The duel between Aster and Sartorius continues. Aster is quickly backed into a corner by Sartorius' Arcana Force cards. Due to Sartorius' sinister assaults and psychological warfare, Aster begins to lose his resolve. After remembering pleasant members of Sartorius and a spiritual manifestation of the real Sartorius, Aster makes a dramatic turnaround and attempts to finish off Sartorius with Destiny Hero - Plasma, but is ultimately defeated. As the Light of Destruction's influence intensifies on Sartorius, angered by Sartorius heartless victory, Jaden challenges Sartorius, betting the fate of the world.

Aster Phoenix vs. Sartorius

Sartorious' Turn

• Summons Arcana Force III - The Empress (1300/1300) and activates its effect. It lands face-up, so when Aster summons a monster, Sartorious can Special Summon another monster from his hand as long as it has "Arcana Force" in its name
• Sets a card

Aster's Turn

• Summons Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (1400/1600)
• Diamond Dude's effect activates, so Aster must look at the top card of his deck. If it's a Spell Card, it goes to the graveyard and next turn it's activated
• The top card is Destiny Draw, so it goes to the Graveyard
• Sartorious activates Empress' effect to Special Summon Arcana Force IV - The Emperor (1400/1400) and activates its effect. It lands right side up, so all of his momsters receive 500 ATK (1900/1400) (1800/1300)
• Aster sets a card

Sartorious Turn

• Summons Arcana Force VII - The Chariot (2200/1700) and activates its effect. Since it lands right side up, when he destroys a monster as a result of battle he can summon it to his side of the field
• The Chariot destroys Diamond Dude
• Aster activates Destiny Signal to Special Summon a Destiny Hero from his Deck. He chooses Destiny Hero - Defender (100/2700)
• Sartorious activates The Chariot's effect to summon Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (1400/1600) to his side of the field

Aster's Turn

• Activates Destiny Draw and discards a Destiny Hero to draw two cards.
• Summons Destiny Hero - Dunker (1100/1700)

Sartorious' Turn

• Activates The Empress' effect to tribute herself and Diamond Dude to summon Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon (3300/2800)
• Activates The Moon's effect to summon a Moon Token during his Standby Phase

Aster's Turn

• Activates Dunker's effect, discarding a Destiny Hero to inflict 500 damage to Sartorious (Sartorious 3500)
• Sets a card

Sartorious' Turn

• Destiny Hero - Defender's effect allows Sartorius to draw a card during his Standby Phase
• Sartorious gains a Moon Token (0/0) on his side of the field due to The Moon's effect
• Tributes his Token and Chariot to summon Arcana Force XXI - The World (3600/3100) and activates its effect. Since it lands right side up, he can tribute two monsters to skip Aster's turn
• Emperor destroys Dunker
• Moon destroys Defender
• Attacks directly with World
• Aster activates D - Fortune, removing a Destiny Hero from his graveyard to negate Sartorious' attack
• Sartorious activates World's effect, tributing Emperor and Moon to skip Aster's turn
• Attacks directly with World (Aster 900)

Aster's Turn

• Activates Doctor-D, removing a Destiny Hero from his graveyard to summon

another Destiny Hero from his graveyard. He chooses Destiny Hero - Disk Commander (300/300)

• Activates Disk Commander's effect. As he summoned it from the graveyard he can draw two cards
• Summons Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (600/800)
• Activates Doom Lord's effect, removing World from play for two turns
• Activates D - Formation. When Sartorious destroys a Destiny Hero Aster gains a D-Counter

Sartorious' Turn

• Activates Necro Sacrifice, Special Summoning a monster from his hand as long as he gives Aster monsters from his graveyard equal to the number of tributes to the selected monster's LVL. He gives Aster his Emperor and Empress
• Summons Arcana Force XV - The Fiend (2500/2500) and activates Emperor and Empress' effect. They both land face-down. When Sartorious summons a monster, Empress forces Aster to discard a card and the Emperor reduces Aster's two new monsters' ATK by 500
• Since Sartorious summoned Fiend, Aster must discard a card
• Activates Fiend's effect. As it's right side up, when it destroys an opponent's monster he can destroy another monster on Aster's field and reduce his LP by 500
• Destroys Doom Lord with Fiend and activates it's effect to destroy Emperor and inflict 500 damage to Aster (Aster 400)

Aster's Turn

• Tributes Disc Commander to summon Destiny Hero - Dasher (2100/1000)
• Activates Dasher's effect, tributing The Empress to increase its ATK by 1000 to 3100
• Destroys Fiend (Sartorious 2900)
• Dasher's effect switches it to defense position

Sartorious' Turn

• Activates Reverse Reborn to revive a Arcana Force monster and reverse its direction to activate its other effect
• Sartorius chooses Fiend. With its new effect, he can destroy every monster on the field when it declares an attack
• Sets a card

Aster's Turn

• As two turns have passed since Aster removed The World from play, it gets re-summoned
• Summons D - Cubic (0/0)
• Since Sartorious destroyed two Destiny Heroes while D - Formation was activated, he can send it to the graveyard to add as many D-Cubics from his Deck to his hand
• Sends all D - Cubics to the graveyard to activate their effect. As he sent two to the graveyard, they count as three tributes, so he summons Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900/600)
• Activates Plasma's effect to equip World it to Plasma (3450/600)
• Activates D-Force. As long as it's on top of his Deck he can't draw a card, but in return it makes Plasma immune to all effects
• Attacks Sartorious directly with Plasma
• Sartorious discards Arcana Force XIV - Temperance to reduce all battle damage to 0
• Aster removes D-Burst from his graveyard to activate its effect: by reducing one monster's ATK by 1000 it gets to attack twice. He chooses Plasma (2450/600), then attacks Sartorious directly (Sartorious 450)

Sartorious' Turn

• Activates The Material Lord, The Spiritual Lord and The Sky Lord
• Tributes all three to summon Arcana Force Extra - The Light Ruler (4000/4000)
• Attacks Plasma (Aster 0)

Sartorious wins
