 * Marcel activates Chaos Core's effect, discarding Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, and Raviel, Lord of Phantasms from his Deck and giving his Core 3 Sacred Beast Counters. He removes 1 Counter to negate the Battle Damage.
 * Jaden sets a card

Marcel's Turn

 * Sets a card

Jaden's Turn

 * Activates Tag Request, allowing him to Special Summon an Elemental Hero from his hand with the same ATK as a monster under his control; he summons his Necroshade (1600/1800), who attacks Chaos Core, but Marcel activates Chaos Core's effect, removing his second Sacred Beast Counter to negate the damage.
 * Attacks Chaos Core with Sparkman; Marcel removes his last Sacred Beast Counter to negate the damage
 * Activates Instant Fusion, fusing his Sparkman and his Necroshade into Elemental Hero Darkbright (2000/1000), who attacks Chaos Core, but Marcel activates his face-down Chaos Burst, destroying both his Core and Jaden's Darkbright, inflicting damage to Jaden equal to his destroyed monster's ATK (Jaden: 2000 LP)
 * Jaden activates O - Oversoul and re-summons Sparkman from his Graveyard

Marcel's Turn

 * Summons his Phantom of Chaos (0/0) and activates its effect, selecting an Effect Monster in his Graveyard so his Phantom can gain the ATK and effect of that monster; he selects Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder
 * Since Phantom of Chaos targets the Graveyard, Jaden activates his face-down Hero's Rule 2, attempting to negate Phantom of Chaos's effect and destroy it, but Marcel activates his face-down Dark Bribe, negating and destroying Jaden's Hero's Rule 2. Dark Bribe also lets Jaden draw a card from his Deck.
 * Phantom of Chaos takes on the form of Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, gaining Hamon's stats and Effects (Phantom of Chaos's ATK: 4000)
 * Attacks and destroys Jaden's Sparkman with his Hamon clone. Even though Phantom of Chaos cannot inflict Battle Damage, it can use Hamon's effect, as Jaden now takes 1000 points of damage, since the Hamon-Phantom destroyed one of Jaden's monsters in battle. (Jaden: 1000 LP)
 * Marcel sets a card, while his Phantom's ATK returns to 0 and regains its original effect. At this point, Jesse joins the duel and, since Marcel is facing two opponents, he gains 4000 extra Life Points (Marcel: 8000 LP)
