Summary

Shark is approved in Kaito's test, and now, Yuma is the next target.

Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Kaito

Turn 1: Kaito
Kaito's starting hand contains "Photon Chargeman", "Dimension Wanderer", "Photon Leo", "Luminous Dragon Ritual" and "Photon Veil". He draws "Paladin of Photon Dragon". Kaito activates "Luminous Dragon Ritual", Tributing "Photon Chargeman" from his hand to Special Summon "Paladin of Photon Dragon" (1900/800) from his hand. Next, he activates the effect of "Paladin", Tributing it in order to Special Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (3000/2500) from his Deck.

Turn 2: Yuma
Yuma's starting hand contains "Toy Knight", "Ganbara Knight", "Xyz Agent", "Copy Knight" and "Xyz Veil". He draws a second copy of "Toy Knight" and subsequently Special Summons it via its effect, as Kaito controls more monsters than Yuma does (200/1200). Yuma activates the effect of "Toy Knight", Special Summoning another copy of "Toy Knight" from his hand. He then overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Maestroke the Symphony Djinn" (1800/2300) in Defense Position. Yuma Sets 2 cards.

Turn 3: Kaito
Kaito attacks "Maestroke" with "Galaxy-Eyes". He activates his monster's effect, banishing both monsters until the end of the Battle Phase. He then activates the effect of "Dimension Wanderer" in his hand, as "Galaxy-Eyes" was banished, sending it from his hand to the Graveyard to inflict 3000 damage to Yuma (Yuma 4000 → 1000). At the end of the Battle Phase, both monsters return to the field, with "Galaxy-Eyes" gaining attack equal to the Xyz Materials "Maestroke" had x 500 ("Galaxy Eyes" 3000 → 4000).

Turn 4: Yuma
Yuma Normal Summons "Ganbara Knight" (0/1800) and activates his Set "Copy Knight", Special Summoning it as a monster with the same Level as "Ganbara Knight". He overlays his 2 Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 39: Utopia" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Yuma activates "Mini-Guts", letting him Tribute a monster to reduce the ATK of an opponent's monster to 0. He Tributes "Maestroke" and targets "Galaxy-Eyes" ("Galaxy Eyes" 4000 → 0). Yuma activates his face-down "Xyz Veil", which prevents face-up Xyz Monsters with Xyz Materials from being targeted by effects. "Utopia" attacks and destroy "Galaxy-Eyes" (Kaito 4000 → 1500), with "Mini-Guts" inflicting damage to Kaito equal to the original ATK of "Galaxy-Eyes" (Kaito 1500 → 0).
