"Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" attacks and destroys "Utopia" (Yuma 4000 → 2500).

Featured Duel: Kite Tenjo vs. Misael
Turn 2: Misael

Misael sets a card and "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" ATK returns to normal (4000 → 3000).

Turn 3: Kite

Kite activates "Photon Trade", which allows him to draw 2 cards at the cost of sending a "Photon" monster from his hand to the Graveyard. He sends "Photon Spectre" (0/0) from his hand and draws "Photon Thrasher" and "Lumenize". As he doesn't control any other monsters, he Special Summons "Photon Thrasher" (2100/0) from his hand via its own effect. He then Normal Summons "Photon Crusher" (2000/0) in Attack Position. Kite Tributes his two monsters with 2000 or more ATK to Special Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (3000/2500) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Kite activates the effect of "Galaxy-Eyes", banishing both monsters until the end of the Battle Phase. As "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" is an Xyz Monster, its Overlay Units are sent to the Graveyard. The Battle Phase ends and both monsters are Special Summoned, with "Galaxy-Eyes" gaining 500 ATK as an Overlay Unit was sent to the Graveyard via its effect. Misael activates his face-down Quick-Play Spell Card, "Instant Overlay", which allows him to attach this card as an Xyz Material to a Xyz Monster which doesn't have any Xyz Material left. Next he again activates "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" effect and negates "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" effect and returning its ATK to the original, while increasing its own ATK by 1000. Kite sets a card and "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" ATK returns to normal.

Turn 4: Misael

Misael activates "Tractor Reverse", which allows him to target "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" which doesn't have any Xyz Materials left. He attaches this card and 1 Set card from Kite's Spell & Trap Card Zone as Xyz Materials to "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon". He declares the attack of "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" and then activates the Quick-Play Spell Card, "Tachyon Drive", which allows him to target "Tachyon Dragon"; this turn, it cannot be targeted by Spell/Trap card effects. "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" attacks and destroys "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and since its a Number monster, "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" isn't destroyed. As "Tachyon Drive" was activated, "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" effect is activated and its ATK is increased by 1000 (3000 → 4000). Misael declares the direct attack of "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon". But Kite activates the effect of "Photon Spectre" in his Graveyard. By banishing this card from the Graveyard, he can Special Summon 1 "Photon" monster from his Graveyard in face-up Attack Position. During this turn, that monster cannot be destroyed by battle, and it loses 1000 ATK, and its effects are negated. Kite selects "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and Special Summons it to the field with 2000 ATK. Because of this Kite receives a battle damage of 2000 points (Kite 2500 → 500). "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" ATK returns to normal.

Turn 5: Kite

Kite activates "Monster Reborn" and special summons "Photon Thrasher" (2100/0) from the graveyard in Attack Position. He the Normal Summons "Photon Circle" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Shift Up", targeting "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and until the End Phase, the Levels of all the other face-up monsters become the same as the target's Level. "Photon Thrasher" and "Photon Circle" level change to 8. He overlays the 3 Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (4500/3000) in Attack Position. Since "Galaxy-Eyes" was used as an Overlay Unit, the effect of all other face-up cards are negated. He activates its second effect, detaching the Xyz Material from "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" to increase the ATK of "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" by 500 (4500 → 5000) and giving it an additional attack for each card detached. "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" attacks and destroys "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" (Misael 4000 → 2000).

Turn 6: Misael

Misael activates "Monster Reborn" and special summons "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" (3000/2500) from the graveyard in Attack Position. Misael activates "Rank-Up Magic - Barian's Force", Ranking Up "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" and performing a Chaos Xyz Evolution to Special Summon "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon". But Misael loses control of "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon", so he cancels the Duel.
