"Altergeist that Hides in the Darkness" is the fifteenth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. It first aired in Japan on August 23, 2017. It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on the same day.
Ghost Girl carries out an unpredictable Duel with her phantasmagorical tactics. Meanwhile, Playmaker calmly analyzes Ghost Girl's moves and looks for a chance to use Storm Access. Thus, a battle of wits unfolds between the two as they try to outsmart one other. Who will ultimately triumph?!
Featured Duel: Playmaker vs. Ghost Girl
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Turn 3: Ghost Girl
"Altergeist Primebanshee" attacks Playmaker directly. As Ghost Girl's monster is attacking directly, Playmaker activates the effect of "Lockout Gardna", Special Summoning it in Attack Position (1000/1000). A replay occurs and Ghost Girl chooses not to attack.
Turn 4: Playmaker
Playmaker draws "Balancer Lord". Ghost Girl activates her face-down Continuous Trap Card "Altergeist Protocol", preventing the activation and effects of her "Altergeist" cards from being negated. Ghost Girl activates the effect of "Primebanshee", Tributing an "Altergeist" monster to Special Summon another "Altergeist" monster from her Deck to a zone that "Primebanshee" points to. She Tributes "Altergeist Meluseek" and Special Summons "Altergeist Silquitous" (800/1500) in Defense Position. As "Meluseek" was sent to the GY, Ghost Girl activates its effect, adding an "Altergeist" monster from her Deck to her hand. She adds "Altergeist Kunquery".
As Ghost Girl controls a monster in the Extra Monster Zone, and he does not, Playmaker Special Summons "Backlinker" (1600/0) by its own effect. Playmaker activates the effect of "Backlinker", Tributing it to send all monsters in the Extra Monster Zone to the GY, but Ghost Girl activates the effect of "Protocol", sending "Altergeist Marionetter" to the GY to negate the activation. As a Cyberse monster activated its effect, and Ghost Girl negated it, Playmaker activates the effect of "Striping Partner" in his hand, Special Summoning it (1200/1600). As "Striping Partner" was Special Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from his GY. Playmaker tries to Special Summon the Level 3 "Backlinker", but Ghost Girl activates the effect of "Silquitous", returning an "Altergeist" card she controls to her hand to return a card Playmaker controls to his hand. She returns "Protocol" to her hand and targets "Striping Partner", but as a Cyberse monster Playmaker controls was targeted by the effect of Ghost Girl's monster, Playmaker activates the effect of "Lockout Gardna", negating the effects of both monsters. He negates the effects of "Striping Partner" and "Silquitous". Emma's hand contains "Kunquery" and "Protocol". Playmaker uses "Lockout Gardna" and "Striping Partner" to Link Summon "Underclock Taker" (1000/←↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Playmaker Normal Summons "Balancer Lord" (1700/1200) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Underclock Taker" points to. Playmaker activates the effect of "Underclock Taker", decreasing the ATK of a monster Ghost Girl controls by the current ATK of a monster that "Underclock Taker" points to. He tries to decrease the ATK of "Primebanshee" by the ATK of "Balancer Lord" its bottom-center Link Arrow points to, but Ghost Girl activates her face-down Trap Card "Altergeist Camouflage", equipping it to "Primebanshee". "Primebanshee" cannot be attacked, but it does not prevent Playmaker from attacking Ghost Girl directly, and all effects that target "Primebanshee" will be negated. Playmaker pays 1000 LP to activate the effect of "Balancer Lord", allowing Playmaker to Normal Summon a Cyberse monster in addition to his Normal Summon/Set (Playmaker: 1900 → 900 LP). Ghost Girl activates her Skill "Secret Cure", to excavate cards from her Deck, until she excavates a monster. That monster is added to her hand, both players gain LP equal to its ATK, and all other cards are sent to the GY. Ghost Girl excavates "Camouflage", sends it to the GY, then excavates "Meluseek" (Ghost Girl: 4000 → 4500 LP; Playmaker: 900 → 1400 LP). Playmaker Normal Summons "Scan Doll" (100/1600). As "Scan Doll" was Normal Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, paying 1000 LP to activate a Trap Card in Ghost Girl's GY. He activates "Camouflage" in Ghost Girl's GY, equipping it to "Silquitous" (Playmaker: 1400 → 400 LP).
At this point, Playmaker enters the Data Storm. As his LP is 1000 or lower, Playmaker activates his Skill "Storm Access", to randomly access a card within a Data Storm. Playmaker obtains "Excode Talker" and adds it to his Extra Deck.
Playmaker uses the Link-2 "Underclock Taker" and "Balancer Lord" to Link Summon "Excode Talker" (2300/←↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Excode Talker" was Link Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, preventing the use of a number of Main Monster Zones up to the number of cards in the Extra Monster Zones while "Excode Talker" is on the field. Two monsters are in the Extra Monster Zones, so Playmaker prevents the use of Ghost Girl's remaining two Main Monster Zones. Playmaker activates the effect of "Scan Doll", Tributing it to allow a monster he controls to attack twice this turn. He targets "Excode Talker". "Excode Talker" attacks Ghost Girl directly twice (Ghost Girl: 4500 → 2200 → 0 LP).
