Shun Kurosaki vs. Crow Hogan
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 5: Crow

As he controls no monsters, Crow Special Summons "Black Feather - Gofu the Hazy Shadow" (CG Star 5/0/0) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. As it was Special Summoned, its effect activates, letting Crow Special Summon two "Hazy Shadow Token" (CG Star 1/0/0) in Attack Position. Crow tunes the two Level 1 "Hazy Shadow Tokens" with the Level 5 Tuner monster "Gofu" to Phantom Synchro "Assault Black Feather - Raikiri the Sudden Shower" (CG Star 7/2600/2000) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Crow activates the effect of "Rakiri", letting him destroy a number of his opponent's cards per turn equal to the number of "Black Feather" monsters he controls. He controls 1, so he targets "Raid Raptors - Blaze Falcon" (Rank Star 5/1000/2000), but Shun activates his face-down "Raid Raptors - Desperate" as his opponent is activating a card that would destroy a card while he controls a "Raid Raptors" monster, letting him negate the effect and draw a card. Crow equips "Raikiri" with "Supreme Blue Sky Blade - Sky Excalibur", increasing its ATK by 400 (2600 → 3000). "Raikiri" attacks and destroys "Blaze Falcon" (Shun 2100 → 100). Shun activates his face-down "Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force", letting him target and Special Summon an Xyz Monster that was destroyed by battle this turn, then Rank it Up. He Special Summons "Blaze Falcon" (Rank Star 5/1000/2000) then performs a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Revolution Falcon" (Rank Star 6/2000/3000/1 ORU) in Attack Position. As it was Xyz Summoned using a Rank 5 or lower "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster, the effect of "Revolution Falcon" activates, letting Shun target a Special Summoned monster his opponent controls, destroy it and inflict damage to his opponent equal to half its ATK, but the effect of "Sky Excalibur" prevents "Raikiri" from being affected by card effects.

Turn 6: Shun

Shun draws and activates "Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force", letting him Rank-Up a monster into a "Raid Raptors" monster that is 2 Ranks higher. He Ranks Up "Revolution Falcon" and performs a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Satellite Cannon Falcon" (Rank Star 8/3000/2000/2 ORU) in Attack Position. Shun sends the "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force" in his hand to the Graveyard via its own effect to add a "Rank-Up-Magic" Magic Card from his Graveyard to his hand. He adds and subsequently activates "Skip Force", Ranking Up "Satellite Cannon Falcon" and performing a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raid Raptors - Ultimate Falcon" (Rank Star 10/3500/???/3 ORU) in Attack Position. Shun activates the effect of "Ultimate Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the effects of all face-up cards his opponent controls until the end of this turn and reduce the ATK of all monsters his opponent controls by 1000 ("Raikiri" 3000 → 1600). "Ultimate Falcon" attacks and destroys "Raikiri" (Crow 2700 → 800), with "Raikiri" being sent to the Extra Deck via the effect of "Gofu". The effect of the equipped "Sky Excalibur" activates as it was sent to the Graveyard, letting Crow target and Special Summon a Winged Beast-Type Tuner monster in his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Black Feather - Oroshi the Squall" (CG Star 1/400/600) in Attack Position. During the End Phase, the effect of "Ultimate Falcon" activates as it was Xyz Summoned this turn by using a "Raid Raptors" Xyz Monster, reducing the ATK of an opponent's monster by 1000 ("Oroshi" 400 → 0).

Turn 7: Crow

Crow draws "Black Feather - Blast the Black Spear". As Crow controls a "Black Feather" monster other than "Black Spear", he Special Summons "Black Spear" (CG Star 4/1700/800) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Crow tunes the Level 4 "Black Spear" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Oroshi" to Synchro Summon "Assault Black Feather - Sohaya the Early Summer Rain" (CG Star 5/1500/2000) in Attack Position. As it was Synchro Summoned, its effect activates, letting Crow target an "Assault Black Feather" monster in his Graveyard and Special Summon it. He Special Summons "Assault Black Feather - Sayo the Hidden Rain" (CG Star 2/800/100) in Attack Position. As "Sohaya" was Synchro Summoned by using a "Black Feather" monster, its effect treats it as a Tuner monster. Crow tunes the Level 5 Tuner monster "Sohaya" with the Level 2 "Sayo" to Synchro Summon "Raikiri" (CG Star 7/2600/2000) in Attack Position. Crow activates the effect of "Raikiri", targeting "Ultimate Falcon", but "Ultimate Falcon" is unaffected by card effects. As it was sent to the Graveyard this turn, Crow activates the effect of "Sohaya" letting him banish another copy of "Sohaya" from his Graveyard to Special Summon this copy. He Special Summons "Sohaya" (CG Star 5/1500/2000) in Attack Position. As "Raikiri" was Synchro Summoned using a "Black Feather" monster, its effect treats it as a Tuner monster. Crow tunes the Level 5 "Sohaya" with the Level 7 Tuner monster "Raikiri" to Synchro Summon "Assault Black Feather - Onimaru the Divine Swell" (CG Star 12/3000/???) in Attack Position. "Onimaru" attacks "Ultimate Falcon", with the effect of "Onimaru" activating as it is declaring an attack, increasing its ATK by the number of times Crow Synchro Summoned this turn times 1000 ("Onimaru" 3000 → 6000). "Ultimate Falcon" is destroyed (Shun 100 → 0).
