{{episode summary|[[Duel Academy]]'s Graduation Duels begins, and [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] [[Duel]]s a second-year student named [[Taigo Daigo Sorano]]. Meanwhile, [[Trueman]]'s attack begins in [[Domino City]], where he begins absorbing residents into the [[World of Darkness]].}}
==Summary==
At [[Duel Academy]], [[Chancellor Sheppard]] and [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] announce the start of the graduation Duels. Crowler explains that the third-year students' goal is to obtain one hundred points through Dueling. A loss earns one point. A win against a first-year student earns one point, a win against a second-year student earns two points and a win against a third-year student earns three points. Each student may only Duel the same opponent one time. Once you earn one hundred points, the last requirement for graduation is met. However, students may continue accumulating points past one hundred. The student with the most amount of the points at the end of the year will receive a replica of [[Yugi Muto]]'s Deck, provided by [[Industrial Illusions]].
When [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] returns to the [[Slifer Red]] dorm, he finds a group of students waiting for him. A second-year [[Obelisk Blue]] student named [[Taigo Daigo Sorano]] challenges him, stating he's always dreamed of Dueling Jaden and informs him that the large group of second-year Obleisk Blue and [[Ra Yellow]] students behind him also wish to Duel him. At the Obelisk Blue dorm, [[Alexis Rhodes|Alexis]], [[Syrus Truesdale|Syrus]] and [[Chazz Princeton|Chazz]] find themselves similarly popular targets, as students crowd around, wishing to Duel them. [[Atticus Rhodes|Atticus]] is also attempting to find an opponent, and is then cornered by what appears to be the entirety of the girl's dorm, save Alexis, who all wish to Duel him.
