Lilly's turn
Yuma's Life Points are damaged through unknown means (Yuma 2500 → 1900). Lilly activates her face-down "Star Light, Star Bright", changing the Level of "Teapot Kangaroo" to that of "Camelcycle" as they have the same ATK.

Turn 2: Lilly
Lilly activates "Eco Spell - Reduce Waste", banishing "Junk Robot Cleanaga" (1200/800) and "Junk Robot Computerkong" (1000/1000) from her Deck to add "Junk Robot Camelcycle" (800/1600) from her Deck to her hand. She Normal Summons it in Attack Position and activates "Eco Spell - Recycle", Special Summoning the two banished monsters. Lilly overlays the three monsters to Xyz Summon "Recycle Rhinobot" (2700/2000) in Attack Position.

Differences in adaptationsEdit

• Sakiyomi JumBANG! appearing in the World Duel Carnival ad are removed.

• The revealed electrical wires on the cord Yuma tried to connect on Lillybot is removed.

MistakesEdit

• When Lilly won the duel against Yuma for the first time, her WIN screen shows her with her pink ribbon attached, although she had only worn the ribbon moments after. This was corrected in the English dub.
• When Lilly attacked Yuma with "Wind-Up Zenmaister", "Zenmaister" remained with 1900 ATK Points. However, due to its effect, it should have increased to 2500.
• In the Italian dub, "Wind-Up Zenmaister" is called "Wind-Up Zenmaines".
