Summary
Yūya faces one of the Leo Corporation agents, Shun, in a midair Duel.

Featured Duel: Yūya Sakaki vs. Shun Kurosaki
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Aerial Birdcage" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel.

Turn 1: Shun

Yūya attempts to catch an Action Card, but Shun Normal Summons "Raid Raptors - Napalm Dragonius" (★ 4/1000/1000) and activates its effect to inflict 600 damage to Yūya (Yūya: 4000 → 3400). With that, Shun prevents Yūya from getting the Action Card and obtains it himself instead. He Sets 1 card.

Turn 2: Yūya

Yūya gets an Action Card, but Shun activates the Action Card he had obtained earlier, "Sky Fall", destroying Yūya's Action Card and inflicting 300 damage (Yūya: 3400 → 3100). Yūya Normal Summons "Entermate Uni (★ 4/800/1500) and activates her effect, Special Summoning "Entermate Corn" (★ 3, 3/600/1000). Since he controls both "Uni" and "Corn", Yūya activates the latter's effect, switching both to Defense Position to add "Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon" (★ 3/1200/600) from his Deck to his hand. Yūya places "Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon" and "Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon" (★ 5/1200/2400) in his Pendulum Zones, allowing him to Pendulum Summon "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" (★ 7/2500/2000). "Phantom Dragon" launches an attack on "Napalm Dragonius", but Shun activates his face-down "Raid Raptors Replica", creating a copy of "Napalm Dragonius" that takes the attack instead (Shun: 4000 → 2500). Since "Phantom Dragon" inflicted battle damage during the turn it was Pendulum Summoned, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Shun equal to the combined ATK of the "Mirage" and "Persona" Dragons in his Pendulum Zones (Shun: 2500 → 100).

Duel continues in the next Scale.
