 * Written sketch

Short Summary

 * The game is further introduced.
 * Kazuo manages to collect an amount of money through a disonest scheme and uses it to set a huge duel against another rookie, Dark Spark, in an attempt to double that money.
 * "Silence" gathers the Winner Five for the first time.

Kazuo "The Rookie" Abe vs. Fumi "Dark Spark" Tsukasa
This Duel is conducted inside Nexus using the Friction rules.

Since Fumi makes the first corner ahead of Kazuo, she earns the King of Speed bonus for the circuit until the next lap. This bonus makes it so that, when Fumi Summons a monster or activates a Summoning effect, that Summon/effect cannot be negated.

Turn 1: Fumi


 * Activates "Ascending Soul".
 * Normal Summons "Foul Fire-Fly".
 * Activates the effect of "Foul Fire-Fly", tributing "Foul Fire Freak" from her hand to Ritual Summon "Foul Fire Factory" in Defense Position.
 * The effect of "Foul Fire Freak" lets Fumi add an unspecified Level 3 monster to her hand (Kazuo's LP: 8000 → 7700).
 * The effect of "Ascending Soul" lets Fumi add "Foul Fire Freak" back to her hand.
 * Fumi activates the effect of "Foul Fire Factory" once (Kazuo's LP: 7700 → 7600).
 * Sets 1 card.
 * Kazuo attempts to collect a bonus, but Fumi activates the effect of "Foul Fire Factory" a second time, disrupting Kazuo and getting the bonus himself (Kazuo's LP: 7600 → 7500) (Fumi's Bonus: +20 points).

[Fumi's hand: 2] [Kazuo's hand: 5]

Turn 2: Kazuo


 * Fumi activates the effect of "Foul Fire-Fly", tributing "Foul Fire Freak" from his hand to Ritual Summon "Foul Fire Fiend" in Attack Position.
 * The effect of "Ascending Soul" lets Fumi add "Foul Fire Freak" back to her hand.
 * The effect of "Foul Fire Freak" lets Fumi add an unspecified Level 2 monster to her hand.
 * Fumi chains the effects of "Foul Fire Factory" and "Foul Fire Fiend", as well as her face-down "Flammable Area". They resolve in reverse order:
 * "Flammable Area" increases the original damage by Pyro monster's effect by 100.
 * The damaging effects of "Foul Fire Fiend", "Factory" and "Freak" resolve (Kazuo's LP: 7500 → 7050 → 6600 → 6300).
 * Kazuo activates "One Day of Peace".
 * Fumi chains with the effects of "Foul Fire Factory" and "Foul Fire Fiend" (Kazuo's LP: 6300 → 5850 → 5400).

Turn 3: Fumi

 * "Flammable Area" activates (Chain Link 1).
 * The effect of "Slow Domino" activates (Chain Link 2), allowing Kazuo to destroy Fumi's "Powder World", "Flammable Area" and "Ascending Soul". Furthermore, if Fumi Special Summons a Ritual Monster, "Slow Domino" will prevent all damage to Kazuo, although "Slow Domino" will be banished on Kazuo's next turn.
 * "Flammable Area" resolves, Special Summoning 1 Pyro Token.

[Fumi's hand: 3] (at this point: "Freak", the Level 2 "Foul Fire Familiar" and 1 more card; on field, Kazuo's "Bombarding Beetles" and "Slow Domino") [Kazuo's hand: 1] (on field, "Robin" and Fumi's "Fiend")

 * The effect of "Fantasm" negates the targetting effect of "Fiend" and resolves normally, destroying "Fiend".
 * Switches "Bombarding Beetles" to Defense Position.
 * Sets 1 card. [Fumi reiterates that, once Kazuo's LP is merely 100, he doesn't stand a chance against her burn effects unless he can defeat him in the next turn, before "Slow Domino" gets itself banished; this leads to Kazuo's super hype speech]

Turn 8: Kazuo


 * Draws "Seven Tools of the Bandit".

The Duel is interrupted at this point by Kazuo's intentional crash.
