ground from the impact crater. Serena gasps in horror, and Teppei whispers, "Michio", again, and the green-jeweled Obelisk Force snickers, commenting that they shouldn't have interfered. He raises his Duel Disk, and Yūya realizes what's about to happen, yelling at the Obelisk Force to stop. But they do not heed his words; three beams of purple light shine from the Obelisk Force's Duel Disk, and a card containing Michio flutters to the ground.

Yūya whispers Michio's name, and Gongenzaka yells that Yuzu is in trouble, so he'll go. He sprints off, and Yūya turns to Sora, telling him to stop this already; why is he doing something this horrible. Sora snarls that Yūya is annoying, and Yūya's eyes begin to glow red.

The yellow-jeweled Obelisk tells Teppei that he's next, activating his own "Antique Gear Reborn" and "Antique Gear Booster", reviving his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" with its ATK boosted to 2000. This triggers the effect of "Antique Gear Spark Shot", inflicting half of its ATK to Teppei, and the yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force's own "Booster" doubles the damage to 2000. Teppei shrieks as the second "Triple Bite Hound Dog" breathes a surge of yellow light, knocking him down and reducing his LP to zero. Teppei looks up to see Michio's card, and he asks in bemusement what Michio is doing as a card. Purple light envelops him as he dazedly points out that they were supposed to be the strongest combination. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force tosses the card containing Teppei beside Michio's, telling them that they can be a combo as cards for all eternity.

The sight further enrages Yūya, his hair standing on end, and darkness beginning to surround his body. Hikage's foot hits the edge of the river of lava; preventing him from going further. Sora comments that they're done here. He activates the effect of "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio", destroying a monster that Hikage controls to inflict damage equal to its ATK. "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio" blasts its blades from its mane, destroying "Nichirin" and reducing Hikage's LP to zero. Hikage yells in regret as he explodes into purple light, the card containing him carelessly tossed aside. Something inside Yūya snaps, and he screams in agony as the darkness intensifies, falling to his knees and groaning. He grits his teeth and he writhes in pain; his eyes seeing the smile on Sora's face as Sora walks away, and Yūya looks aside to see the struggling Serena. He sees the Knights of the Duel Disks students, Michio, Teppei and Hikage all falling towards a vortex, and finally he howls in agony as the darkness takes hold, leaping over the river of lava and screaming Sora's name in fury.

The red-jeweled Obelisk Force declares that Tsukikage is next. He activates his own face-down "Antique Gear Reborn" to revive his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and increase its ATK by 200. Then the green-jeweled Obelisk Force reapplies the effect of "Antique Gear Spark Shot" inflicts half its ATK – more than enough to finish Tsukikage off. The third "Triple Bite Hound Dog" is revived and it blasts it "Antique Revive Howling" attack at Tsukikage. As the blast surges towards Tsukikage, the Ninjitsu Duelist closes his eyes quietly, ready to face his fate. A voice yells out at the Obelisk Force to hold it right there, and Shingo steps forwards and activates the Action Magic, "Flame Guard", reducing effect damage to zero. Shingo declares that now that he's here, they'll have the strength of a hundred more. He explains that Reiji Akaba filled him in on the situation; but then his Duel Disk declares "Intrusion Penalty: 2000 points". Shingo is confused, and then he is struck down by lightning, screeching that Reiji didn't fill him in about this. He hits the ground hard, but struggles up, claiming that he'll show them why he's the strongest man from LDS.

Sora turns to see Yūya standing before him, the darkness shrouding his body. Yūya snarls that Sora is wrong, though Sora barely reacts. Yūya suddenly remembers Yūto's words telling him to bring smiles with Dueling, and the calms down, the darkness fading. He tells Sora to Duel him, and Sora agrees, casually commenting that he doesn't like the idea of having a losing streak against Yūya anyway. He gestures to a nearby cave, suggesting that they Duel where they won't be interrupted, and Yūya follows him in. They face off on opposite ends of a bridge over a river of lava, and Yūya vows to bring Sora's true smile back with Dueling. They both yell, "DUEL!"

The members of Obelisk Force are not named, but are differentiated from one another here by the color of the gemstone on their masks.

Turn 1: Tsukikage

Tsukikage Normal Summons "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu" (CG Star 4/1500/100) and Sets three cards.

Turn 2: Red

Red Normal Summons "Antique Gear Hound Dog" (CG Star 3/1000/1000). As his opponent controls a monster, he activates the effect of "Hound Dog", inflicting 600 damage to the opponent. Tsukikage activates his face-down "Barrier Ninjitsu of Hazy Extinguishing", allowing him to reduce any effect damage lower than or equal to 800 to 0, since he controls a "Ninja" monster. Red activates "Fusion", fusing the "Hound Dog" on his field with two more copies from his hand to Fusion Summon "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" (CG Star 7/1800/1000) in Attack Position. Tsukikage activates his face-down "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows", since he controls a "Ninja" monster. It allows him to end his opponent's Battle Phase, by paying half of his Life Points (Tsukikage: 4000 → 2000 LP). Red Sets two cards.

An unknown amount of time is skipped.

Turn 3: Green

Green Fusion Summons "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" (CG Star 7/1800/1000) in Attack Position. Tsukikage activates the effect of "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows" to end his opponent's Battle Phase by paying half his Life Points (Tsukikage: 2000 → 1000 LP).

An unknown amount of time is skipped.

Turn 4: Yellow

Yellow Fusion Summons "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" (CG Star 7/1800/1000) in Attack Position. Tsukikage activates the effect of "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows" to end his opponent's Battle Phase by paying half of his Life Points (Tsukikage: 1000 → 500 LP). Yellow Sets three cards.

Turn 5: Serena

Serena draws and subsequently activates "Fusion", fusing "Moonlight Blue Cat" and "Moonlight Purple Butterfly" from her hand to Fusion Summon "Moonlight Cat Dancer" (CG Star 7/2400/2000) in Attack Position. She then activates "Moonlight Perfume", allowing her to Special Summon a "Moonlight" monster from her Graveyard. She Special Summons "Moonlight Blue Cat" (CG Star 4/1600/1200). Since "Blue Cat" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing her to double the ATK of a "Moonlight" monster she controls until the end of this turn. Serena targets "Cat Dancer" ("Cat Dancer": 2400 → 4800/2000). She then activates the effect of "Cat Dancer", letting her Release a "Moonlight" monster to allow it to attack each monster her opponent controls twice each this turn, but the attacked monsters cannot be destroyed by battle during the first attack on each of them. She Releases "Blue Cat". "Cat Dancer" attacks Red's "Triple Bite Hound Dog". Red activates his face-down card "Fusion Dispersal", since his opponent's Fusion Monster declared an attack. He can return that attacking monster to the Extra Deck, end the Battle Phase, Special Summon all the Fusion Materials that were used for its Fusion Summon from the Graveyard to his opponent's side of the field then inflict damage to his opponent equal to the ATK of the Fusion Material monster with the highest ATK. "Cat Dancer" is returned to the Extra Deck and "Moonlight Blue Cat" (CG Star 4/1600/1200) and "Moonlight Purple Butterfly" (CG Star 3/1000/1000) are Special Summoned on Serena's field (Serena: 4000 → 2400 LP).

At this moment, Michio and Teppei interfere with the Duel by joining it, thus they receive a penalty of 2000 LP (Michio: 4000 → 2000 LP; Teppei: 4000 → 2000 LP).

Turn 6: Michio

Michio activates "Instant Cooking", allowing him to Special Summon as many "Royal Cookmate" monsters as possible from his hand whose Levels are less than or equal to the total Levels of all monsters his opponent controls. He Special Summons "Royal Cookmate Knight Napolitan" (CG Star 8/300/1100), "Royal Cookmate Queen Omelette" (CG Star 9/300/???) and "Royal Cookmate King Hamburg" (CG Star 10/300/1300) from his hand. He Sets a card.

Turn 7: Teppei

Teppei activates "Inland Sea", since there is a face-up card in the Field Zone. The current Field Magic Card is now treated as "Umi". This allows him to reduce the Level of all WATER monsters in his hand and on his side of the field by 1. Teppei Normal Summons "The Legendary Fisherman" (CG Star 5/1850/1600) as a Level 4 (CG Star 5 → 4) monster. He then Releases it to Special Summon "The Legendary Fisherman III" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his hand. Since it was Special Summoned using its effect, he can banish any number of monsters his opponent controls. He banishes all of the Obelisk Force's monsters. Michio activates his face-down "Monster Pie", since his opponent's monster(s) left the field and he controls a "Cookmate" monster. He can Special Summon a "Monster Pie Token" (CG Star 3/1000/???) to each of his opponent's side of the field for each of those monsters. Michio activates the effects of his three "Royal Cookmate" monsters, returning them to his hand to destroy the three "Monster Pie Token"'s. Since a "Monster Pie Token" was destroyed, the other effect of "Monster Pie" inflicts 1000 damage to the Obelisk Force. Teppei activates the other effect of "The Legendary Fisherman III", since his opponents are taking effect damage, by returning all cards banished by its effect to the Graveyard, he can double that effect damage (Red: 4000 → 2000 LP, Green: 4000 → 2000 LP, Yellow: 4000 → 2000 LP). Green activates three face-down cards - "Antique Gear Reborn", "Antique Gear Spark Shot" and "Antique Gear Booster". As he controls no monsters, "Reborn" lets him Special Summon an "Antique Gear" monster from his Graveyard that was sent there this turn and increase its original ATK by 200. He Summons "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" with it original ATK increased by 200 (CG Star 7/1800 → 2000/1000). Since an "Antique Gear" monster was Special Summoned from the Graveyard while he controlled no monsters, the effect of "Spark Shot" lets him inflict damage to his opponent equal to half the ATK of the Special Summoned monster. Since an "Antique Gear" card is inflicting damage, the effect of "Booster" then doubles that damage. Green inflicts the damage to Michio (Michio: 2000 → 0 LP). Yellow activates his own face-down "Antique Gear Reborn" and "Antique Gear Booster", while using the effect of Green's "Spark Shot", Special Summoning his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and inflicting 2000 damage to Teppei (Teppei: 2000 → 0 LP). Red activates his own face-down "Antique Gear Reborn", while using the effect of Green's "Spark Shot", Special Summoning his "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and inflicting 1000 damage to Tsukikage, but Shingo activates the Action Card "Flame Guard", reducing the effect damage to 0. Since he wasn't part of the Duel and interfered, Shingo receives a penalty of 2000 LP (Shingo: 4000 → 2000 LP).

Duel continues in the next episode.
