Synopsis
Yūya is fighting in a qualifier Duel against Mieru Hōchun, a Fortune-Telling Duelist. He continues to desperately fight back and defend himself while trying to figure out her ominous prediction, but his strategies are shut down by Mieru, who can read the future, as he Duels against her in this Divination Duel, and ends up finding himself unable to make any moves at all. Mieru, who sees that Yūya's future will be terrible, urges him to surrender, but when Yūya, unable to do anything, draws a card...

Yūya Sakaki vs. Mieru Hōchun
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 7: Mieru

Mieru Sets a monster. Mieru activates the effect of "Holy Prediction Princess Tarotrei", letting her change all Reverse Monsters she controls to face-down Defense Position, but "Tarotrei" will not be able to attack this turn. She Reverses "Prediction Princess Petalelf" face-down.

Turn 8: Yūya

Yūya draws "Entermate Call" and switches "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" to Attack Position. Mieru activates the effect of "Tarotrei", letting her change all face-down Defense Position monsters she controls to Attack Position. She Reverses "Petalelf" (800/700) and "Prediction Princess Ouijamorrigan" (1300/0). Their Reverse Effects both activate. The effect of "Petalelf" switches all monsters Yūya controls to Defense Position and prevents them from changing their Display modes for the remainder of this turn. The effect of "Ouijamorrigan" will destroy all Defense Position monsters Yūya controls during the End Phase and inflict 200 damage to him per destroyed monster. Yūya Sets a card. During the End Phase, all of his monsters are destroyed via the effect of "Oujamorrigan" (Yūya 1300 → 300).

Turn 9: Mieru

Mieru activates the effect of "Tarotrei", switching both of her Reverse Monsters to face-down Defense Position. Yūya's Set card is shown to be "Entermate Call". She finds and activates the Action Card, "Draw Lock", which will prevent Yūya from drawing cards until he sends an Action Card from his hand to the Graveyard. Mieru Sets "Reverse Reuse".

Turn 10: Yūya

Yūya finds the Action Card, "Miracle". He sends it to the Graveyard, letting him draw during his Draw Phase. He draws "Fusion". Yūya Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes" (2500/2000) in Attack Position and "Entermate Kaleido Scorpion" (100/2300) and "Entermate Partnaga" (500/2100) in Defense Position from his Extra Deck. Mieru activates the effect of "Tarotrei", changing both of her face-down Defense Position monsters to Attack Position - "Petalelf" (700/800) and "Ouijamorrigan" (1300/0). The effect of "Petalelf" switches "Odd-Eyes" to Defense Position and prevents it from changing its Display mode this turn, while the effect of "Oujiamorrigan" will destroy all Defense Position monsters Yūya controls during the End Phase and inflict 200 damage for each. Yūya activates the effect of the "Entermate Springoose" in his Graveyard, banishing it to return two cards he controls to his hand. He returns "Timegazer Magician" and "Stargazer Magician". Yūya Releases "Kaleido Scorpion" to Advance Summon "Stargazer Magician" (1200/2400). Yūya activates "Fusion", fusing "Odd-Eyes" and "Stargazer Magician" to Fusion Summon "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (3000/2000) in Attack Position. As a Level 5 Magician-Type monster was used as its Fusion Material, the effect of "Rune-Eyes" lets it attack three times during each Battle Phase. "Rune-Eyes" attacks and destroys "Ouijamorrigan", "Petalelf" and "Tarotrei" (Meiru 4000 → 0).
