==Summary==
[[File:Yuga_disguises_Roads_as_Seatbastian_and_Kaizo.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Yuga]] disguises Roads as [[Seatbastian]] and [[Kaizo]].]]
At the [[Abandoned Dorm (SEVENS)|Abandoned Dorm]], [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]], [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]], [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]], [[Rayne]] and [[Rino]] are digging under the supervision of the [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]], Romin asking why she has to do this. Gavin replies that it's the collective responsibility of the [[Rush Duel Club]], while Luke is taking a "[[Piercing Dragon Bunker Strike (anime)|Bunker Strike]]" approach to his shovelling. [[Galian Townsend|Galian]], his own shovel in hand, warns Luke to be careful with his, as they are the ancestors of heavy machinery. Romin asks Galian why he's still here, and Galian replies that he came here himself; having lost GG03 all he can do is return the to the basics and confront his heavy machinery as he caresses' his shovel. Rayne wonders if Galian is suffering from GG03 Withdrawal Syndrome, and Gavin notes that Galian is in shock after all. They break for lunch, and when Romin wonders how long they'll have to do this, Yuga reassures her that they're the lowest of the low now and unlikely to be bothered, so they can take it easy. Gavin quietly asks Yuga what he means, given that they came here to learn the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club's secret, and Yuga confirms that they are, though Romin is skeptical given the high security. Yuga reassures them that the high security only applies to ''them'', and covertly indicates [[Kaizo]] and [[Seatbastian]] - or rather, the Roads he has disguised as them. Gavin asks where they are now, and Yuga explains that he sent them to Nexus, which Gavin and Romin realize that means Yuga has sent them to [[Nail Saionji|Nail]], and Yuga confirms that he wants to inform Nail about what's happening here, and suggests that he may know where [[Asana Mutsuba|Asana]] got [[Wyrm Excavator the Heavy Cavalry Draco (anime)|her]] [[Maximum Monster|Maximum]]. Right on cue, the oblivious Luke finishes eating and demands a massage from Seatbastian, forcing his friends to try and keep hm quiet.

In the nearby forest, a Heavy Cavalry student hears a rustle in the bushes and goes to investigate, but only finds Seatbastian in his chair mode and decides to take a break. He has a short massage before being warned not to slack off by another Heavy Cavalry student, and they quickly rush off. Once the coast is clear, Seatbastian retreats into the bushes with Kaizo, lamenting at the notion of a background character sitting on a massage throne like him. Kaizo calls him "chair" and tells him to hurry up so they can escape, and Seatbastian insists that he is a throne, oblivious to the security camera recording him. The camera is being watched by the Heavy Cavalry club, who ask [[Schubel Quill|Schubel]] what they should do as [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] chirps from his shoulder, and Schubel orders them to deploy the "Empire", much to the surprise of his fellow club members, explaining that they can't let even a fly escape, a sentiment Pidgetrap chirps in agreement with.

[[File:Seatbastian_and_Kaizo_begin_arguing_again.png|thumb|left|250px|Seatbastian and Kaizo begin arguing again.]]
Back in the forest, Kaizo asks Seatbastian how far the Door of Curiosity is, and Seatbastian reminds him that it's the [[Gate of Curiosity|''Gate'' of Curiosity]] and is likely still some time away. Kaizo notes that Seven is still a while away, and Seatbastian once again corrects him that it is ''Nexus'', though he knows a shortcut. Kaizo suggests they hurry and meet Nile, and Seatbastian flicks him away in anger, reminding Kaizo that it is Master ''Nail'', spelling it out for Kaizo, who claims that's what he said. Seatbastian is embarrassed that Kaizo would slip up so and that he is a [[Goha Enterprises Drone|Drone]] like him. Kaizo accuses Seatbastian of being a traitorous chatterchair for cozying up to Asana because of her power and suggests he shouldn't talk, prompting Seatbastian to call him a piece of junk. Kaizo angrily asks if Seatbastian wants to fight again, and Seatbastian declares that they will settle the score this time. Kaizo suggests that the first to make it to Nail will win, and Seatbastian agrees, stating that Kaizo will apologize for his disrespect when he wins, while Kaizo claims that Seatbastian will have to bow until he breaks if he loses. They get ready to begin, but Kaizo claims to have seen a UFO and distracts Seatbastian long enough to get a head start, much to Seatbastian's anger. Despite this, Seatbastian is still confident he will win, given that only he and Nail he know the shortcut to Nexus.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Terra_Kneadalina_introduces_herself.png|thumb|250px|[[Terra Kneadalina]] introduces herself.]]</div>
But as they run, they sky darkens and it begins to rain. As they move through the forest, Kaizo contacts Seatbastian, noting that it only takes 0.05 seconds for Drones to communicate with one another, and claims to be talking to himself, but notes that there's a nearby cave that it might be nice to shelter from the rain in. Seatbastian sighs, but he diverts from his path and finds Kaizo in the cave drying by a fire and sits down beside him. They exchange glances, but just as Seatbastian begins to speak a familiar voice calls "Drilling-drilling-drilling!" and a spinning object bursts from the ground in front of them and expands into a girl resembling [[Celestia Noodlina]], greeting the people of the surface and claiming to be a Subterranean from the Shiatsu Nether-Empire, introducing herself as [[Terra Kneadalina]]. Seatbastian asks in surprise if Celestia wasn't once of Nail's henchmen, though Terra claims to have never heard of an alien whose name is pronounced as "Celestia" and introduces herself again. Naturally, Kaizo is enthralled with her, but then Terra observes that this is one of the flies she can't let through, much to Kaizo's surprise, and she straps on a [[Duel Disk]], challenging them to a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]. The Drones are shocked by the challenge, and Seatbastian realizes that Terra is with [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]]. Terra challenges them to her "Shiastu" Duel, which will leave them unable to stand, and though Kaizo is eager to Duel her, Seatbastian insists that he will take on the challenge. Kaizo flies forwards to Duel anyway until Seatbastian contacts him and he retreats, Seatbastian claiming that pieces of junk should step back, as he has prepared for when this day would inevitably come. Seatbastian explains that this will be a fight between the massage chair and acupressure; the decisive battle to decide which best heals humanity. Kaizo asks what Seatbastian is on about, but Terra doesn't mind who Duels and just wants to start. Seatbastian politely asks her to accept his Duel, and they extend their Duel Disks, calling "Rush Duel!" and deploying the green holographic dome around them.

[[File:Seatbastian Special Summons both Throne of Darkness and Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair.png|thumb|left|250px|Seatbastian [[Special Summon]]s both "[[Throne of Darkness (anime)|Throne of Darkness]]" and "[[Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair]]".]]
Seatbastian politely declares his turn and draws "[[Scarechair Relaxer (anime)|Scarechair Relaxer]]", which he adds to his hand, also containing "[[Scarechair Saber (anime)|Scarechair Saber]]", two copies of "[[Scarechair Gear (anime)|Scarechair Gear]]", and "[[Darkness Ri-chair-al (anime)|Darkness Ri-chair-al]]". Welcoming Terra to the Massage Chair Salon, he Summons "Scarechair Relaxer", then sends a card from his hand to the [[Graveyard]] (a "Scarechair Gear") to activate the effect of "Massage", sending the top two cards of his Deck to the Graveyard, and then if one of them was [[DARK]], he can add it to his hand, then increase Terra's [[LP]] by its [[ATK]]. Having sent a "[[Scarechair Bone (anime)|Scarechair Bone]]" and another "Massage" to his Graveyard, Seatbastian adds the zero ATK "Massage" to his hand as Terra notes that she basically gains nothing as a result. Seatbastian Summons his second "Scarechair Relaxer" and sends his other "Gear" from his hand to activate its effect, this time sending the third "Gear" and third "Massage" to the Graveyard and adding the third "Massage" to his hand, once again with zero ATK as Kaizo notes and Terra merrily sings. Seatbastian Summons his third "Scarechair Relaxer" and uses its effect as well, smiling and commenting "M-m-m-massage" as he sends "Saber" from his hand to the Graveyard and "[[Throne of Darkness (anime)|Throne of Darkness]]" and "[[Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair]]" form his Deck to the Graveyard, adding "Dahut" to his hand and revealing it to Terra. Kaizo cheerfully comments that "Dahut" has zero ATK too and calls it a scam recovery effect, though Terra doesn't seem too worried. Kaizo suggests contacting the Goha Customer Support Center, but Terra bumps him away and claims that flies should be quiet, prompting Kaizo to mute himself. Seatbastian declares that his massage has not ended yet and sends his three Chairs to the Graveyard to activate the [[Spell Card]] "Darkness Ri-chair-al", [[Special Summon]]ing "Throne of Darkness" from his Graveyard, then drawing another card since the three monsters he sent to the Graveyard to activate his Spell had the same name. Then since he has at least eight monsters in his Graveyard with zero ATK, Seatbastian activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness" to Special Summon "Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair" from his hand. Terra reacts with interest, and Seatbastian crows that while she was pretending to be healed, he completed all the preparations for his massage. But Terra asks if he's done, and to his shock, Seatbastian sees her lying on six drills, which she claims are the best for pressure points on the back. Seatbastian isn't happy, [[Set]]ting his "[[Power of the Throne]]" [[Trap Card]] and ending his turn, and once he's done so, Terra leaps off the drills, pleased that he's finally done.

[[File:Magmassage powers up Seatbastian's Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair to bypass the effect of Power of the Throne.png|thumb|250px|"[[Magmassage (anime)|Magmassage]]" powers up Seatbastian's "Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair" to bypass the [[effect]] of "Power of the Throne".]]
She declares her turn and draws "[[Magmashiatsu]]", which she adds to her hand containing "[[Aromagmabear (anime)|Aromagmabear]]", two copies of "[[Tsuvolcano (anime)|Tsuvolcano]]", and "[[Magmassage (anime)|Magmassage]]", then Summons the two "Tsuvolcano" and her "Aromagmabear", before [[Tribute|Tributing]] one "Tsuvolcano" to [[Tribute Summon]] "Magmashiatsu". Seatbastian activates his "Power of the Throne" Trap by returning "Throne of Darkness" to his hand, explaining that it forces Terra to draw cards equal to the [[Level]] of the returned monster, and as "Throne of Darkness" was [[Level 8 Monster Cards|Level 8]], Terra draws eight new cards. Seatbastian adds that Terra will also be unable to attack monsters with zero ATK for the rest of the turn, insisting that her thumbs will not press anywhere. Terra asks if Seatbastian knows that it's called a thumbprint when one presses their thumb down, much to Seatbastian's irritation. Terra then sends "Magmassage" and her third "Tsuvolcano" from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Aromagmabear", gaining 300 LP for each card she sent and claiming that acupressure will change one's life as her LP rises to 4600. Then she sends three cards (another "Magmashiatsu", Aromagmabear", and one other [[Effect Monster]]) from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Magmashiatsu", changing the Level of a monster by the same value. Seatbastian calls it a meaningless move as this does not change its ATK, but is shocked when Terra chooses to change the Level of ''"Dahut"'' by 3, reducing it to a [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]] monster with an acupressure session. Then she Tributes her remaining "Tsuvolcano" and her "Aromagmabear" to Tribute Summon "Magmassage". She sends a monster from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Magmassage", increasing the ATK of a Level 4 or lower monster by 500 for each monster she sent, and "Magmassage" blasts green lightning from its fingertips, increasing the ATK of ''"Dahut"'' to 500. And since it no longer has zero ATK, she can attack it, a move Seatbastian admits is surprisingly cunning. Terra Sets two cards and then declares her [[Battle Phase]], attacking "Dahut" with "Magmashiatsu", who destroys "Dahut" with a rapid barrage of thumbprints and reduces Seatbastian to 3000 LP. Then "Magmassage" [[direct attack|attacks directly]], blasting red lightning at Seatbastian that reduces him to 900 LP. Terra bows, declaring that they look forward to seeing him again and lying back on her six drills as she ends her turn.

Seatbastian vows that he's only just begun, and he declares his turn and draws four cards; "[[Scarechair Scale (anime)|Scarechair Scale]]", "Scarechair Saber", "[[Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair]]", and "[[Joining Chairs (anime)|Joining Chairs]]", in addition to his "Throne of Darkness". He Summons "Scarechair Scale" and activates its effect, returning two zero ATK monsters from his Graveyard to the bottom of his Deck, then Special Summons "Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair" from his Graveyard. Seatbastian then Summons "Scarechair Saber" and Tribute it and "Scale" to Tribute Summon, [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|chanting]] "Even if the king dies, the throne does not! Come forth, Throne of Darkness!" He thinks in satisfaction that he just needs to use the effect of "Dahut" on "Throne of Darkness" to increase its ATK to 4000, allowing him to settle this in one blow, but Terra activates a Trap Card, "[[Pressure Pointer Skill]]", gaining 500 LP for each monster on the field and claiming that "Pressure Pointer Skill" is also the heart of a Duel, as acupressure will change one's life, rising to 5600 LP. Seatbastian gasps "What?!" and Terra also reveals that all monsters Seatbastian controls will also gain 500 ATK until the end of the turn, rising them both to 500 ATK and preventing him from using the effect of "Dahut", who she gives another acupressure session. Seatbastian snaps that none of it hurts, much to her confusion, and he asks who she thinks he is; he is the ultimate massage chair, a massage throne that surpasses human fingers in terms of comfort. Since he has at last eight zero ATK monsters in his Graveyard, he activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness", chanting "It is time for a new king to sit upon the throne! Come forth! Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair!"

[[File:Seatbastian_is_able_to_reduce_the_ATK_of_Throne_of_Darkness_again_allowing_him_to_use_the_effect_of_Dahut.png|thumb|250px|Seatbastian is able to reduce the ATK of "Throne of Darkness" again, allowing him to use the effect of "Dahut".]]
Seatbastian then activates the "[[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|Force of the Ys]]" effect of "Dahut Abyss", returning all zero ATK Chairs in his Graveyard to his Deck to reduce the ATK of "Throne of Darkness" by 300 for each monster returned, and then increasing the ATK of "Dahut Abyss" by 300 for each monster returned. "Throne of Darkness" returns to zero ATK, while "Dahut Abyss" rises to 2400 ATK as Terra calculates and freaks out about. Seatbastian boasts that a massage throne like him lacks a single pain point and sends "[[Collapsing Chairs (anime)|Collapsing Chairs]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the "Force of Ys" effect of "Dahut", who sits upon "Throne of Darkness" to gain 500 ATK times its Level, rising to 4500 ATK. Terra panics, and Seatbastian Sets a card, then declares that he will send her to an eternal rest with the best massage she has ever had. "Dahut" attacks "Magmashiatsu" with "Yscrew Burning", destroying it with a blast of blue energy and reducing Terra to 2600 LP with a panicked scream. Then "Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair" attacks "Magmassage" with "Ys Burning Screw", destroying it and reducing her to 2300 LP with a wail. At the end of the turn, the ATK of Seatbastian's monsters returns to normal, and he bows politely, ending his turn. He thinks that he'll be able to rub Terra out if he can survive until the next turn, and he is counting on his fellow chairs.

[[File:Magmax_Mantleveda_destroys_Dahut_and_Dahut_Abyss.png|thumb|left|250px|"[[Magmax Mantleveda (anime)|Magmax Mantleveda]]" destroys "Dahut" and "[[Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut Abyss]]".]]
Terra declares her turn and draws five cards, then Summons two "[[Anmagmabear (anime)|Anmagmabear]]", which she promptly Tributes to Tribute Summon, chanting "Greetings from the underground! Melt the earth, [[Magmax Mantleveda (anime)|Magmax Mantleveda]]!" Seatbastian activates a Trap Card, "Joining Chairs", changing "Dahut" and "Dahut Abyss" to [[Defense Position]], and Terra asks him why he's doing that. Seatbastian explains that she will be unable to attack "Throne of Darkness" while he controls his other monsters, but Terra simply declares herself the rumored golden finger from underground and sends another "Magmassage" from her hand to the Graveyard to activate the "Soothing Sleep Max" effect of "Magmax Mantleveda", destroying all monsters Seatbastian controls with the same Level as the one she sent to the Graveyard. Seatbastian gasps that "Magmassage" is Level 7, realizing what this will mean, and Terra lies down on her drills and bids him goodnight as "Magmax Mantleveda" rushes forwards and rapidly hits "Dahut" and then "Dahut Abyss" with a flaming thumb, destroying them both. Seatbastian can only cry "What?!" and Terra tells "Magmax Mantleveda" to hit the finishing point, ordering her to attack with "Sound-Sleep Beddy-Bye Attack of the Thumb", destroying "Throne of Darkness" and reducing Seatbastian's LP to zero, blasting him into the cave wall and badly damaging him.

[[File:Seatbastian_reveals_his_deception.png|thumb|250px|Seatbastian reveals his deception.]]
But despite his loss, Seatbastian is laughing, much to Terra's confusion. He explains that his duty was not to win, but to prolong the Duel for as long as possible, and Terra realizes that Kaizo is gone. Seatbastian confirms that Kaizo is fulfilling his promise to him; before the Duel, Seatbastian told Kaizo to find Nail while Seatbastian fulfilled his promise to Nail to protect Yuga and his friends; Kaizo can fly faster and thus it was better for him to go on ahead. He had ordered Kaizo to promise him to reach Nail, and Kaizo had agreed, but only as long as Seatbastian promised not to die here, as they still had to settle the score. Seatbastian confirms that was what they said to one another, and Terra huffs and drills into the ground.

At Goha #6 Elementary, Schubel is horrified that the Empire's security was broken; the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club have just received a reports stating that "the fly got away, but it's time for me to return home". Pidgetrap and Schubel are confused by the statement, but then Asana enters the room, Schubel calling her "Princess". Meanwhile alarms are sounding at the Abandoned Dorm, and as Gavin wonders what happened, Yuga deduces that Kaizo and Seatbastian must have escaped successfully, and he suggests they go now that security has been loosened. Romin asks where they're going, and Yuga points at the mine, stating that they're going to search for the truth.

[[File:Kaizo_finally_reaches_Nail.png|thumb|left|250px|Kaizo finally reaches [[Nail]].]]
Meanwhile, Kaizo has successfully reached the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] and is searching for the shortcut to Nexus, finally finding it in a trash can by a vending machine and telling Nail to come out, as Seatbastian told him about the shortcut, but finds himself trapped by the lid and drawn in, dropped into Nail's haven where he is reading. Nail comments that the shortcut should have been something that only he and Seatbastian knew about, and Kaizo flies up to Nail's eyeline, explaining that Seatbastian told him about the shortcut, much to Nail's surprise. Kaizo claims that Seatbastian should be here soon, as he's a high-performance massage throne and should be all right.

But in the forest outside the cave, the sun shines on the battered Seatbastian, and he laments that it seems he couldn't fulfill Kaizo's promise before shutting down.

[[File:Asana_vows_to_crush_Rush_Dueling_herself.png|thumb|250px|[[Asana]] vows to crush [[Rush Duel]]ing herself.]]
Nail asks Kaizo if there's an emergency, and Kaizo remembers why he came in the first place, explaining that Yuga and the others are in danger, much to Nail's quiet shock.

And at Goha #6 Elementary, Asana declares that the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club will completely crush Rush Dueling, and for that reason she will challenge Yuga to one last match. Schubel asks what she means, with Pidgetrap chirping in confusion, and Asana explains that in order to make Yuga bet his Rush Dueling she will bet Heavy Cavalry Duels in her challenge. Schubel protests over what will happen in the unlikely case that Asana loses, but Asana insists that she's prepared for the consequences and will crush Rush Dueling with her own hands. But then an emergency is declared: Yuga and his friends have escaped and gone into the underground tunnels. Asana gasps "What?!" as the cameras show the false Roads he used and the open mine entrance, and within the mine Yuga leads Romin, Luke, Gavin, Rayne and Rino, all using their Duel Disks as lights and back in their normal clothes as they venture deeper into the tunnels.

==Featured Duel: Seatbastian vs Terra Kneadalina==
[[File:Seatbastian VS Terra.png|thumb|left|250px|]]
The [[Duel]] is conducted as a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]].

<u>'''Turn 1: Seatbastian'''</u><br/>
[[Seatbastian]]'s [[hand]] contains "[[Scarechair Saber (anime)|Scarechair Saber]]", two copies of "[[Scarechair Gear (anime)|Scarechair Gear]]", and "[[Darkness Ri-chair-al (anime)|Darkness Ri-chair-al]]". Seatbastian [[draw a card|draws]] "[[Scarechair Relaxer (anime)|Scarechair Relaxer]]". Seatbastian [[Normal Summon]]s "Scarechair Relaxer" (0/500). Seatbastian activates the effect of "Relaxer", sending a monster with 0 [[ATK]] from his hand to the [[Graveyard]] to send the top two cards of his Deck to the Graveyard, then if he sent a [[DARK]] [[Attribute]] monster to the Graveyard this way, he can add a DARK Attribute monster from his Graveyard to his hand, but [[Terra Kneadalina|Terra]] will gain [[LP]] equal to the ATK of the monster Seatbastian added to his hand. Seatbastian sends "Scarechair Gear" from his hand and "[[Scarechair Bone (anime)|Scarechair Bone]]" and "Scarechair Relaxer" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard, then adds the 0 ATK "Relaxer" to his hand. Seatbastian Normal Summons a second copy of "Relaxer" (0/500). Seatbastian activates the effect of the second "Relaxer", sending "Gear" from his hand and a third "Gear" and "Relaxer" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard, then adds the 0 ATK "Relaxer" to his hand.

Seatbastian activates the [[Spell Card]] "Darkness Ri-chair-al", sending three DARK Attribute monsters from his field to the Graveyard to [[Special Summon]] a DARK Attribute monster from his Graveyard, then if he sent three monsters with the same name to the Graveyard, he can draw a card. Seatbastian sends his 3 "Relaxer" to the Graveyard, Special Summons "Throne of Darkness" (0/2500) in Attack Position, then draws 1 card. As Seatbastian has at least eight monsters with 0 ATK in his Graveyard, he activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness", Special Summoning a [[Level 7 Monster Cards|Level 7]] or higher monster with 0 ATK from his hand in Attack Position. He Special Summons "Dahut" (0/2400). Seatbastian [[Set]]s "[[Power of the Throne]]".

As Terra Normal Summoned a [[Level 5 Monster Cards|Level 5]] or higher monster, Seatbastian activates his Set [[Trap Card]] "Power of the Throne", returning a face-up monster with 0 ATK he controls to the hand to have Terra draw cards equal to that monster's [[Level]] and prevent her from attacking monsters Seatbastian controls with 0 ATK this turn. Seatbastian returns the [[Level 8 Monster Cards|Level 8]] "Throne of Darkness" to his hand, so Terra draws eight cards. Terra activates the effect of "Aromagmabear", sending up to two cards from her hand to the Graveyard to gain 300 LP for each card sent to the Graveyard this way. She sends "Magmassage" and "Tsuvolcano" to her Graveyard (Terra: 4000 → 4600 LP). Terra activates the effect of "Magmashiatsu", sending up to three [[Pyro]] [[Type]] monsters from her hand to the Graveyard to choose a monster on the field and either increase or decrease its Level by the number of cards sent to the Graveyard this way. She sends "Aromagmabear", "Magmashiatsu" and one other Pyro [[Effect Monster]] from her hand to the Graveyard and chooses to decrease the Level of "Dahut" ("Dahut": Level 7 → [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]]). Terra Tributes "Aromagmabear" and "Tsuvolcano" to Tribute Summon "Magmassage" (2100/2100). Terra activates the effect of "Magmassage", sending up to four cards from her hand to the Graveyard to choose a Level 4 or lower monster on the field and have it gain 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard this way.

<u>'''Turn 3: Seatbastian'''</u><br/>
Seatbastian draws "[[Scarechair Scale (anime)|Scarechair Scale]]", "Scarechair Saber", "[[Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut Abyss, Dark Mirror Ruler of the Chair]]", and "[[Joining Chairs (anime)|Joining Chairs]]". Seatbastian's hand contains "Throne of Darkness", "Scarechair Scale", "Saber", "Dahut Abyss" and "Joining Chairs". Seatbastian Normal Summons "Scarechair Scale" (0/100). As Seatbastian controls no other monsters, he activates the effect of "Scale", returning two monsters with 0 ATK from his Graveyard to the bottom of his Deck in any order to Special Summon a Level 7 or higher monster with 0 ATK from his Graveyard in Attack Position. He returns two copies of the 0 ATK "Relaxer" to the bottom of his Deck and Special Summons "Dahut" (0/2400) in Attack Position. Seatbastian Normal Summons "Scarechair Saber" (0/1400). Seatbastian Tributes "Saber" and "Scale" to Tribute Summon "Throne of Darkness" (0/2500). As Seatbastian Normal Summoned a monster while Terra has a Pyro Type monster in her Graveyard, she activates her Set Trap Card "[[Pressure Pointer Skill]]", allowing her to gain 500 LP for each monster Seatbastian controls (Terra: 4600 → 5600 LP), then have all face-up monsters Seatbastian controls gain 500 ATK until the end of the turn ("Throne of Darkness": 0/2500 → 500/2500) ("Dahut": 0/2400 → 500/2400). Seatbastian activates the effect of "Throne of Darkness", Special Summoning "Dahut Abyss" from his hand (0/2400) in Attack Position. Seatbastian activates the effect of "Dahut Abyss", returning any number of monsters with 0 ATK from his Graveyard to his Deck to choose a face-up monster on the field and have that monster lose 300 ATK for each monster returned, then have "Dahut Abyss" gain 300 ATK for each monster returned. He returns his three "Gear", "Bone", two "Saber", "Relaxer", and "Scale" to his Deck and chooses "Throne of Darkness" ("Throne of Darkness": 500/2500 → 0/2500) ("Dahut Abyss": 0/2400 → 2400/2400). Seatbastian activates the effect of "Dahut", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to choose another face-up monster he controls with 0 ATK to have "Dahut" gain ATK equal to that monster's Level x 500. He sends "[[Collapsing Chairs (anime)|Collapsing Chairs]]" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard and chooses "Throne of Darkness" ("Dahut": 500/2400 → 4500/2400). Seatbastian Sets a card. "Dahut" attacks and destroys "Magmashiatsu" (Terra: 5600 → 2600 LP). "Dahut Abyss" attacks and destroys "Magmassage" (Terra: 2600 → 2100 LP). At the end of the turn, the effects of "Dahut", "Dahut Abyss", and "Pressure Pointer Skill" expire ("Dahut": 4500/2400 → 0/2400) ("Dahut Abyss": 2400/2400 → 0/2400).

<u>'''Turn 4: Terra'''</u><br/>
Terra Normal Summons two copies of "[[Anmagmabear (anime)|Anmagmabear]]" (100/100). Terra Tributes both "Anmagmabear" to Tribute Summon "[[Magmax Mantleveda (anime)|Magmax Mantleveda]]" (2400/1500). As Terra Normal Summoned a monster while Seatbastian controls three Attack Position monsters with 0 ATK, Seatbastian activates his Set Trap Card "Joining Chairs", changing two Attack Position monsters he controls to face-up [[Defense Position]]. In addition, while Seatbastian controls a Defense Position monster, Terra cannot target Attack Position monsters Seatbastian controls for attacks this turn. He changes "Dahut" and "Dahut Abyss" to face-up Defense Position. Terra activates the effect of "Mantleveda", sending a Pyro Tyro monster from her hand to the Graveyard to destroy all face-up Defense Position monsters on the field with the same Level as that monster. She sends the Level 7 "Magmassage" to her Graveyard and destroys the Level 7 "Dahut" and "Dahut Abyss". "Mantleveda" attacks and destroys "Throne of Darkness" (Seatbastian: 900 → 0 LP).

== Errors ==
* After Seatbastian uses the [[effect]] of his first "[[Scarechair Relaxer (anime)|Scarechair Relaxer]]", Terra's [[hand]] is shown to contain two copies of "[[Tsuvolcano (anime)|Tsuvolcano]]", "[[Aromagmabear (anime)|Aromagmabear]]", and "[[Magmashiatsu]]"; after Terra [[Draw a card|draw]]s on her first [[turn]], her hand is shown to contain "Aromagmabear", two copies of "Tsuvolcano", and "[[Magmassage (anime)|Magmassage]]" instead, "Magmashiatsu" being the card she draws on her [[Draw Phase]].
* When Seatbastian draws his cards on his second turn, his copy of "[[Throne of Darkness (anime)|Throne of Darkness]]" is briefly replaced by another "[[Scarechair Saber (anime)|Scarechair Saber]]".
