Featured DuelsEdit
Yuya Sakaki vs. Taka and NagiEdit
At the start of the Duel, the Field Spell Card "Quartet of Quandry" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.
Turn 1: Yuya
Yuya Normal Summons "Performapal Skeeter Skimmer" (500/1600) in Attack Position and Sets a card.
Turn 2: Taka
Taka draws "Pendulumstatue Purple Shield" and subsequently activates it (
5) and "Pendulumstatue Purple Sword" (
11) in his Pendulum Zones. Taka Pendulum Summons "Tsumuji the Earthwind Star" (2200/???) and "Arashi the Skywind Star" (2300/???) in Attack Position. Taka activates the Pendulum Effect of "Purple Sword", letting him increase the ATK of all Warrior-Type monsters he controls by 200 once per turn ("Tsumuji" 2200 → 2400), "Arashi" 2300 → 2500). "Tsumuji" attacks "Skeeter Skimmer", but Yuya activates the effect of "Skeeter Skimmer" as it is being attacked, changing it to Defense Position and negating the attack. Yuya tries to get an Action Card, but Nagi beats him to it. "Arashi" attacks and destroys "Skeeter Skimmer". Nagi activates the Action Card "Flame Ball", which inflicts 200 damage to his opponent (Yuya: 4000 → 3800 LP). Taka activates "Polymerization", fusing "Tsumuji" and "Arashi" from his field to Fusion Summon "Fujin the Breakstorm Star" (3000/2200) in Attack Position. At the End Phase, the effect of "Fujin" activates, inflicting 500 damage to Yuya for each Warrior-Type monster on the field (Yuya: 3800 → 3300 LP).
Turn 3: Nagi
Nagi activates "Purple Shield" ( 5) and "Purple Sword" ( 11) in his Pendulum Zones. Nagi Pendulum Summons "Todoroki the Earthbolt Star" (2100/???) and "Senko the Skybolt Star" (2400/???) in Attack Position. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Purple Sword", increasing the ATK of his monsters by 200 ("Todoroki": 2100 → 2300, "Senko": 2400 → 2600). "Todoroki" attacks directly (Yuya: 3300 → 1000 LP). Yuya tries to get an Action Card, but Taka blocks him and takes it for himself. Taka subsequently activates the Action Card "Flame Ball", inflicting 200 damage to Yuya (Yuya: 1000 → 800 LP). "Senko" attacks directly, but Yuya activates his face-down "Performapal Pinch Helper", negating the attack and Special Summoning a "Performapal" monster with 800 or less ATK from his Deck, but its effects are negated. Yuya Special Summons "Performapal Thunderhino" (200/1800) in Defense Position. Nagi then activates the Quick-Play Spell Card, "Frontline Fusion", which allows him to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck, using monsters from his hand or his side of the field as Fusion Materials during the Battle Phase. He fuses "Todoroki" and "Senko" from his field to Fusion Summon "Raijin the Breakbolt Star" (3000/2200) in Attack Position. "Raijin" attacks "Thunderhino", but Yuya activates the other effect of "Pinch Helper", which allows him to send it to the Graveyard and halve any battle damage either player takes from the battle. "Raijin" destroys "Thunderhino", with its effect inflicting piercing battle damage to Yuya (Yuya: 800 → 200 LP). At the End Phase, the effect of "Fujin" would inflict 500 damage to Yuya for each Warrior-Type monster on the field, but Dennis joins the Duel and activates effect of his "Performage Damage Juggler" to prevent the damage.
Duel continues in the next episode.
Zuzu Boyle vs. HalilEdit
At the start of the Duel, the Field Spell Card "Quartet of Quandry" is activated, as per the rules of an Action Duel. It will allow the players to use Action Cards, but they may only have one in their hand at a time.
Turn 1: Halil
Halil Normal Summons "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" (1800/1000) and Sets two cards.
Turn 2: Zuzu
Zuzu draws "Pendulumstatue White Butterfly" and subsequently activates it ( 3) and "Pendulumstatue White Flower" ( 9) in her Pendulum Zones. Halil activates his face-down "Absorbing Lamp", which negates the activation of a Spell Card and then adds that card to his hand. He negates "White Flower" and adds it to his hand. Zuzu Normal Summons "Opera the Melodious Diva" (2300/1000). Its effect prevents it from attacking the turn it is Normal or Special Summoned.
Turn 3: Halil
Halil draws "Pendulumstatue Red Fiend" and subsequently activates it ( 1) and "White Flower" ( 9) in his Pendulum Zones. Halil Pendulum Summons "Red Lamp" (900/???) and "Purple Lamp" (1600/???) in Attack Position. As "Red Lamp" was Special Summoned, Halil activates its effect, which inflicts 600 damage to Zuzu (Zuzu: 4000 → 3400 LP). As "Purple Lamp" was Special Summoned, Halil activates its effect, which lets him add "Polymerization" from his Deck to his hand. He then activates it, fusing "La Jinn" and "Red Lamp" from his field to Fusion Summon "Fire Jinn the Flame Genie of the Lamp" (2400/???) in Attack Position. He activates its effect, which lets him inflict 600 damage to Zuzu (Zuzu: 3400 → 2800 LP).
