Girag activates "Hand Block".
Turn 4: Girag
Girag draws "Ice Hand" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1600/1600). He overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 106: Giant Hand" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. "Giant Hand" attacks "Shining Destroyer", but Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia", detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the attack. Girag activates the effect of "Giant Hand" as the effect of an opponent's Effect Monster was activated, detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the effect of an Effect Monster as long as "Giant Hand" is face-up. He negates the effect of "Utopia". The attack continues and "Shining Destroyer" is destroyed (Ray 4000 → 2000). The effect of "Shining Destroyer" activates, inflicting 600 damage to all players. Girag activates his face-down "Hand Block", reducing the effect damage he takes to 0 as he controls a "Hand" monster (Yuma 4000 → 3400, Ray 2000 → 1400)
Duel continues in the next episode.
