Featured Duel: Davis Motomiya vs. Gallantmon
 Turn 1: Davis 

Davis draws. He then Normal Summons "Flamedramon" (1500/???) in Attack Position.

 Turn 2: Gallantmon 

Gallantmon draws. He then activates "Shield of Justice". He then Normal Summons "Lightning Knight" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to destroy "Flamedramon" (as its Level is higher than it). "Lightning Knight" attacks Davis directly (Davis 4000 → 3000).

 Turn 3: Davis 

Davis draws. He then Normal Summons "Rock Star Piano" (1200/200) in Attack Position. He then activates "The Crest of Courage" to increase the ATK of all monsters he controls by 500 for every monster Gallantmon controls ("Rock Star Piano": 1200 → 1700/200). "Rock Star Piano" attacks and destroys "Lightning Knight" (Gallantmon 4000 → 3300). He then Sets a card. On Davis's End Phase, the effect of "The Crest of Courage" expires ("Rock Star Piano": 1700 → 1200/200).

 Turn 4: Gallantmon 

Gallantmon draws. He then Normal Summons "Pyro Knight" (1400/???) in Attack Position. Since he controls "Shield of Justice", Gallantmon activates "Lightning Lance". "Pyro Knight" attacks and destroys "Rock Star Piano" (Davis 3000 → 2800). He then Sets a card.

 Turn 5: Davis 

Davis draws. He then Normal Summons "Raidramon" (1100/1400) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to destroy "Shield of Justice", but Gallantmon activates his face-down "Protection" to prevent his Spells and Traps from being destroyed by card effects this turn. He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Flamedramon" (1500/???) in Attack Position. "Flamedramon" attacks "Pyro Knight". Due to the effect of "Flamedramon", it gains 700 ATK during damage calculation only ("Flamedramon": 1500 → 2200/???). "Flamedramon" destroys "Pyro Knight" (Gallantmon 3300 → 2500). "Raidramon" attacks Gallantmon directly (Gallantmon 2500 → 1400).

 Turn 6: Gallantmon 

Gallantmon draws. Since Gallantmon controls "Shield of Justice" and "Lightning Lance", he activates "Sword of Shivelry". He then activates the effect of "Sword of Shivelry" to send all three cards to the Graveyard and Special Summon "Gallantmon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. "Gallantmon" attacks and destroys "Raidramon" (Davis 2800 → 900). Since "Gallantmon" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, inflicting 1000 damage to Davis, but Davis activates his face-down "Miracle Wave" to halve the effect damage (Davis 900 → 400).

 Turn 7: Davis 

Davis draws. He then Normal Summons "ExVeemon" (1600/???) in Attack Position. He then activates "The Crest of Friendship" to target "ExVeemon" and increase the ATK of both monsters he controls by the ATK of "ExVeemon" ("Flamedramon": 1500 → 3100/???; "ExVeemon": 1600 → 3200/???). "ExVeemon" attacks and destroys "Gallantmon" (Gallantmon 1400 → 1200). "Flamedramon" attacks Gallantmon directly (Gallantmon 1200 → 0).
