[[Chazz Princeton]] watches the duel between [[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Syrus Truesdale]] from a distance. [[Midori Hibiki|Professor Hibiki]] returns from her business trip, and is curious as why there's no much commotion at the Duel Field after school hours. She approaches Chazz, and he reveals the situation and that Syrus is dueling to avoid explusion due to his grade of zero on the midterm. Syrus has [[activate]]d "[[Transformation]]", and he thinks he's bottled up the kindness his [[Zane Truesdale|brother]] chided in for in this armor, which resembles the "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". He reveals its effect, explaining why "[[Elemental Hero Stratos]]" was destroyed and the damage reduced to zero. He also reveals that he can [[negate]] as many attacks as he wants, but when "Transformation" is destroyed, he'll take damage equal to all the damage he negated with it.

Syrus draws "[[Carrierroid]]" and Summons it. He recalled that Jaden asked him why he refers to him as "big brother", despite having a real big brother. Syrus thinks that it's because his real brother taught him to duel, and due to Jaden's skill, he reminds him of Zane. Jaden activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to desroy "Transformation", but Syrus activates the effect of "Carrieroid", which lets him [[discard]] a card to remove "Transformation" from play for two turns, yet keep its effect active.

He attacks and destroys "Woodsman" and "Armoroid's" effect activates, dealing half of its attack points as damage.

Jaden is shocked that he's about to lose, but knows that losing his Deck is not an option, because of who gave him the Deck to begin with. He plays "[[Pot of Greed]]", drawing two cards. He Summons "[[Elemental Hero Voltic]]", equipping it with "[[Voltic Spear]]", which gives it a 1000 point attack boost. He then activates "[[Hero Solidarity]]", removing two "[[Elemental Heroes]]" in his Graveyard from play and letting him destroy two Spell or [[Trap Cards]]. He chooses two of "Armoroid's" equipped monsters, and its attack reduces to 1500 as a result. "Voltic" attacks and destroys "Armorroid", with the former's effect placing all removed from play cards into the Graveyard - including "Transformation", so Syrus takes damage via its effect, and Jaden wins the duel.

Jaden protests to [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] over Syrus being expelled over one zero, and Professor Hibiki arrives. She reveals that the transcripts Crowler took from her office were only provisional versions, and that there was a technicality. Syrus forgot to write his name down, so the computer automatically gave him a zero. He really scored a 91%. Hibiki had also submitted the finished transcripts to [[Chancellor Sheppard]] before leaving on her business trip, and intends to report Crowler to him. She also reveals that Jaden has to take a make-up midterm, with points automatically deducted, since he skipped the exam altogether.

"Best Friends!!", titled "Burning Friendship!!" (あつゆうじょう!! Atsuki Yūjō!!) in the Japanese version, and titled "Best Friends" in the English Shonen Jump magazine, is the ninth chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. It was first printed in Japanese in V Jump and in English in Shonen Jump. Both of which were printed in volume 1 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX graphic novels afterwards.

Summary[edit]

Chazz Princeton watches the Duel between Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale from a distance. Professor Hibiki returns from her business trip, and is curious as why there's no much commotion at the Duel Field after school hours. She approaches Chazz, and he reveals the situation and that Syrus is dueling to avoid explusion due to his grade of zero on the midterm. Syrus has activated "Transformation", and he thinks he's bottled up the kindness his brother chided him for in this armor, which resembles the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". He reveals its effect, explaining why "Elemental Hero Stratos" was destroyed and the damage reduced to zero. He also reveals that he can negate as many attacks as he wants, but when "Transformation" is destroyed, he'll take damage equal to all the damage he negated with it.

Syrus encased in the armor granted to him by "Transformation".

Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Woodsman" in Defense Position and activates "Oil", letting him return the FIRE-attribute "Elemental Hero Lady Heat" in his Graveyard to his hand. Syrus believes he'll try to Summon "Elemental Hero Inferno", but realizes he does not have "Polymerization" in his hand, but believes he'll draw it next turn. Jaden ends his turn, and Syrus Summons "Shuttleroid" in Attack Position. Jaden draws, and Syrus was correct - it's "Polymerization", which Jaden activates, fusing the "Lady Heat" and "Elemental Hero Heat" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Inferno". He attacks Syrus' "Shuttleroid", and Syrus activates its effect, allowing him remove it from play for two turns, and letting "Transformation" destroy "Inferno". Despite what's on the line, and Syrus' impressive strength, Jaden is now finally enjoying himself.

Syrus draws "Carrierroid" and Summons it. He recalled that Jaden asked him why he refers to him as "big brother", despite having a real big brother. Syrus thinks that it's because his real brother taught him to duel, and due to Jaden's skill, he reminds him of Zane.

Syrus reveals that he may treat his three monsters as Spell Cards and Special Summon "Armoroid" from his Fusion Deck, while equipping it with its own Fusion Materials. He attacks and destroys "Woodsman" and "Armoroid's" effect activates, dealing half of its attack points as damage.

Jaden is shocked that he's about to lose, but knows that losing his Deck is not an option, because of who gave him the Deck to begin with. He plays "Pot of Greed", drawing two cards.

Syrus' turn
"Shuttleroid" returns to the field during Syrus' Standby Phase, dealing Jaden 1000 damage with its effect (Jaden: 4000 → 3000).
