Summary
Yūya bursts out of the rubble to see that the Duelist that he encountered is gone. He rises to his feet and reflects on the Commander-in-chief.

Elsewhere, Allen and Sayaka get over a rise to see Kaito facing off against three Academia Duelists, two in red jackets and one in yellow. Allen states that Kaito is there and tells Sayaka to come with him. Although the three Duelists all control "Antique Gear Soldier", Kaito has his "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" and two other monsters that he has treated as "Galaxy-Eyes" with its effect. Sayaka whispers his name sadly, and Allen heads off down the slope, but Sayaka hesitates. Allen asks her what's wrong; doesn't she want to bring their comrade back? Sayaka eventually follows Allen after Kaito. Kaito attacks the Academia Duelists with his three "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragons", wiping them out. Allen yells Kaito's name and explains that they've been searching for him. Kaito warns them not to get in his way and reminds them that he's already cut ties with them. He walks up to the Academia students and Allen whispers his name sadly. The yellow-jacketed student begs Kaito to spare them, but Kaito simply asks them if they are ready to repent. Sayaka flinches in horror as Kaito seals the three Duelists into cards. Sayaka turns away as Kaito begins to leave without a word. Allen tells him to hold up and not to be so stubborn and come back with them as he pointed out how worry Sayaka is. But Kaito continues to ignore both of them. Shun stops him from leaving, much to Allen and Sayaka's shock. Kaito knocks Shun's hand aside and warns him that if he gets in Kaito's way, then he'll turn Shun into a card as well before activating his Duel Disk. Shun tells Kaito to go ahead and try and Duel him, before activating his own Duel Disk. Shuns, "Field Magic: Cross Over", suffusing the area with blue and materializing the blue platforms, before scattering the Action Cards. Allen tells them to wait, and Gongenzaka and Shingo join them, Gongenzaka admonishing the two for Dueling when they are comrades. But neither Duelist is willing to back down, and Shingo comments that it looks like the only thing that they can do is wait as Sayaka hides behind a ruined wall. Both Duelists cry, "Duel!" Shun declares that he'll go first and he Summons "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius". He activates its effect since it was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, allowing him to Special Summon another copy from his hand. Shun explains that the effect of the "Raid Raptors - Retrofit Lanius" in his hand allows him to treat it as the same name as another "Raid Raptors" monster he controls, allowing him to treat it as "Vanishing Lanius" and Special Summon it with the effect of the "Vanishing Lanius" he controls. "Retrofit Lanius" appears, an image of "Vanishing Lanius" briefly flickering over its form.He explains that "Retrofit Lanius" can also be treated as two Xyz Materials and he overlays the Level 4 "Vanishing Lanius" and "Retrofit Lanius", chants, "Obscured falcon. Raise your talons sharpened by adversity. Spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank 4! Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon!" Kaito angrily asks if Shun took the first move just to make that disgraceful misplay, pointing out that the effect of "Rise Falcon" can only be activated while the opponent controls Special Summoned monsters, but Kaito controls none and Shun cannot even attack, so even if Shun Summons it now, he's just going to lose it and gain nothing. Shun challenges Kaito to try and take it down if he can, activating the Continuous Magic Card "Raptor's Intercept Form", which will allow him to twice the ATK and DEF of an Xyz Summoned "Raid Raptors" monster once per turn during his opponent's turn, which will increase the ATK of "Rise Falcon" to 2000. He Sets two cards and ends his turn.

Kaito declares his turn and he draws a card. He explains that since he controls no monsters and his opponent controls a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, he can Special Summon "Cipher Twin Raptor" from his hand. Then he Normal Summons "Cipher Wing" and Releases it to increase the Levels of all "Cipher" monsters he controls by 4. "Cipher Twin Raptor" increases to Level 8 and Kaito explains that it can also be treated as two Xyz Materials, before overlaying his Level 8 "Cipher Twin Raptor". He chants, "Galaxy shining in the darkness, embody the demon of revenge and become my very servant! Xyz Summon! Descend! Rank 8! Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!" Shingo observes that against the 3000 ATK "Galaxy-Eyes", even if Shun boosts the ATK of "Rise Falcon" to 2000 with his Continuous Magic Card he won't stand a chance. Gongenzaka adds that "Galaxy-Eyes" also has its "Cipher Projection" effect that it used to defeat them. Kaito proceeds to do just that, detaching an Overlay Unit from "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" to activate its effect, taking control of a monster his opponent controls with its effects negated. He declares "Cipher Projection" and "Galaxy-Eyes" releases waves of light from its wings, suffusing "Rise Falcon" in light.

Shun activates another effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form", allowing him to negate a card effect that targets an Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors" once per turn. Kaito just declares his Battle Phase and attacks "Rise Falcon" with "Cipher Dragon's" "Cipher Stream of Annihilation". Shun takes off running as the attack connects and he reminds Kaito that due to the effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form" he can switch the ATK and DEF of "Rise Falcon". The ATK of "Rise Falcon" increases to 2000, but Allen gasps that this isn't good, since "Rise Falcon" will still be destroyed. But Shun leaps up several platforms and he activates the Action Magic "Miracle", preventing the destruction of "Rise Falcon" and halving the damage. His LP falls to 3500, and he explains that since the battle has ended, the ATK of "Rise Falcon" returns to normal. Allen asks what an Action Magic is and Shingo explains that the Action Cards that are scattered through the field can be used to assist you, which is how the Lancers fight. Kaito appears angered that Shun used an Action Card, but Shun doesn't respond. Kaito Sets two cards and ends his turn. He coldly comments that Shun was planning to use the Action Cards all along. Shun asks what Kaito means by that, and Kaito replies that Shun has become a coward. Shun retorts that Kaito can say that after he beats Shun.

He declares his turn and draws "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force", which he immediately activates, using "Rise Falcon" as Xyz Material to Xyz Summon a "Raid Raptors" monster one Rank higher. He chants, "Rank-Up Xyz Change! Appear now! Rank 5! Raid Raptors - Blaze Falcon!" He activates the effect of "Blaze Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy all Special Summoned monsters his opponent controls and then inflict 500 damage for each. "Blaze Falcon" releases its probes to fire green lasers at "Galaxy-Eyes", but Kaito activates a Trap Card, "Cipher Bit", preventing his "Cipher" monster's destruction and then attaching itself to that monster as an Overlay Unit. Shingo is shocked and Gongenzaka gasps that Kaito not only prevented his monster's destruction, but he also turned his Trap Card into an Overlay Unit. Allen praises Kaito, noting that he must have become stronger while fighting by himself. But the mere fact that Kaito has been on his own saddens Sayaka. Shun attacks, explaining that "Blaze Falcon" can attack directly, and "Blaze Falcon" swoops in, sending up a cloud of smoke that Yūya sees from around the corner. He wonders what it is and Yūto wonders if it's Academia. The force of the attack drives Kaito to his knees and reduces him to 3000 LP. Shun states that "Blaze Falcon can also destroy a monster his opponent controls when it inflicts battle damage, and "Blaze Falcon" launches its gas-powered missiles, destroying "Galaxy-Eyes".

Shun reassures Kaito that he knows how painful it is to lose one's family, since Shun himself could only think about annihilating Academia after Ruri was kidnapped. Kaito angrily asks what Shun could know and activates another Trap Card, "Cipher Spectrum" since a "Cipher" Xyz Monster was destroyed while it had Overlay Units. He can Special Summon that monster and then another copy of it from his Extra Deck. Two "Cipher Dragons" appear and roar. Shun ends his turn and Shingo laments that Kaito Summoned another "Cipher Dragon" just when they thought they'd destroyed it. Shun declares that even if they are knocked down they will continue to crawl back up and fight again alongside their comrades, and that is the spirit of the Resistance. He tells Kaito that he hasn't forgotten that spirit. Kaito doesn't respond, and Allen muses, "Alongside our comrades…"

Yūya runs up and tells Shun and Kaito to stop it. Gongenzaka and Shingo are surprised to see Yūya, and Yūya stops in between Shun and Kaito, asking them why they are fighting when they're comrades. Allen tells Yūya to stay out of it since he's an outsider, much to Yūya's protest. Kaito comments that Shun said comrades, didn't he? Yūya turns to Shun in surprise, and Kaito explains that "Galaxy-Eyes" is part of him, so he doesn't need something stupid like comrades. Right now, the only one that he can rely on is himself. He declares his turn and draws. Shun calls Yūya's name and Yūto tells Yūya that they'll have to leave this to Shun. Kaito declares his Battle Phase, attacking "Blaze Falcon" with one of his "Cipher Dragon's" "Cipher Stream of Annihilation". Shun activates the effect of "Raptor's Intercept Force", switching the ATK and DEF of "Blaze Falcon". The attack strikes as the ATK of "Blaze Falcon" rises to 2000, and Shun also activates a Continuous Trap Card, "Overlay Breast Armor", allowing him to prevent the destruction of his Xyz Monster by detaching one of its Overlay Units. The shock of the damage flings Shun sideways and his LP falls to 2500. He explains that the ATK of "Blaze Falcon" returns to normal after damage calculation. Shingo admits that this is getting pretty nervewracking and Gongenzaka urges Shun to stick it out until the very end. Shun gets to his feet and states that he went to the Standard Dimension without telling anyone, and Yūto followed him. It's because of comrades like Yūto that Shun is standing here right now. Yūto mutters Shun's name. Kaito snaps that he already told Shun to shut up. When Shun doesn't respond, Kaito attacks "Blaze Falcon" with his other "Cipher Dragon", declaring "Cipher Stream of Annihilation". Shun activates the effect of "Overlay Breast Armour", detaching the remaining Overlay Unit to prevent "Blaze Falcon's" destruction. Kaito warns him that he'll still take the damage, and Shun is blasted across the ground, his LP falling to 500 much to the other Lancers' and Sayaka's horror. Kaito Sets a card and he ends his turn.

The smoke clears to show Shun kneeling by a precipice; the wall that saved his life now crumbled behind him. Kaito notes that even if Shun managed to protect "Blaze Falcon" its wings are already clipped. Allen glumly notes that "Blaze Falcon" only has 1000 ATK, and Shun has already used all of its Overlay Units. Gongenzaka adds that Shun has no cards in his hand and only 500 LP and Shingo wonders what more he can do. Shun declares that even if he's cornered and pushed to the brink of defeat he will never give in; not just for his own sake, but Kaito's as well. Kaito angrily notes that Shun has been driven into a corner and he still hasn't given up. Shun declares that he won't give up until he can make Kaito listen to him and he walks forwards. Yūto admits that this is the first time that he's seen Shun like this, much to Yūya's surprise. Yūto explains that Shun is trying to deliver his own words to Kaito through a Duel. Shun returns to his place opposite Kaito, and he declares that his true Duel with Kaito starts now. He'll make sure that Kaito knows the right path to walk on.

He declares his turn and draws as he sprints forwards. Kaito observes that Shun is relying on Action Cards again and asks how Shun can make Kaito know anything if all he can do is rely on the power of outsiders. Shun yells that the Lancers are not outsiders, but his comrades, and Action Cards are the power of his comrades. Kaito asks, "Power of your comrades?" and Shun declares that he will believe in the power of his comrades and fight. He leaps up several platforms and he declares his Battle Phase, attacking "Cipher Dragon" with "Blaze Falcon". Allen tells him not to be reckless; the ATK of "Cipher Dragon" is 3000. Shun insists that he can overcome it as he snatches up an Action Card and leaps from a platform. He has other comrades besides Yūto. He remembers Gongenzaka, Shingo, Tsukikage and Serena assisting him, lands on a platform, and he activates the card; the Action Magic "Attack Force", before taking off again. Shingo explains that "Attack Force" increases the ATK of a battling monster whose ATK is lower than that of the opposing monster by 600. "Blaze Falcon" rises to 1600 ATK and Shun leaps from another platform with an Action Card in hand, declaring that he's formed a strong bond with another comrade in the Synchro Dimension as well as he remembers Crow. He lands and activates the Action Magic "High Dive" and runs off again. "Blaze Falcon" soars into the air and Gongenzaka explains that "High Dive" will increase the ATK of a monster by 1000 until the end of the turn and the ATK of "Blaze Falcon" increases to 2600. Shun declares that there are allies in the other dimensions, and by meeting them he's learned how important his comrades are. Sayaka whispers, "Comrades" and she remembers sitting alone on a swing, and then being with Yūshō Sakaki and enjoying herself with Ruri. She begins sobbing, much to Allen's shock. Shun grabs another Action Card and Shingo cheers that he did it. Shun lands, and looks at the card—

— "What?" he gasps in shock. "Blaze Falcon" crashes into "Galaxy-Eyes" and is destroyed, and Shun falls to 100 LP. Kaito muses that it seems like Shun wasn't able to overcome it and Shun gets to his feet and looks at his Action Card in full view of everyone else. Shingo recognizes it as "Flight" and Gongenzaka explains that it can only be used when the player is attacked. Shingo curses, realizing that's why "Blaze Falcon" was destroyed.

Kaito remarks that Shun stated that Action Cards were the power of his comrades, but as Shun seeks that out, he will eventually lose his wings. Shun closes his eyes stoically. Kaito continues that when people lose the comrades they trust, they will be inflicted with an unbearable sorrow. In the end they are nothing more than a hindrance. Shun declares that he will fight alongside his comrades because he doesn't want to lose them, and he will also shoulder the wishes of the people that he's lost. He activates the Quick-Play Magic Card, "Rank-Up-Magic Death Double Force", Special Summoning the "Blaze Falcon" that was destroyed in battle and use it as Material to Xyz Summon a "Raid Raptors" that is double its Rank. He chants, "Ultimate and supreme falcon. Carry on the wishes of your fallen friends. Fly off to the sky of victory! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Appear now! Rank 10! Raid Raptors - Ultimate Falcon !" Kaito observes in surprise that the 3500 ATK "Ultimate Falcon" has higher ATK than "Cipher Dragon". Shun activates a Trap Card, "Ultimate Full Burst", allowing an Xyz Monster that has been Ranked-Up during the Battle Phase to activate its effect by detaching Overlay Units; and in addition it will be able to attack all of his opponent's monsters. He detaches the Overlay Unit from "Ultimate Falcon", negating the effects of all cards his opponent controls and reducing the ATK of all monsters they control by 1000. Both "Cipher Dragons" fall to 2000 ATK, and Shun attacks one of them with "Ultimate Falcon's" "Final Glorious Pride" attack, destroying it and reducing Kaito to 1500 LP. Shingo cheers the attack and Gongenzaka declares that the next attack will end the match. Shun declares that this is the power of those who believe in their comrades, and Kaito is their comrade as well. Kaito doesn't react, but he appears to recall himself and Shun being surrounded by children, and Yūshō Sakaki among them with a child on his shoulder.

Yūto declares that he remembers his time at Duel School. Yūya speaks in unison with him, stating that back then the children would always gather around when Kaito and Shun Dueled one another. Gongenzaka, Shingo, Allen and Sayaka all look at Yūya as he muses that all the children looked up to Shun and Kaito. Sayaka gasps and Allen asks how Yūya knows something like that. Yūya places his hand on his chest and he explains that Yūto is residing inside him, much to Sayaka and Shingo's surprise. Gongenzaka asks what Yūya means. Shun simply glances at Yūya and addresses Yūto, commenting that he was close by after all, admitting that he had a hunch about that. Yūto smiles and nods at his best friend and Shun returns the gesture. Shun turns back to Kaito and declares that this is the end, ordering another "Final Glorious Pride" attack from "Ultimate Falcon".

But the visions of smiling children that Kaito sees are replaced by flames and the cards that they were sealed in floating in the air. Kaito activates the effect of the "Cipher Mirror Knight" in his hand, sending it and a card on his field to the Graveyard to Special Summon the destroyed "Cipher Dragon" from his Graveyard. He explains that the card that he sent to the Graveyard was "Cipher Clone Magic", which allows him to send a Continuous Magic Card from his Deck to the Graveyard and activate its effect. He sends "Cipher Interfere" to the Graveyard, and reminds Shun that due to the effect of "Cipher Interfere" he can double the ATK of a "Cipher" monster he controls when he controls at least two "Cipher" monsters with the same name. He doubles the ATK of the "Cipher Dragon" that Shun attacked to 4000, and Kaito reminds Shun that the effect of "Ultimate Full Burst" will force him to attack all of Kaito's monsters, including the "Cipher Dragon" with higher ATK. The black hole surges towards "Cipher Dragon", and it swats the blast with its tail back at "Ultimate Falcon", destroying it. Shun is blasted backwards and his LP is reduced to zero. Yūya and Allen gasp in shock at Shun's defeat as Shingo, Gongenzaka and Sayaka watch in horror. Shun opens his eyes in pain as the Action Field dissipates.

Kaito walks up to Shun and he asks him if he is ready to repent. He readies his Duel Disk and Yūya begs him to stop. But it's Sayaka's plea for Kaito to stop that stops him in the tracks. Everyone turns to look at Sayaka as she falls to her knees and sobs into her hands, begging Kaito to spare Shun. They can't lose Shun too, not after losing Ruri. Allen reassures Sayaka that it wasn't her fault, but Sayaka insists that it was. She remembers seeing Ruri facing off against Yūri, who told Ruri that if he won their Duel she had to do what he said. Sayaka hid behind a wall as Yūri activated his "Violet Flash" Magic Card, blinding the girls with a bright light. Sayaka laments that it's because she was a coward back then that Ruri was kidnapped and everyone looks at her in shock. But Kaito raises his hand, his fingers hovering above the command that will transfer Shun into a card, everyone gasps and Sayaka continues to cries. Kaito thinks for a moment before he removes his fingers from his Duel Disk and then walking away. Shun and Sayaka stare after him and Yūya whispers Kaito's name. As Kaito walks away a cloud of dust obscures him from view.

Academia Duelists vs. Kaito Tenjō
Duel is shown from an unspecified turn. Kaito controls "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon " and two unknown monsters both being treated as "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon", via the effect of the original one. The 3 Academia duelists control three copies of "Antique Gear Soldier". The "Cipher Dragon"'s attack all three "Antique Gear Soldier"'s (Academia Students: ??? → 0 LP).

Shun Kurosaki vs. Kaito Tenjō
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Cross Over" 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: Shun Shun Normal Summons "Raid Raptors - Vanishing Lanius" (1300/1600). As it was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, he activates its effect, which lets him Special Summon a second copy of "Vanishing Lanius" from his hand in Attack Position. He then uses the effect of "Raid Raptors - Retrofit Lanius" (800/1200) in his hand, allowing him to make its Level and name the same as another "Raid Raptors" monster he controls until the End Phase. Shun overlays "Vanishing Lanius" and "Retrofit Lanius" to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon" (100/2000) in Attack Positon. He activates "Raptor's Intercept Form" and Sets two cards.

Turn 2: Kaito Since Shun controls a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and Kaito doesn't control any monsters, Kaito Special Summons "Cipher Twin Raptor" (1600/800) in Attack Position. He Normal Summons "Cipher Wing" (1400/1200). Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Wing", Releasing it to increase the Levels of all "Cipher" monsters he controls by 4 ("Cipher Twin Raptor": CG Star 4 → 8). The effect of "Twin Raptor" allows Kaito to treat it as two Overlay Units for an Xyz Summon. Kaito overlays his Level 8 "Cipher Twin Raptor", which is treated as two monsters, to Xyz Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to take control of a monster his opponent controls until the End Phase. That monster's effects will be negated and it will be unable to attack directly, but its name and ATK will become the same as that of "Cipher Dragon". He targets "Rise Falcon", but Shun activates the effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form", which lets him negate an effect that targets a "Raid Raptors" monster controls once per turn. "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Rise Falcon", but Shun activates the other effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form", allowing him to switch the ATK and DEF of the attacked monster during damage calculation ("Rise Falcon": 100 → 2000/2000 → 100). Shun finds and activates the Action Card, "Miracle", preventing his monster's destruction by battle and halving the battle damage (Shun: 4000 → 3500 LP). Kaito Sets two cards.

Turn 3: Shun

Shun draws and subsequently activates "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force", Ranking Up his "Rise Falcon" and performing a Rank-Up Xyz Change to Special Summon "Raid Raptors - Blaze Falcon" in Attack Position (1000/2000). Shun activates the effect of "Blaze Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy all monsters Kaito controls and inflict 1000 damage for each monster destroyed. As his "Cipher" Xyz Monster would be destroyed, Kaito activates his face-down "Cipher Bit" to prevent his monster's destruction and attach "Cipher Bit" to it as an Overlay Unit. The other effect of "Blaze Falcon" lets it attack directly (Kaito 4000 → 3000). As "Blaze Falcon" inflicted battle damage to his opponent, Shun can destroy a monster his opponent controls. "Blaze Falcon" destroys "Cipher Dragon". Kaito activates his face-down "Cipher Spectrum" as a "Cipher" Xyz Monster was destroyed while it had Overlay Units attached. He can Special Summon that monster from the Graveyard, then Special Summon a second copy of the original monster from the Extra Deck ignoring the Summoning conditions. Kaito Special Summons "Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500) and Special Summons another one from the Extra Deck (3000/2500).

Turn 4: Kaito

A "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Blaze Falcon", but Kaito activates the effect of "Raptor's Intercept Form" to switch his monster's ATK and DEF ("Blaze Falcon": 1000 → 2000/2000 → 1000). Shun activates his face-down "Overlay Breast Armor", which lets him prevent his "Raid Raptors" monster's destruction by battle by detaching one of its Overlay Units instead (Shun: 3500 → 2500). The second "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Blaze Falcon", but Shun uses the effect of "Overlay Breast Armor" to prevent its destruction (Shun 2500 → 500). Kaito Sets a card.

Turn 5: Shun "Blaze Falcon" attacks a "Cipher Dragon". Shun finds and subsequently activates the Action Card "Attack Force". Since "Blaze Falcon" is battling with a monster with higher ATK, it gains 600 during damage calculation only. Shun finds and activates the Action Card "High Dive", increasing the ATK of "Blaze Falcon" by 1000. Shun finds the Action Card "Flight", but since it is only able to be activated when Shun's monster is attacked, he is unable to activate it. The attack continues and "Blaze Falcon" is destroyed (Shun: 500 → 100). Shun activates the Quick-Play Magic Card "Rank-Up-Magic Death Double Force" which allows him to Special Summon a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster that was destroyed by battle from his Graveyard, then Xyz Summon a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster with double the Summoned monster's Rank by using that monster as the Overlay Unit. He Special Summons "Blaze Falcon" and Ranks it Up while performing a Rank-Up Xyz Change to Special Summon "Raid Raptors - Ultimate Falcon". Shun activates his face-down "Ultimate Full Burst" which allows him to activate the effects of "Ultimate Falcon" which require him to detach Overlay Units, then it must attack all of Kaito's monsters once each. However, "Ultimate Falcon" will be destroyed during the End Phase. Shun activates the effect of "Ultimate Falcon" which negates the effects off all off Kaito's cards and decreases the ATK of Kaito's monsters by 1000. "Ultimate Falcon" attacks and destroys a "Cipher Dragon" (Kaito 3000 → 1500). "Ultimate Falcon" attacks the other "Cipher Dragon", but Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Mirror Knight" from his hand, as a "Cipher" monster he controlled was destroyed by battle. Kaito can send it and a card ("Cipher Clone Magic") he controls to the Graveyard to Special Summon the destroyed monster from his Graveyard. Kaito Special Summons the first "Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500). As "Cipher Clone Magic" was sent from his field to the Graveyard, Kaito activates its effect to send a Continuous Magic Card from his Deck to the graveyard and apply its effects. Kaito sends "Cipher Interfere" to the Graveyard and activates its effect, which doubles the ATK of the attacked monster if he also controls a second copy of that monster ("Cipher Dragon": 2000 → 4000). The attack continues and "Ultimate Falcon" is destroyed (Shun: 100 → 0).
