Summary
Yuma defeats Tokunosuke, but the leader of Team Shark shows up! Shark calls Team ZEXAL weak, and challenges Yuma to a Duel under some conditions: first, they will bet their teams' badges, which symbolizes the pride of the team; and second, if Yuma lose, Tokunosuke will enter Shark's team as a slave who does every work. With no other option, Yuma accepts the Duel.

Turn 1: Shark
Shark's starting hand contains "Oh F!sh!", "Star Changer", "Xyz Gift", "Big Jaws" and "Hammer Shark". He draws "Shocktopus". Shark Sets a Monster.
Turn 2: Yuma Tsukumo
Yuma's starting hand contains "Goblindbergh", "Gagaga Gardna", "Three Thousand Needles", "Bound Wand" and "Impenetrable Attack". He draws "Ganbara Knight". Yuma Summons "Goblindbergh" (1400/0), and activates its effect, Special Summoning "Ganbara Knight" (0/1800) from his hand, and switching "Goblindbergh" to Defense Position. He Overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 39: Utopia" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. "Utopia" attacks and destroys Shark's Set monster, which was "Shocktopus" (1600/800). The effect of "Shocktopus" activates, Equipping itself to "Utopia", reducing its ATK to 0 and preventing it from changing its Battle Position.
Turn 3: Shark
Shark draws and Summons another "Shocktopus" (1600/800) in Attack Position. Shark attacks "Utopia" with "Shocktopus", but Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia", detaching an Xyz Material to negate the attack.

Turn 5: Shark
Shark Summons "Hammer Shark" (1700/1500), and activates its effect, reducing its Level by 1 (Hammer Shark: LV4 → 3) and Special Summoning "Big Jaws" (1800/300) from his hand. He Overlays his two Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Black Ray Lancer" (2100/600), and activates its effect, detaching 1 Xyz Material to negate the effect of "Utopia" until the End Phase. Shark attacks "Utopia" with "Black Ray Lancer", destroying it (Yuma 4000 → 1900). Shark attacks Yuma's set monster with "Shocktopus". It is "Gagaga Gardna" (1500/2000); therefore Shark takes damage (Shark 4000 → 3600).

Turn 7: Shark
