Jesse summons "[[Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (anime)|Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder]]" on his first turn, and Adrian has drawn four Exodia pieces already. However, Yubel knowing Adrian's strategy, as she had also used Exodia in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 127|past]], forces him to [[discard]] his hand with "[[Hand of Destruction|Hand Destruction]]". Adrian, however, is able to activate "[[Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" from his [[Graveyard]], Summoning "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (anime)|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]". Throughout the Duel, Yubel taunts Adrian for sacrificing [[Echo]], and in the Japanese version, commenting that she herself wouldn't want to live without "her beloved Judai". Yubel successfully Summons the fused form of the [[Sacred Beast]]s, "[[Chaos Phantasm Armityle]], and uses it to [[banish]] "Exodius".

Adrian's hand contains "[[Right Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Right Arm of the Forbidden One]]", "[[Right Leg of the Forbidden One (anime)|Right Leg of the Forbidden One]]", "[[Left Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Arm of the Forbidden One]]", "[[Left Leg of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Leg of the Forbidden One]]", and "[[Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]". Jesse activates "[[Hand of Destruction|Hand Destruction]]" to make both players send four cards in their hand to the Graveyard and force them to [[Draw a card|draw]] four cards. Adrian sends four cards in his hand ("Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", "Left Leg of the Forbidden One", "Left Arm of the Forbidden One" and "Right Leg of the Forbidden One") to the Graveyard and draws four cards. Since Jesse has only three cards in his hand, he sends those cards (two "Delta Barriers" and "Dual Gate") from his hand to the Graveyard and draws three cards. Jesse then [[Set]]s a card.

Jesse draws. He then sends his three "Delta Barriers" to the [[Graveyard]] in order to [[Special Summon]] "[[Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (anime)|Uria, Lord of Searing Flames]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. Due to the first effect of "Uria", it gains 1000 ATK for each Continuous Trap card Card in Jesse's Graveyard ("Uria": 0 → 3000/0). The effect of "Burden of the Mighty" affects "Uria" ("Uria": 3000 → 2000/0). Jesse then activates "[[Eternal Reverse]]" and equips the latter to "Uria". Jesse then activates the first effect of "Eternal Reverse" to set "Burden of the Mighty" ("Hamon": 3000 → 4000/4000; "Uria": 2000 → 3000/0). Jesse then activates the second effect of "Uria" to destroy Adrian's face-down "Burden of the Mighty". "Hamon" then attacks "Exodius". Due to the first effect of "Exodius", it is not destroyed (Adrian 4000 → 3000).

Jesse draws "[[Dual Gate]]" and subsequently activates it to [[Banish|remove]] it and another "Dual Gate" in his Graveyard from play in order to draw two cards. Jesse then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Illusion Brigadier (anime)|Illusion Brigadier]]" (1100/800) in Attack Position. Since "Illusion Brigadier" was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, letting Jesse Special Summon a "[[Brigadier Token]]" for every other monster he controls. Jesse has two other monsters, so "Illusion Brigadier" Special Summons two "Brigadier Tokens" (0/0 each) in Attack Position. Jesse then activates the second effect of "Phantom Skyblaster" to inflict 300 damage to Adrian for every "Skyblaster" monster on his side of the field (Adrian 3000 → 2100). Jesse then Tributes "Phantom Skyblaster" and the two "Skyblaster Tokens" in order to Special Summon "[[Raviel, Lord of Phantasms (anime)|Raviel, Lord of Phantasms]]" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. Jesse then activates "[[Dimension Fusion Destruction]]" to remove the three [[Sacred Beasts]] from play and [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Chaos Phantasm Armityle]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. Jesse explains that "Armityle" can't be destroyed in battle and it can inflict 10,000 Battle Damage to one monster on Adrian's side of the field.

Jesse then activates "[[Dimension Fusion Destruction (anime)|Dimension Fusion Destruction]]" to remove the three [[Sacred Beasts]] from play and [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Chaos Phantasm Armityle]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. "Armityle" cannot be destroyed in battle and it can inflict 10,000 Battle Damage to one monster on Adrian's side of the field, however Adrian announces that "Exodius" is unaffected by the opponent's monster effects. Jesse then activates the third effect of "Armityle" to give control of it to Adrian. On Jesse's [[End Phase]], the fourth effect of "Armityle" removes "Exodius" from play and returns to Jesse's side of the field. Due to the last effect of "Exodius", it is sent to the Graveyard instead of the Removed from Play Zone.

* When Adrian is explaining to Jesse that he will win the Duel if all 5 Exodia parts are in his Graveyard due to the effect of "Exodius", the left side of "Exodius'" crown is colored incorrectly.* In the English Dubdub, at the start of turn 4 when Adrian draws a card, the monster card Monster Card on his duel disk Duel Disk has the artwork for "[[Yubel]]" instead of "Exodius, The Ultimate Forbidden Lord".* In the dub, during the second turn when Adrian activates the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" in his Graveyard, he mentions that it is thanks to Jesse that he can activate it due to having all 5 "Forbidden" cards in his Graveyard, however there were only 3 "Forbidden One" monsters in his Graveyard at that moment.* The artworks of all 5 "Forbidden One" monsters are of the original Japanese artwork with the sole exception of "Exodia the Forbidden One", which uses the TCG artwork.
