The Truth Behind Darkness! Judai VS Fubuki is the one hundred and fifty-ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Atticus Rhodes endeavors to recover his lost memories of what happened in the Abandoned Dorm, and duels Jaden Yuki at that location with Nightshroud's Deck in the hopes of it acting as a trigger for his memories. Yusuke Fujiwara continues his mysterious activities.

Summary

Atticus Rhodes confronts Yusuke Fujiwara in the Abandoned Dorm. Fujiwara asks Atticus what he's done to Fujiwara, as if Fujiwara is separate person. Atticus denies knowing, and Fujiwara's eyes glow red. Before he can harm Atticus, Axel Brodie arrives and throws a gas grenade, allowing him get Atticus to safety. Atticus is rendered unconscious, and ends up in the infirmary. Here, Axel meets up with Alexis Rhodes and Jaden Yuki, revealing to them that he was sent hired by Maximillion Pegasus of Industrial Illusions to investigate the cards that do not function properly with Duel Disks anymore. He states that he believes it's the island itself causing the phenomenon, and that Yusuke Fujiwara is the key to the incident.

Axel reveals that after Kagemaru was stopped by Jaden, he released all the scholarship students that had been used in the experiment for testing purposes. The only one who didn't return was Yusuke Fujiwara. Prior to his disappearance, Fujiwara was in the same year as Atticus and Zane Truesdale, and the three were regarded as the best duelists and students at Duel Academy. There were also rumors that Fujiwara had his own independent project, and Jaden realizes it must have been research into Nightshroud. Knowing that Atticus himself was once possessed by Nightshroud's dark powers, Jaden attempts to wake him up and question him. Alexis tells him to stop, but Jaden is insistent, which earns him a slap from Alexis. She states that Tyranno Hassleberry was right - Jaden truly has changed. Jaden responds that there are times that you cannot turn back - even if you want to.

At the Slifer Red dorm, Jaden interrogates the spirit of Professor Banner, trapping the spirit in a drawstring pouch and threatening to flush him the down the toilet. As Banner was involved in Kagemaru's plans, he wants to know any information Banner has. Banner claims that Atticus already had Nightshroud's powers - they did not give them to him. Outside, Atticus is slumped on the stairs, having left the infirmary without informing anyone. He tells Jaden to take him to the Abandoned Dorm. Upon arriving, Atticus says he can't remember what transpired in this building. Alexis, Hassleberry, Syrus Truesdale and Chazz Princeton track them there and question what Jaden is doing. Jaden claims a new threat will arrive soon, and that Atticus holds the answers to it - though he does not remember them. Atticus tells Jaden to duel him, hoping that using Nightshroud's Deck in this specific area will trigger the memories. Atticus takes out the Nightshroud card, and the dark aura seeps from it, transforming into the mask. Atticus claims that one of two things will happen - he will recover his memories during the duel, or Nightshroud will again possess him, as he did during his duel with Zane.

Atticus gains and early lead with "Inferno Fire Blast". After Jaden's successful counterattack, some of his memories begin to return. He recalls standing in the Abandoned Dorm, and Fujiwara, not himself wearing the Nightshroud mask, claiming to have found "the ultimate power". Atticus fights to maintain control of his body and not succumb to Nightshroud once more. Atticus Summons "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", and accurately surmises Jaden's strategy - he aimed to use "Contact Soul" to Summon "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, allowing him to return Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" to his hand and attack directly with "Elemental Hero Neos". The effect of "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon negates this. However, Jaden's backup strategy prevails and he wins the duel.

Through the duel, Atticus remembers everything. He reveals that Yusuke Fujiwara had had far greater talent at dueling than himself, or even Zane. However, his passion for dueling led him abnormal research. Discovering the powers of the "World of Darkness", Fujiwara was willing to sacrifice his own soul, as long as it meant gaining power, as it would also mean gaining eternal life. His hand bleeding, he allows the blood to drip onto an stone circle on the ground. The dark powers activate, and Fujiwara and Atticus are both pulled into a floating abyss. Fujiwara apologizes for involving Atticus, and gives him the Nightshroud mask he had been wearing, stating he no longer needs it. Atticus never donned the mask himself until he pulled into another dimension as part of Professor Banner's test. He used the powers to survive in that world, alluding to his defeat of Gravekeeper's Chief and obtaining his half of the Shadow Charm pendant. Atticus states Fujiwara was consumed by Nightshroud's power and died. A voice says that is not true. Fujiwara himself appers. Jaden claims he is a fake, while Fujiwara states that Atticus "abandoned his master". Jaden holds up "Honest" and urges him to reveal his true identity as the Fujiwara's former Spirit Partner.
