Summary[edit]
Zane Truesdale's Duel with the Yubel-possessed Jesse Anderson continues, with Jesse saving the rest of his Life Points with "Rainbow Path". Jesse then Summons the "Rainbow Dark Dragon" since all 7 of his Advanced Crystal Beasts are either on the field or in his Graveyard. Rainbow Dark Dragons brings Zane down to a measly 200 Life Points.
Zane and Jesse keep bringing various counters to each other's moves. Zane comments that he spent his life dueling across the world, and realised that even though he achieved victory, he had completely forgotten the importance of having fun. He intends to make this final Duel the best one he ever had, regardless of the result.
Eventually, he decides that that he'll win to free Jesse from Yubel's control, planning to drag Yubel with him when he dies. However, Jesse has one last counter up his sleeve, and though Zane Summons "Cyber End Dragon" with 16,000 attack points, he loses due to the effect of "Power Bond". As his Life Points reach zero, his heart stops.
Yubel comments that it didn't expect to use so much power in that one Duel, but tells Jaden that they will Duel when the time comes, retreating for now. As Zane fades away, he tells Jaden that he's no longer a kid (In the English version, tells his brother that he will always be proud of him).
Featured Duel: Zane Truesdale vs. Jesse Anderson[edit]
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Zane Truesdale has 3400 LP and controls "Cyber Barrier Dragon" (800/2800) and 2 copies of "Cyber Dragon" (2100/1600), all in Attack Position. Jesse Anderson has 1900 LP and controls 1 Set card, "Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle", "Advanced Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat", and "Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" in his Spell & Trap Zones (with the "Advanced Crystal Beasts" being Continuous Spells), as well as "Advanced Dark" in his Field Zone.
Turn 4: Zane
The second "Cyber Dragon" has just attacked directly. Jesse activates his face-down "Rainbow Path" to send "Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle" from his Spell & Trap Card Zone to the Graveyard and negate the attack as well as add "Rainbow Dark Dragon" from his Deck to his hand.
Turn 5: Jesse
Jesse draws. Since there are 7 differently named "Advanced Crystal Beast" monsters on Jesse's field and/or Graveyard he Special Summons "Rainbow Dark Dragon" (4000/0) in Attack Position. "Rainbow Dark Dragon" attacks "Cyber Barrier Dragon". Zane attempts to activate the effect of "Cyber Barrier Dragon" to negate the effect, but due to the last effect of "Advanced Dark", the effects of "Cyber Barrier Dragon" are negated due to "Rainbow Dark Dragon" attacking it. "Rainbow Dark Dragon" then destroys "Cyber Barrier Dragon" (Zane 3400 → 200). Jesse Sets a card.
Turn 6: Zane
Zane draws "Photon Generator Unit" and subsequently activates it to Tribute two "Cyber Dragons" and Special Summon "Cyber Laser Dragon" (2400/1800) in Attack Position. Zane then activates the effect of "Cyber Laser Dragon" effect to destroy "Rainbow Dark Dragon" (as its ATK is higher than the ATK of "Cyber Laser Dragon"), but Jesse activates the last effect of "Rainbow Dark Dragon" to send "Advanced Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat" from his Spell & Trap Card Zone to the Graveyard and prevent its destruction. Zane Sets a card.
Turn 7: Jesse
Jesse draws. "Rainbow Dark Dragon" attacks "Cyber Laser Dragon", but Zane activates his face-down "Cybernetic Hidden Technology" and activates the latter's effect to Tribute "Cyber Laser Dragon", destroy "Rainbow Dark Dragon", and end the Battle Phase. Jesse then activates the last effect of "Rainbow Dark Dragon" to send "Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" from his Spell & Trap Card Zone to the Graveyard and prevent its destruction. Jesse then Sets a card.
Turn 8: Zane
Zane draws "Cyber Valley" and subsequently Normal Summons it (0/0) in Attack Position. Zane then activates the second effect of "Cyber Valley" to remove it and "Cybernetic Hidden Technology" from play and draw two cards ("Overload Fusion" and "Dimension Explosion").
Zane then activates "Overload Fusion" to remove from play his three "Cyber Dragons", his "Cyber Laser Dragon", and his "Cyber Barrier Dragon" from his Graveyard in order to Fusion Summon "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" (0/0) in Attack Position. Due to the third effect of "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon", it gains one attack for each Fusion Material Monster used for its Fusion Summon and Zane used five monsters for "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon's" Fusion Summon.
"Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" attacks "Rainbow Dark Dragon" four times. Due to the second effect of "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon", damage calculation is not applied during any of the attacks. The fourth effect of "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" then activates four times, inflicting 1600 damage to Jesse (400 for each attack "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" made) (Jesse 1900 → 1500 → 1100 → 700 → 300).
Jesse then activates his face-down "Rainbow Life" to discard "Amber Crystal Circle", negate all effect damage he took this turn prior to this card's activation, and gain Life Points equal to the negated amount (Jesse 300 → 1900 → 3500). "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" attacks "Rainbow Dark Dragon" again, but damage calculation is once again not applied. The last effect of "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" then activates (Jesse 3500 → 3100). Zane Sets a card.
Turn 9: Jesse
Jesse draws. "Rainbow Dark Dragon" attacks "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon", but Zane activates his face-down "Dimension Explosion" to return "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" to his Fusion Deck and Special Summon his removed from play "Cyber Valley" (0/0) and three "Cyber Dragons" (2100/1600 for each) in Attack Position. Zane then activates the first effect of "Cyber Valley" to remove the latter from play, draw one card ("Cybernetic Zone"), and end Jesse's Battle Phase.
Turn 10: Zane
Zane draws "Power Bond", and subsequently activates it to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" together and Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon" (4000/2800) in Attack Position. Due to the second effect of "Power Bond", the ATK of "Cyber End Dragon" is doubled ("Cyber End Dragon": 4000 → 8000/2800), but Zane will take damage equal to the original ATK of "Cyber End Dragon" during his End Phase.
"Cyber End Dragon" attacks "Rainbow Dark Dragon", but Jesse activates his face-down "Counter Gem" to send the latter to the Graveyard, take "Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle", "Advanced Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat", "Advanced Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise", "Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus", and "Advanced Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger" from his Graveyard and place them in his Spell & Trap Card Zone as Continuous Spell Cards.
Jesse then activates the last effect of "Rainbow Dark Dragon" to send all "Advanced Crystal Beast" monsters from his Spell & Trap Card Zone to the Graveyard and increase the ATK of "Rainbow Dark Dragon" by 1000 for each monster sent to the Graveyard this way ("Rainbow Dark Dragon": 4000 → 9000/0). Zane activates "Cybernetic Zone" to remove "Cyber End Dragon" from play. On Zane's End Phase, the second effect of "Cybernetic Zone" returns "Cyber End Dragon" in Attack Position with its ATK doubled (8000 → 16000/2800). The final effect of "Power Bond" activates (Zane 200 → 0).
Mistakes[edit]
In the US version, when Zane's life points drop to 200, the meter goes down, then back up, then down again.
