"**More Then Meets The Eye**" is the 10th episode of the series and the 57th overall.

The last battle of the first round begins and Rainbow Dash duels against Shadow, whose identity is revealed. He looks just like Flash. Why is that?

## Featured Duel: Rainbow Dash vs. Shadow

**Turn 1: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then Normal Summons "Rainbow Wing Knight Kestrel" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. She then activates "Hatchling's Flight' to Special Summon "Rainbow Wing Knight Hawk" (1400/800) from her Deck in Attack Position. She then Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then Normal Summons "Shadow-Mech Racer" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. He then equips "Racer" with "Cyber Sabre", increasing its ATK by 1000 ("Racer": 1500 → 2500/1200). "Racer" attacks "Knight Kestrel", but Rainbow activates her face-down "Tornado Guard" to negate her monster's destruction by battle and halve the Battle Damage (Rainbow 4000 → 3500). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then Normal Summons "Rainbow Wing Purple Condor" (1800/100) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to inflict 600 damage to Shadow (Shadow 4000 → 3400). Since Rainbow controls a "Rainbow Wing" monster, he Special Summons "Rainbow Wing Green Hawk" (1400/800) from her hand in Attack Position via its own effect. He then overlays her three Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Rainbow Assault Wing Silver" (2100/2000) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit and reduce the ATK of "Racer" by half its original ATK ("Racer": 2500 → 1750/1200). "Silver" attacks and destroys "Racer" (Shadow 3400 → 3050). Since "Racer" was destroyed by battle, the effect of "Cyber-Sabre" activates, allowing Shadow to add "Fortress" from his Deck to his hand. "Knight Kestrel" attacks directly, but Shadow finds and activates the Action Card "Blow Away" to negate the direct attack. She then Sets a card.

**Turn 4: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then activates his face-down "Shadow-Mechanic" to revive "Racer" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. Since "Racer" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Shadow to add "Shadow-Mech Scooter" from his Deck to his hand. He then Tributes "Racer" in order to Tribute Summon "Shadow-Mech Hoist" (2400/1800) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to revive "Racer" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. "Hoist" attacks and destroys "Silver" (Rainbow 3500 → 3200). "Racer" attacks "Knight Kestrel", destroying both monsters in a Double KO.

**Turn 5: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then activates "Rainbow Wing Knight Condor" (Left 2) and "Rainbow Wing Knight Owl" (Right 8) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Knight Kestrel" (1500/1200) and "Knight Hawk" (1400/800) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. Since "Knight Kestrel" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Rainbow to add "Rainbow Wing Red Kestrel" from her Deck to her hand. She then Normal Summons "Red Kestrel" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. She then overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Rainbow Assault Wing Gold" (2300/1700) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Rainbow Assault Gold", it gains 500 ATK for every Winged Beast-Type monster Rainbow controls ("Gold": 2300 → 2800/1700). "Gold" attacks and destroys "Hoist" (Shadow 3050 → 2650).

**Turn 6: Shadow**

He then Pendulum Summons "Shadow-Mech Fortress" (3500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Hoist" (2400/1800) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Fortress" to Tribute "Hoist" and destroy all monsters Rainbow controls whose original ATK is less than that of the Tributed monster's and inflict 800 damage to Rainbow for each monster destroyed; "Gold" and "Knight Hawk" are destroyed (Rainbow 3100 → 1500).

**Turn 7: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Gold" (2300/1700) in Attack Position. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Knight Owl" to discard one card and add "Rank-Up-Magic Rainbow Force" from her Deck to her hand. She then activates "Rainbow Force" to Rank-Up "Gold" and perform a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, overlaying it to Xyz Summon "Rainbow Assault Wing Platinum" (2800/2200) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit and reduce the ATK of "Fortress" by 700 for every Winged Beast-Type monster in her GY. There are currently four ("Platinum": 3500 → 700/2000). "Platinum" attacks and destroys "Fortress" (Shadow 2650 → 550).

**Turn 8: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Shadow-Mech Medibot" (1600/1400) from his hand in Attack Position. Since "Medibot" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Shadow to revive "Racer" (1500/1200) in Attack Position.
