The Duel begins, with Syrus, Chumley, Zane and [[Alexis Rhodes]] all watching. Blair Summons "[[Maiden in Love (anime)|Maiden in Love]]" in [[Attack Position]], while Jaden Summons "[[Elemental Hero Avian (anime)|Elemental HERO Avian]]" and attacks "Maiden in Love". She can't be destroyed in battle while in Attack Position, but [[Battle damage]] still occurs. [[Winged Kuriboh (character)|Winged Kuriboh]] gives Jaden a look at what is happening in the spirit world, and "[[Elemental HERO Avian (character)|Avian]]" is kneeling beside "Maiden in Love", apologizing for harming her. Jaden tells "Avian" to pull himself together, perplexing the others as they cannot see monster spirits as Jaden can. Blair reveals that any monster who battles with "Maiden in Love" receives a [[Maiden Counter]], which manifests itself on "Avian" as a heart symbol. Blair [[equip]]s "Maiden in Love" with "[[Cupid 's Kiss (anime)|Cupid's Kiss]]" and attacks. Jaden sees "Maiden in Love's" spirit run towards "Avian", professing her love for him. She trips, and "Avian" attempts to help her. She tells him to attack Jaden, and he does. Blair reveals that if "Maiden in Love" attacks a monster that has a Maiden Counter while equipped with "Cupid 's Kiss", [[control]] of that monster switches to Blair. She [[Set]]s a card to end her turn, and Jaden Summons "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman (anime)|Elemental HERO Sparkman]]" and attacks "Avian". Blair activates her face-down "[[Defense Maiden (anime)|Defense Maiden]]", switching the attack [[target]] to "Maiden in Love", so "Sparkman" gains a Maiden Counter. Jaden sees "Avian's" spirit scolding "Sparkman" for attacking the maiden.

Blair activates "[[Happy Marriage (anime)|Happy Marriage]]", equipping it to "Maiden in Love", causing her attack to rise by that of "Avian". She then attacks "Sparkman" with "Maiden in Love", and the former is put under Blair's control due to the Maiden Counter and the effect "Cupid 's Kiss". Both "Avian" and "Sparkman" attack directly, reducing Jaden to 400 [[LP]]. Believing a female monster might prove effective, Jaden Summons "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental HERO Burstinatrix]]". She calls both of the male Heroes pathetic, and Jaden plays "[[Burst Return (anime)|Burst Return]]", with "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (character)|Burstinatrix]]" commanding both "Avian" and "Sparkman" to come back (in the dub, she also threatens them that she will tell the entire Deck about them falling in love with the "Maiden"), and enabling Jaden to place both of his male "Heroes" back into his hand. He then plays "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]", [[Fusion Material|fusing]] "Burstinatrix" with "Avian" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (anime)|Elemental HERO Flame Wingman]]". He attacks, reducing Blair's Life Points to 0.

Blair draws "[[Defense Maiden (anime)|Defense Maiden]]". Blair's hand contains "[[Cupid 's Kiss (anime)|Cupid's Kiss]]", "[[Outstanding Dog Marron (anime)|Outstanding Dog Marron]]", "[[Monster Reincarnation (later anime)|Monster Reincarnation]]", "[[Pikeru's Circle of Enchantment (anime)|Pikeru's Circle of Enchantment]]", and "[[Beckoning Light (anime)|Beckoning Light]]". Blair then activates "Cupid 's Kiss" and equips it onto "Maiden in Love". Now if the equipped monster battles a monster with a Maiden Counter and Blair takes Battle Damage, Blair can take [[control]] of that monster at the end of the Damage Step. "Maiden in Love" attacks "Avian". Due to the effect of "Maiden in Love", it is not destroyed (Blair: 3400 → 2800 LP). The effect of "Cupid 's Kiss" then activates, allowing Blair to take control of "Avian" at the end of the Damage Step. "Avian" attacks [[Direct attack|directly]] (Jaden: 4000 → 3000 LP). Blair [[Set]]s a card.

Blair draws "[[Happy Marriage (anime)|Happy Marriage]]" and subsequently activates it, equipping it to "Maiden in Love" and selecting "Avian" as the target of "Happy Marriage". Due to the second effect of "Happy Marraige", the [[ATK]] of "Maiden in Love" increases by the ATK of "Avian" ("Maiden in Love": 400 → 1400 ATK). "Maiden in Love" attacks "Sparkman". Due to the effect of "Maiden in Love", it is not destroyed (Blair: 1600 → 1400 LP). The effect of "Cupid 's Kiss" then activates, allowing Blair to take control of "Sparkman" at the end of the Damage Step. "Sparkman" and "Avian" attack directly (Jaden: 3000 → 1400 → 400 LP).
