Summary
Yuma continues his Duel against Kaito, while Dr. Faker goes on with his plans involving Hart and the destruction of the Astral World.
Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Kaito Tenjo
Duel continues from the previous Rank.
Turn 4: Yuma
Yuma activates "Blustering Winds", increasing the ATK of "Utopia" by 1000. "Utopia" attacks "Galaxy-Eyes", but Kaito activates the effect of "Galaxy-Eyes", banishing both monsters until the end of the Battle Phase. As "Utopia" is an Xyz Monster, its Overlay Units are sent to the Graveyard. The Battle Phase ends and both monsters are Special Summoned, with "Galaxy-Eyes" gaining 1000 ATK as two Overlay Units were sent to the Graveyard via its effect.
Turn 5: Kaito
"Galaxy-Eyes" attacks "Utopia" (Yuma 4000 → 2500), who is not destroyed as "Galaxy-Eyes" is not a "Numbers" monster. Kaito activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Photon Wind", inflicting 1000 damage to Yuma as a monster was not destroyed by battle (Yuma 2500 → 1500) and drawing a card. Kaito Sets a card.
Turn 6: Yuma
Yuma Normal Summons "Zubaba Knight" (1600/600). He then Special Summons "Kagemucha Knight" (0/0) from his Deck via its own effect. He overlays the two monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon" (2000/0) in Attack Position. Yuma activates the effect of "Leviathan Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to increase its ATK by 500. Yuma activates "Cross Attack". As "Utopia" and "Leviathan Dragon" have the same ATK, one may attack directly this turn, while the other may not attack. "Utopia" attacks directly, but Kaito activates his face-down "Photon Current", adding Utopia's ATK to his "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (6500/2500) and making it the new target for the attack.
Kaito would win the Duel in this turn, but he cancels the Duel seeing Hart's situation.
