"Final Battle Above the Clouds" is the fifty-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. It first aired in Japan on June 20, 2018.

Playmaker manages to locate Bohman, and challenges him to a Duel in order to take back Jin's consciousness. Having Dueled Bohman before, Playmaker expects that he'll use the same tactics. However, Bohman has become a much stronger Duelist than before, and drives Playmaker into a corner. Bohman then starts talking about his past. Just who is he...

Featured Duel: Playmaker vs. Bohman

The Duel is conducted as a Master Duel.

Turn 1: Bohman
As there are no monsters in the Main Monster Zones, Bohman Special Summons "Hydradrive Booster" (0/0) from his hand by its own effect. Bohman uses "Hydradrive Booster" to Link Summon "Burn Hydradrive" (1000/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Bohman Normal Summons "Hydradrive Booster" (0/0). Bohman uses "Hydradrive Booster" to Link Summon "Coolant Hydradrive" (1000/↓) to the zone the bottom Link Arrow of "Burn Hydradrive" points to. Bohman activates the Link Spell Card "Judgment Arrows" (↖↑↗) at the Spell & Trap Zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Coolant Hydradrive" points to. Bohman uses "Burn Hydradrive" and "Coolant Hydradrive" to Link Summon "Twin Hydradrive Knight" (1800/←→) to the zone a Link Arrow of "Judgment Arrows" points to. As "Twin Hydradrive Knight" was Link Summoned, Bohman activates its effect to change its Attribute to that of the original Attributes of the Link Monsters used for its Link Summon, in this case both FIRE and WATER. Bohman Sets two cards.

Turn 2: Playmaker
Playmaker Normal Summons "Flame Buffalo" (1400/???). Playmaker activates the effect of "Cathy Eve L2" in his hand, reducing the Level of a Level 3 or higher monster he controls by 2, then Special Summoning "Cathy Eve L2" (800/600). He reduces the Level of "Flame Buffalo" ("Flame Buffalo": Level 3 → 1). Playmaker uses "Flame Buffalo" to Link Summon "Linkuriboh" (300/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Flame Buffalo" left the field, Playmaker activates its effect, discarding a Cyberse monster to draw two cards. He discards "Clock Wyvern". As Playmaker controls two or more monsters with the same Type, he Special Summons "Cyberse Whitehat" (1800/2400). Playmaker uses "Cyberse Whitehat" and "Cathy Eve L2" to Link Summon "Update Jammer" (2000/←↑) to the zone the bottom Link Arrow of "Linkuriboh" points to. As "Cyberse Whitehat" was sent to the GY as material for a Link Summon, Playmaker activates its effect, reducing the ATK of all monsters Bohman controls by 1000 ("Twin Hydradrive Knight": 1800 → 800 ATK).

"Update Jammer" attacks "Twin Hydradrive Knight". As a Link Monster it points to battled, the effect of "Judgment Arrows" doubles its ATK during damage calculation ("Twin Hydradrive Knight": 800 → 1600 ATK). As a Cyberse monster battled, Playmaker activates the effect of "Update Jammer", negating the effects of all other cards on the field, and returning the ATK and DEF of the battling monsters to their original ATK and DEF ("Twin Hydradrive Knight": 1600 → 1800 ATK). The attack continues and "Twin Hydradrive Knight" is destroyed (Bohman: 4000 → 3800 LP). As Bohman's monster was destroyed by battle, Playmaker activates the effect of "Update Jammer", inflicting 1000 damage to Bohman (Bohman: 3800 → 2800 LP). "Linkuriboh" attacks Bohman directly (Bohman: 2800 → 2500 LP). Playmaker Sets two cards.
