Featured Duel :
Eliphas vs. Yuma Tsukumo
Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 5: Eliphas
"New Orders 12 Etheric Mahes" (4000/3000) attacks "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory" (2800/2500 → 5800/2500), with "Rank Domination" activating, reducing the ATK of "Utopia Ray Victory" by 1000 for each Rank between the two monsters until the End Phase (5800 → 0). Yuma activates the effect of "Rainbow Kuriboh" from his hand as an opponent's Xyz Monster declared an attack. He can equip "Rainbow Kuriboh" to the attacking monsters and prevent it from attacking. During the End Phase, all monsters Special Summoned by the effect of "Mahes", are attached to "Mahes" as Overlay Units. Eliphas Sets a card.

Turn 6: Yuma
Yuma draws (Yuma's Deck: 33 → 32) and then activates "Xyz Treasure", letting him draw a card for each Xyz Monster on the field; since there are two, he draws two cards (Yuma's Deck: 32 → 30). He draws "Stealth Strike" and "Double or Nothing!". He activates "Stealth Strike", which allows him to target one Xyz Monster he controls and allow it to attack the opponent directly this turn, but its ATK is halved until the End Phase. Yuma targets "Utopia Ray Victory" (2800 → 1400) and declares a direct attack. Eliphas activates his face-down "Rank Wall", which allows him to negate an attack and end the Battle Phase immediately if the opponent's monster is an Xyz Monster and its Rank is lower than the Rank of the Xyz Monster he controls. Yuma Sets two cards.


Turn 1: Vector
Vector Normal Summons "Gorgonic Ghoul" (100/???). Since he controls a "Gorgonic Ghoul", Vector Special Summons two more copies of "Gorgonic Ghoul" (100/??? each) from his hand via their own effects by paying 300 Life Points for each (Vector 4000 → 3400). Vector activates "Molting Away from Status Quo" as he controls three monsters with the same Level. He can look at his opponent's Deck and Special Summon a monster with the same Level from it to his side of the field. Vector Special Summons "Mermaid Shark" (100/300) in Attack Position. Vector Sets two cards.

Turn 2: Shark
Shark Normal Summons "Spear Shark" (1600/1400). Since he controls a WATER monster, Shark Special Summons two copies of "Silent Angler" (800/1400) from his hand via their own effects. "Spear Shark" attacks "Gorgonic Ghoul", but Vector activates his face-down "Gorgonic Temptation" as he controls a "Gorgonic" monster, changing the attack target to "Mermaid Shark" (Vector 3400 → 1900). Vector activates his face-down "Conspiratorial Catastrophe", sending all monsters with more ATK than "Mermaid Shark" from Shark's Deck and field to the Graveyard as he took 1000 or more battle damage from a battle involving a monster that he controls but that his opponent owns.[Notes 2] Shark Sets a card.

Turn 3: Vector
Vector Normal Summons "Gorgonic Cerberus" (1300/???), activating its effect to change the Levels of all other monsters he controls to 3. Vector overlays his two Level 3 monsters two times to Xyz Summon two copies of "Gorgonic Guardian" (1600/1200) in Attack Position. Vector attacks directly with both "Gorgonic Guardians" (Shark 4000 → 800).

Turn 4: Shark
Shark activates the effects of two copies of "Geyser Shark" in his Graveyard, using them to Xyz Summon "Number 73: Abyss Splash" (2400/1400) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to double its ATK (2400 → 4800). Vector activates the effect of one of his "Gorgonic Guardians", detaching an Overlay Unit to make the ATK of "Abyss Splash" 0 and negate its effect, but Shark activates his face-down "Overlay Wedge" negating the effect as it was activated by detaching an Overlay Unit and preventing other monsters from activating effects by detaching Overlay Units this turn, unless that monster is the one on the field with the highest Rank. "Abyss Splash" attacks one "Gorgonic Guardian" and destroys it (Vector 1900 → 0).
