History Recap / YuGiOhArcVEp34ChimericBeastVSTheEvolvingFalcon

Kurosaki vs Sora continues. Kurosaki keeps countering Sora's moves and begins to Rank Up his Xyz monsters. The crowd's delight at Sora's fluffy Fluffal monsters begins to turn to horror as Sora's dueling tactics grow more desperate, and the missile attacks of Kurosaki's Raidraptors turn the Action Field into a fiery warzone.

Sora grows increasingly enraged and mockingly reveals Kurosaki is right; Sora's people ''did'' attack Kurosaki's home, and they had fun doing it, because to Sora and his people, scum Xyz users like Kurosaki are just prey to be hunted. Sora resorts to fusing all his Death-Toy[=/=]Frightfur monsters into "Death-Toy Mad Chimera (Frightfur Chimera)," and he tries to deal the final blow, but Kurosaki again counters and ranks up his monster once again to win the duel. In the aftermath, a collapsing Action Field building falls on Sora, injuring him.

* TheReveal: Sora's true, malevolent personality truly comes out this episode, right at the point where he bites through his lollipop.

* WhamEpisode: The duel itself is explosive, with multiple tit-for-tat situations, reversals, and monsters that are genuinely intimidating.
