Synopsis
Shun continues to fight against the Obelisk Force despite his injuries, assisted by Shingo and Gongenzaka who suddenly entered into the Duel. At the same time, Yūya Duels against Sora but was responded with ridicule. Despite eventually being able to convey his thoughts to Sora and make him change his mind slightly, however...

Yūya Sakaki vs. Sora Shiun'in
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Wonder Quartet" 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 activates "Toypot", allowing him to discard a card once per turn to draw a card and reveal it, and if it is a Level 4 or lower monster, it is Special Summoned, otherwise it is discarded. Sora discards "Furnimal Wing" (CG Star 1, 1/100/100) to draw "Furnimal Bear" and then Special Summon it (CG Star 3/1200/800) in Attack Position. He then activates "Fusion", fusing "Furnimal Bear" with the "Edge Imp Scissors" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (CG Star 6/2200/1800) in Attack Position. Sora Sets a card.

Turn 2: Yūya

Yūya draws "Magician of Chronomancy". Yūya activates "Magician of Chronomancy" (Left Pendulum Scale 8) and "Magician of Astromancy" (Right Pendulum Scale 1) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. "Odd-Eyes" attacks "Death-Toy Scissors Bear", but Sora finds and activates the Action Card "Flame Chain" to reduce the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" by 400. As a Pendulum Monster is battling and a Magic Card was activated, Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Magician of Chronomancy", negating the activation of that Magic Card, Setting it, and preventing it from being activated for the rest of this turn. Yūya then finds and activates the Action Card "Flame Power", increasing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" by 400 ("Odd-Eyes": 2500 → 2900/2000) until the end of the turn. Sora activates his face-down "Fusion Cancellation", returning "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" to his Extra Deck and Special Summoning "Furnimal Bear" (CG Star 3/1200/800) and "Edge Imp Scissors" (CG Star 3/1200/800) from his Graveyard in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Odd-Eyes" attacks and destroys "Scissors". The effect of "Flame Power" inflicts damage to Sora equal to the destroyed monster's DEF (Sora 4000 → 3200 LP).

Turn 3: Sora

Sora draws "Furnimal Wing". He activates the effect of "Toypot", discarding "Wing" to draw "Furnimal Owl" and then Special Summon it (CG Star 2/1000/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Owl" as it was Special Summoned, adding "Fusion" from his Deck to his hand. Sora activates the effect of the "Furnimal Wing" in his Graveyard, banishing it and another copy from there to draw two cards, then Release "Toypot" to draw another card. Sora activates "Edge Nightmare", which lets him Special Summon an "Edge Imp" monster that was used for a Fusion Summon from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Scissors" in Attack Position. He then activates "Fusion", fusing "Furnimal Bear", "Furnimal Owl" and "Scissors" on his field to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" (CG Star 6/1900/1200) in Attack Position. The effect of "Tiger" increases the ATK of all "Death-Toy" monsters Sora controls by 300 for each "Furnimal" and "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" monster he controls ("Tiger": 1900 → 2200/1200). The effect of the Fusion Summoned "Tiger" activates, allowing Sora to destroy cards Yūya controls up to the number of Fusion Materials used for its Fusion Summon. As three Materials were used, Sora destroys "Odd-Eyes", "Magician of Astromancy" and "Magician of Chronomancy". "Tiger" attacks directly (Yūya 4000 → 1800 LP). Sora Sets two cards.

Turn 4: Yūya

Yūya Normal Summons "Entermate Amenboat" (CG Star 4/500/1600). As he Normal Summoned a "Entermate" monster, Yūya also Special Summons "Entermate Secondonkey" (CG Star 4/1000/2000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Yūya overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Rank Star 4/2500/2000/2 ORU). He activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of a Level 5 or higher monster Sora controls and add that amount to its own ATK until the end of this turn. Sora activates his face-down "Death-Toy March", negating an effect that would target a "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster he controls, by sending a "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster with the same Level as the monster on his field from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and then Fusion Summoning another "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck that lists the sent monster as a Fusion Material. Sora sends "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" to the Graveyard and Fusion Summons "Death-Toy Sabre Tiger" (CG Star 8/2400/2000) in Attack Position. The effect of "Sabre Tiger" activates as it was Special Summoned, allowing Sora to Special Summon a "Death-Toy" monster from his Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. He Special Summons "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (CG Star 6/2200/1800) in Attack Position. The effect of "Sabre Tiger" increases the ATK of all "Death-Toy" monsters Sora controls by 400 for each "Furnimal" and "Death-Toy" monster he controls ("Tiger": 1900 → 4000/2000, "Sabre Tiger": 2400 → 4500/2000, "Bear": 2200 → 4300/1800). Yūya finds the Action Card "Flame Power". Yūya activates "Antithesis Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 3) and "Synthesis Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 8) in his left and right Pendulum Zones, respectively. He Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He activates the Pendulum Effect of "Antithesis Magician", giving "Dark Rebellion" a Level equal to its current 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). As it was Xyz Summoned using a Xyz Monster being treated as a Level 7 monster, the effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" activates, destroying all Level 7 or lower monsters his opponent controls and inflicting damage equal to the total ATK of those monsters to Sora. "Bear" and "Tiger" are destroyed as they are Level 6 monsters ("Sabre Tiger": 4500 → 2800), but Sora activates his face-down "Fusion Front Base", preventing him from taking effect damage while he controls a Fusion Monster. Yūya activates the other effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion", detaching an Overlay Unit to allow it to attack once for each monster that was destroyed this turn. "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" attacks "Sabre Tiger", but Sora activates his face-down Action Card "Flame Chain", reducing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" by 400 ("Odd-Eyes Rebellion": 3000 → 2600). Yūya activates the Action Card "Flame Power", increasing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" by 400 ("Odd-Eyes Rebellion": 2600 → 3000). Both players spring for the same Action Card, but the Duel is interrupted at this point as the Battle Royale's timer expires.

Tsukikage, Serena, Shun Kurosaki, Shingo Sawatari and Noboru Gongenzaka vs. Obelisk Force: Red, Green and Yellow
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 8: Shingo

Shingo draws "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel". Shingo activates "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian" (Right Pendulum Scale 8) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning "Abyss Actor - Big Star" (CG Star 7/2500/1800) from his hand. He activates its effect, adding an "Abyss Script" card from his Deck to his hand. Shingo adds "Abyss Script - Fantasy Magic" and subsequently activates it, targeting "Big Star". It allows Shingo to return a monster that "Big Star" attacks to the hand after damage calculation. "Big Star" attacks Yellow's "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" (Yellow: 2000 → 1500 LP), with it being returned to the Extra Deck. As an "Antique Gear" monster he controls left the field via his opponent's card effect, Yellow activates his face-down "Antique Gear Rebirth Fusion", letting him Fusion Summon a monster from his Extra Deck that lists that monster as a Fusion Material Monster. He Fusion Summons "Antique Gear Ultimate Hound Dog" (CG Star 9/2800/???). Since it was successfully Fusion Summoned, its effect activates, halving the LP of all his opponents (Tsukikage: 500 → 250 LP, Serena: 2400 → 1200 LP, Shingo: 2000 → 1000 LP, Shun: 4000 → 2000 LP).

Turn 9: Gongenzaka

Gongenzaka joins the Duel at this point, taking the 2000 LP intrusion penalty (Gongenzaka: 4000 → 2000 LP). Gongenzaka activates "Pendulum Statue Red Devil" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Pendulum Statue Black Sun" (Right Pendulum Scale 12) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning "Superheavy Samurai Courier" (CG Star 5/1200/1800) and two copies of "Superheavy Samurai Thief" (CG Star 10/1000/1000) from his hand. He activates the effect of one of his "Thief", Releasing it to add a Magic Card activated on the previous turn to his hand. He chooses Shingo's "Devil Heel". He activates the effect of the other "Thief", Releasing it to add Shingo's "Funky Comedian" to his hand. Gongenzaka activates the effect of his "Courier", Releasing it to give two cards in his hand to one of his opponents. He gives "Devil Heel" and "Funky Comedian" to Shun.

Turn 10: Shun

Shun activates "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian" (Right Pendulum Scale 8) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning three copies of "Raid Raptors - Wild Vulture" (CG Star 6/1600/2000) from his hand. Shun overlays his three Level 6 Winged Beast-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Revolution Falcon" (Rank Star 6/2000/3000/3 ORU). Shun activates the effect of "Revolution Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to allow it to attack each Special Summoned monster his opponent controls once each. "Revolution Falcon" attacks Yellow's "Ultimate Hound Dog", Red's "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and Green's "Triple Bite Hound Dog". The effect of "Revolution Falcon" reduces the ATK of all three Special Summoned monsters to 0 at the start of each Damage Step (Red: 2000 → 0 LP, Green: 2000 → 0 LP, Yellow: 1500 → 0 LP).

Reira Akaba vs. Tatsuya Yamashiro
Duel already in progress. Tatsuya has 1900 LP remaining, two cards in his hand and controls "Entermachine Gadget Giant" (CG Star 6/???/2000).

Reira's turn

Reira Xyz Summons "CCC Rock Armor the Embodiment of Heavy Armor" (Rank Star 6, 6/2500/2000/1 ORU). He activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to increase the ATK of "Rock Armor" by half of the combined DEF of all EARTH monsters on the field. As the combined total DEF is 4000, "Rock Armor" gains 2000 ATK ("Rock Armor": 2500 → 4500/2000). "Rock Armor" attacks "Gadget Giant", but Tatsuya activates its effect, which would destroy any Special Summoned monster that battles with it. However, the effect of "Rock Armor" negates the effect of EARTH monsters that it battles. The attack continues, destroying "Gadget Giant" (Tatsuya: 1900 → 0 LP).
