Serena vs. Yūgo
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 4: Serena

"Moonlight Panther Dancer" (CG Star 8/2800/2500) attacks "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000), but Yūgo activates his face-down "Dice Colosseum of Destiny", letting him target a monster and roll a die. If the result is an odd number, the target will be destroyed, but if the result is an even number, the target will gain 1000 ATK during damage calculation. He targets "Clear Wing" and rolls a 6 (2500 → 3500). Jean-Michel Roger orders the Duel lanes changed, allowing Serena to get an Action Card. She activates the Action Card "Miracle", halving the battle damage and preventing the destruction of "Panther Dancer" by battle (Serena 4000 → 3650). Serena Sets a card.

Turn 5: Yūgo

Yūgo Normal Summons "Speedroid Pachingo-Kart" (CG Star 4/1800/1000). As it was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, letting Yūgo target and destroy 1 monster on the field, but "Pachingo-Kart" may not attack this turn. He targets "Panther Dancer", but the effect of "Panther Dancer" prevents it from destroyed by the opponent's card effects. As a monster effect targeted a Level 5 or higher monster, Yūgo activates the effect of "Clear Wing", targeting that monster, negating its effects, destroying that monster and increasing the ATK of "Clear Wing" by that card's until the end of the turn. "Pachingo-Kart" is destroyed ("Clear Wing" 2500 → 4300). "Clear Wing" attacks "Panther Dancer", but Jean-Michel Roger orders the Duel lanes changed. Serena makes no attempt to grab the nearby Action Card, the attack continues and "Panther Dancer" is destroyed (Serena 3650 → 2150), with Yūgo grabbing said Action Card instead. As a "Moonlight" Fusion Monster she controlled was destroyed, Serena activates her face-down "Moonlight Reincarnation Dance", letting her add two "Moonlight" monsters from her Deck to her hand. She adds "Moonlight Tiger" and "Moonlight Wolf". Yūgo Sets a card.

Turn 6: Serena

Serena activates "Moonlight Wolf" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Moonlight Tiger" (Right Pendulum Scale 5) in her Pendulum Zones. Serena Pendulum Summons "Moonlight Black Sheep" (CG Star 2/100/600) and "Moonlight Purple Butterfly" (CG Star 3/1000/1000) from her hand in Attack Position. Serena activates the Pendulum Effect of "Tiger", letting her Special Summon a "Moonlight" Fusion Monster from her Graveyard once per turn, but its effects will be negated, it cannot attack and it will be destroyed during the End Phase. She Special Summons "Panther Dancer" (CG Star 8/2800/2500) in Attack Position. Serena then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Wolf", letting her Fusion Summon a "Moonlight" Fusion Monster from her Extra Deck once per turn by banishing its Fusion Materials from her hand or field. She banishes "Panther Dancer", "Black Sheep" and "Purple Butterfly" to Fusion Summon "Moonlight Lio Dancer" (CG Star 10/3500/3000) in Attack Position. "Lio Dancer" attacks "Clear Wing", but Yūgo activates the Action Card "From The Brink Of Defeat", letting him target a battling monster, increase its ATK by 800 during damage calculation and prevent its destruction by battle. He targets "Clear Wing" (2500 → 3300, Yūgo 1400 → 1200). After the attack, the effect of "Lio Dancer" activates, destroying all monsters the opponent controls. As an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster is activating an effect, Yūgo activates the effect of "Clear Wing", targeting that monster, negating its effects, destroying that monster and increasing the ATK of "Clear Wing" by that monster's ATK until the end of the turn. However, "Lio Dancer" cannot be targeted with or affected by the opponent's card effects. "Clear Wing" would be destroyed, but Yūgo activates his face-down Counter Trap Card, "Miracle Cool Mirror", letting him banish a card from his Graveyard that prevented the destruction of a monster, then target a monster he controls and prevent its destruction by battle or card effects this card. He banishes "From The Brink Of Defeat ", preventing the destruction of "Clear Wing". "Lio Dancer" may attack twice per Battle Phase, so it attacks "Clear Wing" (Yūgo 1200 → 200).

Turn 7: Yūgo

As he has less than 1000 LP, Yūgo activates the effect of the "Speedroid Den-Den Archduke" in his Graveyard, banishing it to Special Summon a Level 1 Tuner monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice" (CG Star 1/100/100) in Attack Position. Yūgo tunes the Level 1 "Red-Eyed Dice" with the Level 7 "Clear Wing" to Synchro Summon "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon" (CG Star 8/3000/2500) in Attack Position. "Crystal Wing" attacks "Lio Dancer", with Yūgo activating the effect of "Crystal Wing" as it is battling a Level 5 or higher monster, increasing the ATK of "Crystal Wing" by the ATK of that monster during damage calculation (3000 → 6500). The attack continues and "Lio Dancer" is destroyed (Serena 2150 → 0).
