"Galactic Eyes" (銀河の眼 Ginga no Manako) is the one-hundredth and first episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime series.

Synopsis
Due to Kaito's provocation, a Duel breaks out!

Accompanied by his dragon, a Duelist fights against his enemies all by himself…His name is Kaito. In the desolated city of Heartland, Yūya appeals that Dueling is not a tool for conflicts. As if scorning that ideal, Kaito demands a Duel! Sawatari is provoked by him, while Gongenzaka tries to stop him. Thus, a Duel breaks out between the three of them. However, Kaito’s dragon demonstrates its overwhelming strength…

Noboru Gongenzaka and Shingo Sawatari vs. Kaito Tenjō
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Cross Over" 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: Shingo

Shingo Normal Summons "Abyss Actor - Wild Hope" (1600/1200) and Sets a card.

"Gongenzaka" joins the Duel, taking the 2000 LP intrusion penalty (Gongenzaka: 4000 → 2000 LP).

Turn 2: Gongenzaka

Gongenzaka Normal Summons "Superheavy Samurai Sword - "Kyukyukyu"" (1000/1800). Gongenzaka activates the effect of the "Superheavy Samurai Soul Chusai" in his hand, equipping it to "Kyukyukyu". Now, his opponent can only target the equipped monster for attacks. Shingo finds and activates the Action Card "Break Ruin", inflicting damage to his opponent equal to the difference in the number of cards in their hands times 300 (Kaito 4000 → 3400). As effect damage was inflicted, the other effect of "Soul Chusai" causes it to destroy itself.

Turn 3: Kaito

Kaito draws "Cipher Shield". Kaito Normal Summons "Cipher Wing" (1400/???). As he controls a "Cipher Wing", Kaito activates the effect of the other "Cipher Wing" in his hand, Special Summoning it (1400/???) in Attack Position. Shingo activates his face-down "Abyss Actor's Vacancy", letting him declare a Level to prevent monsters of that Level from being used as Materials. He declares 4. Kaito activates the Continuous Magic Card "Cipher Interfere". "Cipher Wing" attacks "Wild Hope", with Kaito activating the effect of "Cipher Interfere" as he controls two or more "Cipher" monsters with the same name and 1 is battling. The ATK of that monster doubles ("Cipher Wing" 1400 → 2800) until the end of the Battle Phase. "Wild Hope" is destroyed (Shingo 4000 → 2800). As "Wild Hope" was destroyed, its effect activates, letting Shingo add an "Abyss Actor" monster from his Deck to his hand. He adds "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel". The second "Cipher Wing" attacks directly (Shingo 2800 → 1400). Kaito Sets two cards.

Turn 4: Shingo

Shingo activates "Abyss Actor - Devil Heel" and "Funky Comedian" in his Pendulum Zones. Shingo Pendulum Summons "Abyss Actor - Big Star" (2500/1800) from his hand and "Wild Hope" (1600/1200) from his Extra Deck, both in Attack Position. Shingo activates the effect of "Big Star", letting him add an "Abyss Script" card from his Deck to his hand once per turn. He adds "Abyss Script - Abode of the Fire Dragon". He activates "Abode of the Fire Dragon" and targets "Big Star". Now, if "Big Star" destroys an opponent's monster by battle, he can banish three cards from his opponent's Extra Deck. Shingo activates the Continuous Magic Card "Abyss Actor's Costume Box", which lets him equip a monster with a "Abyss Costume" card from his Deck once per turn. He activates the effect now, equipping "Big Star" with "Abyss Costume - Sword of the Valiant", increasing its ATK by 300 ("Big Star" 2500 → 2800). Shingo activates the Pendulum Effect of "Funky Comedian", letting him add an "Abyss Actor Pendulum Monster he controls to the Extra Deck once per turn, then target a monster he controls and increase its ATK by the ATK of the monster added until the end of the turn. He adds "Wild Hope" and targets "Big Star" ("Big Star" 2800 → 4400). "Big Star" attacks "Cipher Wing", with the effect of "Cipher Interfere" activating ("Cipher Wing" 1400 → 2800). Kaito activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Cipher Shield" as he controls two or more "Cipher" monsters. Those monsters cannot be destroyed by battle and Kaito will take no effect damage. The attack continues (Kaito 3400 → 1800). As he took battle damage, Kaito activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Cipher Chain", letting him target all monsters on the field. When any of those monsters is destroyed, all of them will be destroyed and both players will take damage equal to the total ATK of those monsters.

Turn 5: Gongenzaka

Gongenzaka Normal Summons "Superheavy Samurai Kageboshi". As he has no Magic/Trap Cards in his Graveyard, Gongenzaka sends the "Superheavy Samurai Soul Makarugaeshi" in his hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Superheavy Samurai Horagai" (300/600) from his hand in Attack Position via the effect of the latter monster. Gongenzaka tunes the Level 3 "Kyukyukyu" with Level 3 "Kageboshi" and the Level 2 Tuner monster "Horagai" to Synchro Summon "Superheavy Ninja Sarutobi " (2000/2800) in Defense Position. As he has no Magic/Trap Cards in his Graveyard, Gongenzaka activates the effect of "Sarutobi" letting him target and destroy a Magic/Trap Card his opponent controls and inflict 500 damage once per turn. He destroys "Cipher Chain", but the effect of "Cipher Shield" reduces the damage to 0. "Sarutobi" can attack while in Defense Position. Shingo activates the effect of "Costume Box", equipping "Sarutobi" with "Abyss Costume - Shield of the Dwarf", increasing its DEF by 300 (2800 → 3100 DEF). The effect of "Sarutobi" lets it attack while in Defense Position, so it attacks "Cipher Wing", with the effect of "Cipher Interfere" activating ("Cipher Wing" 1400 → 2800) and the effect of "Cipher Shield" preventing its destruction by battle (Kaito 1800 → 1500).

Turn 6: Kaito

Kaito draws and Normal Summons "Cipher Wing" (1400/???). Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Wing", Releasing it to increase the Levels of all "Cipher" monsters he controls by 4 (Both "Cipher Wings" 4 → 8). Kaito overlays his two Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Kaito activates the effect of "Cipher Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to take control of a monster his opponent controls until the End Phase. That monster's effects will be negated, but its name and ATK will become the same as that of "Cipher Dragon". He targets "Sarutobi" and switches it to Attack Position (2000 → 3000 ATK). "Sarutobi" with its name treated as "Cipher Dragon" attacks "Big Star", with the effect of "Cipher Interfere" activating (3000 → 6000 ATK). "Big Star" is destroyed (Shingo 1400 → 0). "Cipher Dragon" attacks directly (Gongenzaka 2000 → 0).
