Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Reginald "Shark" Kastle
Turn 1: Yuma
Yuma Sets a monster.
Turn 2: Shark
Shark activates "Fish Spawn", Special Summoning 2 Level 1 "Fish Spawn Tokens" (0/0) on the field by paying 1000 Life Points (Shark 4000 → 3000). He Tributes the 2 "Fish Spawn Tokens" to Tribute Summon "Big Whale" (1000/???) in Attack Position. As "Big Whale" was Normal Summoned, Shark changes Yuma's Set monsters "Gogogo Golem" (1800/1500) to face-up Defense Position, then Special Summons "Drill Barnacle" (300/0) from his hand, via "Big Whale's" effect. He then activates "Three Slice", tributing his Level 9 "Big Whale" to Special Summon 3 Level 3 monsters from his deck. Shark summons 3 copies of "Starfish" (300/300) via this effect. He overlays his two Level 3 "Starfish" to Xyz Summon "Submersible Carrier Aero Shark" (1900/1000) in Attack Position. He then continues to overlays his other two Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Black Ray Lancer" (2100/600) in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Aero Shark", detaching an Overlay Unit to inflict 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", negating the effects of "Gogogo Golem" until the End Phase. "Aero Shark" attacks and destroys "Gogogo Golem" and "Black Ray Lancer" attacks directly (Yuma 3200 → 1100).
Turn 3: Yuma
Yuma's hand contains "Gagaga Gardna", "Gogogo Giant", "Gogogo Amulet" and "Ganbara Knight". He Normal Summons "Gogogo Giant" (2000/0) in Attack Position, 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 Amulet", since Yuma only controls "Gogogo" monsters, once per turn, each of those monsters cannot be destroyed by battle and since he controls 2 "Gogogo" monsters, any effect damage he take becomes 0.
Turn 4: Shark
Since there are 2 monsters on Yuma's field, Shark Normal Summons "Panther Shark" (1100/2000) without any Tributes. And as he now controls a face-up "Panther Shark", he Special Summon "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 then equips "Sharkize" to "Black Ray Lancer", which treats it as a "Shark" monster and it gains 400 ATK (2100 → 2500/600)[Notes 1]. 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 Golem" but the effect of "Gogogo Amulet" negates that attack. Then "Black Ray Lancer" attacks and destroys "Gogogo Giant". Shark now attack "Gogogo Golem" with "Shark Fortress" but the effect of "Gogogo Amulet" negates that attack. He then activate 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 now there are no "Gogogo" monster on the field, "Gogogo Amulet" is destroyed. Shark then again activates "Shark Fortress" effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to allow "Black Ray Lancer" equipped with "Sharkize" to attack again. Shark declares a direct attack of "Black Ray Lancer". 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", discarding a card to prevent its destruction in battle, but he still receives Battle Damage (Yuma 1100 → 100).
Turn 5: Yuma
Yuma draws "The Strongest Shield" and Normal Summons "Ganbara Knight" (0/1800) in Attack Position. 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 gains ATK equal to its DEF sinces its in Attack Position (2000 → 4000/2000). Yuma activates the effect of "Excalibur", detaching all of its Overlay Units to double its ATK (4000 → 8000/2000) until the End Phase (Excalibur's attack becomes double it's original, so the attack should have stayed at 4000). "Excalibur" attacks and destroys "Shark Fortress" (Shark 3000 → 0).
