Sora's monsters are all destroyed by Shun's "Raid Raptors". Even though he Summoned an all new Fusion Monster, Shun's strategies are still one step ahead of him. As each of his monsters are destroyed consecutively, Sora starts to look more and more anxious... Eventually Sora reveals his true abilities, something which Yūya and the gang have never seen before. And his true self is!?

Sora Shiun'in vs. Shun Kurosaki

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 5: Sora

Sora Normal Summons "Edge Imp Saw" (CG Star 3/500/1000). As it was Normal Summoned this turn, he activates its effect, which allows him to send a "Furnimal" monster from his hand to the Graveyard to draw two cards. Sora sends "Furnimal Sheep" and draws "Edge Imp Chain" and "Fusion Conscription". He then activates "Fusion Conscription", which allows him to reveal a Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck and add one of the Fusion Materials listed on that card from his Deck or Graveyard to his hand, but that monster cannot be Normal or Special Summoned. He adds "Furnimal Lio" via this effect. Sora activates the Permanent Magic Card "Death-Toy Factory", which allows him to banish a "Fusion" card from his Graveyard and then Fusion Summon a "Furnimal" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck by using monsters from his hand or his side of the field as Fusion Materials once per turn. He banishes "Fusion" to fuse the "Edge Imp Saw" on his field with the "Furnimal Lio" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio" (CG Star 7/2400/2000) in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio", which lets him destroy an opponent's monster and inflict damage to his opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK. Shun finds and activates the Action Card, "Mirror Barrier", preventing "Rise Falcon" from being destroyed by his opponent's card effects. "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio" attacks "Rise Falcon", but Shun activates his face-down "Adversity", as a monster he controls was targeted for an attack and it has less ATK than the attacking monster. That attacked monster cannot destroyed by that battle, Shun takes no battle damage from that battle and the attacked monster gains 1000 ATK ("Rise Falcon" 100 → 1100).

Turn 6: Shun

Shun activates the effect of "Rise Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to increase its ATK by the total ATK of all Special Summoned monsters his opponents controls until the end of this turn ("Rise Falcon" 1100 → 3500). "Rise Falcon" attacks "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio" but Sora finds and activates the Action Card, "Evasion", which would negate the attack. Shun activates his face-down "Raptor's Storm", which negates the activation of his opponent's Magic/Trap Card while he controls a "Raid Raptors" monster. "Evasion" is negated, so the attack continues and "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio" is destroyed (Sora: 3400 → 2300). Shun Sets two cards.

Turn 7: Sora

Sora activates "Suture Rebirth", which allows him to Special Summon a "Furnimal" monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Furnimal Sheep" in Defense Position. He activates the effect of "Death-Toy Factory", banishing "Fusion Conscription" from his Graveyard to fuse the "Furnimal Sheep" on his field with the "Edge Imp Chain" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Chain Sheep" (CG Star 5/2000/2000) in Attack Position. Its effect negates the activation of his opponents Magic/Trap Cards until the end of the Battle Phase during a turn in which it declares an attack. "Death-Toy Chain Sheep" attacks and destroys "Rise Falcon" (Shun: 3100 → 2200). Shun activates his face-down "Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force", which allows him to Special Summon an Xyz Monster that was destroyed by battle this turn from the Graveyard, then Xyz Summon a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster he controls, by using it as the Overlay Unit. He Special Summons "Rise Falcon" and performs an Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Blaze Falcon" (Rank Star 5/1000/2000/1 ORU) in Attack Position.

Turn 8: Shun

Shun activates the effect of "Blaze Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy as many Special Summoned monsters his opponent controls as possible, and then inflict 500 damage to his opponent for each monster destroyed by this effect. Sora activates his face-down "Death-Toy Backup", whose effect allows him to negate the destruction of a "Death-Toy" monster he controls either by battle or card effect and have it gain 800 ATK ("Death-Toy Chain Sheep" 2000 → 2800). The other effect of "Blaze Falcon" lets it attack directly (Sora: 2300 → 1300). As "Blaze Falcon" inflicted battle damage to his opponent, Shun can destroy a monster his opponent controls. Sora finds and activates the Action Card, "Mirror Barrier" to prevent his monster's destruction, but Shun activates his face-down "Raptor's Gust", which allows him to negate the activation of his opponent's Magic Card and destroy it while he controls a "Raid Raptors" monster. Thus, "Mirror Barrier" is negated and destroyed, and the effect of "Blaze Falcon" destroys "Death-Toy Chain Sheep". Shun Sets a card.

Turn 9: Sora

Sora activates "Death-Toy Fusion", which allows him to Fusion Summon a "Death-Toy Fusion" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck by banishing monsters on his side of the field or Graveyard as Fusion Materials. He banishes "Death-Toy Scissors Bear", "Death-Toy Wheel Saw Lio" and "Death-Toy Chain Sheep" from his Graveyard to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Mad Chimera" (CG Star 8/2800/2000) in Attack Position. "Death-Toy Mad Chimera" attacks and destroys "Blaze Falcon" (Shun: 2200 → 400). As it destroyed an opponent's monster by battle and sent it to the Graveyard, the effect of "Death-Toy Mad Chimera" lets Sora Special Summon that destroyed "Blaze Falcon" to his side of the field. "Death-Toy Mad Chimera" gains 300 ATK for each monster Sora controls that was Special Summoned by this effect ("Death-Toy Mad Chimera" 2800 → 3100). Shun activates his face-down "Rank-Up-Magic Revolution Force", which allows him to gain control of an opponent's Xyz Monster, then Xyz Summon a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster by using it as the Overlay Unit. "Blaze Falcon" is returned to Shun's field ("Death-Toy Mad Chimera" 3100 → 2800) and he performs a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Revolution Falcon" (Rank Star 6/2000/3000/1 ORU) in Attack Position. Since a "Raid Raptors" monster was used as an Overlay Unit for its Summon, its effect activates, which allows Shun to destroy a Special Summoned monster Sora controls, and then inflict damage to him equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK. Sora finds and attempts to activate an Action Card but a building falls on him before he is able to so, "Death-Toy Mad Chimera" is destroyed and Sora receives damage equal to half of its ATK (Sora: 1300 → 0).
