"Stop Pretending", known as "The Return of the King" in the Japanese version is the eighty-fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime. It first aired in Japan on February 6, 2022. It became available for streaming on Hulu August 21, 2023 in America.
Yuga and Roa's intense Duel unfolded on the stage for RoaRomin's secret concert. After Yuga figured out his intention during the Duel, Roa proceeded to laugh at himself. However, Mimi and other RoaRomin fans then cheered him on, allowing Roa to regain his "Roa-ness." Roa then declared that he'll give his fans a lot of love today!
Summary
Yuga tells Roa he knows Roa hasn't forgotten a thing and Roa casually asks what Yuga is talking about, claiming he's never met Yuga before and this is their first Rush Duel. As Tyler and Toombs head back to the other side of the stage, Roa's fangirls ask in confusion if Roa hasn't lost his memories or all of them, and Mimi notes she's been a fan of Roa's long enough to know something is weird and lifeless about him, though she, Gavin and Luke are confused as to why Roa is pretending to be amnesiac. Yuga suggests it's to keep Romin away from Dueling as he looks at the cardboard cutout of her his friends are holding, catching Roa's attention, and though Luke thinks he sees what's going on, he and Gavin still don't know why Roa would do that. Yuga notes that Romin would likely remember them if she Dueled again and Gavin realizes Romin would want to rejoin them immediately to help stop Swirls and all this chaos, Luke noting it would take time away from her solo debut. Kaizo asks why Roa would want to do so after having manipulated Romin previously and Gavin suggests it's his way of making amends, but Kaizo insists this wouldn't heal Romin's heart nor make Roa forgivable. Roa asks what kind of nonsense this is, denying knowing anything about what they mean.
Yuga insists this isn't like Roa and he declares his turn and draws five cards; "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord [L]", "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord", "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord", "Emergency Return", and "Sevens Road Protection". Since Roa is still pretending, how's this, Yuga asks as he places down the three "Magnum Overlord" cards. He chants "A strong armor that never breaks! Achieving supersonic flight with gale-force winds! Carving everything open with maximum firepower! Full speed ahead! Maximum Summon! Come on out, Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord!" As the 3500 MAXIMUM ATK "Magnum Overlord" settles over Yuga, Tyler and Toombs gasp that it's a Maximum, and Yuga activates the effect of "Magnum Overlord" by returning "Dark Sorcerer" from his Graveyard to his Deck, choosing a monster in his Graveyard and inflicting damage to Roa equal to its Level times 100. He takes back the Level 7 "Sevens Road Magician" and Roa yelps as he falls to 2700 LP and Yuga adds "Sevens Road Magician" back to his hand. Pleased, Yuga Sets two cards and declares battle, attacking with "Magnum Overlord", which barrages "Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal" with dozens of blue laser beams and engulfs it in smoke.
Tyler calls Roa's name, but the smoke clears to reveal "Heavy Metal" is unharmed and Roa claims that wasn't enough to break his beat as he falls to 1700 LP. Yuga gasps as Roa reveals he activated the Trap Card "Gig and Take", preventing "Heavy Metal" from being destroyed in battle and restoring their LP equal to the damage he took. Roa returns to 2700 LP and Yuga rises to 1900 as Gavin expresses shock Roa withstood the attack of "Magnum Overlord". Yuga comments that Roa is still trying to hold back his feelings and notes this isn't like him, and Roa politely calls Yuga by his full name as he asks what he means. Yuga tells him it's the way he's addressing him, pretending to forget Rush Dueling, all of it, and Roa angrily mutters that Yuga keeps blabbering as though knows him and scoffs that Yuga wouldn't understands him, calling him "Yuga-chan" as he usually does out of frustration.
Everyone gasps in shock as they realize Roa really didn't lose his memories and Yuga asks why Roa has been pretending to have lost his memories. Roa isn't happy about having to reveal why, but admits it was a chance to start over. Otes chose Yuga to have "Sevens Road Magician" and not Roa, and the world chose Romin (who is still practicing with Princess G) to make her solo debut and not him. Roa scoffs at the notion of being a mischevous prince and calls himself a pathetic loser, much to his fans' shock, and he bitterly remarks that if he can't grasp anything, he can take this chance to pretend it all never happened. Roa admits he didn't think it would be so bad silently seeing Romin off on her journey until Yuga barged onto his stage. Mimi tries to talk to Roa, but she's suddenly crushed against the stage by the other fangirls, who had also realized something was wrong with Roa (despite Mimi choking that she was the first to notice something was wrong with Roa). Roa is quite shocked over the support he's getting and Mimi tells Roa she would never forget him even if he forgot her, while another girl insists they're still Roa's fans even if he's been knocked down or acting weird. Another girl insists Roa is their michevous prince, their Roa Kassidy, and as they cheer Roa's name over and over, Roa gets fired up, declaring that they're telling him. Yuga ends his turn and Roa notes that everyone keeps talking as though they understand him, taking up his microphone and vowing to show them some love today. His fans cheer his every word as Roa tells them he'll make sure they have some fun and he asks if they're ready to be embraced by his voice. As Roa's fangirls cheer again, Tyler and Toombs exchange nods and run backstage, and Roa points to the sky, telling them to burn his great turn into their eyes.
Declaring a divine draw, he draws five cards and his fangirls cheer his radiance. He's drawn "King's Management", "Distortion Chord Break", "Royal Rebel's Hard Rock", "Royal Rebel's Invasion" and "Royal Rebel's Guardian". He Summons "Royal Rebel's Guardian" and activates its effect to treat it as two Tributes, sending "Garmr the Lone Wolf" from his Deck to his Graveyard and claiming this will be a Thanksgiving Day feast for his princesses cheering him up. He Tributes "Guardian" to Tribute Summon "Royal Rebel's Invasion", and as Yuga gasps, Roa tells Tyler and Toombs it's their turn to make him shine, but is surprised to see them gone, only for a spotlight to snap on them at their instruments ready to play. Yuga is impressed to see Tyler, though he forgets Toombs' name and Toombs snaps it to him. Roa Tributes "Heavy Metal" and "Invasion" to Tribute Summon, chanting "Make way for the king of rebellion who feasts on arrogant gods! Royal Rebel's Hard Rock!" Yuga gasps as Roa activates the "Aggressive Burning" effect of "Hard Rock", which will inflict the 1000 difference in the ATK of "Hard Rock" and "Magnum Overlord" to Yuga, then allow "Hard Rock" to steal the 3500 ATK of "Magnum Overlord". A red aura envelops both monsters, reducing Yuga to 900 LP again and powering "Hard Rock" up to 6000 ATK as Luke gasps in shock and Gavin repeats the ATK value. Roa Sets two cards, claiming the stage is set and calling "Let's rock!" Tyler and Toombs start playing as Roa revels in the spotlight, impressing even Yuga. Roa admits that giving up on being the King of Duels and letting Romin go without a word wasn't like him at all and that acting so wimpy was boring and made him sick. Tyler hits his cymbal to punctuate the statement and Roa tells them to give him a blast beat if he isn't acting like himself.
"Hard Rock" attacks, but Yuga tells Roa he won't let him and activates "Emergency Return" to negate the attack, "Magnum Overlord" splitting into its three components. Roa scowls and he ends his turn, commenting that Yuga's really done it now. Yuga smiles, telling Roa he's really starting to remember himself again. Roa points out they've been linked since before Rush Dueling was born, so how could he forget Yuga? Mimi cheers that Roa's smile is shining so brightly.
Yuga declares his turn and draws "Wind Spirit's Protection", before Maximum Summoning "Magnum Overlord" again, worrying Tyler and Toombs. Roa tells them to calm down, as "Magnum Overlord" has a glaring weakness - it's a Maximum that can be destroyed by Trap Cards. He activates "Distortion Chord Break" since Yuga Special Summoned a Level 7 or higher monster, forcing Yuga to discard his hand and draw five new cards. Gavin is shocked at the thought of Yuga discarding his hand and Roa comments that he knows Yuga has "Sevens Road Magician" in his hand, much to Yuga's surprise, and as he sends his two cards to the Graveyard, Roa explains that he can destroy Yuga's Special Summoned monster since he forced Yuga to discard a Level 7 or higher monster. "Magnum Overlord" explodes above Yuga and both Gavin and Luke express shock over a Trap Card destroying a Maximum as Rayne, Rino and Kaizo stare wide-eyed. Yuga congratulates Roa on identifying the weakness of "Magnum Overlord" and Roa comments that of course he did, given he knows everything about Yuga.
Yuga asks if he'll know about this as he draws five new cards, "Sevens Road Boost", "Fusion", "Sevens Road Sorcerer", "Sevens Road Enchanter" and "Sevens Road Wiz". He Summons "Sevens Road Wiz", "Sevens Road Enchanter" and "Sevens Road Sorcerer" and Roa gasps in shock at the sight of "Sevens Road Sorcerer", the seventh "Sevens Road" monster. Yuga confirms that it is and sends all three of his monsters to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Sevens Road Sorcerer", Special Summoning "Sevens Road Magician" from his Graveyard, and since he did he can also Special Summon "Sevens Road Witch" from his Graveyard, who he Summons in Defense Position. Roa comments that Yuga Summoning his "Sevens Roads" again is such an eyesore and Yuga activates the "Elemental Road" effect of "Sevens Road Magician", powering it up to 2400 ATK. Roa narrows his eyes, recalling how Yuga previously made him feel the humiliation of defeat with "Sevens Road Magician" and "Sevens Road Witch", but notes that a 300 ATK boost won't be enough to beat "Royal Rebel's Hard Rock". But Yuga grins and shows Roa his "Fusion" card, declaring this was his real aim. Roa gasps the Spell Card's name as Yuga activates it, chanting "No matter if the planets, the galaxies or space itself stand in my way!" as he fuses "Sevens Road Magician" and "Sevens Road Witch". "I will go beyond all roads and press forward! Fusion! The apex of all magicians who rules over Sevens Road! The road of beginnings and ends! Fusion Summon! Master of the Sevens Road!"
"Master of the Sevens Road" stands with 3000 ATK and Yuga's friends gasp happily, though Luke is shocked Yuga had another Fusion Monster instead of "Sevens Paladin". Roa repeats the monster's name and observes that this is Yuga's trump card as Yuga explains that the Continuous Effect of "Master of the Sevens Road" will increase its ATK by 300 for each Sevens Road in his Graveyard, and Kaizo yelps that Yuga has seven, so it will gain 2100 ATK. As he displays the calculation on his screen, Gavin asks if this why Yuga sent "Sevens Road Mage" to the Graveyard (with the effect of "Sevens Road Magician"). Yuga adds that the attack of "Master of the Sevens Road" will pierce if there are all seven Sevens Roads in his Graveyard and activates another Spell Card, "Sevens Road Boost", preventing "Master of the Sevens Road" from being destroyed by Traps for the rest of the turn and increasing its ATK by 200 for each Sevens Road monster in his Graveyard, powering it up even further to 6500 ATK. Tyler gasps the value in shock while Toombs is horrified it can pierce. Yuga orders "Master of the Sevens Road" to carve open the road to victory, and as it charges Tyler protests Roa will lose if he takes a 6500 ATK hit.
Roa activates a Trap Card, "King's Management", reducing the ATK of "Master of the Sevens Road" by 500 for each Fiend Type Normal Monster in his Graveyard and then forces Yuga to draw a card, and with three ("Royal Rebel's Fanatic", "Babysitter Goat" and "Garmr the Lone Wolf") it loses 1500 ATK, falling to 5000. Yuga orders the "Ultimate Sevens Magic" attack of "Master of the Sevens Road" and "Master of the Sevens Road" channels seven streams of fiery magic into its sword, generating the seven crests around it and an eighth in its sword before finally blasting a storm of flaming magic that consumes "Royal Rebel's Hard Rock" and reduces Roa to 200 LP. Gavin and Luke gasp that Roa survived the attack and Roa claims that the King of Duels is someone who makes the impossible possible. Yuga draws his card from the effect of "King's Management" and ends his turn, returning the ATK of "Master of the Sevens Road" to 5100. Tyler gasps that Roa withstood a Maximum and a Fusion and Roa comments that he doesn't need a Maximum or a Fusion, as there's only one mic and his style is to carry on with his charisma alone. He corrects himself, admitting he has his bandmates and princesses to thank too and gives them the thumbs up. As Roa's fangirls go wild, Tyler comments that Roa's quite clumsy despite acting like he can do this all himself and Roa claims to be a man of unwavering principle, though Toombs teases him for being weak just now and all three of them laugh. Tyler tells Roa they're on his side and Toombs declares they're behind him (his Japanese name means "behind you").
Roa tells them all to witness as he gives his all onstage, declaring a turn that will captivate them all as he makes an ultra-divine draw. He's drawn "King's Greed", "Followl of the Dark Wisdom", "Royal Rebel's Doom Metal", "Royal Rebel's No Wave" and "Royal Rebel's Break", and he Summons 'Royal Rebel's Break" and activates its effect, Special Summoning "Royal Rebel's No Wave" from his hand in Defense Position. The effect of "Royal Rebel's Break" increases its Level by 5 for the rest of the turn, so Roa Tributes both "Break" and "No Wave" to Tribute Summon, chanting "A red-hot blast beat scream that tears through the gates of hell. A death rush requiem that submerges darkness into the light. Come, king of the demons! Annihilate everything that you touch!" He has his fangirls join him in announcing the name of "Royal Rebel's Doom Metal".
Tyler cheers that Roa can use the effect of "Doom Metal" to destroy "Master of the Sevens Road", and Roa begins to activate the "Wall of Destruction" effect of "Doom Metal", but Yuga activates "Sevens Road Protection", preventing "Master of the Sevens Road" from being destroyed by card effects for the rest of the turn. Tyler and Toombs cry "What?!" and Yuga adds that "Doom Metal" will also be switched to Defense Position. Tyler protests that now "Doom Metal" can't use its effect, but Roa claims cheap lines like that won't satisfy his princesses, and Yuga flinches backwards as Miniscape begins playing. Roa Summons "Followl of the Dark Wisdom" and then activates the Spell Card "King's Greed", returning three monsters from his Graveyard to his Deck ("Heavy Metal", "Invasion", and "Hard Rock") changing "Followl of Dark Wisdom" to Defense Position, and then drawing two cards. He Tributes "Followl" and "Doom Metal", chanting "If you're prepared to throw away your very life for the king... A resilient Distortion Power Chord!" and holds the microphone to his fangirls, who chant "And now, together with a heavy-metal highway lead!" as Tyler and Toombs chant "Sink your teeth into any who oppose you!" Roa tosses his microphone away, telling "Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal" to come forth, and it emerges from the flames, screaming into its microphone. Tyler taps his cymbols and declares it's time for the climax, but Toombs reminds him the effect of "Heavy Metal" only works on Level 8 or lower monsters.
Roa claims he'll simply make it work and he activates the Field Spell Card "King's Style", declaring all the world's a stage as a shining hall materializes around him and he orders everyone to lower their heads and bow to the throne, explaining that the effect of "King's Style" lowers the Levels of all non-Fiend monsters by three. Yuga gasps in shock as "Master of the Sevens Road" falls to Level 6 and Toombs gasps that its Level was lowered, Tyler adding that "Heavy Metal" can now use its effect. Roa vows he'll annihilate everyone who stands in his way, prompting cheers from his fangirls, and Mimi tells Roa to never give up and win with his indomitable spirit, calling him super rad. Roa activates the effect of "Heavy Metal", ordering it to absorb and destroy "Master of the Sevens Road" with "Hell Flame Mosh Pit". "Heavy Metal" screams into its microphone as Roa tells Yuga this is the end, and the red orb surrounds "Master of the Sevens Road" and tries to compress it as "Heavy Metal" absorbs its ATK to a total of 7600, but Yuga reminds Roa the effect of "Sevens Road Protection" prevents "Master of the Sevens Road" from being destroyed by card effects, and it breaks free from the orb. Roa comments that Yuga might have survived, but snaps his fingers to dim the lights and declares that whether it's the world of Dueling or rock, he'll kick aside anyone standing in his way, and he'll be the one to attain it all in the end. Pyrotechnics erupt around Roa as he declares himself the King of All, Roa Kassidy, his fangirls going wild. Roa vows to destroy heaven itself, ordering "Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal" to attack with "Headbanger's Final Destruction", and it slashes "Master of the Sevens Road" with its microphone, destroying it and blasting Yuga off his feet, his LP wiped out.
Roa thanks his audience in English and his fangirls cheer, Tyler commenting Roa has gone from a man to a god and Toombs agreeing he's someone worth following, sharing a grin with Tyler. Mimi tears up, cheering that was the best. Yuga gets to his feet and Gavin says his name, Luke telling him it was a great Duel. Yuga smiles and looks at Roa basking in his victory, telling him that performance was the greates and so is he. Roa gives Yuga the thumbs up and he comments that Yuga will have to chase him now; Roa Kassidy, the God of Duels. Yuga comments that sounds good, and they shake hands as Roa's fangirls cheer for an encore. Roa is touched, but can't help but think of Romin.
At the Goha Enterprises Main Office, Yuran comments that Yuo has awoken, the genius said to hold the greatest skills and talents of all the Goha Six as Yuo types rapidly at a holocomputer. Yuka asks if Yuo's memories are back, but Yuran explains Yuo is working on instinct and intuition to find what he lost; it's all coming together and all the pieces of the puzzle are becoming one.
Featured Duel: Yuga Ohdo vs Roa Kassidy
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Yuga has 900 LP and controls no cards. Roa has 3400 LP and controls "Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal" (2500/0) in Attack Position and one Set card in his Spell & Trap Zones.
Turn 3: Yuga
Yuga draws "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord [L]", "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord", "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord", "Emergency Return", and "Sevens Road Protection". Yuga Maximum Summons "Magnum Overlord", "Magnum Overlord [L]", and "Magnum Overlord [R]", entering Maximum Mode (3500 MAXIMUM ATK). As "Magnum Overlord" is in Maximum Mode, Yuga activates the effect of "Magnum Overlord [L]", shuffling a monster from his Graveyard into his Deck to inflict damage to Roa equal to the Level of a monster in his Graveyard x 100, then adding that monster to his hand. He shuffles "Dark Sorcerer" from his Graveyard into his Deck and adds "Sevens Road Magician" from his Graveyard to his hand (Roa: 3400 → 2700 LP). Yuga Sets two cards. "Magnum Overlord" attacks "Heavy Metal", but as a Fiend Type monster Roa controls was targeted for an attack, Roa activates his Set Trap Card "Gig and Take", preventing that monster from being destroyed by that battle and increasing the LP of both players equal to the battle damage he took from that battle (Roa: 2700 → 1700 → 2700 LP; Yuga: 900 → 1900 LP).
Turn 4: Roa
Roa draws "King's Management", "Distortion Chord Break", "Royal Rebel's Hard Rock", "Royal Rebel's Invasion" and "Royal Rebel's Guardian". Roa Normal Summons "Royal Rebel's Guardian" (0/1400). As he controls a Level 7 or higher Fiend Type monster, Roa activates the effect of "Guardian", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to treat it as two Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a Fiend Type monster this turn. He sends "Garmr the Lone Wolf" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Roa Tributes "Guardian" to Tribute Summon "Royal Rebel's Invasion" (2300/0). Roa Tributes "Heavy Metal" and "Invasion" to Tribute Summon "Royal Rebel's Hard Rock" (2500/2000). As "Hard Rock" was Tribute Summoned this turn by Tributing two Level 7 or higher Fiend Type monsters, Roa activates its effect, choosing a Level 7 or higher monster Yuga controls and inflicting damage to Yuga equal to the difference in ATK between that monster and "Hard Rock", then increasing the ATK of "Hard Rock" by the chosen monster's ATK until the end of the turn. Roa chooses the Level 10 "Magnum Overlord" (Yuga: 1900 → 900 LP) ("Hard Rock": 2500/2000 → 6000/2000). Roa Sets two cards. "Hard Rock" attacks "Magnum Overlord", but as his opponent's monster declared an attack, Yuga activates his Set Trap "Emergency Return", returning a Level 5 or higher monster he controls to his hand to negate the attack. Yuga returns the Level 10 "Magnum Overlord" to his hand.
Turn 5: Yuga
Yuga draws "Wind Spirit's Protection". Yuga's hand contains "Wind Spirit's Protection", "Sevens Road Magician", "Magnum Overlord [L]", "Magnum Overlord" and "Magnum Overlord [R]". Yuga Maximum Summons "Magnum Overlord", "Magnum Overlord [L]", and "Magnum Overlord [R]", entering Maximum Mode (3500 MAXIMUM ATK). As Yuga Special Summoned a Level 7 or higher monster, Roa activates his Set Trap "Distortion Chord Break", forcing Yuga to send his entire hand to the Graveyard, then draw five cards, and if Roa sends a Level 7 or higher monster to the Graveyard with this effect, the Special Summoned monster is destroyed. Yuga sends the Level 7 "Sevens Road Magician" and "Wind Spirit's Protection" to the Graveyard and draws "Sevens Road Boost", "Fusion", "Sevens Road Sorcerer", "Sevens Road Enchanter" and "Sevens Road Wiz", then "Magnum Overlord" is destroyed. Yuga Normal Summons "Sevens Road Wiz" (1000/0), "Sevens Road Enchanter" (1200/100), and "Sevens Road Sorcerer" (1300/100). Yuga activates the effect of "Sevens Road Sorcerer", sending three face-up monsters he controls to the Graveyard to Special Summon a Level 7 or lower Spellcaster Type monster from his Graveyard, and if he Special Summons "Sevens Road Magician" with this effect, he can also Special Summon "Sevens Road Witch" from his Graveyard. Yuga sends "Sevens Road Wiz", "Sevens Road Enchanter", and "Sevens Road Sorcerer" to the Graveyard and Special Summons "Sevens Road Magician" (2100/1500) in Attack Position and "Sevens Road Witch" (1600/1000) in Defense Position from his Graveyard. Yuga activates the effect of "Sevens Road Magician", sending a card from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to increase its ATK by 300 for each Attribute in his Graveyard. He sends "Sevens Road Mage" to the Graveyard, so there is one Attribute in his Graveyard ("Sevens Road Magician": 2100 → 2400 ATK).[Note 1] Yuga activates the Spell Card "Fusion", Fusion Summoning a monster from his Extra Deck using face-up monsters he controls as materials. Yuga fuses "Sevens Road Magician" and "Sevens Road Witch" to Fusion Summon "Master of the Sevens Road" (3000/2100) in Attack Position.
The effect of "Master of the Sevens Road" increases its ATK by 300 for each DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monster with a different name in Yuga's Graveyard, and if Yuga has seven or more DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monsters in his Graveyard, "Master of the Sevens Road" inflicts piercing battle damage if it attacks a Defense Position monster. Yuga has "Sevens Road Magician", "Sevens Road Witch", "Sevens Road Warlock", "Sevens Road Sorcerer", "Sevens Road Enchanter", "Sevens Road Mage", and "Sevens Road Wiz" in his Graveyard ("Master of the Sevens Road": 3000/2100 → 5100/2100). Yuga activates the Spell Card "Sevens Road Boost", choosing a face-up DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monster he controls to prevent it from being destroyed by Trap Card effects this turn and increase its ATK by 200 for each DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monsters in his Graveyard. Yuga chooses "Master of the Sevens Road", and he has seven DARK Spellcaster Type monsters in his Graveyard ("Master of the Sevens Road": 5100/2100 → 6500/2100). "Master of the Sevens Road" attacks "Hard Rock", but as his opponent's monster declared an attack while he has a Fiend Type monster in his Graveyard, Roa activates his Set Trap Card "King's Management", reducing the ATK of the attacking monster by 500 for each Fiend Type Normal Monster in Roa's Graveyard, then Yuga draws a card. Roa has three Fiend Type Normal Monsters in his Graveyard ("Royal Rebel's Fanatic", "Babysitter Goat" and "Garmr"; "Master of the Sevens Road": 6500/2100 → 5000/2100) and Yuga draws an unknown card. The attack continues and "Hard Rock" is destroyed (Roa: 2700 → 200 LP).
Turn 6: Roa
Roa draws "King's Greed", "Followl of the Dark Wisdom", "Royal Rebel's Doom Metal", "Royal Rebel's No Wave" and "Royal Rebel's Break". Roa Normal Summons "Royal Rebel's Break" (800/0). As Yuga controls a Level 8 or higher monster, Roa activates the effect of "Break", Special Summoning a Level 5 or higher Fiend Type Normal Monster from his hand in face-up Defense Position, then increasing the Level of "Break" by 5 until the end of the turn. Roa Special Summons the Level 7 "Royal Rebel's No Wave" (0/2600) from his hand ("Break": Level 2 → Level 7). Roa Tributes "Break" and "No Wave" to Tribute Summon "Royal Rebel's Doom Metal" (2500/2000). As Roa Normal Summoned a Level 7 or higher monster, Yuga activates his Set Trap Card "Sevens Road Protection", preventing DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monsters he controls from being destroyed by card effects until the end of the turn, and if he has "Sevens Road Magician" in his Graveyard, the Summoned monster is changed to face-up Defense Position. Yuga changes "Doom Metal" to face-up Defense Position. Roa Normal Summons "Followl of the Dark Wisdoom" (1100/400). Roa activates the Spell Card "King's Greed", shuffling three Level 7 or higher LIGHT Fiend Type monsters from his Graveyard into his Deck to change an Attack Position LIGHT Attribute Fiend Type monster he controls to face-up Defense Position, then draw two cards. Roa shuffles the Level 8 "Heavy Metal", the Level 7 "Invasion", and the Level 8 "Hard Rock" from his Graveyard into his Deck, changes "Followl" to face-up Defense Position and draws "Heavy Metal" and "King's Style".[Note 2] Roa Tributes "Doom Metal" and "Followl" to Tribute Summon "Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal" (2500/0). Roa activates the Field Spell Card "King's Style". The effect of "King's Style" decreases the Levels of all Level 4 or higher non-Fiend Type monsters on the field by 3 ("Master of the Sevens Road": Level 9 → Level 6). As "Heavy Metal" was Normal Summoned this turn by Tributing a Level 5 or higher monster, Roa activates its effect, choosing the Level 8 or lower monster Yuga controls with the lowest Level to have "Heavy Metal" gain ATK equal to that monster's ATK, then destroy that monster. Roa chooses the Level 6 "Master of the Sevens Road", but the effect of "Sevens Road Protection" prevents "Master of the Sevens Road" from being destroyed ("Heavy Metal": 2500/0 → 7600/0). "Heavy Metal" attacks and destroys "Master of the Sevens Road" (Yuga: 900 → 0 LP).
