Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 3: Playmaker
Playmaker draws and activates the Spell "Cynet Closure", banishing a card from his Deck face-down, also when his Cyberse Link Monster destroys Ai's Link Monster by battle, that card is returned to the GY. Playmaker Normal Summons "Flame Bufferlo" (1400/200), and then activates the effect of "Cynet Optimization" to Normal Summon "Formud Skipper" (0/0). Playmaker uses "Flame Bufferlo" and "Formud Skipper" to Link Summon "Cyberse Witch" (800/LINK-2/↙↓) to the Extra Monster Zone.

As "Formud Skipper" was sent to the GY as Link Material, Playmaker adds a Level 5 or higher Cyberse monster (Degrade Buster) from his Deck to his hand. As the face-up "Flame Bufferlo" left the field, Playmaker can discard a Cyberse monster ("Dotscaper") to draw 2 cards. As "Dotscaper" was sent to the GY, Playmaker activates its effect to Special Summon itself (0/2100) in Defense Position to a zone a Link Monster points to. As a monster was Special Summoned to a zone "Cyberse Witch" points to, Playmaker banishes a Spell from his GY to add "Cynet Ritual" and a Cyberse Ritual Monster from his Deck to his hand. He banishes "Cynet Closure" and adds "Cynet Ritual" and "Cyberse Magician" to his hand.

Playmaker Special Summons "Degrade Buster" (2500/2500) from his hand in Attack Position, by banishing two Cyberse monsters ("Garbage Collector" and "Flame Bufferlo") from his GY. Playmaker activates the Ritual Spell "Cynet Ritual", Tributing the Level 7 "Degrade Buster" to Ritual Summon "Cyberse Magician" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. The second effect of "Cyberse Witch" activates, Special Summoning "Clock Wyvern" from his GY ("Clock Wyvern": 1800 → 900/1000). As "Clock Wyvern" is Special Summoned, Playmaker halves its ATK to Special Summon a "Clock Token" (0/0). Playmaker also activates the effect of "Sea Archiver" and Special Summons it from the GY.

Playmaker uses "Cyberse Witch" and a "Clock Token" to Link Summon "Clock Spartoi" (800/LINK-2/↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Its Link Summoned effect lets Playmaker add "Cynet Fusion" to his hand. Playmaker uses "Sea Archiver", "Clock Wyvern" and "Dotscaper" to Link Summon "Transcode Talker" (2300/LINK-3/↑→↓). While "Transcode Talker" is co-linked, it and its co-linked monsters gain 500 ATK, also Ai cannot target any of them with card effects ("Transcode": 2300 → 2800 ATK) ("Clock Spartoi": 800 → 1300 ATK). The effect of "Clock Spartoi" allows him to summon "Clock Wyvern" from his GY. Then, Playmaker activates the effect of "Transcode Talker" to Special Summon a LINK-3 or lower monster in his GY ("Decode Talker") to a zone "Transcode Talker" points to. Playmaker activates "Cynet Fusion" to fuse "Clock Wyvern", "Decode Talker" and "Clock Spartoi" to Fusion Summon "Cyberse Clock Dragon" (2500/2000). ("Transcode Talker": 2800 → 2300 ATK). "Clock Dragon"'s effect allows him to send, equal to the total Link Rating used for its Fusion Summon, cards to his GY from the top of his deck, and "Clock Dragon" gains 1000 ATK for each. "Bitrooper", "Limit Code", "Cynet Backdoor", "Cynet Universe" and "Overfloater" are sent to the GY ("Cyberse Clock Dragon": 2500 → 7500 ATK).

"Cyberse Clock Dragon" attacks "Fire Phoenix @Ignister", but as Playmaker's monster declared an attack, Ai activates his Set Trap "A.I.'s Show", targeting the attacking monster and Special Summoning any number of Cyberse monsters with 2300 ATK from his Extra Deck, whose total ATK is less than or equal to the targeted monster's ATK to his zones a Link Monster points to, then he ends the Battle Phase. He Special Summons "Earth Golem @Ignister" (2300/2000), "Wind Pegasus @Ignister" (2300/1500) and "Light Dragon @Ignister" (2300/1500) and ends the Battle Phase.

Turn 4: Ai
Ai activates the Spell "A.I. Contact", shuffling "Ignister A.I.Land" from his hand into his deck from his hand to draw 3 cards.. The effect of "Wind Pegasus" activates, destroying a Spell/Trap for every @Ignister monster he controls, so "Code Hack" and "Cynet Optimization" are destroyed. Ai Normal Summons "Hiyari @Ignister", then activates its effect to tribute "Fire Phoenix @Ignister (an @Ignister Link monster)" to add "A.I.'s Ritual" to hand and an @Ignister Ritual Monster to his hand, while increasing its Level by 3 (the Link Rating of "Phoenix").

Ai activates the Ritual Spell "A.I.'s Ritual". Tributing the now Level 4 "Hiyari" and banishing the Level 4 "Pikari" from his GY (as another WATER monster was tributed) to Ritual Summon the Level 7 "Water Leviathan @Ignister". As "Water Leviathan" is Ritual Summoned, Ai activates its effect and returns to the hand all monsters Playmaker controls whose original ATK are 2300 or less. "Transcode Talker" is returned to Playmaker's Extra Deck.

"Water Leviathan" attacks "Cyberse Magician", and its effect halves the attacked monster's ATK during damage calculation ("Cyberse Magician": 2500 → 1250 ATK). The effect of "Cyberse Magician" halves any damage Playmaker takes. "Cyberse Magician" is destroyed (Playmaker: 4000 → 3475 LP). As another "@Ignister" monster inflicted battle damage to Playmaker, Ai activates the effect of "Light Dragon", targeting an "@Ignister" Link Monster in his GY and Special Summoning it. He targets and Special Summons "Fire Phoenix @Ignister" (2300/LINK-3/←↓→) to the zone "Judgment Arrows" points to. "Fire Phoenix @Ignister" attacks "Clock Dragon". As an opponent's monster declared an attack while his opponent controls more monsters than Playmaker does, he activates the effect of "Overfloater" in his GY by banishing it to target that attacking monster, and negate the effects of all monsters Ai controls with original ATK less than or equal to the targeted monster's original ATK. He targets 2300 ATK "Fire Phoenix" and negates the effects of all monsters Ai controls. As a Link Monster "Judgment Arrows points to battles, its ATK is doubled during damage calculation only ("Fire Phoenix": 2300 → 4600 ATK). The attack continues and "Fire Phoenix" is destroyed (Ai: 4000 → 1100 LP). Ai activates the Spell "FA.I.ghting Spirit": targeting an "@Ignister" monster in his GY and Special Summoning it, but its effects are negated. He targets and Special Summons "Fire Phoenix".

Ai uses the FIRE "Fire Phoenix", the WATER "Water Leviathan", the EARTH "Earth Golem", the WIND "Wind Pegasus", the LIGHT "Light Dragon" and the DARK "Dark Templar @Ignister" to Link Summon "The Arrival Cyberse @Ignister" (?/LINK-6/↑←↙↓↘→) to the zone "Judgment Arrows" points to. The original ATK of "The Arrival Cyberse" become 1000 times the number of Link Materials used for its Link Summon (6; "Arrival Cyberse": ? → 6000 ATK). The effect of "The Arrival Cyberse" increases its ATK by 1000 for each card Ai controls (in this a case: 4- "Ignister A.I.Land", "Judgment Arrows", "CompromA.I.se" and itself) ("Arrival Cyberse": 6000 → 10000 ATK). Ai activates the effect of "The Arrival Cyberse" and places a counter on it ("Arrival Cyberse": 0 → 1 counter). Ai activates the effect of "Arrival Cyberse": targeting a monster on the field and destroying it, then Special Summoning an "@Ignister Token" to his zone "Arrival Cyberse" points to. He targets and destroys "Clock Dragon" then Special Summons an "@Ignister Token" (???/0) in Defense Position ("Arrival Cyberse": 10000 → 11000 ATK). As the Fusion Summoned "Clock Dragon" Playmaker controls was sent to his GY by Ai's card effect, Playmaker can add a Spell from his Deck to his hand.[Notes 1] Ai uses the "@Ignister Token" to Link Summon "Darkwight @Ignister" (0/LINK-1/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. The effect of "Darkwight" prevents Playmaker's monsters from targeting the linked "Darkwight" for attacks.

Turn 5: Playmaker

Playmaker uses "Cyberse Wicckid" and "Dotscaper" to Link Summon "Exslayer" (1000/LINK-2/↙↓) to the Extra Monster Zone.

As Playmaker Link Summoned, he activates the effect of "Parallel eXceed" to Special Summon itself (2000/2000) from his hand in Defense Position to his zone Link Monster points to. As "Parallel eXceed" was Special Summoned its own effect, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK/DEF become halved ("Parallel eXceed": LV8 → 4, 2000/2000 → 1000/1000). also when "Parallel eXceed" was Normal or Special Summoned, Playmaker Special Summon another copy of "Parallel eXceed" from his Deck in Defense Position (Level 8 → 4, 2000/2000 → 1000/1000).
