Synopsis
As the chaos in City escalates, the leader of the Lancers, Reiji, finally makes his own move! At the same time, Jack easily fends off the Duel Chasers, and drives Yūya into a corner. On the other hand, Yūya uses his own Dueling in order to respond to Jack!! As their souls push the Duel to a new height, they both call upon new monsters…!!

Summary
Jack activates the effect of "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight", destroying all Special Summoned monsters his opponent controls with equal or less ATK than "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight". "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" destroys the fifteen "Goyo Emperor"'s with "Absolute Powerflame" in addition to Yūya's "Timesword Magician" and "Entermate Radish Horse" with a massive blast of flames that sends the five Duel Chasers and their D-Wheels flying as they all fall from 4000 LP to zero. Then the flames approach Yūya as well and he disappears behind a climb of smoke as Jack explains that the effect of "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" will also inflict 500 points of damage for each monster that it destroyed with its effect. As Melissa's helicopter flies over the cloud of smoke, Melissa notes that seventeen monsters were destroyed by the effect of "Scarlight", so that means that it will have inflicted 8500 points of damage. Frank cries Yūya's name and Tanner asks if Yūya got taken out too. Amanda whispers, "No way!" But Gongenzaka replies that Yūya hasn't lost yet and Yūya drives out of the cloud of smoke, having activated the Action Magic "Acceleration", which he explains negated the effect damage. Melissa cries that Yūya made it out by the skin of his teeth. The Commons kids cheer that Yūya made it, and Chojiro, with his arm out of his sleeve, comments that Yūya got them all worried for nothing. Shun notes that it's too early to be at ease.

Jack warns Yūya that he won't escape merely by avoiding the effect and he powerslides before declaring his Battle Phase, attacking Yūya directly with "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight's" "Scorching Crimson Hell Burning". "Scarlight's" scars glow and it breathes a plume of flames at Yūya. Melissa cries that Jack is continuing his assault as Yūya reaches for an Action Card, but the attack hits before he can activate it and reduces his LP to 1000. Melissa shrugging off the attack, Yūya activates the Action Magic "Damage Draw", drawing two cards since he took over 2000 battle damage. Jack notes that Yūya managed to hang on, but drawing cards blindly won't help him. He Sets a card and ends his turn. Melissa observes that Jack isn't even letting the Director of Security interfere in the Duel and states that you can feel Jack's passionate will in how he plays. Watching the Duel in his office, Roget rises from his chair, slams his fists down and he roars, "SHUT UP!" at the oblivious Melissa. One of his staff contacts him and Roget angrily asks what now. She explains that they have an unexpected problem; Duelists that they believe to be Lancers have snuck into the base and are currently in combat with their Security force. Roget is horrified and gasps, "What?!" Sora attacks a "Goyo Defender" with "Death-Toy Mad Chimera", while Tsukikage attacks a "Goyo Predator" with "Twilight Ninja Shogun - Getsuga". Both monsters are destroyed and the two Arrest Corps that were controlling them fall to the ground in defeat, but dozens more are stepping forwards to take their place. Sora observes that the Arrest Corps don't even flinch at the sight of their members beaten in one turn and Tsukikage explains that they have no emotions as he looks at the face of one of the Arrest Corps, musing that they have obviously been brainwashed by Roget. Sora realizes that in order to save Yuzu, and Tsukikage finishes that they have to remove the brainwashing from Security.

Yūya and Jack drive down a rise an onto a level road section as Melissa declares that Yūya is still holding on after taking huge damage, but when Yūya doesn't make his move, Melissa asks what is wrong and reminds Yūya that it's his draw. Yūya and Jack enter a tunnel and Yūya thinks that he's made it this far trying his best to make his father's Dueling his own. He remembers Jack telling him to quit speaking with words that Yūya borrowed from others; if Yūya wanted to speak to Jack then he had to speak to him with his own words in his own Duel. Yūya thinks that he had believed that his father's Entertainment Dueling was the greatest.

Jack asks Yūya what's wrong; is he just going to remain playing through the dreams of his father? If Yūya has lost the will to actually fight, then he should surrender and leave, does he believe that he can Duel while he's daydreaming? Yūya grits his teeth and he replies that he won't ever surrender. He thinks that if he ran away he'd be denying his father's Dueling. For now, he just needs to Duel with all he's got. He declares his turn and he draws "Tuning Magician". Accelerating to catch up to Jack, Yūya Pendulum Summons using his already-Set Pendulum Scale; telling his monsters to revive from his Extra Deck; "Timesword Magician" and "Entermate Radish Horse". Then he Normal Summons "Tuning Magician", prompting Sam to say his and Jack's former card's name. Jack doesn't react as Yūya explains that when "Tuning Magician" is Normal Summoned he restores 400 LP to his opponent and he takes 400 damage himself. "Tuning Magician" cheerfully radiates harmonic waves from her staff, reducing Yūya to 600 LP and increasing Jack to 4400 LP. Yūya explains that when his opponent gains LP he can Special Summon "Entermate Life Swordsman" from his hand, who then gains ATK equal to the restored LP; rising to 400 ATK. Then he activates the effect of "Radish Horse", reducing the ATK of one of his opponent's Special Summoned monsters with 2500 or more ATK by that of "Radish Horse". "Radish Horse" fires its radish horn into the air and it explodes, reducing the ATK of "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" to 2500 and then it also increases the ATK of a monster that Yūya controls by the same value. Yūya chooses to increase the ATK of "Life Swordsman", which rises to 900 ATK.

Yūya reiterates that Jack claimed that Yūya hadn't grown at all, not one bit since Jack defeated him in their exhibition match. Jack looks back as Yūya explains that with the card that Sam entrusted him, "Tuning Magician", he's come to understand this dimension's Summoning method. Jack tells Yūya to show him if that power that he has obtained has made him worthy to stand in front of the King. Yūya responds by tuning his Level 4 "Radish Horse" and Level 3 "Timesword Magician" with his Level 1 "Tuning Magician". He chants, "Hero's blade that sets forth unyielding light! Now, awaken with a flash! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 8! Enlightenment Paladin!" Sam observes that it's the Synchro Monster that Yūya used to teach him that there are no useless cards. Yūya activates the effect of "Enlightenment Paladin" to add the Magic Card: "Smile World" from his Graveyard to his hand. He holds up the "Smile World" card and he admits that he's thankful that Jack gave him the gift of Synchro Summoning, but Yūya will not abandon his father's Dueling. He Releases "Life Swordsman" to increase the ATK of "Enlightenment Paladin" by its ATK until the End Phase. "Enlightenment Paladin" rises to 3400 ATK and Yūya attacks "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" with "Enlightenment Paladin". Jack activates a Trap Card, "Red Crystal", preventing all "Red" monsters from being destroyed this turn. A red crystal with internal flames appears and a barrier of fire blocks the strike of "Enlightenment Paladin. Melissa notes that Jack took damage as his LP falls to 3500, but he protected his symbol, "Scarlight". She cheers that this is what you call a King's Duel. Yūya curses and he ends his turn, and the ATK of both "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" and "Enlightenment Paladin" return to normal. Shingo notes that Jack is certainly a tough nut to crack and Gongenzaka observes that Jack defied Yūya's father's Entertainment Dueling and the Synchro Monster that was Summoned by Jack's own card and he asks if Yūya has another plan ready. Yūya admits to himself that "Tuning Magician" was something else that he borrowed and he wonders what his own Dueling is.

Jack scoffs that "Enlightenment Paladin" doesn't deserve its title and he states that Yūya has no other choice but to kneel in front of the King. He declares his turn and draws, and then he activates the effect of "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" to destroy all Special Summoned monsters with 3000 or less ATK. "Scarlight" gathers the flames around its cast again and releases the fire from its fist with "Absolute Powerflame". Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Entermate Bubbulldog", destroying it to negate the destruction effect of "Scarlight". "Bubbulldog" explodes and releases pink bubbles that surround and protect "Enlightenment Paladin" and Melissa cheers that Yūya protected his own monster. Jack turns the Wheel of Fortune around and he declares that he'll battle instead, attacking "Enlightenment Paladin" with "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight"'s "Scorching Crimson Hell Burning" attack. "Scarlight" breathes a plume of flames and Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Entermate Gumgumouton"; preventing a monster he controls from being destroyed by battle once per turn. Green wool grows from "Gumgumouton" and protects "Enlightenment Paladin". Jack reminds Yūya that he will take the battle damage and Yūya's LP falls to 100. Melissa exclaims that Yūya's LP has finally hit 100. Jack turns back around and he Sets a card to end his turn. He notes that Yūya held on with Pendulum Effects and states, "If only that served as a way for you to surpass yourself!" In a control from at the Security headquarters, the doors suddenly explode inward and Tsukikage and "Getsuga" burst in and subdue the personal. Tsukikage sheathes his katana and he tells them not to worry; Tsukikage has not taken any of their lives. Sora enters the room on one of "Chimera"'s heads and he notes that this is definitely the main control system. Tsukikage nods and he activates a Magic Card, "Fire Release Technique". In her cell, Yuzu hears the alarms and she wonders if the rioting Commons have even made it here. Roget screams at his staff and asks what they are doing, ordering them to hurry up and apprehend the intruders with as many personal as necessary. His staff protests that their command over multiple groups has been disrupted and they are all acting out of order. Roget is shocked and he realizes that the Lancers went after the control system. In the streets, multiple Security officers come too and wonder what they are doing. The Commons don't notice or care about the change and they yell that they'll crush them. Flying over a riot, Melissa notes that during Jack and Yūya's heated Duel, Commons have started to overwhelm Security throughout City. Security officers turn and flee from the riots, and Melissa tries to get the Commons to quit rioting and focus on the Duel. Reiji rises from his chair and notes that if this keeps up the Commons riots will only escalate, before ordering the Lancers to follow him. Frank asks if Reiji is going to take out the Commons and Tanner asks if this will include Crow and Shinji, while Amanda begs them not to. Shun follows Reiji and Shingo stops to reassure them that even if they are strong, the Lancers won't go as far as to suppress the Commons with brute force. Gongenzaka explains that they're going out to stop them from fighting and Reira determinedly explains that that's what they came here for; not just to end fighting in City, but across all dimensions. The kids are all surprised to see Reira's confidence and Reira looks up at Yūya on a screen, stating that even Yūya is trying his hardest to bring smiles to everyone. He smiles at the kids and he tells them that he wants them to watch this; their fight to bring peace back to this world. Chojiro observes that it seems like the Lancers might be City's saviors and he suggests to the four kids that they watch and see what lies in store for their city and this world's future.

As they drive down the highway, Yūya remembers Jack stating that Yūya held on with Pendulum Effects and lamenting that, "If only that served as a way for you to surpass yourself!" Yūya muses on the possibility of using Pendulum to surpass himself. Then he remembers his Duel with Shūzō Hīragi, who told him that as the first one to open the door called Pendulum Summoning, Yūya needed to set an example for those who follow. Yūya realizes that that's right – he was the first person to perform a Pendulum Summon. His pendant swings as he declares that Pendulum Summoning isn't something that he borrowed from anyone else and his pendant glows beneath his Riding Duelist suit as he declares that those are his own words. The pendant swings in his mind's eye and church bells toll as he beholds a cloaked figure and he gasps. He tells Jack that he sees his own words now and Jack tells him to shout those words out loudly; what Yūya's own Dueling is.

Yūya declares his turn and he draws, then he re-Sets the already Set Scale 1 "Entermate Gumgumouton" with the Scale 3 "Antithesis Magician", allowing him to simultaneously Summon Level 2 monsters. He chants, "Swing, pendulum of the soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! Entermate Cheermole!" He tells the figure to wait; Yūya will call him right now.

He declares that he is tuning the Level 2 "Cheermole" with the Level 8 "Enlightenment Paladin". Jack is shocked, protesting that "Enlightenment Paladin" is not a Tuner monster. Yūya explains that there is a Synchro Monster that can be Synchro Summoned by Releasing a Pendulum Summoned Pendulum Monster and a Synchro Monster as he removes a card from his Extra Deck – a Synchro-Pendulum Monster, "Nirvana High Paladin". Jack is truly floored and Yūya chants, "From the peaceful depths of time, release your light throughout this world and revive! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 10! Sublime super paladin, Nirvana High Paladin!" "Nirvana High Paladin" appears with 3300 ATK and a circular rainbow appears behind it. Jack gasps and Melissa narrates that Yūya surprisingly not only Pendulum Summoned, but he also Synchro Summoned without a Tuner monster. Jack smiles and he comments that Yūya is truly interesting. Yūya attacks "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" with "Nirvana High Paladin". "Nirvana High Paladin" extends the tip of its greatsword and a twister of green and purple light extends past the blade as it attacks with "Truth Sukhavati".

Smoke extends down the highway and Jack falls to 3200 LP. He activates a Continuous Trap Card, "King Scarlet", which prevents the destruction of "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" and the Special Summons itself as a Tuner monster. "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" swoops out of the smoke and a flaming sigil appears on the field. Melissa states that this is another surprise; Jack managed to negate the destruction and then Special Summon a Trap Card as a Tuner monster. Yūya ends his turn. Frank and Tanner gasp that Yūya and Jack are amazing and Amanda cries that they take a hit and send another one back. Chojiro states that it's a fierce clashing of their strongest weapons. The Tops comment that it's as expected of the finals, while the Commons cheer that they can't stop watching this. Jack remarks that it looks like Yūya's finally truly started speaking with his own words. He veers off into a blocked-off side lane and he declares that he shall answer Yūya with his own Dueling. He bursts through the barrier and Yūya, still on the main road, calls out to Jack. Jack declares his turn and he draws, then he Summons the Tuner monster "Mirror Resonator". Yūya observes that Jack has two Tuner monsters and Melissa asks what Jack will do, but then she sees that Jack's path ends in a sheer drop and she cries that there's nowhere left for the King to go. Yūya cries Jack's name again, but Jack is unworried; flames glow in his eyes as he declares that he will make his own path. He tells Yūya to listen to the roar of his soul and extends his D-Wheel control handles in a similar manner to how Crow did when flying on the Blackbird. Slats open on the side of his D-Wheel as Jack asks if Yūya can feel his life's energy. He tells him to bear witness; this is his Dueling and the Phoenix Whirlwind becomes cloaked in crimson light as Jack declares that this is the cry of a ruler who searches for a challenge without end. He roars off the edge and Melissa gasps that Jack is flying.

Jack declares that he is Double Tuning the Level 8 "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" with the Level 1 "Mirror Resonator" and "King Scarlet". The announcement shocks everyone, and Yūya is shocked at the idea of Double Tuning. The two Tuner monsters erupt into flaming rings and surround "Scarlight" as Jack chants, "The King and devil now cross here! Call upon the soul of the Crimson Dragon, and raise the roar of creation itself!" As he chants, the Crimson Dragon flies behind "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" and a plume of fire rather than a line of light spears down the tuning rings. Jack chants, "Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 10! Red Daemon's Dragon Tryant!", "Tyrant" appears with 3500 ATK as Jack lands on the other side of the gap. Melissa cries that Jack's symbol has been powered up by Double Tuning. The Commons cheer that Jack is amazing and the Tops gasp that this is the power of the King. Sam observes that Jack is still evolving and Chojiro theorizes that being the Duel King isn't the top for Jack. What comes off as arrogance on Jack's part is probably because there wasn't an opponent that could push him higher, and now Yūya has finally appeared. Jack accelerates ahead of Yūya and he swivels around to activate the effect of "Tyrant"; once per turn it can destroy all other cards on the field. "Tyrant" slams its palm into the ground and unleashes a wave of fire with "Absolute Power Inferno" destroying "Nirvana High Paladin" and "Antithesis Magician" and "Gumgumouton" in the Pendulum Zones. Melissa is shocked that Jack could destroy everything, even Pendulum Cards.

Yūya activates the effect of "Nirvana High Paladin" since it was destroyed; allowing him to Set it in a Pendulum Zone. "Nirvana High Paladin" rises from a rainbow square to take its place in a Pendulum Zone. Jack declares his Battle Phase and attacks directly with "Tyrant". "Red Daemon's Dragon Tryant" glows with flame and breathes a tide of flame as it attacks with "Infernal Crimson Hell Tide". Yūya quickly grabs an Action Card and he activates the Action Magic "Evasion" to negate the attack. But Jack activates another effect of "Tyrant" is it is attacking, negating the activation of a Magic Card and destroying it, then increasing its ATK by 500. "Tyrant" rises to 4000 ATK. Yūya activates the effect of "Acrobat Magician" in response since a Magic Card was negated, Special Summoning it from his hand in Defense Position. Jack simply attacks "Acrobat Magician" with "Tyrant" and destroys it. Yūya explains that the destroyed "Acrobat Magician" will also be Set in a Pendulum Zone after being destroyed, and his Duel Disk Magics out the rainbow colored "PENDULUM". Jack swivels back to the front and he asks if Yūya was even prepared for that much. He Sets a card and he ends his turn.

Yūya races up beside Jack and he freely admits that he didn't plan for it at all; he only did all that he was capable of. Jack smiles and states that in that case it's even more interesting; Yūya has just now started to communicate his own will. "My own will?" Yūya asks. Jack states that that's right, and he explains that Dueling is a conversation with the opponent. The words Yūya uses there can be ones learned from someone else, a statement that causes Yūya to gasp. Jack stresses the point that what's important is that Yūya use those properly to convey his own will to his opponent. That is the true meaning of a Duel. Yūya muses on using the words of others to convey his own will, and he admits to himself that the first person who taught him the words that he uses in Dueling was his father. But he didn't just learn from his father, Principal Hīragi, his mother, Gongenzaka, Yuzu, from everyone Yūya has fought this far. Then he gasps as he remembers Jack stating that the true King must always carry the feelings of those who were defeated with him and Yūya realizes that whether he lost or won Dueling has been what made him who he is. The Dueling that he's had up until now isn't something that he's made alone. As Gongenzaka and Shingo block off a mob of Commons from Security with "Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei", "Superheavy Samurai Horagai", "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian", "Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine" and "Abyss Actor - Sassy Rookie", Yūya thinks that everyone was there. Shun swoops in from "Raid Raptors - Devil Eagle" to drop in between Crow and Shinji, Damon, and Tony. Yūya thinks that it was because everyone was there that he was able to make it this far as Sora and Tsukikage open the door to Yuzu's cell. Yuzu smiles happily as Yūya thinks that even though he was the first to Pendulum Summon it wouldn't have made it this far on his power alone. Meanwhile, Reiji and Reira stand outside the Security Headquarters. Yūya tells Jack that he truly gets what a Dueling that isn't borrowed or conceited is now. He declares his turn and he draws "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". He explains that since he already has the Scale 2 "Acrobat Magician" and the Scale 8 "Nirvana High Paladin" in his Pendulum Zones he is allowed to 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 monsters!" Five streaks of light emerge from the portal and swirl over Yūya before colliding and descending in a twister of light, revealing "Entermate Gumgumouton", "Entermate Bubbulldog", "Entermate Radish Horse", "Timesword Magician" and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", all in Attack Position. Jack and Melissa are shocked that Yūya could simultaneously Summon five monsters and Chojiro and the kids cheer the move. The Tops and the Commons are awestruck and Yūya declares that he's fighting alongside everyone.

Yūya Sakaki vs. Jack Atlas
Duel continues from the previous episode. Jack has 4000 LP remaining and 2 cards in his hand, and controls "Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight" in Attack position and 1 face-down card. Yūya has 4000 LP remaining and 2 cards in his hand, and controls "Entermate Radish Horse" and "Timesword Magician" in Attack position. He also has "Entermate Gumgumouton" and "Entermate Bubbulldog" in his Pendulum Zones. The five Duel Chasers all have 4000 LP remaining, and control 3 copies of "Goyo Emperor" each.

Turn 4: Jack

Jack just activated the effect of "Scarlight", letting him destroy all other Special Summoned monsters on the field with ATK less than or equal to its own and inflict damage to his opponents equal to the number of destroyed monsters times 500. 15 copies of "Goyo Emperor" from Security's field, and "Radish Horse" and "Timesword Magician" from Yūya's field are destroyed, inflicting 8500 damage to all opponents (Duel Chasers x5: 4000 → 0 LP). Yūya finds and activates the Action Card "Acceleration", reducing the effect damage to 0. "Scarlight" attacks Yūya directly (Yūya: 4000 → 1000 LP). Yūya finds and activates the Action Card "Damage Draw", allowing him to draw two cards since he took more than 2000 damage. Jack Sets a card.

Turn 5: Yūya

Yūya draws "Tuning Magician". Yūya Pendulum Summons "Timesword Magician" and "Radish Horse" from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He Normal Summons "Tuning Magician". The effect of "Tuning Magician" activates, increasing Jack's LP by 400 and inflicting 400 damage to Yūya (Jack: 4000 → 4400 LP, Yūya: 1000 → 600 LP). As Jack's LP increased, Yūya Special Summons "Entermate Life Swordsman" in Attack Position via its own effect; it gains ATK equal to the LP Jack gained ("Life Swordsman": 0 → 400 ATK). Yūya then activates the effect of "Radish Horse", which lets him decrease the ATK of a monster with 2500 or more ATK by 500 and increase the ATK of another by the same amount until the End Phase. He targets "Scarlight" and "Life Swordsman" ("Scarlight": 3000 → 2500 ATK, "Life Swordsman": 400 → 900 ATK). Yūya tunes the Level 4 "Radish Horse" and Level 3 "Timesword Magician" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Tuning Magician" to Synchro Summon "Enlightenment Paladin" in Attack Position. The effect of "Enlightenment Paladin" activates as it was Synchro Summoned using a "Magician" monster, letting Yūya add a Magic Card from his Graveyard to his hand. Yūya retrieves "Smile World" from his Graveyard. Yūya activates the other effect of "Life Swordsman", Releasing it to increase the ATK of a monster he controls equal to the ATK of "Life Swordsman" until the End Phase. He targets "Enlightenment Paladin" ("Enlightenment Paladin": 2500 → 3400 ATK). "Enlightenment Paladin" attacks "Scarlight", but Jack activates his face-down "Red Crystal", preventing "Red" monsters from being destroyed this turn (Jack: 4400 → 3500 LP).

Turn 6: Jack

Jack activates the effect of "Scarlight", letting him destroy all other Special Summoned monsters on the field with ATK less than or equal to its own and inflict damage to his opponents equal to the number of destroyed monsters times 500. Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Bubbulldog" in his Pendulum Zone, destroying itself to negate the destruction of "Enlightenment Paladin". "Scarlight" attacks "Enlightenment Paladin", but Yūya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Gumgumouton", negating the destuction of "Enlightenment Paladin" (Yūya: 600 → 100 LP). Jack sets a card.

Turn 7: Yūya

Yūya draws and subsequently places "Antithesis Magician" in his Pendulum Zones. Yūya Pendulum Summons "Entermate Cheermole". Yūya tunes the Pendulum Summoned "Cheermole" and "Enlightenment Paladin" to Synchro Summon "Nirvana High Paladin" in Attack Position. "Nirvana High" attacks "Scarlight", but Jack activates his face-down "King Scarlet", preventing the destruction of "Scarlight" and Special Summon it as a monster in Defense position (Jack: 3500 → 3200 LP).

Turn 8: Jack Jack Normal Summons "Mirror Resonator". Jack double tunes the Level 8 "Scarlight" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "King Scarlet" and the level 1 Tuner monster "Mirror Resonator" to Synchro Summon "Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant" in Attack Position. Jack activates its effect, destroying all other cards on the field. "Nirvana High", "Gumgumouton" and "Antithesis" are destroyed. The effect of "Nirvana High" activates, placing itself in a Pendulum Zone since it was destroyed. "Tyrant" attacks directly, but Yūya finds and subsequently activates the Action Card "Evasion" to negate the attack. Jack activates the other effect of "Tyrant" to negate a Magic/Trap Card that was activated and destroy it, then gaining 500 ATK ("Tyrant": 3500 → 4000 ATK). As the effect of a Magic Card was negated, Yūya Special Summons "Acrobat Magician" from his hand in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Tyrant" attacks and destroys "Acrobat". The effect of "Acrobat" activates, as it was destroyed, allowing Yūya to place it in his Pendulum Zone.

Turn 9: Yūya

Yūya draws "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Yūya Pendulum Summons "Bubbulldog", "Radish Horse", "Gumgumouton", and "Timesword" from his Extra Deck, and "Odd-Eyes" from his hand, all in Attack Position.
