Akiza has just used "[[Twilight Rose Knight]]" ([[Level]]: 3), "[[Dark Verger]]" (Level: 2) and her 2 "[[Evil Thorn]]s" (Level: 1) to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" (Level: 7, [[ATK]]: 2400) and equipped it with "[[Thorn of Malice]]", giving it 600 additional ATK. (ATK: 3000). She uses "Black Rose Dragon's" effect, removing from play 1 "Evil Thorn" from her Graveyard, to switch "[[Shield Warrior]]" to [[Attack Position]] and reduce its ATK to 0. Akiza attacks "Shield Warrior" with "Black Rose Dragon", but Yusei uses "[[Realize Defense]]" to switch "Shield Warrior" back to [[Defense Position]]. Due to "Thorn of Malice", "Black Rose Dragon" inflicts [[Piercing]] damage (Yusei: 2300 [[Life Points]]), and "Shield Warrior" is not [[destroyed by battle]], but it does lose 600 [[DEF]] (DEF: 1000).
Yusei draws "[[Release Restraint Wave]]" and activates his [[face-down]] "[[Reinforce Truth]]", [[Special Summon]]ing "[[Speed Warrior]]". He then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Junk Synchron]]" and uses "Junk Synchron" (Level: 3), "Speed Warrior" (Level: 2) and "Shield Warrior" (Level: 3) to Synchro Summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]" (Level: 8, ATK: 2500). In exchange Yusei couldn't conduct his [[Battle Phase]] this turn.
Akiza attacks "Stardust Dragon" with "Black Rose Dragon" (Yusei: 1800 Life Points). "Stardust Dragon" survives the battle and loses 600 ATK and DEF, due to "Thorn of Malice" (ATK: 1900; DEF: 1400).
