Playmaker vs. Prototype Ai-A

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 2: Playmaker
Playmaker activates the effect of "Dual Assembwurm" in his GY, banishing two Cyberse monsters from his GY to Special Summon it with its ATK halved. He banishes "Linkslayer" and "Dotscaper" in his GY to Special Summon "Dual Assembwurm" (2800 → 1400/1000) in Attack Position. As "Dotscaper" was banished, Playmaker activates its effect, Special Summoning it in Defense Position (0/2100). Playmaker activates the effect of "Cynet Defrag" in his GY, paying half his LP to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in his GY in Defense Position and equip "Cynet Defrag" to that monster (Playmaker: 4000 → 2000 LP). He Special Summons the Level 4 "Flick Clown" (1000/1400). As Playmaker has no cards in his hand, he activates the effect of "Flick Clown", paying 1000 LP to draw a card (Playmaker: 2000 → 1000 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 "Vector Square Archfiend" and adds it to his Extra Deck.

Playmaker uses "Dual Assembwurm", "Dotscaper", and "Flick Clown" to Link Summon "Vector Square Archfiend" (2400/↙↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone. Playmaker Normal Summons "Cyberse Wizard" (1800/800) to the zone the bottom-left Link Arrow of "Vector Square Archfiend" points to. "Cyberse Wizard" attacks and destroys "Tentacluster Drillworm". "Vector Square Archfiend" attacks and destroys "Tentacluster Nautilus" (Ai-A: 3500 → 1100 LP). As "Vector Square Archfiend" destroyed a monster by battle, Playmaker activates its effect, Tributing a monster to Special Summon the destroyed monster to an opponent's zone it points to and letting "Vector Square Archfiend" attack that monster again. He Tributes "Cyberse Wizard" to Special Summon "Nautilus" to the zone the top-center Link Arrow of "Vector Square Archfiend" points to. "Vector Square Archfiend" attacks and destroys "Nautilus" (Ai-A: 1100 → 0 LP).

The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.

Turn 1: Blue Angel
Blue Angel activates the Field Spell Card "Trickstar Light Stage". As "Light Stage" was activated, Blue Angel adds a "Trickstar" monster from her Deck to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Lilybell". As "Lilybell" was added to her hand by a method other than drawing, Blue Angel activates its effect, Special Summoning it (800/2000). Blue Angel Normal Summons "Trickstar Candina" (1800/400). As it was Normal Summoned, Blue Angel activates the effect of "Candina", adding a "Trickstar" card from her deck to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Vision". Blue Angel uses "Candina" and "Lilybell" to Link Summon "Trickstar Holly Angel" (2000/↙↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Blue Angel activates the Spell Card "Trickstar Vision", Special Summoning a "Trickstar" monster from her hand with its effects negated and ATK halved, then letting both players draw a card. Blue Angel Special Summons "Trickstar Narkissus" (1000 → 500/1800), draws, then subsequently Sets her drawn card. Blue Angel activates the effect of "Trickstar Lycoris" in her hand, Special Summoning it, then returning a "Trickstar" monster she controls to her hand. Blue Angel returns "Narkissus" to her hand and Special Summons "Lycoris" (1600/1200) to the zone the bottom-left Link Arrow of "Holly Angel" points to. As a "Trickstar" monster was Special Summoned to a zone "Holly Angel" points to, its effect inflicts 200 damage to Ai-B (Ai-B: 4000 → 3800 LP). As a "Trickstar" monster inflicted effect damage to Ai-B, the effect of "Light Stage" inflicts 200 more damage (Ai-B: 3800 → 3600 LP). As Ai-B took effect damage, Blue Angel activates the effect of "Narkissus" in her hand, Special Summoning it (1000/1800).

Turn 2: Ai-B
Ai-B draws. As a card was added to Ai-B's hand, the effect of "Lycoris" inflicts 200 damage to it for each card added, with the effect of "Light Stage" inflicting 200 more damage (Ai-B: 3600 → 3400 → 3200 LP). As Ai-B took damage from the effect of a "Trickstar" monster, the effect of "Holly Angel" activates, increasing its ATK equal to the damage taken until the End Phase ("Holly Angel": 2000 → 2200 ATK). Ai-B activates the Continuous Spell Card "Abyss Invitation". Ai-B activates the effect of "Tentacluster Darkwhip" (100/500) in its hand, paying 500 LP to Special Summon it (Ai-B: 3200 → 2700 LP). As a monster in Ai-B's hand activated its effect, the effect of "Narkissus" inflicts 200 damage after the effect resolves (Ai-B: 2700 → 2500 LP). As a player took 500 or less effect damage, the effect of "Abyss Invitation" activates, inflicting 200 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 4000 → 3800 LP). The effect of "Light Stage" inflicts damage (Ai-B: 2500 → 2300 LP), followed by the effect of "Holly Angel" ("Holly Angel": 2200 → 2400 ATK), then the effect of "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 3800 → 3600 LP). Ai-B activates the Spell Card "Machine Duplication", Special Summoning two copies of a Machine monster with 500 or less ATK he controls from its Deck. It Special Summons two more copies of "Darkwhip" (100/500 each).

Ai-B uses the three copies of "Darkwhip" to Link Summon "Tentacluster Nautilus" (0/↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Nautilus" was Link Summoned, Ai-B activates its effect, Special Summoning a "Tentacluster" monster from its hand to a zone it points to. It Special Summons "Tentacluster Blastsucker" (400/400) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Nautilus" points to. Ai-B Normal Summons a second copy of "Blastsucker" to the zone the bottom-left Link Arrow of "Nautilus" points to. Ai-B activates the effect of "Nautilus", targeting and destroying all monsters it points to. As a Link Monster's effect that targets it on the field is activated, Ai-B activates the effect of "Blastsucker", destroying it to inflict 400 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 3600 → 3200 LP). The effect of "Abyss Invitation" then activates (Blue Angel: 3200 → 3000 LP). Ai-B activates the effect of the other "Blastsucker", with the effect of "Abyss Invitation" following after (Blue Angel: 3000 → 2600 → 2400 LP). Ai-B activates the effect of the first "Blastsucker" in its GY, banishing it to inflict 400 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 2400 → 2000 LP), followed by the effect of "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 2000 → 1800 LP). As a monster in Ai-B's GY activated its effect, the effect of "Narkissus" inflicts 200 damage to Ai-B (Ai-B: 2300 → 2100 LP), followed by the effect of "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 1800 → 1600 LP), then "Light Stage" (Ai-B: 2100 → 1900 LP), then "Abyss Invitation" again (Blue Angel: 1600 → 1400 LP), then "Holly Angel" ("Holly Angel": 2400 → 2600 ATK). Ai-B activates the effect of the second "Blastsucker" in his GY (Blue Angel: 1400 → 1000 LP), then the effects of "Abyss Invitation", "Narkissus", and "Abyss Invitation" activate/apply once again in successive order, followed by "Light Stage" and "Abyss Invitation" once again, and then "Holly Angel" following after (Blue Angel: 1400 → 1000 → 800 → 600 → 400 LP; Ai-B: 1900 → 1700 → 1500 LP; "Holly Angel": 2600 → 2800 ATK).

Ai-B activates the Continuous Spell Card "Flexible Tentacluster". While active, Ai-B will not take the first instance of battle damage it would take per turn. It also allows Ai-B to Special Summon one of its banished "Tentacluster" monsters. It activates the latter effect, Special Summoning "Blastsucker" (400/400). "Blastsucker" attacks "Lycoris". As Ai-B's monster is attacking, Blue Angel activates her face-down "Trickstar Cascade", returning a "Trickstar" card to her hand to negate the attack. She returns "Light Stage" to her hand.

Turn 3: Blue Angel
Blue Angel Normal Summons "Candina" (1800/400). As it was Normal Summoned, she activates the effect of "Candina", adding a "Trickstar" card from her Deck to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Temptation". Blue Angel uses "Narkissus" and "Lycoris" to Link Summon "Trickstar Black Catbat" (2000/←→) to the zone the bottom-left Link Arrow of "Holly Angel" points to. The first effect of "Holly Angel" applies (Ai-B: 1500 → 1300 LP), followed by "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 400 → 200 LP), then the third effect of "Holly Angel" ("Holly Angel": 2000 → 2200 ATK). As Ai-B took damage from the effect of a "Trickstar" monster, the effect of "Black Catbat" activates, decreasing the ATK of each of Ai-B's monsters by 200 for each monster "Black Catbat" points to ("Blastsucker": 400 → 200 ATK). As Blue Angel controls a "Trickstar" monster, she activates the Quick-Play Spell Card "Trickstar Temptation", returning a monster with ATK different from its original ATK to the hand. Blue Angel returns "Blastsucker".

"Holly Angel" attacks and destroys "Nautilus", with the effect of "Flexible Tentacluster" causing Ai-B to take no battle damage from that attack. "Black Catbat" attacks directly (Ai-B: 1300 → 0 LP).
