Summary
Yūya starts to Duel against Sora, who later reveals his reason for working under Reiji. In the middle of their Duel, one of Yūya's three other personalities, Yūri, decides to interfere.

Featured Duel: Yūya vs. Sora
At the start of the Duel, the Field Magic Card "Candy Park" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel.

Turn 1: Sora

Sora obtains an Action Card. Following up, he Normal Summons "Patchwork Furnimal" (★ 1/0/0), and activates "Fusion", fusing "Patchwork Furnimal" on his field, who can be used as any Fusion Material for a "Death-Toy" monster, and "Edge Imp Scissors" (★ 3/1200/600) in his hand to Fusion Summon "Death-Toy Scissors Bear" (★ 6/2200/1800).

Turn 2: Yūya

Sora obtains another Action Card. Yūya places "Entermate Ballad" (Left Pendulum Scale 2) and "Entermate Barracuda" (Right Pendulum Scale 5) in his Pendulum Zones, allowing him to Pendulum Summon "Entermate Handsome Liger" (★ 4/1800/???). Yūya attacks "Scissors Bear" with "Handsome Liger", with the effects of his Pendulum Monsters activating; the Pendulum Effect of "Ballad" would reduce the ATK of "Scissors Bear" by 600, while the effect of "Barracuda" doubles that amount, meaning the ATK of "Scissors Bear" is reduced by 1200 (ATK 2200 → 1000). "Handsome Liger" destroys "Scissors Bear" (Sora: 4000 → 3200), and with that, its effect activates, allowing Yūya to add "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" (★ 7/2500/2000) from his Deck to his hand. Yūya Sets one card.

Turn 3: Sora

Yūya obtains an Action Card. Sora activates "Death-Toy Re-Knit", Special Summoning "Scissors Bear" back from his Graveyard. He attacks "Handsome Liger" with "Scissors Bear", while activating the Action Card "Powerize", increasing the latter's ATK by 1000 during the battle (ATK 2200 → 3200). At this point, Yūya has "Entermate Show Up" face-down, but chose not to activate it because of Sora's history. "Handsome Liger" is destroyed (Yūya: 4000 → 2600), and with that, the effect of "Scissors Bear" activates, equipping "Handsome Liger" to itself and boosting its ATK by 1000, to 3200. Sora Sets one card.

Turn 4: Yūya

At this point, Yūri switches places with Yūya.

Duel continues in the next Scale.
