Turn 1: Yusei

Yusei also tunes "Nitro Synchron" with "Quillbolt Hedgehog" and Synchro Summons "Armory Arm," equipping it to "Junk Warrior" for a total of 4400 ATK. Yusei attempts to attack for an OTK, but Akiza responds with "Nature's Reflection," negating Effect damage from "Armory Arm" and inflicting an equivalent amount against Yusei. "Witch of the Black Rose" is destroyed normally. Both characters break the fourth wall by addressing the live audience before Yusei ends his turn. (Yusei 4000 → 2300, Akiza 4000 → 1300)

Yusei attacks directly with "Junk Destroyer" and Akiza responds with the "Seed of Deception" she set in Turn 6. She Special Summons the last card in her hand, "Dark Verger," which is subsequently attacked and destroyed by "Junk Destroyer." At the End Phase, "Wicked Rebirth's" anime effect Special Summons "Black Rose Dragon" from the Graveyard and it has its ATK raised to 3400 due to "Overdoom Line."

Turn 12: Akiza

"Stardust Dragon" attacks "Junk Destroyer," and Yusei Banishes "Shield Warrior" from his Graveyard to prevent "Junk Destroyer" from being destroyed by battle. (Yusei 900 → 400) As Akiza ends her turn, "Stardust Dragon" resumes Yusei's control and "Overdoom Line" is destroyed by its own effect.
