Synopsis
The semi finals of the Friendship Cup are carried out in a hurry. The first match is Yūya vs Crow! Crow apologizes for misunderstanding Yūya and the Lancers, while Yūya asks for Crow’s help in order to save his friends. As they vow to help each other achieve his own motive and begin their Duel, something abnormal happens to Yūya…

Yūya Sakaki vs. Crow Hogan
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: Crow

Crow Normal Summons "Black Feather - Blast the Black Spear" (CG Star 4/1700/800) and Sets a card.

Turn 2: Yūya

Yūya activates "Super Hippo Carnival", allowing him to Special Summon "Entermate Discover Hippo" from his hand, Deck or Graveyard and four "Hippo Tokens". He Special Summons "Discover Hippo" (CG Star 3/800/800)" from his hand and the four "Tokens" (CG Star 1/0/0), all in Defense Position. Crow activates his face-down, "Black Feather - Festival", Special Summoning three "Black Feather Token"'s (CG Star 1/0/0) as monsters were Special Summoned to Yūya's field while he controlled a "Black Feather" monster. Yūya activates "Catastrophe Draw", destroying his five monsters to draw two cards. Yūya draws and subsequently places "Synthesis Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 8) and "Antithesis Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 3) in his Pendulum Zones. He Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) in Attack Position. Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Synthesis Magician", letting him change the Level of a monster on the field to the same as another monster on the field, until the end of the turn. Yūya changes the Level of "Blast the Black Spear" to that of "Odd-Eyes" (CG Star 4 → 7). "Odd-Eyes" attacks and destroys "Blast the Black Spear", with the former's effect doubling the battle damage as it battled a Level 5 or higher monster (Crow: 4000 → 2400 LP).

Turn 3: Crow

Crow Normal Summons "Black Feather - Calm the Shimmer" (CG Star 4/600/1800). As Crow controls a "Black Feather" monster, he Special Summons "Black Feather - Gale the Hurricane" (CG Star 3/1300/400) in Attack Position. Crow tunes the Level 4 "Calm the Shimmer" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Gale the Hurricane" to Synchro Summon "Assault Black Feather - Raikiri the Sudden Shower" (CG Star 7/2600/2000) in Attack Position. Crow activates the effect of "Raikiri", allowing him to destroy a number of cards Yūya controls up to the number of "Black Feather" monsters he currently controls. As he controls four "Black Feather" monsters, Crow destroys "Odd-Eyes", "Antithesis Magician", and "Synthesis Magician". "Raikiri" attacks directly (Yūya: 4000 → 1400 LP). Crow Sets two cards.

Turn 4: Yūya Yūya activates "Amazing Pendulum", allowing him to add two Pendulum Monsters from his Extra Deck to his hand as he has no cards in his Pendulum Zones. He adds and subsequently places "Synthesis Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 8) and "Antithesis Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 3) in his Pendulum Zones. Yūya Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his Extra Deck and "Entermate Longphone Bull" (CG Star 4/1600/???) from his hand, both in Attack Position. The effect of "Longphone Bull" activates. Since it was Summoned, "Longphone Bull" lets Yūya add a "Entermate" monster with 1000 or less ATK from his Deck to his hand. Yūya adds "Entermate Amenboat" (CG Star 4/500/1600) to his hand and subsequently Normal Summons it. Yūya overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Rank Star 4/2500/2000/2 ORU) in Attack Position.

Duel continues in the next episode.
