Kaiba: Duel League Genesis continues on after quite the comeback victory from the crafty Blaze

Jack: He did quite the number and was able to outdo and outlast Kaiser.

Joey: Cyber-End woulda brought about his end but the fires never died down and he was able to go wild!

Jack: One way of saying that, but we must go on with another match up on our hands. Magnus (Rank 7; 3-1) against Strike (Rank 14; 2-2)

Announcer: Genesis continues with this duel. First, Magnus! (Rank 7; 3-1)

Joey: Someone who's been impressive since the beginning. 

Kaiba: Well, we saw only a loss thanks to the Number One Contender for the Duel League Champion 

Jack: But he's been lackluster as of late, we have yet to see his big moves so far.

Joey: Maybe tonight's the night?

Kaiba: A wily duelist who can keep up with other duelists that have just come up.
