Randsborg starts the Duel, announcing that he will give her no mercy. After Akiza Summons "[[Black Rose Dragon (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]", [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei's]] dragon mark begins to react, while a strong breeze flows around the crowd, who stare in surprise. Randsborg and the audience recognize it as the card used by the Black Rose Witch. [[Greiger]], who watches the duel with Yusei, tells him that "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" is a creature of ill omen that brings forth ruin and destruction. He also notes that Yusei seems to be familiar with it.

The audience lighten up and continue to cheer for Randsborg as he seemingly gains the upper hand and drops Akiza's [[Life PointsLP]] to 50. But Akiza swiftly wins the next turn after reviving "[[Black Rose Dragon]]".

Randsborg draws "[[Masked Knight LV3 (anime)|Masked Knight LV3]]" and subsequently [[Normal Summons Summon]]s it (1500/800) in [[Attack Position]]. He then activates the second effect of "Masked Knight LV3" to inflict 400 damage to Akiza (Akiza 4000 → 3600) at the cost of forbidding himself from attacking with "Masked Knight LV3" this turn. Randsborg then activates "[[Level Up! (anime)|Level Up!]]" to send "[[Masked Knight LV3]]" to the [[Graveyard ]] and [[Special Summon ]] "[[Masked Knight LV5 (anime)|Masked Knight LV5]]" (2300/1300) in Attack Position, [[ignoring the Summoning conditions]]. Randsborg then activates the second effect of "[[Masked Knight LV5]]" to inflict 1000 damage to Akiza (Akiza 3600 → 2600) at the cost of forbidding himself from attacking with "Masked Knight LV5" this turn. Randsborg then [[Set]]s a card ("[[Sakuretsu Armor (anime)|Sakuretsu Armor]]").

Akiza draws "[[Black Garden]]". She then Normal Summons "[[Wall of Ivy (anime)|Wall of Ivy]]" (300/1200) in [[Defense Position]]. Akiza then activates "[[Seed of Deception (anime)|Seed of Deception]]" to Special Summon "[[Copy Plant (anime)|Copy Plant]]" (0/0) in Defense Position. She then [[activate]]s the effect of "Copy Plant" to target "Masked Knight LV5" and make its [[Level]] equal to the Level of "[[Masked Knight LV5|Masked Knight LV5]]" ("Copy Plant": Level 1 → 5). Akiza then [[Synchro Material|tunes ]] "[[Wall of Ivy]]" with "[[Copy Plant]]" in order to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Black Rose Dragon (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]" (2400/1800) in Attack Position. She then activates the first effect of "Black Rose Dragon" to [[destroy]] all cards on the field.

Akiza then [[Set]]s a card. She then activates "[[Black Garden (anime)|Black Garden]]". Now as long as this card is face-up, any monster that is summoned through something other than the first effect of "Black Garden" will have its ATK halved while "Black Garden" is face-up and then a Rose Token will be Special Summoned to the controller's opponent's side of the field in Attack Position.

Randsborg draws "[[Martyr Flag]]". He then activates "[[The Warrior Returning Alive (anime)|The Warrior Returning Alive]]" to add "[[Masked Knight LV3]]" from his Graveyard to his hand. Randsborg's hand contains "Martyr Flag", "[[Pot of Avarice (anime)|Pot of Avarice]]", and "[[Level Change]]". Randsborg then Normal Summons "Masked Knight LV3" (1500 → 750/800) in Attack Position. The first effect of "[[Black Garden]]" Special Summons a "[[Rose Token (anime)|Rose Token]]" (800/800) to Akiza's side of the field in Attack Position.

Randsborg then activates the second effect of "[[Masked Knight LV3]]" (Akiza 2600 → 2200). Akiza then activates her face-down "[[Doppelganger (anime)|Doppelganger]]", which makes Randsborg take the same amount of damage Akiza took (as the damage was from an Effect Monster's effect) (Randsborg 4000 → 3600). Randsborg [[Set]]s two cards (One one of which is "[[Martyr Flag]]").

Akiza draws "[[Mark of the Rose (anime)|Mark of the Rose]]" and subsequently activates it, equipping it to "Masked Knight LV3" and taking control of "[[Masked Knight LV3]]". Now during each of Akiza's End Phases, control of "Masked Knight LV3" will be switched back to Randsborg, but during each of Akiza's Standby Phases, control of "Masked Knight LV3" will be switched to Akiza. "[[Masked Knight LV3]]" attacks directly (Randsborg 3600 → 2850). Akiza then activates "[[Vengeful Servant (anime)|Vengeful Servant]]" and equips it to "Masked Knight" LV3". Now each time "Masked Knight LV3" switches control, the controller receives damage equal to its original ATK.

On Akiza's End Phase, "Mark of the Rose" switches control of "[[Masked Knight LV3]]" to Randsborg. The effect of "Vengeful Servant" then activates (Randsborg 2850 → 1350). Randsborg then activates his face-down "[[Level Change]]" to send "[[Masked Knight LV3]]" to the Graveyard and Special Summon "[[Masked Knight LV5]]" (2300 → 1150/1300) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. The first effect of "[[Black Garden]]" Special Summons a "[[Rose Token]]" (800/800) to Akiza's side of the field in Attack Position.

Randsborg draws "[[Glory Shield]]". On Randsborg's Standby Phase, the first effect of "[[Masked Knight LV5]]" activates, allowing Randsborg to send "Masked Knight LV5" to the Graveyard in order to [[Special Summon]] "[[Masked Knight LV7 (anime)|Masked Knight LV7]]" (2900 → 1450/1800) from his Deck in Attack Position. The first effect of "[[Black Garden]]" Special Summons a "[[Rose Token]]" (800/800) to Akiza's side of the field in Attack Position.

Randsborg activates "[[Glory Shield]]" and equips it to "[[Masked Knight LV7]]". "Masked Knight LV7" then attacks a "[[Rose Token]]". The , but the "Rose Token" isn't destroyed as "Rose Tokens" can't be destroyed in battle (Akiza 2200 → 1550). Randsborg then activates the second effect of "[[Glory Shield]]" to destroy "[[Doppelganger]]". He then activates the effect of "[[Masked Knight LV7]]" to inflict 1500 damage to Akiza (Akiza 1550 → 50).

Akiza draws "[[Lord Poison (later anime)|Lord Poison]]". She then activates the second effect of "Black Garden" to destroy itself ("Masked Knight LV7": 1450 → 2900/1800) and all Plant-Type monsters on her field in order to Special Summon "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" (2400/1800) from her Graveyard in Attack Position (as the combined ATK of the "Rose Tokens" was equal to less than the ATK of "Black Rose Dragon"). Akiza then activates the second effect of "Black Rose Dragon" to remove from play "Wall of Ivy" from her Graveyard and make the ATK of "Masked Knight LV7" 0 until the End Phase ("Masked Knight LV7": 2900 → 0/1800). "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" attacks and destroys "Masked Knight LV7" (Randsborg 1350 → 0). ==Differences in adaptions== * In the original near the start of the episode, when Akiza walked by Yusei and the others, she said nothing. In the dub she said "Excuse me!" as she walked by. * In the dub, [[Bolt Tanner|Tanner]] says last Halloween he was a knight. This was not mentioned in the Japanese version. * In the dub, [[Gill Randsborg|Sir Randsborg]] speaks Shakespearean English. He did not do this in the Japanese version. * In the dub, Randsborg mentioned it took him a year to make his suit. He did not mention that in the Japanese version. * The dub episode ends with a shadow version of [[Akiza Izinski|Akiza]]. The Japanese version ends with Jil (Randsborg) fallen to the Black Rose Witch. * At the near end of the episode, a woman screams after she and the rest of the audience found out that Akiza's monsters were real. This was cut from the dub, and the Audience yelling at Akiza to get out was changed to Booing. * After Akiza plays "[[Seed of Deception (anime)|Seed of Deception]]" in one frame her cleavage is uncensored but in the next frame her cleavage is erased.
