He has 1 ("Speed Spell - End of the Storm"), so Dragan takes 800 damage (Dragan LP: 2000 → 1200). He then activates his Set "Descending Lost Star", Special Summoning "Red Dragon Archfiend" from his Graveyard in Defense Position. Its effects are negated, its Level is reduced by 1, and its DEF becomes 0. Jack Double Tunes "Red Dragon Archfiend" to "Top Runner" and "Barrier Resonator" to Synchro Summon "Red Nova Dragon" (3500/3000) in Attack Position. "Red Nova Dragon" gains 500 ATK for each Tuner monster in Jack's Graveyard ("Red Nova Dragon": 3500 → 4500/3000).

During the End Phase, Broder activates the effect of "Thor, Lord of the Aesir", Special Summoning it back from his Graveyard in Attack Position, then inflicting 800 damage to Jack (Jack LP: 900 → 100).

Turn 9: Crow Hogan

(Team 5D's SPC: 3 → 4) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 7 → 8) Since Broder controls a monster and he does not, Crow Normal Summons "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" (2000/900) in Attack Position without Tributing. Since he controls a "Blackwing" monster, Crow Special Summons "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwing" (1300/400) from his hand in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Gale the Whirlwind", halving the ATK and DEF of "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" (3500 → 1750/2800 → 1400) until the End Phase. Since the total Levels of the "Blackwing" monsters he controls equals at least 8, Crow Special Summons "Blackwing - Calima the Haze" from his hand in Attack Position. Crow tunes "Blackwing - Calima the Haze" to "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" to Synchro Summon "Blackwing Armor Master" (2500/1500) in Attack Position.

Crow attacks and destroys "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" with "Blackwing Armor Master" (Broder LP: 4000 → 3250).

Broder attacks and destroys "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" with the "Malus Token" (Crow LP: 3200 → 2450). He then attacks and destroys "Blackwing Armor Master" with "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" (Crow LP: 2450 → 1450).

Since at least two of his "Blackwing" monsters were destroyed this turn, Crow Special Summons "Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind" (1200/1800) from his hand in Attack Position. Since a "Blackwing" monster was Special Summoned, Crow activates his Set "Black Return", gaining LP equal to the ATK of "Thor, Lord of the Aesir", then returning that monster to Broder's hand. Broder counters with his Set "Nordic Relic Laevateinn". Since it destroyed a monster by battle this turn, Broder destroys "Thor, Lord of the Aesir". Since its target has left the field, "Black Return" resolves without effect. Broder Sets a card.

During the End Phase, Broder activates the effect of "Thor, Lord of the Aesir", Special Summoning it back from his Graveyard in Attack Position, then inflicting 800 damage to Crow (Crow LP: 1450 → 650).

Turn 11: Crow

(Team 5D's SPC: 5 → 6) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 9 → 10) Crow Normal Summons "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North" (1300/0) in Defense Position. He activates its effect, Special Summoning "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" from his Graveyard in Defense Position. Crow activates his Set "Blackboost", drawing two cards since he controls at least two "Blackwing" monsters. He then activates "Speed Spell - Speed Force", preventing Broder from destroying his cards with the effects of Spell and Trap Cards or effects until his next Standby Phase.

Crow activates the effect of "Gale the Whirlwind", halving the ATK of "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" (3500 → 1750/2800 → 1400) until the End Phase. He then tunes "Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind" to "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" to Synchro Summon "Black-Winged Dragon" (2800/1600) in Attack Position. Since "Brisote the Tailwind" was used as Synchro Material, Crow gains 600 LP (Crow LP: 650 → 1250). Crow attacks and destroys "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" with "Black-Winged Dragon" (Broder: 4000 → 2950).

During the End Phase, Broder activates the effect of "Thor, Lord of the Aesir", Special Summoning it back from his Graveyard in Attack Position, then inflicting 800 damage to Crow. However, Crow activates the effect of "Black-Winged Dragon", placing 1 Black Feather Counter on it instead. It loses 700 ATK for each "Black Feather Counter" on it ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2800 → 2100/1600).

Turn 12: Broder

The attack continues, and "Black-Winged Dragon" is destroyed (Crow LP: 1250 → 50). Broder attacks and destroys "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North" with "Thor, Lord of the Aesir".

Turn 13: Crow

(Team 5D's SPC: 7 → 8) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 11 → 12) Crow activates the effect of "Speed World 2", removing 7 Speed Counters (Team 5D's SPC: 8 → 1) to draw a card. Crow Sets two cards.

Turn 14: Broder

(Team 5D's SPC: 1 → 2) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 12) Broder activates the effect of "Speed World 2", removing 10 Speed Counters (Team Ragnarok SPC: 12 → 2) to destroy one of Crow's Set cards. Broder attacks Crow directly with "Loki, Lord of the Aesir"; however, Crow counters with his Set "Black Wing", preventing all monsters with 2000 or more ATK from attacking this turn. Broder activates the effect of "Loki, Lord of the Aesir", negating the activation and destroying "Black Wing".

The attack continues, but Crow activates the effect of "Blackwing - Calima the Haze" in his Graveyard, banishing it from his Graveyard to Special Summon "Black-Winged Dragon" from his Graveyard in Attack Position. A replay occurs, and Broder attacks "Black-Winged Dragon" with "Loki, Lord of the Aesir". Crow activates the effect of "Black Wing" in his Graveyard, banishing it and a second copy of "Black Wing" (destroyed by Broder earlier in the turn) from his Graveyard to destroy both "Black-Winged Dragon" and "Loki, Lord of the Aesir", then inflict damage to Broder equal to the ATK of his monster. Broder chains Crow's card with his Set "Dromi the Sacred Shackles", inflicting the difference in ATK between "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" and "Black-Winged Dragon" as damage to Crow. The effects apply (Crow LP: 50 → 0) (Broder: 2950 → 0).

As per the rules of the WRGP, the Duel immediately goes to Broder's End Phase. During the End Phase, Broder activates the effect of "Loki, Lord of the Aesir", Special Summoning it back to the field.

At this point, Crow and Broder pass the Duel to their final team members, Yusei and Halldor, respectively.

Yusei Fudo vs. Halldor
Turn 15: Yusei Fudo

(Team 5D's SPC: 2 → 3) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 2 → 3) Yusei Normal Summons "Cosmic Compass" (100/300) in Defense Position. Since it was Normal Summoned, Yusei its effect to Special Summon two "Cosmic Tokens" in Defense Position (1 for each monster Halldor controls). Yusei Sets two cards.

Turn 16: Halldor

(Team 5D's SPC: 3 → 4) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 3 → 4) Yusei activates his Set "Monster Chain", which gain 3 Chain Counters (1 for each monster Yusei controls). During each of Halldor's End Phases, Yusei must remove a Chain Counter from it, but while "Monster Chain" is face-up on the field, neither player can declare an attack. When "Monster Chain" no longer has a Chain Counter, it will be destroyed.

Halldor Normal Summons "Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant" (400/800) in Attack Position. He activates its effect, discarding two cards to Special Summon two "Einherjar Tokens" (1000/1000) in Defense Position. Halldor tunes his two "Einherjar Tokens" to "Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant" to Synchro Summon "Odin, Father of the Aesir" (4000/3500) in Attack Position.

He activates its effect, preventing his 3 "Aesir" monsters from being affected by Spell and Trap Cards and effects until the End Phase. Halldor attacks and destroys Yusei's two "Compass Tokens" with "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" and "Thor, Lord of the Aesir". Halldor then attacks and destroys Yusei's "Cosmic Compass" with "Odin, Father of the Aesir". Halldor Sets a card. During his End Phase, "Monster Chain" loses 1 Chain Counter (3 → 2).

Turn 17: Yusei

(Team 5D's SPC: 4 → 5) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 4 → 5) Since he has at least 2 Speed Counters, Yusei activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton", drawing one cards and discarding one from his hand. Yusei then Normal Summons "Debris Dragon" (1000/2000) in Attack Position. He activates its effect, Special Summoning "Cosmic Compass" from his Graveyard in Attack Position with its effects negated. Since he controls a Tuner monster, Yusei Special Summons "Quillbolt Hedgehog" (800/800), discarded with "Angel Baton", from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Since he Special Summoned a monster from the Graveyard, Yusei Special Summons "Doppelwarrior" (800/800) from his hand in Attack Position. Yusei tunes "Doppelwarrior" and "Quillbolt Hedgehog" to "Debris Dragon" to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon" (2500/2000) in Attack Position.

Since "Doppelwarrior" was sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, Yusei Special Summons a "Doppel Token" (400/400) in Attack Position. He then activates "Speed Spell - Overtune", Tributing the "Doppel Token" to Special Summon "Majestic Dragon" (0/0) in Attack Position. Yusei tunes "Stardust Dragon" and "Cosmic Compass" to "Majestic Dragon" to Synchro Summon "Majestic Star Dragon" (3800/3000) in Attack Position.

Since "Cosmic Compass" was sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, Yusei draws a card. Yusei then Sets a card. During his End Phase, the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" activates, returning itself to the Extra Deck and Special Summoning "Stardust Dragon" back from Yusei's Graveyard; however, Yusei activates his Set "Stay Force". By paying 1000 LP (Yusei LP: 4000 → 3000), he can negate the effects of "Majestic Star Dragon" for the rest of the turn, since it would remove itself from the field during the End Phase.

Turn 18: Halldor

(Team 5D's SPC: 5 → 6) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 5 → 6) Halldor activates his Set "Odin's Eye". Once a turn, by negating the effects of his "Aesir" monsters for the remainder of the turn, he can view the card that Yusei has Set. It is revealed to be "Wave Rebound". Halldor figures out that if he had activated the effect of any of his "Odin, Father of the Aesir", Yusei would have used the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" to destroy them all, and then, when Halldor revived his "Aesir" monsters during the End Phase, Yusei would have used "Wave Rebound" to negate their Summons and inflict damage to him equal to their total ATK. Halldor Sets a card. During his End Phase, "Monster Chain" loses 1 Chain Counter (2 → 1).

Turn 19: Yusei

(Team 5D's SPC: 6 → 7) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 6 → 7) Yusei activates the effect of "Speed World 2", removing 7 Speed Counters (Team 5D's SPC: 7 → 0) to draw a card. He then activates the effect of "Stay Force", paying 1000 LP (Yusei LP: 3000 → 2000) to prevent "Majestic Star Dragon" from leaving the field.

Turn 20: Halldor

(Team 5D's SPC: 0 → 1) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 7 → 8) Halldor activates the effect of "Odin, Father of the Aesir", preventing all of his "Aesir" monsters from being affected by Spell and Trap Cards and effects for the remainder of the turn. Yusei counters with the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon", negating the effect of "Odin, Father of the Aesir" and destroying all cards Halldor controls. Halldor Sets a card.

During the End Phase, Halldor activates the effects of his three "Aesir" monsters in his Graveyard, Special Summoning all of them from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Yusei counters with his Set "Wave Rebound", negating the Special Summons and destroying Halldor's monsters, then inflicting damage to Halldor equal to their total ATK.

However, Halldor counters with the effect of "Gjallarhorn" in his Graveyard. Since one or more of his "Aesir" monsters have been Summoned, he activates it directly from his Graveyard. With "Gjallarhorn" on the field, the Summon of Halldor's "Aesir" monsters cannot be negated, so "Rebound Wave" resolves without effect. In addition, during Halldor's 3rd End Phase after activation, he must banish "Gjallarhorn" and all monsters he controls, then inflict damage to Yusei equal to their total ATK.

Since "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" was Special Summoned by its own effect, it inflicts 800 damage to Yusei (Yusei LP: 2000 → 1200). Since "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" was Special Summoned by its own effect, Halldor can return "Odin's Eye" from his Graveyard to his hand. Finally, since "Odin, Father of the Aesir" was Special Summoned by its own effect, Halldor can draw a card. During his End Phase, "Monster Chain" loses 1 Chain Counter (1 → 0), and, since it has lost its last Chain Counter, is destroyed.

Turn 21: Yusei

(Team 5D's SPC: 1 → 2) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 8 → 9) Yusei Normal Summons "Stardust Phantom" (0/0) in Defense Position and Sets a card.

Turn 22: Halldor

(Team 5D's SPC: 2 → 3) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 9 → 10) Halldor activates the effect of "Speed World 2", removing 10 Speed Counters (10 → 0) to destroy Yusei's "Stardust Phantom". Since it was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Yusei activates his monster's effect, Special Summoning "Stardust Dragon" from his Graveyard in Defense Position.

Halldor attacks "Stardust Dragon" with "Thor, Lord of the Aesir"; however, Yusei banishes "Stardust Phantom" from his Graveyard to grant his "Stardust Dragon" the ability to prevent its own destruction by reducing its ATK and DEF by exactly 800. The attack continues, and Yusei activates his monster's new effect ("Stardust Dragon": 2500 → 1700/2000 → 1200). Halldor then attacks "Stardust Dragon" with "Loki, Lord of the Aesir", and Yusei activates his monster's effect again ("Stardust Dragon": 1700 → 900/1200 → 400). Finally, Halldor attacks "Stardust Dragon" with "Odin, Father of the Aesir". Yusei counters by activating the effect of "Stronghold Guardian" in his hand, discarding it to increase the DEF of "Stardust Dragon" by 1500 ("Stardust Dragon": 900/400 → 1900). The attack continues, and Yusei activates his monster's effect ("Stardust Dragon": 900 → 100/1900 → 1100).

Halldor Special Summons "Jormungardr the Nordic Serpent (3000/3000) to Yusei's field in Defense Position with its own effect. If its changed into Attack Position, Yusei will take 3000 damage. He then activates his Set "Gleipnir, the Fetters of Fenrir, adding a "Nordic" monster from his Deck to his hand. He then Special Summons "Fenrir the Nordic Wolf" (4000/4000) to Yusei's field in Defense Position with its own effect. During Yusei's Battle Phase, all Defense Position monsters he controls will be changed into Attack Position.

Turn 23: Yusei

(Team 5D's SPC: 3 → 4) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 0 → 1) Yusei activates his Set "Hope for Escape", paying 1000 LP (Yusei LP: 1200 → 200), then drawing 1 card for 1000 points of difference between his LP and Halldor's. The difference is at least 3000, so Yusei draws three cards. Yusei Normal Summons "Life Gardna" (0/800) in Attack Position. He then banishes "Jormungardr the Nordic Serpent" to Special Summon "D.D. Sprite" (0/100) from his hand in Attack Position. Yusei tunes "Life Gardna" to "D.D. Sprite" to Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron" (200/1500) in Attack Position. Since "Formula Synchron" was Synchro Summoned, Yusei draws a card. He then tunes "Stardust Dragon" to "Formula Synchron" to Accel Synchro Summon "Shooting Star Dragon" (3300/2500) in Attack Position.

Yusei activates "Speed Spell - Star Force", banishing "Fenrir the Nordic Wolf" and increasing the ATK of "Shooting Star Dragon" by its Level x 100 ("Shooting Star Dragon": 3300 → 4300/2500). He then activates the effect of "Shooting Star Dragon", excavating the top 5 cards of his Deck and allowing to make attacks equal to the number of Tuner monsters revealed. The excavated cards are revealed to be: "Junk Synchron", "Nitro Synchron", "Turbo Synchron, "Sonic Chick", and "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", so "Shooting Star Dragon" can attack 3 times.

Yusei attacks and destroys "Thor, Lord of the Aesir", "Loki, Lord of the Aesir", and "Odin, Lord of the Aesir" with "Shooting Star Dragon" (Halldor LP: 4000 → 1900). He then Sets two cards.

During the End Phase, the effect of "Star Force" expires ("Shooting Star Dragon": 4300 → 3300/2500). Also during the End Phase, Halldor activates the effects of his three "Aesir" monsters, reviving all of them. Since they were all Special Summoned by their own effects, "Thor" inflicts 800 damage to Yusei (Yusei LP: 1000 → 200), "Loki" allows Halldor to add "Gleipnir, the Fetters of Fenrir" from his Graveyard to his hand, and "Odin" allows Halldor to draw a card.

Turn 24: Halldor

(Team 5D's SPC: 4 → 5) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 1 → 2) Halldor Normal Summons "Tyr of the Nordic Champions" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. He then Tributes it to prevent the effects of his "Aesir" monsters from being negated by his own cards and effects this turn. Halldor activates his Set "Odin's Eye", intending to view Yusei's Set cards, but Yusei counters with his Set "Trick Mirror". The effects of "Odin's Eye" are applied to "Trick Mirror" instead, and cannot be activated by Halldor. With the effect of "Trick Mirror", Yusei negates the effects of all Halldor's "Aesir" monsters until the End Phase, and forces Halldor to reveal his hand.

Halldor attacks "Shooting Star Dragon" with "Odin, Father of the Aesir", but Yusei activates the effect of "Shooting Star Dragon", banishing it to negate the attack. Halldor attacks Yusei directly with "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" and "Thor, Lord of the Aesir", but Yusei activates his Set "Zero Force". Since "Shooting Star Dragon" was banished this turn, all monsters with an ATK equal to or greater to the ATK of "Shooting Star Dragon" have their ATK and DEF reduced to 0 ("Odin": 4000 → 0/3500 → 0) ("Thor": 3500 → 0/2800 → 0) ("Loki": 3300 → 0/3000 → 0).

During the End Phase, the effect of "Gjallarhorn" activates. Since it is now his 3rd End Phase after activation, "Gjallarhorn" banishes itself and all monsters Halldor controls, then inflicts damage to Yusei equal to the total ATK of the banished monsters. This total ATK has been reduced to 0, so Yusei takes no damage. Also during the End Phase, "Shooting Star Dragon" returns to the field.

Turn 25: Yusei

(Team 5D's SPC: 5 → 6) (Team Ragnarok SPC: 2 → 3) Yusei attacks Halldor directly with "Shooting Star Dragon" (Halldor LP: 1900 → 0).
