Episode 49

"Bring Smiles With Dueling" (デュエルでを  Dyueru de Egao o), known as "Fighting for Fun" in the Dub version, is the forty-ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Shun continues to fight against the Obelisk Force despite his injuries, assisted by Shingo and Gongenzaka who suddenly entered into the Duel. At the same time, Yūya Duels against Sora but was responded with ridicule. Despite eventually being able to convey his thoughts to Sora and make him change his mind slightly, however...

Summary
Reira chants, "Solemn tyrant of the earth! I offer you the power residing in my eye! Xyz Summon! Appear now! Ultimate armament that repels all! Rank 6! CCC Rock Armor the Embodiment of Overlaid Armors!" As the Xyz Monster appears with a single Overlay Unit, Tatsuya muses that it’s here, though he still has his trump card. Reira activates the effect of "Rock Armor", detaching an Overlay Unit to increase the ATK of "Rock Armor" by half the total DEF of all face-up EARTH monsters. Both "Rock Armor" and Tatsuya’s "Entermachine Gadget Giant" have 2000 DEF, which is added to the ATK of "Rock Armor" for a total of 4500. Reira declares his Battle Phase, attacking "Gadget Giant" with "Rock Armor". Tatsuya replies that he won't let Reira, explaining that the effect of "Gadget Giant" will destroy his opponent’s Special Summoned monster without damage calculation. " Gadget Giant" beams a kaleidoscopic surge of light from its shoulder pauldron at " Rock Armor", and Nico Smiley declares that this is Tatsuya’s answer; Reira is in a pinch. Reira reveals that the effect of "Rock Armor" negates the effects of the monsters that it battles, and "Rock Armor" swallows the light before slinging the rocks surrounding it at "Gadget Giant", destroying it and reducing Tatsuya's LP from 1900 to zero. Nico praises the comeback of their winner, the miracle rookie Reira of LDS, who has won his way through the tournament with Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Summoning to win the Youth Tournament. Tatsuya congratulates Reira, comparing him to Reiji Akaba in his use of Summoning methods. Reira is taken aback, but he thanks Tatsuya with a shy smile.

In the Volcano Area, Shingo joins Serena, Tsukikage, and Shun against the Obelisk Force. Tsukikage only has 500 LP and his "Twilight Ninja - Shingetsu", while Serena has 2400 LP and controls her "Moonlight Cat Dancer" and "Moonlight Purple Butterfly". Meanwhile, the three Obelisk Force each control an "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" that has been boosted to 2000 ATK and have 2000 LP each. Shingo declares his turn and draws "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel". He uses the Scale 1 "Devil Heel" and the Scale 8 "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian" to Set the Pendulum Scale, explaining that he can now simultaneously Summon monsters from Levels 2 to 7. He Pendulum Summons the Level 7 "Abyss Actor - Big Star" and he immediately activates its effect, adding an "Abyss Script" card from his Deck to his hand once per turn. Adding "Abyss Script - Fantasy Magic" to his hand, Shingo activates the Magic Card, explaining that after reading the script, "Big Star" will act out his role. "Big Star" is cloaked in a wizard's garb, and Shingo declares his Battle Phase, attacking the yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force's "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and destroying it, reducing the yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force to 1500 LP. The yellow-jeweled Obelisk Force asks if Shingo was watching earlier, since even if he destroys the Obelisk Force's monsters, he'll just eat their combo in response. Shingo replies that he didn't destroy "Triple Bite Hound Dog", but instead, during a turn in which he activated "Fantasy Magic", the destroyed monster was returned to the hand instead. But Fusion Monsters return to the Extra Deck, not the hand. The Obelisk Force instead activates a Trap Card, "Antique Gear Rebirth Fusion", which when an "Antique Gear" monster leaves the field, allows him to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster that lists the monster that left the field as a Fusion Material. He chants "Appear and come forth! Level 9! Antique Gear Ultimate Hound Dog!" The effect of "Ultimate Hound Dog" then activates since it was Fusion Summoned, halving the LP of the Obelisk Force's opponents. Shingo can only ask what the heck is up with that as yellow energy rains down on his side of the field, reducing Tsukikage to 250 LP, Serena to 1200 LP, Shingo to 1000, and Shun's previously untouched LP to 2000. Shingo curses, and Shun snaps at him to stay out of this, but he falters and grunts in pain again while clutching his ribs. Gongenzaka steps in between them, suggesting that Shun should take his own advice. He declares his turn and draws, immediately taking the intrusion penalty of 2000 LP, which reduces him to 2000 LP as he grunts.

Sora and Yūya face off in the underground cavern. Sora goes first, activating the Continuous Magic Card "Toypot". Once per turn, he can send a card from his hand to the Graveyard and draw one card. He discards "Furnimal Wing" and a coin appears in the air and slots into "Toypot". Sora prepares to draw, explaining that if he draws a Level 4 or lower monster, he can Special Summon it, but anything else is sent to the Graveyard. He draws the Level 3 "Furnimal Bear", and thus he Special Summons it, "Furnimal Bear". "Toypot" cranks its arm and dispenses a ball that opens to release "Furnimal Bear". Then, Sora activates the Magic Card, "Fusion". He chants, "Fusion Summon! Show yourself! Death-Toy Scissors Bear!" Setting a card, Sora ends his turn, telling Yūya to face him, and that Sora will make Yūya realize Sora's true power.

Vowing to bring back Sora's smile, Yūya draws "Timegazer Magician". He uses the Scale 1 "Stargazer Magician" and the Scale 8 "Timegazer Magician" to Set the Pendulum Scale, allowing him to simultaneously Summon monsters from Levels 2 to 7. Yūya chants, "Swing, pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now, with your wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" He tells Sora to remember how they felt when they first Dueled. Sora replies that he was just playing around the first time, but he won’t be so soft now. Yūya retorts that Sora's smile back then was genuine, and he declares his Battle Phase, attacking "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" with "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Sora flips over to a rock and snags an Action Card, "Flame Chain", decreasing the ATK of one monster by 400. Yūya responds with the Pendulum Effect of "Stargazer Magician", negating the activation of a Magic Card once per turn while a Pendulum Monster is battling and re-Setting it. "Stargazer Magician" sends out light waves with "Horoscope Divination", re-Setting "Flame Chain". Sora grits his teeth and runs for another Action Card, but Yūya crosses overhead and activates his own, "Flame Power", increasing the ATK of a monster by 400 for the rest of the turn. "Odd-Eyes" glows orange as it increases to 2900 ATK. Returning to his original standing spot, Sora activates his Set "Fusion Cancel", returning "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" to the Extra Deck and Special Summoning its Fusion Materials, "Furnimal Bear" and "Edge Imp Scissors" in Defense Position. Landing in a crouch, Yūya orders "Odd-Eyes" to attack "Edge Imp Scissors", and "Odd-Eyes" disintegrates the Demon with one swipe of its tail. Yūya explains that when a monster that has been targeted by "Flame Power" destroys a monster in battle, it inflicts the DEF of that monster as damage. Fire rains from the card, reducing Sora to 3200 LP. Yūya ends his turn, the effect of "Flame Power" ending. Yūya states that back when they last Dueled, they became friends like this, didn't they? Sora scoffs at the idea of making friends through Dueling, calling it soft.

Gongenzaka looks at the "Pendulum Statue Red Devil" and "Pendulum Statue Black Sun" in his hand, before addressing Serena as Yuzu, claiming that he'll find a way out of this with the cards that she left him. He uses the Scale 1 "Red Devil" and the Scale 12 "Black Sun" to Set the Pendulum Scale, explaining that this will allow him to simultaneously Summon monsters from Level 2 to 11. He Pendulum Summons two "Superheavy Samurai Thief" in addition to "Superheavy Samurai Transporter". Then, Gongenzaka activates the effect of one of his "Thief", Releasing it to add a previously activated Magic or Trap Card to his hand. He adds the "Devil Heel" in Shingo's Pendulum Zone that is treated as a Magic Card via this effect, "Thief" transforming into a ball of light that removes the monster from its column of light. Shingo tosses the card to Gongenzaka, asking if he’s using the effect wrong; can’t Gongenzaka break down the Obelisk Force’s combo with that effect? Gongenzaka catches the card, reassuring Shingo that it's fine. He Releases the other "Thief", this time adding Shingo’s "Funky Comedian" to his hand. Finally, by Releasing "Transporter", he can add "Devil Heel" and "Funky Comedian" to Shun’s hand. "Transporter" tosses the cards to Shun with its staff, and Shun asks why Gongenzaka is giving him Pendulum Cards. Gongenzaka explains that Shun is finishing this, and he ends his turn, leaving Shun to ponder his current situation.

Sora claims that Dueling is a fight; in the end, it's win or get beaten. Yūya asks if Sora is saying that they aren't friends anymore, and Sora replies that they aren't; he has something more important to him than friendship.

Shun declares his turn and draws ferociously. He pants as he remembers Serena defending him from Sora, Tsukikage protecting them with "Barrier Ninjitsu of Gathering Shadows", Shingo taking the intrusion penalty, and Gongenzaka telling Shun that he was finishing the Duel. He calls it ridiculous, but nevertheless, he uses the Scale 1 "Devil Heel" and the Scale 8 "Funky Comedian" to Set the Pendulum Scale, allowing him to simultaneously Summon monsters from Levels 2 to 7. Shingo and Gongenzaka watch in anticipation as Shun declares, "Pendulum Summon! Flock to me! Raid Raptors - Wild Vulture!" He's Pendulum Summoned three "Wild Vultures" and immediately overlays the Level 6 "Wild Vultures". He chants, "Proud falcon, spread your wings dyed in the blood of heroes. Advance along the path of revolution! Xyz Summon! Appear now! Rank 6! Raid Raptors - Revolution Falcon!" Shun activates the effect of "Revolution Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to allow "Revolution Falcon" to attack all monsters his opponent controls once each. The green-jeweled Obelisk Force sneers that even if Shun can attack them all, their combo will send him packing. Shun explains that when "Revolution Falcon" battles a Special Summoned monster, the ATK and DEF of that monster become zero. He declares battle, and "Revolution Falcon" blasts flames from the exhaust pipes on its wings, reducing the stats of the Obelisk Force's monsters to zero. He tells "Revolution Falcon" as it spirals into the air to carry on the will of the fallen, and eradicate all of their enemies. "Revolution Falcon" attacks with "Revolutionary Air Raid", opening its bay doors and dropping its bomb payload, destroying the Obelisk Force’s monsters and blasting them backwards screaming as their LP falls to zero. Shingo begins cheering, asking how the Obelisk Force like that, and as Gongenzaka nods at Shun, Shingo yells, "Oh yes!" in English.

Sora tells Yūya that he will make Yūya realize that winning is more important than friendship. He declares his turn and draws another "Furnimal Wing". Sora activates the effect of his "Toypot", discarding "Furnimal Wing" to draw a card. If it's a Level 4 or lower monster, he'll be able to Special Summon it. He draws the Level 2 "Furnimal Owl", which is Special Summoned. "Owl" pops out from "Toypot", and Sora explains that when "Owl" is Special Summoned from his hand, he can add "Fusion" from his Deck to his hand. Next Sora activates the effect of the "Furnimal Wing" in his Graveyard since he controls "Toypot", banishing two copies to draw two cards; and then drawing one more by Releasing "Toypot". Yūya is shocked that Sora drew three cards in one move, and Sora continues his turn, activating the Continuous Magic Card "Edge Nightmare". It allows him to Special Summon an "Edge Imp" monster from his Graveyard once per turn, so he revives "Edge Imp Scissors". Then he activates "Fusion", fusing "Edge Imp Scissors", "Furnimal Bear" and "Furnimal Owl", chanting, "Claws of the demon! Fangs of the beast! Eyes of the void! Become one in the whirlpool of light and reveal your new form! Fusion Summon! Show yourself, mystical beast of the jungle that shreds everything! Death-Toy Scissors Tiger!" Yūya yells at Sora to snap out of it; didn't he teach Yuzu to Fusion Summon out of friendship. Sora sTatsuyas that it was unnecessary, since Fusion is much more precious than that; it's the power to make the worlds one. Yūya snaps that making the worlds one through power is wrong. Sora can only protest that it isn't wrong before he activates the effect of "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" since it was Fusion Summoned, allowing him to destroy a number of cards equal to the number of its Fusion Materials. With three Fusion Materials, he can destroy three cards. "Tiger" extends its blades, chopping "Odd-Eyes", "Stargazer" and "Timegazer" in two. Sora adds that the ATK of "Tiger" will increase by 300 for each "Death-Toy" on the field. "Tiger" glows yellow and laughs madly as it rises to 2200 ATK. Sora declares battle, attacking Yūya directly with "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger". Yūya turns and flees, but "Tiger" pounces, knocking Yūya backwards and reducing his LP to 1800.

Sora Sets two cards, ending his turn. He asks Yūya if that is a clear enough answer for him. Yūya asks why Sora has changed this much; he used to be so straightforward and light-hearted. Sora replies that this is who he's always been; a Duel Warrior of Academia. To hell with Academia, Yūya snaps. He declares his turn and draws, then Summons "Entermate Amenboat". Next, since he's successfully Summoned a "Entermate" monster, he can Special Summon "Entermate Secondonkey" from his hand. He overlays the Level 4 "Amenboat" and "Secondonkey", chanting "Xyz Summon! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yūya asks if Sora knows what Academia did to the Xyz Dimension. Heartland was a peaceful city overflowing with smiles, and Sora's people trampled over it. Sora callously states that it had to be done, as it's all for making the worlds one. Yūya snaps that Sora and his people don't have that authority. He activates the effect of "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" detaching an Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of a Level 5 or higher monster that his opponent controls and have "Dark Rebellion" gain that lost ATK. "Dark Rebellion's" wings unfold and blast lightning at "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger", and Yūya tells Sora to remember who he really was. Sora protests that he keeps telling Yūya that this is the real him, and he activates a Counter Trap Card, "Death-Toy March", negating a monster effect that targets a "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster. Then, he sends a "Death-Toy" monster from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard with the same Level as the targeted monsters, so he sends "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" from his Extra Deck to his Graveyard. Finally, Sora can Special Summon a "Death-Toy" monster from his Extra Deck that lists the targeted monster as a Fusion Material, treating that Summon as a Fusion Summon. A copy of "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" appears and glows yellow, and Sora chants, "Show yourself! Wild beast of the devil's nest, bare your fangs at all! Death-Toy Sabre Tiger". When "Sabre Tiger" is Fusion Summoned, it can Special Summon a "Death-Toy" monster from his Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. He chants, "Show yourself! Horrifying beast that shreds everything! Death-Toy Scissors Bear!" Sora explains that the effect of "Tiger" increases the ATK of all "Death-Toy" monsters by 300 for each "Death-Toy" or "Furnimal" monster he controls, and "Tiger", "Sabre Tiger" and "Bear" all rise to 2800, 3300, and 3100 ATK respectively. Then he reveals that the effect of "Sabre Tiger" also increases the ATK of all "Death-Toy" monsters by 400 for each "Death-Toy" or "Furnimal" monster that he controls, and "Tiger", "Sabre Tiger" and "Bear" rise in ATK again, to 4000, 4500, and 4300 respectively. Yūya snags another Action Card, a "Flame Power", and he curses that he can't do it with just this.

With a look of determination, Yūya uses the Scale 3 "Antithesis Magician" and the Scale 8 "Synthesis Magician" to Set the Pendulum Scale. He explains that with this, he can simultaneously Summon monsters from Levels 3 to 7. He chants, "Swing, pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now, my monster! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" "Odd-Eyes" appears again, roaring beside "Dark Rebellion". Sora muses on the ability of Pendulum Monsters to send themselves to the Extra Deck, admitting that he got done in by that last time. Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Antithesis Magician", allowing him to give an Xyz Monster a Level equal to its Rank, granting the Rank 4 "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon” a Level of 4. "Antithesis Magician" infuses "Dark Rebellion" with energy, and Sora is shocked at the idea of giving a Level to an Xyz Monster. Yūya then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Synthesis Magician", making the Level of one monster that he controls equal to the Level of another monster. He makes "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" Level 7, the same as "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", and Sora gasps that now Yūya has two Level 7 monsters.

Yūya swallows, mentally calling out to Yūto, who he asks if he's in there. He tells Yūto that he'll believe in him, who spoke of Dueling with smiles. Yūya overlays the Level 7 "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", chanting, "Dragon of dual-colored eyes! Eradiacte all enemies who oppose you with your scale of wrath! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 7! Dragon with eyes of rage! Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon the Supreme King Black Dragon!" Yūya activates the effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon"; when it is Xyz Summoned using a "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" that was treated as Level 7, it can destroy all Level 7 or lower monsters that his opponent controls and deal damage equal to their ATK. "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" lets out a roar that destroys "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" and "Death-Toy Scissors Bear". Sora quickly activates a Continuous Trap Card, "Fusion Front Base", which prevents him from taking effect damage as long as he controls a Fusion Monster. He admits that since "Tiger" has left the field, its effect ends and the ATK of "Sabre Tiger" decreases due to there being fewer "Death-Toy" monsters on the field. On a walkway up above, Gongenzaka, Serena, Shun, Shingo, Tsukikage, and Dennis, who is carrying Mieru on his back, approach the Duel, Gongenzaka calling Yūya’s name. Sora, meanwhile, has spotted the "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" card – the card is both an Xyz Monster and a Pendulum Monster, and he begins to smile, admitting that this is really fun. He dubs the card an Xyz-Pendulum Monster, stating that this is why Duels with Yūya are so fun. Yūya agrees; Dueling is fun, so please, stop this fighting. Sora grits his teeth and doesn’t respond, so Yūya activates the effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon". By using an Overlay Unit, it can attack as many times as monsters were destroyed this turn. "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" absorbs one of its Overlay Units and deploys its blades of light, and Yūya declares his Battle Phase, attacking "Death-Toy Sabre Tiger" with "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon". Sora activates the Set "Flame Chain" from earlier as "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" dives into the ceiling and begins ploughing through the stalactites, reducing its ATK by 400. Yūya activates the "Flame Power" that he’d picked up, increasing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" by 400. As "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" dives towards "Sabre Tiger", Sora and Yūya both leap for an Action Card attached to a stalactite…

And then the time reaches 12 o'clock noon. The card disintegrates before the two can reach it, as does the ARC System; Nico Smiley declaring over the intercom that the Battle Royal is over. Sora and Yūya land and slide across the ground. Gongenzaka calls out to both Yūya and Sora, and Yūya replies in kind to Gongenzaka, then he sees Serena, mistaking her for Yuzu. Mieru stirs on Dennis’s back, and she blanches to see Serena, calling her Yuzu and accusing her of messing around with other guys while seducing "Darling". Serena replies that she isn’t Yuzu, much to Yūya's shock. He turns to Sora, asking where Yuzu is. Realizing that he's in trouble, Sora activates the forced return function of his Duel Disk, returning to the Fusion Dimension. Reiji's voice sounds out, explaining that he saw all of their Duels. The others look up to see him standing on a higher walkway, and Shingo comments that Reiji came at a good time; Shingo cleared out that Academia bunch like Reiji asked him to. He comments that that makes him one of Reiji's Lancers now. Gongenzaka is confused by the term, and Shingo explains that the Battle Royal was a selection exam for the Lancers. Yūya is shocked by this explanation, and he looks up at the impassive Reiji.

Yūya Sakaki vs. Sora Shiun'in
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Wonder Quartet" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.

Turn 1: Sora

Sora activates "Toypot", allowing him to discard a card once per turn to draw a card and reveal it, and if it is a Level 4 or lower monster, it is Special Summoned, otherwise it is discarded. Sora discards "Furnimal Wing" (CG Star 1, 1/100/100) to draw "Furnimal Bear" and then Special Summon it (CG Star 3/1200/800) in Attack Position. He then activates "Fusion", fusing "Furnimal Bear" with the "Edge Imp Scissors" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (CG Star 6/2200/1800) in Attack Position. Sora Sets a card.

Turn 2: Yūya

Yūya draws "Timegazer Magician". Yūya activates "Timegazer Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 8) and "Stargazer Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 1) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. "Odd-Eyes" attacks "Death-Toy Scissors Bear", but Sora finds and activates the Action Card "Flame Chain" to reduce the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" by 400. As a Pendulum Monster is battling and a Magic Card was activated, Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Timegazer Magician", negating the activation of that Magic Card, Setting it, and preventing it from being activated for the rest of this turn. Yūya then finds and activates the Action Card "Flame Power", increasing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" by 400 ("Odd-Eyes": 2500 → 2900/2000) until the end of the turn. Sora activates his face-down "Fusion Cancel", returning "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" to his Extra Deck and Special Summoning "Furnimal Bear" (CG Star 3/1200/800) and "Edge Imp Scissors" (CG Star 3/1200/800) from his Graveyard in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Odd-Eyes" attacks and destroys "Scissors". The effect of "Flame Power" inflicts damage to Sora equal to the destroyed monster's DEF (Sora 4000 → 3200 LP).

Turn 3: Sora

Sora draws "Furnimal Wing". He activates the effect of "Toypot", discarding "Wing" to draw "Furnimal Owl" and then Special Summon it (CG Star 2/1000/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Owl" as it was Special Summoned, adding "Fusion" from his Deck to his hand. Sora activates the effect of the "Furnimal Wing" in his Graveyard, banishing it and another copy from there to draw two cards, then Release "Toypot" to draw another card. Sora activates "Edge Nightmare", which lets him Special Summon an "Edge Imp" monster that was used for a Fusion Summon from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Scissors" in Attack Position. He then activates "Fusion", fusing "Furnimal Bear", "Furnimal Owl" and "Scissors" on his field to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" (CG Star 6/1900/1200) in Attack Position. The effect of "Tiger" increases the ATK of all "Death-Toy" monsters Sora controls by 300 for each "Furnimal" and "Death-Toy Scissors Tiger" monster he controls ("Tiger": 1900 → 2200/1200). The effect of the Fusion Summoned "Tiger" activates, allowing Sora to destroy cards Yūya controls up to the number of Fusion Materials used for its Fusion Summon. As three Materials were used, Sora destroys "Odd-Eyes", "Stargazer Magician" and "Timegazer Magician". "Tiger" attacks directly (Yūya 4000 → 1800 LP). Sora Sets two cards.

Turn 4: Yūya

Yūya Normal Summons "Entermate Amenboat" (CG Star 4/500/1600). As he Normal Summoned a "Entermate" monster, Yūya also Special Summons "Entermate Secondonkey" (CG Star 4/1000/2000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Yūya overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Rank Star 4/2500/2000/2 ORU). He activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of a Level 5 or higher monster Sora controls and add that amount to its own ATK until the end of this turn. Sora activates his face-down "Death-Toy March", negating an effect that would target a "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster he controls, by sending a "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster with the same Level as the monster on his field from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and then Fusion Summoning another "Death-Toy" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck that lists the sent monster as a Fusion Material. Sora sends "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" to the Graveyard and Fusion Summons "Death-Toy Sabre Tiger" (CG Star 8/2400/2000) in Attack Position. The effect of "Sabre Tiger" activates as it was Special Summoned, allowing Sora to Special Summon a "Death-Toy" monster from his Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. He Special Summons "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (CG Star 6/2200/1800) in Attack Position. The effect of "Sabre Tiger" increases the ATK of all "Death-Toy" monsters Sora controls by 400 for each "Furnimal" and "Death-Toy" monster he controls ("Tiger": 1900 → 4000/2000, "Sabre Tiger": 2400 → 4500/2000, "Bear": 2200 → 4300/1800). Yūya finds the Action Card "Flame Power". Yūya activates "Antithesis Magician" (Left Pendulum Scale 3) and "Synthesis Magician" (Right Pendulum Scale 8) in his left and right Pendulum Zones, respectively. He Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (CG Star 7/2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He activates the Pendulum Effect of "Antithesis Magician", giving "Dark Rebellion" a Level equal to its current Rank ("Dark Rebellion": Rank Star 4 → CG Star 4). Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Synthesis Magician", changing the Level of "Dark Rebellion" to that of another monster he controls. He targets "Odd-Eyes" ("Dark Rebellion": CG Star 4 → 7). Yūya overlays his two Level 7 Dragon-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" (Rank Star 7/3000/2500/2 ORU). As it was Xyz Summoned using a Xyz Monster being treated as a Level 7 monster, the effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" activates, destroying all Level 7 or lower monsters his opponent controls and inflicting damage equal to the total ATK of those monsters to Sora. "Bear" and "Tiger" are destroyed as they are Level 6 monsters ("Sabre Tiger": 4500 → 2800), but Sora activates his face-down "Fusion Front Base", preventing him from taking effect damage while he controls a Fusion Monster. Yūya activates the other effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion", detaching an Overlay Unit to allow it to attack once for each monster that was destroyed this turn. "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" attacks "Sabre Tiger", but Sora activates his face-down Action Card "Flame Chain", reducing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" by 400 ("Odd-Eyes Rebellion": 3000 → 2600). Yūya activates the Action Card "Flame Power", increasing the ATK of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" by 400 ("Odd-Eyes Rebellion": 2600 → 3000). Both players spring for the same Action Card, but the Duel is interrupted at this point as the Battle Royale's timer expires.

Tsukikage, Serena, Shun Kurosaki, Shingo Sawatari and Noboru Gongenzaka vs. Obelisk Force: Red, Green and Yellow
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 8: Shingo Shingo draws "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel". Shingo activates "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian" (Right Pendulum Scale 8) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning "Abyss Actor - Big Star" (CG Star 7/2500/1800) from his hand. He activates its effect, adding an "Abyss Script" card from his Deck to his hand. Shingo adds "Abyss Script - Fantasy Magic" and subsequently activates it, targeting "Big Star". It allows Shingo to return a monster that "Big Star" attacks to the hand after damage calculation. "Big Star" attacks Yellow's "Antique Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog" (Yellow: 2000 → 1500 LP), with it being returned to the Extra Deck. As an "Antique Gear" monster he controls left the field via his opponent's card effect, Yellow activates his face-down "Antique Gear Rebirth Fusion", letting him Fusion Summon a monster from his Extra Deck that lists that monster as a Fusion Material Monster. He Fusion Summons "Antique Gear Ultimate Hound Dog" (CG Star 9/2800/2000). Since it was successfully Fusion Summoned, its effect activates, halving the LP of all his opponents (Tsukikage: 500 → 250 LP, Serena: 2400 → 1200 LP, Shingo: 2000 → 1000 LP, Shun: 4000 → 2000 LP).

Turn 9: Gongenzaka

Gongenzaka joins the Duel at this point, taking the 2000 LP intrusion penalty (Gongenzaka: 4000 → 2000 LP). Gongenzaka activates "Pendulum Statue Red Devil" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Pendulum Statue Black Sun" (Right Pendulum Scale 12) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning "Superheavy Samurai Transporter" (CG Star 5/1200/1800) and two copies of "Superheavy Samurai Thief" (CG Star 10/1000/1000) from his hand. He activates the effect of one of his "Thief", Releasing it to add a Magic Card activated on the previous turn to his hand. He chooses Shingo's "Devil Heel". He activates the effect of the other "Thief", Releasing it to add Shingo's "Funky Comedian" to his hand. Gongenzaka activates the effect of his "Transporter", Releasing it to give two cards in his hand to one of his opponents. He gives "Devil Heel" and "Funky Comedian" to Shun.

Turn 10: Shun Shun activates "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel" (Left Pendulum Scale 1) and "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian" (Right Pendulum Scale 8) in his Pendulum Zones, subsequently Pendulum Summoning three copies of "Raid Raptors - Wild Vulture" (CG Star 6/1600/2000) from his hand. Shun overlays his three Level 6 Winged Beast-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Revolution Falcon" (Rank Star 6/2000/3000/3 ORU). Shun activates the effect of "Revolution Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to allow it to attack each Special Summoned monster his opponent controls once each. "Revolution Falcon" attacks Yellow's "Ultimate Hound Dog", Red's "Triple Bite Hound Dog" and Green's "Triple Bite Hound Dog". The effect of "Revolution Falcon" reduces the ATK of all three Special Summoned monsters to 0 at the start of each Damage Step (Red: 2000 → 0 LP, Green: 2000 → 0 LP, Yellow: 1500 → 0 LP).

Reira Akaba vs. Tatsuya Yamashiro
Duel already in progress. Tatsuya has 1900 LP remaining, two cards in his hand and controls "Entermachine Gadget Giant" (CG Star 6/???/2000).

Reira's turn Reira Xyz Summons "CCC Rock Armor the Embodiment of Heavy Armor" (Rank Star 6, 6/2500/2000/1 ORU). He activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to increase the ATK of "Rock Armor" by half of the combined DEF of all EARTH monsters on the field. As the combined total DEF is 4000, "Rock Armor" gains 2000 ATK ("Rock Armor": 2500 → 4500/2000). "Rock Armor" attacks "Gadget Giant", but Tatsuya activates its effect, which would destroy any Special Summoned monster that battles with it. However, the effect of "Rock Armor" negates the effect of EARTH monsters that it battles. The attack continues, destroying "Gadget Giant" (Tatsuya: 1900 → 0 LP).
