"The Spell Card 'Come Back!' lets me return Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon to my hand!"
Kaito raised his right arm high. Galaxy-Eyes on Kira's field was enveloped in starlight, countless stars spiraling into a galaxy-like vortex as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's body gradually broke apart and vanished within it.
The disintegrating starlight then gathered again toward Kaito's side of the field, reforming into the noble dragon. A galactic vortex swirled within its hollow eyes, and its roar carried fury and pride.

"My Galaxy-Eyes is back where it belongs!" Kaito shouted.
"Oh, that's Kaito for you!" Yuma said. "He got his own Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon back in an instant!"
"And that's not all," Astral said. "This means Kira effectively lost 2000 Life Points for nothing, and his Field has become empty.
Meanwhile, Kaito no longer needs to search for and set up Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, nor does he need to Tribute monsters to Summon it. He has saved a great deal of resources. If he attacks next—"
"Then Kaito wins?" Yuma asked in surprise. "But this is only the first turn. Can it really be that easy?"
Astral said nothing, but he shared Yuma's thoughts. He silently turned to look at Kira.
Yes... would you really let the Duel end so easily? Or were you hiding some unexpected trick?
Having reclaimed Galaxy-Eyes, Kaito did not immediately press his attack. Instead, he played another card from his hand. "Next, I Normal Summon Photon Smasher!"
Flowing Photon energy gathered on the Field and formed metallic armor. Silver-white and green plating covered a burly warrior, who gripped a handle in his hands as metallic structures extended from both sides, forming a weapon resembling a double-headed hammer.

"Have you prepared to repent!?" Kaito shouted.
