Episode 114

"The Neo Galaxy Shining in the Darkness" (闇に輝く超銀河, Yami ni Kagayaku Chō Ginga) is the one-hundredth and fourteenth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.

Synopsis
Yūshō and the others board the ship heading towards Academia. On the ship, a match between Kaito and Dennis begins. The two Duelists, who were both Yūshō's students, fight fiercely for what they believe in and the people they want to protect.

Kaito Tenjō vs. Dennis Macfield
Turn 1: Dennis

Dennis activates "Entermage Bubble Gardna" and "Entermage Candy Craftsman" in his Pendulum Zones. He Pendulum Summons "Entermage Hat Tricker" (1100/1100) and "Entermage Flame Eater" (1200/1600) in Attack Position. Dennis overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Entermage Trapeze Magician" (2500/2000) in Attack Position.

Turn 2: Kaito

As his opponent controls a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and he controls no monsters, Kaito Special Summons "Cipher Twin Raptor" (1600/800) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Kaito Normal Summons "Cipher Wing" (1400/1200). He activates its effect, Releasing it to increase the Levels of all "Cipher" monsters he controls by 4 ("Twin Raptor" 4 → 8). "Twin Raptor" can be treated as two Overlay Units for an Xyz Summon, so Kaito overlays his 1 Level 8 monster treated as 2 to Xyz Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Cipher Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to take control of an opponent's monster until the End Phase. That monster's name will be treated as "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon", but it cannot attack directly. Kaito takes control of "Trapeze Magician". "Cipher Dragon" attacks directly, but Dennis activates the effect of the "Entermage String Figure" in his hand, Special Summoning it (0/0) in Attack Position, with it becoming the new attack target. "String Figure" cannot be destroyed by battle and Dennis takes no battle damage. As a monster that Kaito controls have higher ATK than the total ATK of all "Entermage" monsters Dennis controls, Dennis activates the Pendulum Effect of "Candy Craftsman", gaining 1000 LP (Dennis: 4000 → 5000). Kaito Sets a card.

Turn 3: Dennis

Dennis Normal Summons "Entermage Damage Juggler" (1500/1500). He then activates the effect of "String Figure" to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster using monsters he controls. Dennis fuses "Damage Juggler" and "String Figure" on his field to Fusion Summon "Entermage Trapeze Force Witch" (2400/1800). Dennis activates the effect of "Trapeze Magician" twice, detaching an Overlay Unit to let a monster he controls attack twice during the same Battle Phase this turn. Dennis targets "Trapeze Magician" and "Force Witch". Kaito activates his face-down "Cipher Deterrent", which prevents a "Cipher" monster he controls from being destroyed by battle this turn, and if it battles this turn, its ATK will be doubled during the End Phase. "Trapeze Magician" attacks "Cipher Dragon" twice. Dennis activates the effect of "Force Witch", as a "Entermage" monster attacked an opponent's monster. Dennis can decrease the attacked monster's ATK by 600 ("Cipher Dragon": 3000 → 2400 → 1800, Kaito 4000 → 3900 → 3200). "Force Witch" attacks "Cipher Dragon" twice ("Cipher Dragon": 1800 → 1200 → 600, Kaito 3200 → 2000 → 200). At the End Phase, "Cipher Deterrent" doubles the ATK of "Cipher Dragon" ("Cipher Dragon" 600 → 1200).

Turn 4: Kaito

Kaito draws and subsequently Normal Summons "Little Fairy" (800/800). He activates the effect of "Little Fairy", sending a card from his hand to the Graveyard to increase its Level by 1. He sends "Cipher Stranger" (3 → 4). As "Cipher Stranger" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, letting Kaito add a "Rank-Up-Magic" card from his Main Deck to his hand. Kaito adds "Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Ascension". He activates "Cipher Ascension", allowing him to Rank-Up a "Cipher" Xyz Monster he controls by using it as the Overlay Unit for a "Cipher" Xyz Monster 1 Rank higher than it. Kaito overlays "Cipher Dragon", performing an Rank-Up Xyz Change to Xyz Summon "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" (4500/3000) in Attack Position. The other effect of "Cipher Ascension" increase the ATK of the Summoned monster by 500 for each Level 4 or higher monster Kite controls ("Neo Cipher Dragon" 4500 → 5000). Kaito activates the effect of "Neo Cipher Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to gain control of all monsters his opponent controls and treat them as "Neo Cipher", but their effects will be negated and they cannot attack this turn. Kaito takes control of "Trapeze Magician" and "Force Witch". Kaito activates "Cipher Interfere". "Neo Cipher Dragon" attacks directly, with "Cipher Interfere" doubling its ATK, as he controls another "Cipher" monster with the same name. ("Neo Cipher Dragon": 5000 → 10000, Dennis: 5000 → 0).
