Yuga VS. Hologram Man.
The Duel is conducted as a Rush Duel.
Turn 1: Yuga Ohdo
Yuga draws "High Magic - Double Accel". His hand contains "Dark Sorcerer", "Magical Beast Wolfram", "Spell Archer", "High Magic - Double Accel" and "Wind Spirit's Blessing". Yuga Normal Summons "Dark Sorcerer" (Level 4/1500/0), "Magical Beast Wolfram" (Level 3/1100/100) and "Spell Archer" (Level 3/1000/400). He then sets "High Magic - Double Accel" and "Wind Spirit's Blessing".
Turn 2: Hologram Man
The Hologram Man Normal Summons "Lesser Dragon" (Level 4/1200/1000) and "Lizard Soldier" (Level 3/1100/800). He then tributes "Lesser Dragon" and "Lizard Soldier" to Tribute Summon "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (Level 8/3000/2500) in Attack Position. As he controls a Level 7 or higher Dragon Normal Monster, he activates the Normal Spell Card "Traditional Burst Breath", which lets him destroy all face-up Level 6 or lower monsters Yuga controls. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks directly (Yuga: 4000 → 1000 LP).
Turn 3: Yuga Ohdo
As Yuga has no cards in his hand, he draws five cards: "Answerer the Demonic Swordsman", "Hydro Magician", "Stray Familiar", "Mystic Dealer" and "Curtain of Sparks". He Normal Summons "Stray Familiar" (Level 1/0/1400) and "Mystic Dealer" (Level 3/1000/0). Yuga activates the effect of "Mystic Dealer", letting him send a Spellcaster monster from his hand to the GY to draw a card. He sends "Answerer" and draws "Sevens Road Magician". He then tributes "Stray Familiar" and "Mystic Dealer" to Tribute Summon "Sevens Road Magician" (Level 7/2100/1500) in Attack Position.
Yuga activates his set card "Wind Spirit's Blessing", letting him send 1 card from his hand to the GY to increase the ATK of a Spellcaster monster he controls by 1000 until the End Phase. He sends "Hydro Magician" and targets "Sevens Road Magician" ("Sevens Road Magician": 2100 → 3100 ATK). He then activates his set card "High Magic - Double Accel", letting him return 2 Level 5 or higher Spellcaster monsters from his GY to his Deck to have 1 Spellcaster monster he controls gain ATK equal to its original ATK. He returns "Answerer" and "Hydro Magician" and targets "Sevens Road Magician" ("Sevens Road Magician": 3100 → 5200 ATK). Yuga activates the effect of "Sevens Road Magician", sending the top card of his Deck ("Luminous Shaman") to the GY to increase the ATK of "Sevens Road Magician" by 300 for each different Attribute in his GY until the End Phase ("Sevens Road Magician": 5200 → 7000 ATK). "Sevens Road Magician" attacks and destroys "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (Hologram Man: 4000 → 0 LP).

Changes to the dub
The words "Rush Duel" are removed from Yuga's red flag.
As with all previous Yu-Gi-Oh! series, the card layout has been altered. In this case, however, while the layout has mostly been left intact, the names have been replaced with blank lines; and, to replace the cards' texts, the level stars are moved to the bottom left, and the ATK and DEF are moved to the top and bottom, respectively.
Trivia[]
- Like the first featured Duel of other series, the main protagonist duels against an opponent that summons a monster with 3000 ATK.
