Featured Duel: Yuya vs. Eve
Duel continues from the previous Scale.

Turn 4: Eve

"Timelord Progenitor Vulgate" (0/0) attacks "Dark Anthelion Dragon" (3000/2500). Due to the effect of "Timelord Progenitor Vulgate", Eve receives no damage, nor is her monster destroyed, also Yuya's "Enter-Mate Miss Director" (0/2000) and "Dark Anthelion Dragon" are banished until the End Phase of the turn. "Phantasm Emperor Trilojig" (4000/4000) attacks Yuya directly. Since "XYZ Wings" has left the field, all damage Yuya receives this turn is halved (Yuya: 2500 → 500). "No. XX Infinity Dark Hope" (4000/4000) attacks Yuya directly, but Yuya activates the Pendulum effect of "Enter-Mate Odd-Eyes Butler" (PS 2), returning an "Odd-Eyes" monster from his Graveyard to his Extra Deck, negating the battle and gaining LP equal to the target's ATK. Yuya targets "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" (2500/2000) (Yuya: 500 → 3000). At the end of the turn, the effect of "Timelord Progenitor Vulgate" expires, returning Yuya's banished monsters to his field.

Turn 5: Yuya

Yuya Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" from his Extra Deck. The effect of "Enter-Mate Miss Director" is triggered, Special Summoning a Level 1 monster from Yuya's Graveyard, and uses it as a material for a Synchro Summon. Yuya Special Summons "Smoke Mosquito" (0/0), and tunes it with "Enter-Mate Miss Director" to Synchro Summon "Clear Wing Fast Dragon" (2500/2000). Yugo lends help, by using the effect of "Clear Wing Fast Dragon" to target "Phantasm Emperor Trilojig", making its ATK equal 0, and negates its effects until the end of the turn ("Phantasm Emperor Trilojig": 4000 → 0 ATK). Eve detaches an Overlay Unit from "No. XX Infinity Dark Hope", halving the damage from that battle (Eve: 6000 → 4750), and Special Summons the monster, "Phantasm Emperor Trilojig", that was destroyed by that battle. When a monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, "Phantasm Emperor Trilojig" lets Eve target an opponent's monster and inflict Yuya damage equal to half its ATK. Eve targets "Dark Anthelion Dragon" (Yuya: 3000 → 1500).

Lastly, Eve uses "No. XX Infinity Dark Hope", targeting a monster that was Special Summoned to her side of the field, and gains LP equal to its ATK. Targeting "Phantasm Emperor Trilojig", she gains 4000 LP at the end of the turn. Yuri aids Yuya, activating "Penetration Fusion" from his Deck, using monster that destroyed a monster by battle as Fusion Material. Yuya uses "Dark Anthelion Dragon" and "Clear Wing Fast Dragon" as materials to Fusion Summon "Starving Venemy Dragon" (2500/2000). "Starving Venemy Dragon" targets "Timelord Progenitor Vulgate", replacing the former's effects with the latter, whose effects are negated for the rest of the turn. In addition, Eve takes 500 LP damage (Eve: 4750 → 4250). "Starving Venemy Dragon" attacks "Timelord Progentior Vulgate", but Eve detaches the Overlay Unit of "No. XX Infinity Dark Hope" to halve that damage (Eve: 4250 → 3000), and Special Summons "Timelord Progenitor Vulgate" from her Graveyard. "Phantasm Emperor Trilojig" inflicts damage to Yuya equal to half the ATK of "Starving Venemy Dragon" (Yuya: 1500 → 250). Due to the new effects of "Starving Venemy Dragon", it banishes all of Eve's monsters until the end of the turn. Finally, Yuya uses the effect of "Penetration Fusion", tributing the Fusion Monster "Starving Venemy Dragon" to increase all of Yuya's Pendulum Monsters' ATK by 500 ("Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon": 2500 → 3000). "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" attacks Eve directly.
