Featured Duels
The Gore vs Dr. Genome
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Turn 5: Dr. Genome
Genome activates the effect of "Helixx Necro Darwin" in his GY, Special Summoning it to his zone a Link Monster points to. He Special Summons it (1800/←↑) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Helixx Gothiclone" points to. As a Link Monster was Special Summoned from the GY, Genome activates his Skill "Minus Mitosis", making Gore's LP and one of his monsters' ATK become half their current values. He halves the ATK of "Gouki Thunder Ogre" and Gore's LP ("Thunder Ogre": 3400 → 1700 ATK, Gore: 200 → 100 LP).
Turn 6: Gore
Gore draws and subsequently activates the Spell "Gouki Face Turn", targeting a "Gouki" card he controls and a "Gouki" monster in his GY, destroying that card on the field, then Special Summoning that other monster from the GY. He targets "Gouki Dark Mask" he controls and "Gouki Suprex" in his GY, destroying "Dark Mask", then Special Summoning "Suprex" (1800/0). Gore sets "Suprex" and the Link-3 "Thunder Ogre" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Gouki The Master Ogre" (2800/↑↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Suprex" was sent from the field to the GY, Gore activates its effect, adding a different "Gouki" card from his Deck to his hand. He adds an unknown card. Gore activates the Spell "Gouki Re-Match", targeting two "Gouki" monsters in his GY with different Levels and Special Summoning them in Defense Position. He targets and Special Summons the Level 3 "Gouki Twistcobra" (1600/0) and the Level 5 "Gouki Riscorpio" (2300/0) to the zones the bottom-center and bottom-left Link Arrows of "Master Ogre" points to. Gore activates the effect of "Master Ogre", returning to the hand any number of "Gouki" monsters he controls that "Master Ogre" points to, then targeting the same number of face-up cards Genome controls to negate their effects until the end of this turn. He returns "Twistcobra" and "Riscorpio", then targets and negates the effects of "Gothiclone" and "Necro Darwin". If Genome controls a face-up monster, the effect of "Master Ogre" makes it only able to target Genome's monster with the highest ATK for attacks. The effect of "Master Ogre" allows it to attack all monsters Genome controls, once each. "Master Ogre" attacks and destroys "Necro Darwin" (Genome: 2300 → 1300 LP). "Master Ogre" attacks and destroys "Gothiclone" (Genome: 1300 → 0 LP).
The Gore vs. Knight of Hanoi
The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel and begins from an unspecified turn.
Gore's turn
"Gouki The Master Ogre" attacks and destroys the Knight of Hanoi's "Jack Wyvern" (Knight of Hanoi: 1000 → 0 LP).
