Synchro Dimension Arc Episode 10

"**Awakening!! Unwavering state, Clear Mind!**" is the 10th episode of the arc.

The Semi-Finals begins with Yusei Vs Yugo starting off as a normal duel but takes a turn after Roget's plan begins to reveal pushing Yusei to a corner....will he be able to achieve his new power to win?

(This is also what I like to call "The final battle! Shooting Star VS Crystal Wing!")

## Featured Duel: Yusei Fudo vs. Yugo

**Turn 1: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei Normal Summons "Massive Warrior" (600/1200) in Defense Position. Yusei Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Yugo**

Yugo draws. As he controls no monsters, Yugo Special Summons "Speedroid Terrortop" (1200/600) from his hand via its own effect. He then Normal Summons "Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice" (300/1500). Yugo tunes the Level 3 Tuner monster "Tri-Eyed Dice" with the Level 3 "Terrortop" to Synchro Summon the Level 6 "Hi-Speedroid Kendama" (2200/1600) in Attack Position. "Kendama" attacks "Massive Warrior", but due to the effects of "Massive Warrior", it is not destroyed and Yusei takes no Battle Damage. Yugo activates the effect of "Kendama", letting him banish a "Speedroid" monster from his Graveyard once per turn to inflict 500 damage to his opponent. He banishes "Terrortop" (Yusei: 4000 → 3500 LP). Yugo Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei Normal Summons "Junk Synchron" (1300/500) in Attack Position. Yusei tunes the Level 3 Tuner "Junk Synchron" with the Level 2 "Massive Warrior" in order to Synchro Summon "Junk Warrior" (2300/1300) in Attack Position. "Junk Warrior" attacks "Kendama", but Yugo activates his face-down "Speed Turn" to switch "Junk Warrior" to Defense Position and reduce its DEF by 500 ("Junk Warrior": 2300/1300 → 800).

**Turn 4: Yugo**

Yugo draws. Since Yugo controls a WIND monster, he Special Summons "Speedroid Taketomborg" (600/1200) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Yugo Normal Summons "Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice" (100/100). Yugo tunes the Level 3 "Taketomborg" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Red-Eyed Dice" to Synchro Summon the Level 4 "Hi-Speedroid Puzzle" (1300/1600) in Attack Position. "Kendama" attacks "Junk Warrior", but Yusei activates his face-down "Card Defense" to negate the attack and draw one card by discarding "Stardust Xiaolong". "Puzzle" attacks "Junk Warrior". The effect of "Puzzle" activates, doubling its ATK during damage calculation ("Puzzle": 1300 → 2600/1600). "Puzzle" then destroys "Junk Warrior". Yusei activates his face-down "Miracle's Wake" to Special Summon "Junk Warrior" (2300/1300) from his Graveyard in Attack Position since it was destroyed by battle this turn. Yugo activates the effect of "Kendama" to banish "Taketomborg" (Yusei: 3500 → 3000 LP).

**Turn 5: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei Normal Summons "Turbo Synchron" (100/100) in Attack Position. Yusei then tunes the Level 5 "Junk Warrior" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Turbo Synchron" to Synchro Summon the Level 6 "Turbo Warrior" (2500/1500) in Attack Position. "Turbo Warrior" attacks "Kendama". The effect of "Turbo Warrior" activates, halving the ATK of "Kendama" ("Kendama": 2200 → 1100/1600). The attack continues and "Kendama" is destroyed (Yugo: 4000 → 2600 LP). Yusei Sets two cards.

**Turn 6: Yugo**

Yugo draws. "Puzzle" attacks "Turbo Warrior". The effect of "Puzzle" activates, doubling its ATK during damage calculation ("Puzzle": 1300 → 2600/1600). Yusei activates his face-down "Wave Force" to destroy "Puzzle". Yugo Normal Summons "Speedroid Horse Stilts" (1100/1100). Yugo Sets two cards.

**Turn 7: Yusei**

Yusei draws. "Turbo Warrior" attacks "Horse Stilts", but Yugo activates his face-down "Re-dyce-cle", letting him choose a Synchro Monster from his Extra Deck, Special Summon a "Dice" Tuner monster from his Graveyard with its effects negated and roll a die. The Level of the Tuner monster will become the same as the die result and then Yugo can Synchro Summon the selected Synchro Monster immediately, if possible. If he cannot Synchro Summon, all monsters he controls will be destroyed. He chooses "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", Special Summons "Red-Eyed Dice" (100/100) in Attack Position and rolls a 3 ("Red-Eyed Dice": [1] 1 → [2] 3). Yugo tunes the Level 4 "Puzzle" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Red-Eyed Dice" to Synchro Summon "Clear Wing" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. A replay occurs and "Turbo Warrior" attacks "Clear Wing", but Yugo activates his Set "Burning Sonic" as his monster is being attacked: He can negate the attack and increase the ATK of "Clear Wing" by 500 as long as "Burning Sonic" is on the field (Clear Wing 2500 → 3000). Yusei then Normal Summons "Cosmic Compass" ([3]1/100/300) in Defense Position. Since "Cosmic Compass" was Normal Summoned, Yusei activates its effect to Special Summon one "Compass Token" (0/0 for both) in Defense Position (one for each monster Yugo controls). Yusei Sets a card.

**Turn 8: Yugo**

Yugo draws. "Clear Wing" attacks "Turbo Warrior", but Yusei activates his face-down "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" to negate the attack and reset itself face-down. Yugo Sets a card.

**Turn 9: Yusei**

Yusei draws. "Turbo Warrior" attacks "Clear Wing". The effect of "Turbo Warrior" activates, but as a monster effect that targets a Level 5 or higher monster on the field was activated, Yugo activates its effect, negating that effect, destroying "Turbo Warrior" and increasing the ATK of "Clear Wing" by the destroyed monster's ATK until the end of this turn ("Clear Wing": 3000 → 5500/2000).

**Turn 10: Yugo**

Yugo draws "Mystical Space Typhoon" and subsequently activates it to destroy Yusei's Set "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow". Yusei activates his face-down "Monster Chain", which gains three Chain Counters (one for each monster Yusei controls). While "Monster Chain" is face-up, neither player can declare an attack. During each of Halldor's End Phases, Yusei must remove a Chain Counter from "Monster Chain". When "Monster Chain" has no Chain Counters, it will be destroyed. Yugo activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card, "Dragon's Bind", letting him target a Dragon-Type monster and prevent both players from Special Summoning monsters with ATK equal to or lower than its original ATK. On Yugo's End Phase, Yusei removes one Chain Counter from "Monster Chain" (Chain Counters: 3 → 2).

**Turn 11: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei then activates "Speed Spell - Shift Down" to draw two cards. Yusei Sets three cards. Yusei then switches "Cosmic Compass" and his "Compass Token" to Attack Position.

**Turn 12: Yugo**

Yugo draws. Yugo passes his turn. On Yugo's End Phase, Yusei removes one Chain Counter from "Monster Chain" (Chain Counters: 1 → 0). Since "Monster Chain" has no Chain Counters, it is destroyed via its own effect. Yusei activates his face-down "Card of Sacrifice" to draw two cards since the combined ATK of all Attack Positions monster he controls is lower than the ATK of "Clear Wing", however he can't summon any monsters this turn and he can't change any monsters' Battle Positions this turn.

**Turn 13: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei activates his face-down "Wasteland Tornado" to destroy "Dragon's Bind". Yusei Normal Summons "Blue Expense Falcon" (800/800) in Attack Position. Yusei then activates the effect of "Blue Expense Falcon" to Special Summon "Bright Star Dragon" (1900/1000) from his hand in Attack Position. Yusei then tunes the Level 4 "Bright Star Dragon" and the Level 1 "Cosmic Compass" and "Compass Token" with the Level 2 Tuner monster "Blue Expense Falcon" to Synchro Summon the Level 8 "Stardust Dragon" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Since "Cosmic Compass" was used for a Synchro Summon, its effect activates, letting Yusei draw one card. Yusei activates his face-down "Miracle Locus" to increase the ATK of "Stardust Dragon" by 1000 and allow it to attack twice this turn ("Stardust Dragon": 2500 → 3500/2000) as well allow Yugo to draw one card. "Stardust Dragon" attacks "Clear Wing", but Yugo activates the effect of the "Red-Eyed Dice" in his Graveyard, banishing it to negate the attack. "Stardust Dragon" attacks and destroys "Clear Wing" (Yugo: 2600 → 2100 LP). As Yugo took damage during the Battle Phase, he Special Summons "Speedroid Gum Prize" (0/800) from his hand via its own effect. Yusei Sets two cards.

**Turn 14: Yugo**

Yugo draws. He activates "Shadow Stepper", which lets him Special Summon a monster from his Graveyard that was originally Special Summoned from the Extra Deck with a lower Level than the Level of an opponent's monster. He targets "Stardust Dragon" and Special Summons "Clear Wing" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. He tunes the Level 7 "Clear Wing" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Gum Prize" to Synchro Summon "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. As "Gum Prize" was sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon, Yugo activates its effect, letting him draw a card, reveal it and send it to the Graveyard. If it was a "Speedroid" monster, the Synchro Monster Summoned by its first effect will gain ATK equal to the sent monster's ATK. He draws "Speedroid Ohajikid" and sends it to the Graveyard ("Crystal Wing" 3000 → 4000). "Crystal Wing" attacks "Stardust Dragon". As "Crystal Wing" is battling an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster, Yugo activates the effect of "Crystal Wing", increasing its ATK by the ATK of the attack target during damage calculation ("Crystal Wing" 4000 → 6500). Yusei then activates his face-down "Enduring Soul" to decrease the ATK of "Shooting Star Dragon" by 800 after damage calculation in order to prevent its destruction ("Stardust Dragon": 2500 → 1700/2500). Yusei activates his face-down "Half Shield" to halve the damage he would take (Yusei: 3000 → 1000 LP). Yugo Sets a card.

**Turn 15: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Since "Stardust Dragon" is face-up on Yusei's side of the field, he activates the effect of "Stardust Xiaolong" to Special Summons itself (100/100) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Yusei then Normal Summons "Mach Synchron" (0/0) in Attack Position. Yusei then tunes the Level 1 "Stardust Xiaolong" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Mach Synchron" to Synchro Summon the Level 2 Synchro Tuner monster "Formula Synchron" (200/1500) in Attack Position. Since "Mach Synchron" was used for a Synchro Summon, its effect activates, allowing Yusei to add "Stardust Xiaolong" from his Graveyard to his hand. Yusei then activates the effect of "Formula Synchron" to draw one card. Yusei attempts to Accel Synchro by tuning "Stardust Dragon" with "Formula Synchron". However, Yugo taunts Yusei about how his father Professor Fudo, who sought human evolution, had caused Zero Reverse. This breaks Yusei's "Clear Mind" requirement for performing an Accel Synchro Summon, causing it to fail. Yusei Sets a card.

**Turn 16: Yugo**

Yugo draws. Yugo activates "Shock Surprise", which lets him banish a "Speedroid" monster from his Graveyard to destroy a monster his opponent controls. Yugo banishes "Tri-Eyed Dice" to destroy "Stardust Dragon", but Yusei Tributes "Stardust Dragon" to negate the effect of "Shock Surprise" and destroy it, however, since a monster effect was activated, Yugo activates the effect of "Crystal Wing" to negate that monster's effect, destroy it, and increase its ATK by the ATK of the destroyed monster ("Crystal Wing": 4000 → 6500). "Crystal Wing" attacks and destroys "Formula Synchron".

**Turn 17: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei activates his face-down "Ghoul Summoner" to revive "Stardust Dragon" (2500/2000) in Attack Position and equip it with "Ghoul Summoner". Yusei then activates the second effect of "Ghoul Summoner" to discard "Stardust Xiaolong" and revive "Formula Synchron" (200/1500) in Attack Position. Yusei then activates the effect of "Formula Synchron" to draw a card. Yusei Normal Summons "Mystic Piper" ([4]1/0/0) in Attack Position. Yusei then activates the effect of "Mystic Piper" to Tribute itself and draw one card ("Sonic Chick"). Since Yusei drew a monster, he activates the second effect of "Mystic Piper" to draw one more card ("Graceful Revival").

**Turn 18: Yugo**

Yugo draws. Yusei tunes "Stardust Dragon" with "Formula Synchron" in order to Accel Synchro Summon "Shooting Star Dragon" (3300/2500) in Attack Position. "Crystal Wing" attacks "Shooting Star Dragon". Yusei activates the effect of the "Effect Veiler" in his hand, discarding it to negate the effects of "Crystal Wing" until the End Phase, but Yugo activates the effect of "Crystal Wing" to negate that effect and destroy it (No ATK increase because "Effect Veiler" has 0 ATK). Yusei activates the effect of "Shooting Star Dragon" to remove it from play until the End Phase and negate the attack. Yugo Sets a card. On Yugo's End Phase, "Shooting Star Dragon" (3300/2500) returns to the field in Attack Position.

**Turn 19: Yusei**

Yusei draws. Yusei activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton" to draw two cards and send "Necro Defender" from his hand to the Graveyard. Yusei then Normal Summons "Balance Blaster" ([5]1/0/0) in Attack Position. Yusei then removes the "Necro Defender" in his Graveyard from play in order to target "Shooting Star Dragon" and prevent Yusei from taking any Battle Damage from battles involving "Shooting Star Dragon" this turn. Yusei then activates the first effect of "Shooting Star Dragon" to check the top five cards of his Deck and grant "Shooting Star Dragon" one attack for each Tuner Monster he finds. He finds "Speed Warrior", "Drill Synchron", "Nitro Synchron", "Shield Wing", and "Hyper Synchron", so "Shooting Star Dragon" gains three attacks. Yugo then activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card, "Follow Wing", letting him target a monster he controls and prevent it from being destroyed by battle. If it is targeted for an attack by an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster that monster will be destroyed and the target will gain ATK equal to the destroyed monster's ATK. Yugo targets "Crystal Wing" for both of these effects. but Yusei activates his face-down "Joint Future" to negate the effect of "Follow Wing" and return it to Yugo's Deck. "Shooting Star Dragon" attacks "Crystal Wing" three times. Yusei then activates the effect of "Enduring Soul" three times to prevent "Shooting Star Dragon" from being destroyed. Yusei then activates the effect of "Balance Blaster" to negate the decreases that "Shooting Star Dragon" would have gotten and inflict damage to Antinomy equal to the amount "Shooting Star Dragon" would have lost (Yugo: 2100 → 1300 → 500 → 0 LP).
