The duel continues from the last episode.

**Turn 2: Takato**

He then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Arukenimon**

Arukenimon draws. She then activates the effect of the "Smoke Spider" in her Graveyard, banishing it to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Insect-Type monster from her Deck. She Special Summons "Infect Spider" (200/200) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to equip itself to "Cyber Tamer" and take control of it. She then Tributes "Acid Spider" in order to Tribute Summon "Arukenimon" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. "Cyber Tamer" attacks Takato directly, but Takato activates his face-down "All In The Cards" to reduce all Battle Damage he would take this turn by 100 for every card in his hand. He holds three cards (Takato 4000 → 3000). "Arukenimon" attacks Takato directly (Takato 3000 → 1300). She then activates "Caught In The Web". Now all monsters Takato summons cannot nor defend for one turn.

**Turn 4: Takato**

Takato draws. He then Normal Summons "Ace Keeper" (1000/1200) in Defense Position. He then activates its effect to select three cards from his Deck and randomly chooses one among them to add to his hand. He selects "Gallantmon", "WarGrowlmon", and "Tame Lash". "Gallantmon" is chosen. He then activates "Swords of Crimson Light". Now as long as Takato controls a monster, none of Arukenimon can attack.

**Turn 5: Arukenimon**

Arukenimon draws. She then activates the effect of "Arukenimon" to pay 400 LP (Arukenimon 3300 → 2900) and destroy one random card in Takato's hand ("Bio Merge"). She then activates "Venomous Bite" to halve the ATK of "Ace Keeper" ("Ace Keeper": 1000 → 500/1200) and increase the ATK of "Arukenimon" by the same amount ("Arukenimon": 2000 → 2500/2000).

**Turn 6: Takato**

Takato draws. He then Sets a monster. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 7: Arukenimon**

Arukenimon draws. She then activates the effect of "Arukenimon" to pay 400 LP (Arukenimon 2900 → 2500) and destroy one random card in Takato's hand. She then Tributes "Arukenimon" and "Cyber Tamer" in order to Tribute Summon "Yellow Sun Dragon" (2000/2500) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to pay 1000 LP (Arukenimon 2500 → 1500) and destroy all face-up cards on Takato's side of the field; "Ace Keeper" and "Swords of Crimson Light" are destroyed. "Yellow Sun Dragon" attacks Takato directly (As face-down monsters are affected by the effect of "Caught In The Web"), but Takato activates his face-down "Unstable Transport" to send the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard. If it's a monster, then the Battle Damage he takes is reduced by the ATK of the sent monster. He sends "Growlmon" (Takato 1300 → 700).

**Turn 8: Takato**

Takato draws. He then Flip Summons "Pastry Baker" (200/200) in Attack Position. The Flip Effect of "Pastry Baker" activates, allowing Takato to revive "Ace Keeper" (1000/1200) in Attack Position. He then Tributes "Pastry Baker" and "Ace Keeper" in order to Tribute Summon "Gallantmon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. He then equips "Gallantmon" with "Crimson Veil", making "Gallantmon" become unaffected by card effects.

**Turn 9: Arukenimon**

Arukenimon draws. On Arukenimon's Standby Phase, the final effect of "Caught In The Web" activates, sending itself to the Graveyard to destroy all monsters Takato controls and inflict damage to Takato equal to their ATK, but it doesn't work as "Crimson Veil" makes "Gallantmon" become unaffected by card effects.

**Turn 10: Takato**

Takato draws. He then Normal Summons "Grani The Crimson Steed" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to Special Summon "Gigimon" (100/100) from his Deck in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 8 "Gallantmon" and the Level 1 "Gigimon" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Grani the Crimson Steed" in order to Synchro Summon "Gallantmon Crimson" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. "Gallantmon Crimson" attacks and destroys "Yellow Sun Dragon" (Arukenimon 1500 → 0).
