## Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Quinton

**Turn 1: Quinton**

Quinton draws "Planet Pathfinder" and subsequently Normal Summons it in (1000/1000) in Attack Position. He then Special Summons "Solar Wind Jammer" from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect by halving its original ATK (800 → 400/2400). Quinton activates "Tannhauser Gate" to target both his monsters and change their Levels to the sum of their original Levels ("Planet Pathfinder": [1] 4 → 9; "Solar Wind Jammer": [2] 5 → 9). He then overlays "Planet Pathfinder" and "Solar Wind Jammer" in order to Xyz Summon "Number 9: Dyson Sphere" (2800/3000, ORU: 2) in Attack Position. Quinton Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Yuma**

Yuma draws. He then Normal Summons "Tasuke Knight" (1700/100) in Attack Position. As he Normal Summoned a Level 4 monster, Yuma Special Summons "Kagetokage" (1100/1500) in Attack Position via its own effect. Yuma overlays his two Level 4 monsters in order to Xyz Summon "Number 39: Utopia" (2500/2000, ORU: 2) in Attack Position. He activates "Stealth Strike" to target "Utopia" (an Xyz Monster) and allow it to attack directly this turn, but its ATK is halved ("Utopia": 2500 → 1250/2000). "Utopia" attacks directly (Quinton: 4000 → 2750 LP).

**Turn 3: Quinton**

Quinton draws. "Dyson Sphere" attacks "Utopia", but Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia" to detach an Overlay Unit and negate the attack.

**Turn 4: Yuma**

Yuma draws. Yuma Sets two cards.

**Turn 5: Quinton**

Quinton draws. He then equips "Dyson Sphere" with "Gravity Blaster" and activates the latter's first effect to increase the ATK of "Dyson Sphere" by 400 ("Dyson Sphere": 2800 → 3200 ATK). "Dyson Sphere" attacks "Utopia". Due to the second effect of "Gravity Blaster", the effects of "Utopia" are negated. Yuma activates his face-down "Weaker Overlay" (as two Xyz Monsters are battling) to increase the ATK of the Xyz Monster that has less Overlay Units by 600 for each Overlay Unit attached to the Xyz Monster that has more, but Quinton activates his face-down "Space Gate" to negate and destroy "Weaker Overlay" since he controls a face-up "Dyson Sphere". "Dyson Sphere" then destroys "Utopia" (Yuma: 4000 → 3300 LP). Quinton Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Yuma**

Yuma draws. Yuma activates his face-down "Xyz Reborn" to revive "Utopia" (an Xyz Monster) in Attack Position and attach "Xyz Reborn" to it as a Overlay Unit ([3]4/2500/2000, ORU: 1). Yuma activates "Xyz Treasure" to draw two cards (one for each Xyz Monster on the field). "Utopia" attacks "Dyson Sphere". Yuma activates "Flash Effect" to increase the ATK of "Utopia" by 800 ("Utopia": 2500 → 3300 ATK) and negate the effects of all face-up Effect Monsters on the field. Quinton activates his face-down "Micron Force" to halve the original ATK of "Utopia" ("Utopia": 3300 → 2050). Yuma activates "Double Bind" (as his monster's ATK was lowered) to double the ATK of "Utopia" ("Utopia": 2050 → 4100 ATK) and stop any effect that would prevent destruction of the opponent's monster by battle from being applied. "Utopia" then destroys "Dyson Sphere" (Quinton: 2750 → 1850 LP). Yuma Sets two cards.

**Turn 7: Quinton**

Quinton draws. Quinton then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Dyson Sphere" (2800/3000) in Attack Position. Quinton then activates "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" to Rank-Up "Dyson Sphere" via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Number 9: Chaos Dyson Sphere" (3600/3200, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. "Chaos Dyson Sphere" attacks "Utopia", but Yuma activates the effect of the "Tasuke Knight" in his Graveyard, reviving it (1700/100) in Attack Position and ending the Battle Phase as he has no cards in his hand. Quinton activates the second effect of "Chaos Dyson Sphere" to inflict 500 damage to Yuma for each Overlay Unit attached to it (Yuma: 3300 → 2800 LP).

**Turn 8: Yuma**

Yuma draws. Yuma switches "Tasuke Knight" and "Utopia" to Defense Position. Yuma Sets a card.

**Turn 9: Quinton**

Quinton draws. "Chaos Dyson Sphere" attacks "Utopia", but Yuma activates his face-down "Guts Guard" to change the attack target to "Dododo Warrior" and prevent its destruction by battle this turn. Quinton activates the first effect of "Chaos Dyson Sphere" to attach "Tasuke Knight" to itself as an Overlay Unit since it battled with "Chaos Dyson Sphere". Quinton activates the second effect of "Chaos Dyson Sphere" to inflict 500 damage to Yuma for each Overlay Unit attached to it (Yuma: 2800 → 1800 LP). Quinton Sets two cards.

**Turn 10: Yuma**

Yuma draws. Yuma performs a Shining Draw and gets "Rank-Down Magic Numeron Fall". Yuma activates "Rank-Down-Magic Numeron Fall to Rank-Down "Utopia" via Rank-Down Xyz De-Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Number 39: Utopia Roots" ([4]1/500/100, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. "Utopia Roots" attacks "Chaos Dyson Sphere". Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia Roots" to detach "Utopia" ("Utopia Roots": 1 → 0 ORU), attach it to "Chaos Dyson Sphere" ("Chaos Dyson Sphere": 2 → 3 ORU), negate the attack, and make the ATK of "Utopia Roots" equal to the difference in Ranks between itself and "Chaos Dyson Sphere" times 100 ("Utopia Roots": 500 → 900), then multiplying that ATK by the number of Overlay Units attached to "Chaos Dyson Sphere" ("Utopia Roots": 900 → 2700). As an attack was negated, Yuma activates "Double or Nothing!" to double the ATK of "Utopia Roots" ("Utopia Roots": 2700 → 5400 ATK) and allow it to attack again. Quinton activates his face-down "Power Analysis" to target "Chaos Dyson Sphere" (a Machine-Type monster) and change its ATK to that of "Utopia Roots" ("Chaos Dyson Sphere": 3600 → 5400). As an opponent's monster gained ATK, Yuma activates his face-down "Fiery Fervor", equipping it to "Utopia Roots" and doubling its ATK ("Utopia Roots": 5400 → 10800). "Utopia Roots" then destroys "Chaos Dyson Sphere" (Quinton: 1850 → 0 LP).
