{{episode summary|[[Charlie McCay]] escapes on the single-track railroad and Yuma starts the Duel. But Charlie's "[[Number 7: Lucky Straight]]" possesses amazing luck. If he hits the jackpot by rolling the dice, then Charlie's [[Life Points]] will become 100,000. On the verge of giving up when all of his attempts to stop that strong luck become fruitless, [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] discovers an unexpected strategy.}}

[[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] [[Set]]s a [[monster]] and a card.

[[Charlie McCay|Charlie]] [[activate]]s the [[Continuous Spell Card]], "[[Take a Chance (card)|Take a Chance]]". Once per [[turn]] he may roll a die. If the result is 6, his [[Life Points]] will be multiplied by 5. If the result is anything else, die rolls will be [[negate]]d and he will receive 1000 [[effect damage|damage]] during each of his [[Standby Phase]]s. He rolls a 6, so his Life Points are multiplied by 5 (Charlie 4000 → 20000). He then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Majestic Jester]]" (0/0). It [[attack]]s Yuma's [[face-down]] monster, which is "[[Gogogo Golem]]" (1800/1500). The [[effect]] of "Majestic Jester" activates, letting Charlie roll a die. If the result is 6, the attack [[target]] will be [[destroy]]ed. Otherwise, "Majestic Jester" will be destroyed. He rolls a 6, so "Gogogo Golem" is destroyed. Charlie Sets a card.

Yuma Normal Summons "[[Gagaga Magician]]" (1500/1000). He then activates "[[Monster Slots]]", [[banish]]ing the [[Level]] 4 "Gogogo Golem" in his [[Graveyard]] to target the Level 4 "Gagaga Magician". He will [[draw a card|draw]] one card. If the monster is the same Level as the other two, it will be [[Special Summon]]ed. If not, both it and "Gagaga Magician" will be banished. He draws the Level 3 "[[Gagaga Girl]]", so both cards are banished. <ref group=Notes name=monster_slots>In the ''[[OCG]]/[[TCG]]'', "[[Monster Slots]]" doesn't [[banish]] cards if the [[draw a card|drawn]] [[monster]] isn't the same [[Level]] as the [[target]].</ref>

Charlie activates the effect of "Take a Chance" and rolls a 6, so his Life Points are multiplied by 5 (Charlie 20000 → 100000). Charlie activates "[[Release Change]]", [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Majestic Jester" to Special Summon a monster with the same Level from his hand - "[[Dice Leveler]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then activates "Monster Slots", banishing the Level 1 "Majestic Jester" from his Graveyard to target the Level 1 "Dice Leveler". He draws another "Dice Leveler", which is Special Summoned (0/0) in Attack Position. Charlie Normal Summons a third "Dice Leveler" (0/0). He activates the effects of all three "Dice Levelers". He may roll a die for each. The Level of each will be increased by the result of each respective die. He gets three 6s, so all three become Level 7. He [[Xyz Material|overlay]]s his three Level 7 monsters to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Number 7: Lucky Straight]]" (700/700) in Attack Position. Charlie activates the effect of "Lucky Straight", [[detach]]ing an [[Xyz Material|Overlay Unit]] from when it battles. He will roll a die and its [[ATK]] will be multiplied by the result. He rolls a 6, so the ATK of "Lucky Straight" becomes 4200.<ref group=Notes name=lucky_stripe>In the ''OCG'', the effect of "[[Number 7: Lucky Straight]]" is an [[Ignition Effect]] that [[activate]]s during [[Main Phase]] and rolls two dice to change its [[ATK]] to the highest result x700, with an additional [[effect]] if the sum is equal to 7.</ref> "Lucky Straight" attacks [[direct attack|directly]], but Yuma activates his face-down "[[Nitwit Outwit]]", [[send]]ing the "[[Zubaba Knight]]" in his hand to the Graveyard to reduce the [[Battle Damage]] taken by the ATK of the sent monster (Yuma 4000 → 1400).<ref group=Notes name=nitwitoutwit>In the ''[[OCG]]/[[TCG]]'', "[[Nitwit Outwit]]" instead reduces the [[ATK]] of the [[target]] opponent monster by the ATK of the discarded monster.</ref> At the end of the [[Battle Phase]], the ATK of "Lucky Straight" returns to 700.

Yuma Normal Summons "[[Ganbara Knight]]" (0/1800). As he Normal Summoned a Level 4 monster, he Special Summons "[[Kagetokage]]" (1100/1500) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Yuma overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. "Utopia" attacks "Lucky Straight", but Charlie activates his face-down "[[Dice Crisis]]", rolling a die. If the result is 6, he can [[equip]] "Dice Crisis" to "Utopia" to take [[control]] of it and reduce its ATK to 0. He rolls a 6, so he takes control of "Utopia" and its ATK becomes 0. Yuma Sets a card.

As Charlie begins his turn, Yuma activates his face-down "[[Commander of Swords]]" as there is a [[LIGHT]] [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] monster on the field. Charlie will reveal his drawn card. If it is a [[Spell Card|Spell]] or [[Trap Card]], Yuma may either destroy it or a Spell or Trap Card Charlie controls.<ref group=Notes name=commanderofswords>In the ''[[OCG]]/[[TCG]]'', "[[Commander of Swords]]" doesn't require a [[LIGHT]] [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] monster to be on the field in order to be activated. Also, its first effect discards the drawn card, not destroys it.</ref> Charlie draws "[[Sun Scale]]" - a Spell Card. Yuma chooses to destroy it. Its effect activates, inflicting 500 damage to Yuma (Yuma 1400 → 900). Charlie activates the effect of "Take a Chance". He rolls a 1, so his Life Points return to what they were before his initial activation of the card (Charlie 100000 → 4000). Also, the effects of all further die rolls are negated, so Charlie cannot use the effect of "Lucky Straight".  

Yuma activates "[[Comeback!]]", returning "Utopia" to his control. As his Life Points are 1000 or lower, Yuma Special Summons "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray]]" (2500/2000) from his [[Extra Deck]], with "Utopia" and its Overlay Units becoming the Overlay Units of "Utopia Ray". Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia Ray" three times, detaching the three Overlay Units to increase the ATK of "Utopia Ray" by 1500, to 4000 and decrease the ATK of "Lucky Straight" by 3000, to 0. "Utopia Ray" attacks and destroys "Lucky Straight" (Charlie 4000 → 0).
