GX]] '' anime.

==Summary==
Having defeated every student of [[North Academy]] and officially enrolling in the school, a ceremony is held for [[Chazz Princeton]]. Dressed in his new uniform, a tattered black coat, Chazz is given the most powerful Deck that North Academy has by [[Chancellor Foster]]. The students begin chanting, confident that this year, Chazz will win them the inter-school match. At [[Duel Academy]]'s arena, [[Jaden Yuki]] Summons "[[Elemental Hero Avian (anime)|Elemental HERO Avian]]", "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental HERO Burstinatrix]]", "[[Elemental Hero Clayman (anime)|Elemental HERO Clayman]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman (anime)|Elemental HERO Sparkman]]", and tells them to do their best in the upcoming duelDuel. [[Syrus Truesdale]] arrives and informs him that the North Academy students have arrived, and that he must hurry to the reception for them. They arrive at the docks, where North Academy's [[North Academy submarine|submarine ]] has moored. Foster shakes hands with [[Chancellor Sheppard]], but Jaden interrupts their conversation, eager to find out who is opponent will be. Sheppard tells him to be patient, but Jaden is insistent. Chazz reveals himself, telling Jaden that he'll be his opponent. Two helicopters arrive on the roof of the nearby boathouse, and Chazz's older brothers, [[Slade Princeton|Slade]] and [[Jagger Princeton|Jagger]] disembark. They reveal that they've brought in a television crew to broadcast the duel Duel live, and showcase Chazz's victory. Chazz meets with his brothers in private, and they remind him of their plan - Chazz must become the top Duel Monsters player in the world. With Slade being a leader in the political world, and Jagger being a leader in the financial world, the three brothers wished to achieve world domination. Jagger tells Chazz that his plan to drop out of Duel Academy to withdraw from their plan did not work, and that he was always the lazy one of the three. They give Chazz a briefcase full of rare and expensive cards, and tell Chazz to construct a new Deck with them. Jaden rushes to a bathroom to make himself more fit for television, and overhears Chazz inside, who is talking to himself and crying in the bathroom. He states that no one understands the burden he bears, and all he's ever told is that he must win. No one realizes what pressure that puts on him. The students gather at the arena, and Foster confirms with Sheppard that the prize will be the same as it was last year, though what exactly the prize might be isn't specified. They declare the official start of the Duel, and [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] introduces the participants. Crowler introduces Jaden first, but Chazz insists that he introduce himself instead, and insults Crowler. He claims he's changed since he left Duel Academy, and has grown much stronger. The Duel begins, with Chazz Summoning "[[Masked Dragon (anime)|Masked Dragon]]" in [[Defense Position]]. Jaden Summons "Burstinatrix", who attacks and [[destroy]]s "Masked Dragon". Its destruction triggers its effect, letting Chazz [[Special Summon]] a [[Dragon]]-[[type]] monster with an attack of 1500 or less from his [[Main Deck|Deck]]. He Summons "[[Armed Dragon LV3 (anime)|Armed Dragon LV3]]" in [[Attack Position]]. Syrus wonders what a [[LV Monsters|Level monster]] is and [[Alexis Rhodes]] explain that such monsters level up as they battle, growing stronger. Sheppard expresses disbelief that Foster gave Chazz access to the cards passed down through North Academy, and Foster reiterates that he's serious about winning the prize this year. Jaden [[Set]]s a card to end his turn. During his [[Standby Phase]], Chazz activates the effect of "Armed Dragon LV3", sending it to the [[Graveyard]] to Special Summon "[[Armed Dragon LV5 (anime)|Armed Dragon LV5]]" in its place. Jaden activates his face-down "[[Hero Ring (anime)|Hero Ring]]", which [[equip]]s to "Burstinatrix", preventing her from being attacked by monsters with 1900 or more attack points. However, Chazz reveals the effect of "Armed Dragon LV5". He may [[discard]] a monster and destroy a monster on the field with equal to or less attack points than the discarded one. Discarding "[[Flying Kamakiri 1 (anime)|Flying Kamakiri #1]]", Chazz destroys "Burstinatrix". He then attacks [[Direct attack|directly]] before Setting a card to end his turn. Slade and Jagger comment that Chazz is doing quite well, and joke that they should tell him to tone it down, so that there is not leftover broadcast time.

==Differences in adaptations==
*In the Japanese version, the students of [[North Academy|the north schoolcampus]] chant "Manjoume Thunder", which is a play on Manjoume's [[Wikipedia:Japanese honorifics|insistence at being addressed formally]]. He had [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 024|previously]] told them to address him as "Manjoume sanda-san", saying "Manjoume-san da!"(It's Manjoume-san!), which is similiar in pronunciation to the English word "thunder", thus causing the confusion. However, the nickname ends up sticking. In the English version, they chant "Chazz it up!" instead, which is a play on the term "jazz it up".
*In the Japanese version, [[Chancellor Foster|Ichinose]] asks [[Chancellor Sheppard|Samejima]] how [[Ms. Dorothy|Tome-san]] is doing, with the latter replying that she is fine, and that the match could not be held without her. In the English version, Foster instead comments that the duel Duel last year was not close - Duel Academy's representative won easily.
*In the Japanese version, [[Vellian Crowler|Professor Cronos]] accidentally causes calls [[Jaden Yuki|Judai]] "drop-out boy" while introducing him, as that was his nickname for [[Slifer Red|Osiris Red]] students in the Japanese version, particularly Judai. In the English version, he instead mispronounces Jaden's last name. Manjoume calls Cronos a [[Wikipedia:Kappa (folklore)|kappa]] in the Japanese version, while he refers to him as a "scrub" in the English version.
*In the Japanese version, [[Bastion Misawa|Misawa]] describes the cards in the [[Armed Dragon]] series as being so rare that they are usually only mentioned in legends. The English version tones this down, and he simply describes them as powerful cards. ==Errors==* When Chazz started the fifth turn, he is holding five cards in his hand, but he should only have four cards in his hand as he had removed "[[Flying Kamakiri 1 (anime)|Flying Kamakiri #1]]" and "[[Call of the Haunted (later anime)|Call of the Haunted]]" from his hand on his previous turn.
