Nightshroud's Turn

 * Summons Clear Phantom (1200/1400) in Attack Position
 * Sets a card

Atticus' Turn

 * Summons Red-Eyes Wyvern (1800/1600) in Attack Position
 * Attacks Clear Phantom with Red-Eyes Wyvern (Nightshroud 3400)
 * Clear Phantom's effect activates, destroying Red-Eyes Wyvern and sending the top 3 cards of Atticus' Deck to the Graveyard
 * Nightshroud activates Memory Snatcher, so Atticus cannot verify the cards in his Graveyard
 * Sets a card

Nightshroud's Turn

 * Summons Clear Rage Golem (1600/1800) in Attack
 * Attacks directly with Clear Rage Golem
 * Atticus activates Offensive Guard, halving Clear Rage Golem's ATK and letting himself draw a card (Atticus 3200)
 * Clear Rage Golem's effect activates, inflicting 300 damage for each card in Atticus' hand (5x300) (Atticus 1700)
 * Sets a card

Atticus' Turn

 * Activates Swing of Memories, but can't remember Red-Eyes B. Dragon's name in his Graveyard
 * At this point Jaden and Jesse show up and Atticus is able to remember Red-Eyes B. Dragon (2400/2000) in Attack Position
 * Attacks Clear Rage Golem with R-EBD (Nightshroud 2600)
 * Sets a card
 * During the End Phase Red-Eyes B. Dragon is destroyed by Swing of Memories effect, but Atticus activates Red-Eyes Wyvern's effect, removing it from play to Special Summon Red-Eyes B. Dragon again (2400/2000)
 * At this point, Nightshroud is revealed to be Yusuke Fujiwara under the possession of Nightshroud

Yusuke's Turn

 * Activates the Field Spell Clear World, which has negative effects on any player possessing a monster of a specific Attribute
 * Activates Clear Sacrifice, removing Clear Rage Golem and Clear Phantom from play to Normal Summon Clear Vice Dragon (0/0) without a tribute in Attack Position
 * Even though Clear World is on the field, all Clear monsters are treated as if they have no Attribute, so Yusuke takes no negative effect
 * Attacks Red-Eyes B. Dragon with Clear Vice Dragon, whose effect makes its own ATK double that of its target (4800/0)
 * Atticus activates Burst Breath, destroying Red-Eyes B. Dragon and Clear Vice Dragon


 * From this point on, the duel is just an illusion for Yusuke to see Atticus' darkness of heart, and the real duel ending is at the bottom**

Atticus' Turn

 * Summons Hunter Dragon (1700/100)
 * Since Hunter Dragon is a DARK Attribute, Clear World makes Atticus unable to attack

Yusuke's Turn

 * Activates face-down Nihilistic Summoning Technique, which Special Summons Clear Rage Golem back with 0 ATK
 * Equips Clear Rage Golem with Attribute Mastery and declares DARK, so any DARK monster Clear Rage Golem battles be destroyed without damage calculation
 * Equips Clear Rage Golem with Attribute Bomb and declares DARK, so whenever Clear Rage Golem destroys a DARK monster, Atticus takes 1000 damage
 * Attacks Hunter Dragon with Clear Rage Golem, and by the combined effects of Attribute Mastery and Attribute Bomb, it is destroyed and Atticus takes 1000 damage (Atticus 700)

Atticus' Turn

 * Activates Dark Factory of Mass Production, returning Red-Eyes B. Dragon and Hunter Dragon from his Graveyard to his hand
 * Summons Red-Eyes B. Chick (800/500) and tributes it to Special Summon Red-Eyes B. Dragon in Attack Position (2400/2000)
 * Activates Inferno Fire Blast, making a direct attack on Yusuke's Life Points (Yusuke 200)
 * Sets a card

Yusuke's Turn
A draw, but this was all an illusion brought on by Nightshroud to uncover Atticus' darkness of heart
 * Attacks Red-Eyes B. Dragon with Clear Rage Golem, destroying it by Attribute Mastery's effect
 * Atticus activates Red-Eyes Burn, making both players take Red-Eyes B. Dragon's ATK as damage (Atticus 0) (Yusuke 0)

The real end result from Turn 5 is as follows: Yusuke wins }}
 * Yusuke attacks Red-Eyes B. Dragon with Clear Vice Dragon
 * Atticus activates Burst Breath in an attempt to destroy the pair, but Yusuke discards a card so Clear Vice Dragon cannot be destroyed by a card effect
 * The attack goes through (Atticus 0)
