Episode 27

"Opening!! Maiami Championship" (開幕！！舞網チャンピオンシップ Kaimaku!! Maiami Chanpionshippu), known as "Challengers Assemble" in the Dub version, is the twenty-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
Finally, the Maiami Championship begins! Fellow Duelists from all around the world gather here for a showdown!! Yuzu and pals from You Show Duel School, while nervous, move into the venue with anticipation, however, Yūya has yet to show up. Furthermore taking the lead to enter the Championship venue is the Leo Duel School spearheaded by Reiji. For that matter, Duelists whom Yūya have met, such as Shingo, Masumi, Hokuto and Yaiba, are present in such competition. At such time also, a mysterious man appears, sparking an uproar surrounding Yūya!

Futoshi Harada vs. Takeshi Shimizu
Duel is shown from an unspecified turn. Futoshi controls "Sketch Beast - Stego" in Attack Position and has 900 Life Points, while his opponent Takeshi controls "Red Mask" in Attack Position and has 2200 Life Points.

Takeshi's turn

"Red Mask" attacks "Sketch Beast - Stego", but Futoshi activates his face-down "Sketchbook - Blocking the Way", which allows him to negate an attack when he controls a "Sketch" monster.

Futoshi's turn

Futoshi draws "Sketch Beast - Tyrano" (2400/1200). He Releases "Stego" to Advance Summon "Tyrano" with one Release. As it was successfully Advance Summoned, Futoshi activates its effect, destroying a monster his opponent controls and increasing the ATK of "Tyrano" by half the ATK of the destroyed monser until the End Phase. "Red Mask" is destroyed ("Tyrano" 2400 → 3200). "Tyrano" attacks Takeshi directly (Takeshi 2200 → 0).
