Episode 74

"Mask of the Clown" (道化師の仮面 Doukeshi no Kamen) is the seventy-fourth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Synopsis
The last match for the first round of the Friendship Cup is between Shun and Dennis, both Lancers. Against Shun who suspects his identity, Dennis plays in his usual Entertainment style. However, when Shun forces him into a corner, Dennis suddenly summons a new monster that surprises everyone!

Shun Kurosaki vs. Dennis Macfield
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Cross Over Accel" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel and a Riding 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 - Skull Eagle" (CG Star 3/1000/500). He activates "Raid Raptors - Call", which lets him Special Summon a monster from his Deck with the same name as a "Raid Raptors" monster he controls. He Special Summons a second "Skull Eagle" (CG Star 3/1000/500). Shun overlays his two Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Devil Eagle" (Rank Star 3/1000/0/2 ORU) in Attack Position. As they were used as Overlay Units, the effects of both "Skull Eagles" activate, increasing the ATK of the Xyz Summoned monster by 300 each ("Devil Eagle": 1000 → 1600). Shun activates the effect of "Devil Eagle", detaching an Overlay Unit during either player's turn to inflict damage to his opponent equal to the ATK of a Special Summoned monster on the field. Shun chooses "Devil Eagle" (Dennis: 4000 → 2400 LP). Shun Sets two cards.
