{{episode summary|After his Duel with [[Misael]], [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] is injured in both body and spirit. Therefore, in order get through to him, [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] challenges him to a Duel.}}

==Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Reginald "Shark" Kastle==
<u>'''Turn 1: Yuma'''</u><br/>
[[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] [[Set]]s a [[Monster Card|monster]].

<u>'''Turn 2: Shark'''</u><br/>
[[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] [[activate]]s "[[Fish Spawn]]", [[Special Summon]]ing 2 [[Level]] 1 "[[Fish Spawn Token]]s" (0/0) by [[pay]]ing 1000 [[Life Points]] (Shark 4000 → 3000). He [[Tribute]]s the 2 "Fish Spawn Tokens" to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Big Whale]]" (1000/???) in [[Attack Position]]. As "Big Whale" was [[Normal Summon]]ed its [[effect]] changes Yuma's Set [[Monster Card|monster]] - "[[Gogogo Golem]]" (1800/1500) - to [[face-up]] [[Defense Position]] and also lets him Special Summon a Level 4 or lower [[WATER]] monster from his [[hand]]. He Special Summons "[[Drill Barnacle]]" (300/0). He then activates "[[Three Slice]]", Tributing his Level 9 "Big Whale" to Special Summon three Level 3 monsters from his [[Deck]]. Shark Summons three copies of "[[Starfish]]" (300/300). He [[Xyz Material|overlay]]s his two Level 3 "Starfish" to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]" (1900/1000) in Attack Position. Shark overlays his remaining "Starfish" with "Drill Barnacle" to Xyz Summon "[[Black Ray Lancer]]" (2100/600) in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Aero Shark", [[detach]]ing an [[Xyz Material|Overlay Unit]] to inflict [[effect damage|damage]] to Yuma equal to the amount of cards in his hand times 400. He has two cards, so Yuma takes 800 damage (Yuma 4000 → 3200). He then detaches an Overlay Unit to activate the effect of "Black Ray Lancer", [[negate|negating]] the effects of "Gogogo Golem" until the [[End Phase]]. "Aero Shark" attacks and destroys "Gogogo Golem" and "Black Ray Lancer" attacks [[Direct attack|directly]] (Yuma 3200 → 1100).

<u>'''Turn 3: Yuma'''</u><br/>
Yuma's hand includes "[[Gagaga Gardna]]", "[[Gogogo Giant]]", "[[Gogogo Gofu]]" and "[[Ganbara Knight]]". He Normal Summons "Gogogo Giant" (2000/0), whose effect activates, Special Summoning "Gogogo Golem" (1800/1500) from his [[Graveyard]] in [[Defense Position]] and switching "Gogogo Giant" to Defense Position. He then activates the [[Continuous Spell Card]] "Gogogo Gofu". Since Yuma controls only "[[Gogogo]]" monsters, once per [[turn]], each of those monsters cannot be [[destroyed by battle]] and since he controls two "Gogogo" monsters, any [[effect damage]] he takes becomes 0.

<u>'''Turn 4: Shark'''</u><br/>
As Yuma controls two monsters, Shark Normal Summons the Level 5 "[[Panther Shark]]" (1100/2000) without Tribute via its effect. As he controls a face-up "Panther Shark", he Special Summons "[[Eagle Shark]]" (1000/1800) from his hand via its own effect. He then overlays his two Level 5 monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Shark Fortress]]" (2400/1800) in Attack Position. Shark [[equip]]s "Black Ray Lancer" with "[[Sharkize]]", letting him treat it as a "[[Shark (archetype)|Shark]]" monster and increase its ATK by 400 (2100 → 2500/600)<ref group=Notes name=Sharkize>The written lore of "[[Sharkize]]" states it increases [[ATK]] by 300, but [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] himself says it does so by 400.</ref>. He then detaches an Overlay Unit to activate the effect of "Black Ray Lancer", negating the effects of "Gogogo Golem" until the End Phase. "Aero Shark" attacks "Gogogo Giant", with the effect of "Gogogo Gofu" preventing its destruction by battle. "Black Ray Lancer" attacks and destroys "Gogogo Giant". Shark attacks "Gogogo Golem" with "Shark Fortress", with the effect of "Gogogo Gofu" prevents its destruction by battle. Shark activates the effect of "Shark Fortress", by detaching an Overlay Unit he can [[target]] 1 "Shark" monster he controls that has attacked this turn, that monster can attack once again. Shark first targets "Aero Shark". "Aero Shark" attacks and destroys "Gogogo Golem". Since Yuma controls no "Gogogo" monsters, "Gogogo Gofu" is destroyed via its own effect. Shark activates the effect of "Shark Fortress" again, detaching an Overlay Unit to allow "Black Ray Lancer" equipped with "Sharkize" to attack again. "Black Ray Lancer" attacks directly, but Yuma activates the effect of the "Gagaga Gardna" (1500/2000) in his hand, Special Summoning it in Attack Position as he is about to be attacked directly. Yuma uses the other effect of "Gagaga Gardna", [[discard]]ing a card to prevent its destruction by battle (Yuma 1100 → 100). 

<u>'''Turn 5: Yuma'''</u><br/>
Yuma [[Draw a card|draws]] "[[The Strongest Shield]]" and Normal Summons "Ganbara Knight" (0/1800). Yuma overlays his two Level 4 [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. He then equips it with "The Strongest Shield" which allows it to gain ATK equal to its DEF since its in [[Attack Position]]  (2000 → 4000). Yuma activates the effect of "Excalibur", detaching all of its Overlay Units to double its ATK (4000 → 8000) until the [[End Phase]]<ref group=Notes name=Excalibur>In previous episodes, [[Nistro]] has stated that the [[effect]] of "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" doubles [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]], so the total should have been 6000, not 8000. Also he detached only 1 Xyz Material at that time. However, this doesn't change the outcome of battle</ref>. "Excalibur" attacks and destroys "Shark Fortress" (Shark 3000 → 0).
