## Featured Duel: Yusho Sakaki vs. Vector

**Turn 1: Vector**

Vector draws "Don Thousand's Throne" and subsequently activates it. As he has two copies of "Umbral Horror Ghost" in his hand, Vector Special Summons both ([1]2/200/200 each) in Attack Position through the effect of one copy. He then Normal Summons "Umbral Horror Will o' the Wisp" ([2]1/0/0) in Attack Position. As it was summoned, Vector activates the effect of "Umbral Horror Will o' the Wisp" to change its Level to that of "Umbral Horror Ghost" (as it's an "Umbral Horror" monster) ("Umbral Horror Will o' the Wisp": [3] 1 → 2). Vector overlays his two "Umbral Horror Ghosts" and "Umbral Horror Will o' the Wisp" in order to Xyz Summon "Number 43: Manipulator of Souls" ([4]2/0/0, ORU: 3) in Attack Position. Vector Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Yusho**

Yusho draws. As Yuri controls a monster while Yusho does not, Yusho Special Summons "Performapal Revue Dancer" from his hand in Attack Position (800/1000). "Revue Dancer" can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a "Performapal" monster, so Yusho Tributes it to Tribute Summon "Performapal Sky Magician" (2500/2000). Yusho activates "Magician's Left Hand", allowing him to negate the activation of a Spell Card once per turn. As Yusho activated a Continuous Spell Card, the effect of "Sky Magician" activates, increasing its ATK by 300 ("Sky Magician": 2500 → 2800 ATK). "Sky Magician" attacks "Manipulator of Souls" (Vector: 4000 → 1200 LP), but "Manipulator of Souls" isn't destroyed as "Sky Magician" isn't a "Number" monster. Yusho activates "Magician's Restage", allowing him to Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster from his Graveyard if he controls only one Spellcaster-Type monster. Yusho Special Summons "Performapal Revue Dancer". Yusho Sets a card. The first effect of "Don Thousand's Throne" activates, increasing Vector's Life Points by the total amount of damage he took this turn (Vector: 1200 → 4000 LP). As Vector gained Life Points, the fourth effect of "Manipulator of Souls" increases its ATK by that value ("Manipulator of Souls": 0 → 2800 ATK) and inflicts damage to Yusho equal to that value (Yusho: 4000 → 1200 LP).

**Turn 3: Vector**

Vector draws. "Manipulator of Souls" attacks "Sky Magician" (Vector: 4000 → 3700 LP). On Vector's End Phase, the effects of "Don Thousand's Throne" and "Manipulator of Souls" activate (Vector: 3700 → 4000 LP; "Manipulator of Souls": 2800 → 3100 ATK; Yusho: 1200 → 900 LP).

**Turn 4: Yusho**

Yusho draws. Yusho returns "Sky Magician" to his hand to Special Summon "Performapal Sky Pupil" (800/800) via its own effect. As "Sky Magician" left the field, Yusho activates its effect, which lets him destroy a Spell Card on the field. He destroys "Don Thousand's Throne". Yusho Tributes "Sky Pupil" to Tribute Summon "Sky Magician" (2500/2000). He then activates "Magician's Right Hand" ("Sky Magician": 2500 → 2800 ATK), which lets him negate the activation of a Spell Card and destroy it. "Sky Pupil" attacks "Manipulator of Souls". As Yusho controls "Sky Magician", the effect of "Sky Pupil" doubles its ATK ("Sky Pupil" 800 → 1600), and negates the effect of the monster it battles during damage calculation. Vector activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Evil 1" to prevent the destruction of "Manipulator of Souls" by battle and make the Battle Damage become equal to his current Life Points minus 1 (Yusho: 900 → 1 LP).

**Turn 5: Vector**

Vector draws. Vector activates "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to Rank-Up "Manipulator of Chaos" via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Number 43: High Manipulator of Chaos" (0/0) in Attack Position. Yusho activates "Sky Illusion", making all his Spellcaster-Type monsters unable to be destroyed by battle or card effects and "Sky Magician" the only monster that can be targeted for an attack this turn. Vector activates the second effect of "High Manipulator of Chaos" to detach a Chaos Overlay Unit ("High Manipulator of Chaos": 4 → 3 ORU) and Special Summon a "Manipulator Token" in Attack Position with its ATK and DEF becoming the same as Yusho's Life Points ([5]1/1/1). The "Manipulator Token" then attacks "Sky Magician" three times through the last effect of "High Manipulator of Chaos", as it has 3 Chaos Overlay Units. Due to the third effect of "High Manipulator of Chaos", none of the attacks destroy the "Manipulator Token", Vector takes no battle damage and "High Manipulator of Chaos" gains ATK equal to the battle damage he would have taken ("High Manipulator of Chaos": 0 → 2799 → 5598 → 8397/0). "High Manipulator of Chaos" attacks "Sky Magician" (Yusho 1 → 0).
