Bleach: Xcution Episode 4

"**Matter of Time**" is the 4th episode.

## Featured Duel: Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Giriko Kutzusawa

**Turn 1: Ichigo**

Ichigo draws. He then Normal Summons "Swordsman of the Black Blade" (1900/1000) in Attack Position. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Giriko**

Giriko draws. He then Normal Summons "Kronos Knight" (1200/1200) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to remove "Future Manipulator" from his hand from play until his next Standby Phase. He then activates "Kronos Spirit" to pay 1000 LP (Giriko 4000 → 3000) and skip one turn.

**Turn 4: Giriko**

Giriko draws. On his Standby Phase, the effect of "Kronos Knight" Special Summons the removed "Future Manipulator" (2700/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to remove "Future Manipulator" from play until Ichigo's second Standby Phase. "Kronos Knight" and "Future Manipulator" attack directly (Ichigo 4000 → 2800 → 100). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 5: Ichigo**

Ichigo draws. He then activates "Necromancy Contact" to shuffle all the cards in his hand into his Deck, draw five cards, Special Summon all monsters among them and inflict damage to Giriko equal to the ATK of the strongest monster Special Summoned by this effect. He Special Summons "Lunar Reaper" (1100/800), "Underworld Guardian" (1300/???) and "Soul Seizer" (1500/1300) in Attack Position (Giriko 3000 → 1500). He then unites "Underworld Guardian" and "Soul Seizer" in order to Unite Summon "Zangetsu" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Giriko activates his face-down "Trapped in Time" and targets "Zangetsu" for its effect. Now the targeted monster cannot attack or defend. Also as long as Giriko controls a "Kronos" monster, "Trapped in Time" cannot be destroyed by card effects. He then activates "Treasure Giving" to target "Lunar Reaper" and draw cards equal to its Level. "Lunar Reaper" is Level 3, so he draws three cards. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Giriko**

Giriko draws. "Kronos Knight" attacks "Lunar Reaper", but Ichigo activates his face-down "Cross Silence". Whenever a monster Giriko controls attacks, Ichigo can send a card he controls to the GY and negate the attack. He uses this effect to send his face-down ("Spiritual Phenomenon") and negate the attack. "Future Manipulator" attacks "Lunar Reaper", but Ichigo uses the effect of "Cross Silence" to send "Lunar Reaper" to the GY and negate the attack.

**Turn 7: Ichigo**

Ichigo draws. On Ichigo's Standby Phase, "Swordsman of the Black Blade" (1900/1000) returns to the field in Attack Position. He then activates "Transfer of Bodies" to return "Swordsman of the Black Blade" to his hand and Special Summon "Soul Siege" (1400/1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates "Assembly of Knights" to Special Summon two more copies of "Soul Siege" (1400/1200) from his Deck in Attack Position. He then activates "Knight's Advancement" to Tribute his three copies of "Soul Siege" and Special Summon "Soul Knight Percival" (3300/2500) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to destroy all monsters Giriko controls and increase its ATK by 100 for every monster destroyed by its effect ("Percival": 3300 → 3500/2500). "Percival" attacks directly (Giriko 1500 → 0).
