Turn 9: Bolton
(Bolton's SPC : 8; Crow's SPC : 1)
Bolton draws. He then prepares to activate the effect of "Crimson Mefist" which will inflict 900 damage to Crow since he controls three cards, but Crow activates "Down Burst", Setting Bolton's "White Out" and "Sacred Arrow". Bolton activates the effect of "Crimson Mefist", but Crow activates "Delta Crow - Anti Reverse", destroying both of Bolton's Set Spell/Trap Cards. The effect of "Crimson Mefist" applies, but since Crow now controls only one card, he only takes 300 damage (Crow 600 → 300 Life Points). Bolton Normal Summons "White Warrior - Sleet the Morning Star" (0/0) in Attack Position. Bolton then Tributes "Sleet the Morning Star" to grant "Crimson Mefist" a new effect. Now if "Crimson Mefist" destroys a monster in battle, Crow will take damage equal to half the ATK of "Crimson Mefist". "Crimson Mefist" attacks "Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak", but Crow activates the effect of "Blackwing - Jetstream the Blue Sky", sending it from his hand to the Graveyard in order to prevent "Kochi the Daybreak" from being destroyed by the attack and to reduce all the Battle Damage from the attack to 0. Bolton Sets 1 card and ends his turn.

Turn 10: Crow
(Bolton's SPC : 9; Crow's SPC : 2)
Crow draws. He then Normal Summons "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" (1700/800) in Attack Position. He then tunes "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" with "Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak" to Synchro Summon "Black-Winged Dragon" (2800/1600) in Attack Position. Since Crow summoned a Synchro Monster, Bolton activates "Synchro Rivalry". Now monsters can't be destroyed by battle this turn. Crow activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton", drawing 2 cards and sending "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" from his hand to the Graveyard. He then Sets "Blackwing - Bombardment". This activates the effect of "Crimson Mefist", but the effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response, reducing the damage to 0 and decreasing its own ATK by the damage nullified ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2800 → 2500/1600). Crow then activates the effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite", returning "Blackwing - Bombardment" to his hand in order to Special Summon "Zephyros the Elite" from the Graveyard in Attack Position (1600/1000) and take 400 damage. The effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" then applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2500 → 2100/1600). Crow Sets "Blackwing - Bombardment" (Delta Crow - Anti Reverse in the dub). This activates the effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite", destroying it. "Crimson Mefist's" effect activates, but "Black-Winged Dragon's" effect activates in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2100 → 1800/1600). Crow then activates the effect of "Zephyros the Elite", returning his Set card to his hand, Special Summoning "Zephyros the Elite" (1600/1000) in Attack Position, and taking 400 damage. The effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 1800 → 1400/1600). Crow then sets "Blackwing - Bombardment". The effect of "Zephyros the Elite" activates, destroying itself. The effect of "Crimson Mefist" activates, but the effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 1400 → 1100/1600). Crow then activates the effect of "Zephyros the Elite", returning his Set card to his hand, Special Summoning "Zephyros the Elite" (1600/1000) in Attack Position, and taking 400 damage. The effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 1100 → 700/1600). Crow then Sets "Blackwing - Bombardment". The effect of "Zephyros the Elite" activates, destroying itself. The effect of "Crimson Mefist" effect activates, but the effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 700 → 400/1600). Crow then activates the effect of "Zephyros the Elite", returning his Set card to his hand, Special Summoning "Zephyros the Elite" (1600/1000) in Attack Position, and taking 400 damage. The effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 400 → 0/1600). Crow then activates the second effect of "Black-Winged Dragon", increasing its ATK by the total damage its effect nullified, and decreasing the ATK of "Crimson Mefist" by the exact same amount ("Black-Winged Dragon": 0 → 2800/1600) ("Crimson Mefist": 2800 → 0/1300). "Black-Winged Dragon" attacks "Crimson Mefist". Due to the effect of "Synchro Rivalry", "Crimson Mefist" is not destroyed, but Bolton still takes Battle Damage (Bolton 2800 → 0 Life Points).

Differences in adaptations

In the Japanese version, Bolton (Bolger) turned on Pearson after refusing investments from businessmen from New Domino because he thought Pearson was selfish & didn't care as much about completing the Duel Runner as he did being recognized for creating it himself. In the English dub, he knew that Pearson had selfless reasons for refusing but betrayed him anyway because he wanted the money.

Errors in the dub

When Crow Summons "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame", closer inspection of the card he drew beforehand was "Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield", which he then places on the field prior to "Shura"'s Summon.
