{{episode summary|A relief package has arrived on the [[Valvelgear]]. However, what the crew finds isn't supplies, but rather, [[Manabu Sogetsu|Manabu]] and [[Nyandestar]]. Everyone on the Valvelgear has been losing their minds from eating the same flavor of curry bread over and over again, and so, more chaos breaks out as they fight over a single sweet treat. [[Ehoko Kamijo|Epoch]] and Manabu then [[Duel]] against each other to decide who should be captain and get the Valvelgear under control!}}

==Featured Duel: Ehoko "Epoch" Kamijo vs Manabu Sogetsu==
The [[Duel]] is conducted as a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]].

<u>'''Turn 1: Epoch'''</u><br/>
[[Ehoko Kamijo|Epoch]]'s [[hand]] contains "[[Dice Kiss]]", two copies of "[[Dice Demon (anime)|Dice Demon]]", "[[Skull Dice (anime Rush Duel)|Skull Dice]]" and "[[Dice Archdemon (anime)|Dice Archdemon]]". Epoch [[Normal Summon]]s two copies of "Dice Demon" (600/0). Epoch [[Tribute]]s both copies of "Dice Demon" to [[Tribute Summon]] "Dice Archdemon" (2400/1500). Epoch [[Set]]s "Dice Kiss" and "Skull Dice" in her [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s.

<u>'''Turn 2: Manabu'''</u><br/>
[[Manabu Sogetsu|Manabu]]'s hand contains "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]", "[[Chemicalize Despise (anime)|Chemicalize Despise]]", "[[Chemicalize Salamander (anime)|Chemicalize Salamander]]", "[[Doctor Red Robe (anime)|Doctor Red Robe]]" and "[[Hot the Combustion Spirit (anime)|Hot the Combustion Spirit]]". Manabu Normal Summons "Hot" (800/900) and "Doctor Red Robe" (1500/0). As "Hot" was Normal Summoned this [[turn]], Manabu [[activate]]s its [[effect]] to [[send]] cards from the top of his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]] equal to the number of different [[Type]]s among the [[face-up]] [[Monster Card|monster]]s on his [[field]], and if he sent two or more [[Pyro]] Type monsters to the Graveyard this way, he [[Draw a card|draw]]s a card. Manabu sends "[[Blast Examiner (anime)|Blast Examiner]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Manabu Tributes "Doctor Red Robe" and "Hot" to Tribute Summon "Chemicalize Salamander" (2500/1500). Manabu activates the effect of "Chemicalize Salamander", [[Shuffle|shuffling]] three Pyro Type monsters from his Graveyard into the Deck to decrease the [[ATK]] of all face-up monsters on Epoch's field by the number of monsters in her Graveyard x 100 until the end of this turn. Manabu shuffles "Hot", "Doctor Red Robe" and "Blast Examiner" from his Graveyard into the Deck ("Dice Archdemon": 2400/1500 → 2200/1500). Manabu Sets "Fusion" and "Chemicalize Despise" in his Spell & Trap Zones. "Chemicalize Salamander" [[attack]]s "Dice Archdemon". As Manabu's monster [[declare]]d an attack, Epoch activates her [[face-down]] [[Trap Card]] "Skull Dice" to roll a six-sided die, and she decreases the ATK and [[DEF]] of all face-up monsters on Manabu's field by the result x 100 until the end of this turn. Epoch  tries to cheat to roll a six but rolls a one ("Chemicalize Salamander": 2500/1500 → 2400/1400). The attack continues and "Dice Archdemon" is [[destroy]]ed (Epoch: 4000 → 3800 [[LP]]). As Manabu ends his turn, the ATK and DEF of "Chemicalize Salamander" return to normal ("Chemicalize Salamander": 2400/1400 → 2500/1500).

<u>'''Turn 3: Epoch'''</u><br/>
Epoch draws "[[Dice Key Caramail (anime)|Dice Key Caramail]]", "[[Dicemite Girl Chirori (anime)|Dicemite Girl Chirori]]", "[[Dice Key Minna (anime)|Dice Key Minna]]" and two copies of "[[Dice Angel (anime)|Dice Angel]]". Epoch Normal Summons two copies of "Dice Angel" (0/600). Epoch Tributes both copies of "Dice Angel" to Tribute Summon "Chirori" (2400/1600). Epoch activates the effect of "Chirori" to roll a six-sided die, and until the end of this turn she decreases its ATK by 1000 if the result is one or two, increases its ATK by 600 if the result is three or four, or increases its ATK by the [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] of a face-up monster on Manabu's field if the result is five or six. Epoch rolls a three ("Chirori": 2400/1600 → 3000/1600). Epoch Normal Summons "Minna" (1200/0) and "Caramail" (300/1200). As Epoch has a face-up monster with an effect that requires a die roll on her field, she activates the effect of "Minna", sending the top card of her Deck to the Graveyard to increase the ATK of all face-up monsters on her field by 600 until the end of Manabu's next turn, then Epoch can [[Add a card|add]] a [[Fairy]] Type monster with 300 ATK/1200 DEF from her Graveyard to her hand. Epoch sends an unknown card from the top of her Deck to the Graveyard ("Caramail": 300/1200 → 900/1200; "Chirori": 3000/1600 → 3600/1600; "Minna": 1200/0 → 1800/0). The [[Continuous Effect]] of "Caramail" prevents Manabu from activating Trap Cards during the [[Battle Phase]] while Epoch has a face-up [[Level]] 7 or higher monster with an effect that requires a die roll on her field. "Chirori" attacks and destroys "Chemicalize Salamander" (Manabu: 4000 → 2900 LP). "Minna" and "Caramail" attack Manabu [[Direct attack|directly]] (Manabu: 2900 → 1100 → 200 LP). As Epoch ends her turn, the ATK of "Chirori" returns to normal ("Chirori": 3600/1600 → 3000/1600).

<u>'''Turn 4: Manabu'''</u><br/>
Manabu draws "[[Chemicalize Tropos Rapier]]", "[[Chromatographagas (anime)|Chromatographagas]]", "[[Super Assistant Achi (anime)|Super Assistant Achi]]", "[[Super Assistant Biri (anime)|Super Assistant Biri]]" and "[[Super Assistant Hiya (anime)|Super Assistant Hiya]]". Manabu Normal Summons "Biri" (0/1000), "Hiya" (0/1000) and "Achi" (0/1500). Manabu Tributes "Biri" and "Hiya" to Tribute Summon "Chromatographagas" (2500/1600). Manabu activates his face-down [[Spell Card]] "Fusion" to [[Fusion Summon]] by sending face-up monsters from his field to the Graveyard as [[material]]. Manabu sends "Achi" and "Chromatographagas" from his field to the Graveyard and Fusion Summons "[[Super Graphagas Archer (anime)|Super Graphagas Archer]]" (3000/2500) in [[Attack Position]]. As Manabu Normal or [[Special Summon]]ed a face-up Level 7 or higher monster, Epoch activates her face-down Trap Card "Dice Kiss", [[return]]ning up to two monsters from her field to the [[owner]]'s hand to roll a six-sided die, and she increases the ATK of a face-up monster on her field by the result x the number of the monsters returned this way x 100 until the end of this turn. Epoch returns "Caramail" and "Minna" from her field to her hand, rolls a six and chooses "Chirori" ("Chirori": 3000/1600 → 4200/1600). Manabu activates the [[Equip Spell Card]] "Chemicalize Tropos Rapier", shuffling three Pyro/[[Aqua]]/[[Thunder]] Type monsters from his Graveyard into the Deck and [[equip]]ping it to a face-up monster on the field to decrease its ATK by 1000, but it cannot be destroyed by Trap Card effects, and if it is a [[Maximum Monster]], it can attack directly. Manabu shuffles "Hiya", "Biri" and "Achi" from his Graveyard into the Deck and equips "Chemicalize Tropos Rapier" to "Chirori" ("Chirori": 4200/1600 → 3200/1600). Manabu activates the effect of "Archer", placing a Level 7 Pyro Type [[Normal Monster]] from his Graveyard on top of his Deck to increase its ATK by 2500 until the end of this turn, then he can decrease the ATK of a face-up Level 9 or lower monster on Epoch's field by 1500 until the end of this turn. Manabu places "Chromatographagas" from his Graveyard on top of his Deck ("Archer": 3000/2500 → 5500/2500), then chooses "Chirori" ("Chirori": 3200/1600 → 1700/1600). "Archer" attacks and destroys "Chirori" (Epoch: 3800 → 0 LP).
