The Ultimate D-Card'''" cellspacing=in the Japanese version, is the ninety-eighth episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. [[Aster Phoenix]] discovers the awful truth about the murder of his father and the theft of the "0Ultimate Destiny" widthcard: the culprit behind both incidents is his current guardian, [[The D]] (who is another vessel possessed by [[The Light of Destruction]]). ==Summary==[[Aster Phoenix]] confronts his guardian, [[The D]] and asks if he won his duel with [[Doctor Collector]]. The D responds that of course, he did. When asked he called Aster here, The D reveals his sinister past. After seeing a new card design made by Aster's father, he sneaked into his apartment that night and attempted to steal the card. However, the card had been tainted by [[The Light of Destruction]], and The D kidnaps (kills in the Japanese version) Aster's father. He used "100%[[Destiny Hero - Plasma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Plasma]]"to become the champion of the [[Pro League]] and hold his title for ten years. Though he couldn't use the card in official matches, the powers of [[The Light of Destruction]] aided his victories in other ways. In underground duels, he steals the souls of countless duelists using the card. With his past revealed, Aster wishes to avenge his father, and he begins his duel with The D. Aster summons "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" on his first turn, but The D counters with "Destiny Hero - Plasma" and "[[D - Force]]", which forms a nearly unstoppable combo that renders "Plasma" virtually untouchable. Aster eventually uses "[[Destiny HERO - Dark Angel (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dark Angel]]" to seal the effect of "[[D - Force]]", after realizing that his father must have created it specifically to counter "Destiny Hero -Plasma". ! valign=When Aster is about to destroy "Plasma", The D reveals that the soul of Aster's father is trapped within the card. Aster's father speaks to him, and says he apologizes for creating such a powerful card. When he began to create it, he heard the voice of The Light of Destruction, and was unable to stop himself from finishing. He stated it was similar to what happened when [[Maximillion Pegasus]] created the [[Egyptian God]] cards. He states that the [[The Light of Destruction]] that possesses the The D is merely a husk; the real Light of Destruction exists inside of [[Sartorius]]. He urges Aster to attack and destroy "Plasma". Aster attacks and his father says good-bye to him before the destruction of "Plasma", which leaves Aster overwhelmed with sadness and guilt. As The D drops his cards, The Light of Destruction escapes from "centerPlasma" styleand explodes, setting the ship ablaze. The card flies towards Aster and he quickly takes it. He sadly looks at the card and says goodbye to his dad since he will never see him again. The D regaining consciousness, yells at Aster that he is the chosen one (in the dub he swears that he will have his revenge), but Aster knowing what he must do does not care what The D says at all. Aster rushes out to the Deck and is saved via helicopter by [[Chancellor Sheppard]]. ="background=Featured Duel:#800000; colorAster Phoenix vs. The D==<u>'''Turn 1:#FFFF00Aster'''</u><br />[[Aster Phoenix|Aster]] draws "[[Destiny Draw (anime)|Destiny Draw]]" colspan=and subsequently activates it to [[discard]] "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious (anime)|Destiny Hero - Malicious]]" and [[Draw a card|draw two cards]] (one of which is "D - Spirit"). Aster then activates "[[D - Spirit (anime)|D - Spirit]]"4to Special Summon " [[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (later anime)| Episode 98 Destiny Hero - Ultimate Diamond Dude]]" (1400/1600) in Attack Position since he controls no "Destiny Hero" monsters. Aster then activates the effect of "DestinyHero - Diamond Dude" to reveal the top card of his Deck. If that card is a Normal Spell Card, it will be sent to the Graveyard, and Aster can activate its effect on his next turn's Main Phase. Aster reveals "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]", so it is sent to the Graveyard. Aster then activates "[[Over Destiny (anime)|Over Destiny]]" to target the "Destiny Hero -Malicious" in his [[Graveyard]] and Special Summon "[[Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious (anime)|Captain Tenacious]]" (800/800) in Attack Position (as the Level of "Captain Tenacious" is at most 3, which is half the Level of "Destiny HERO - Malicious"). Aster then [[Banish|removes from play]] "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from his [[Graveyard]] via its own effect in order to Special Summon another "Malicious" (800/800) from his [[Deck]] in Attack Position. Aster then Tributes his three [[Destiny HERO|Destiny Heroes]] in order to [[Special Summon]] "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" (3400/2400) in Attack Position. Aster then [[Set]]s a card. He then activates "[[Clock Tower Prison (anime)| colspan=Clock Tower Prison]]". Now, during each of the D's [[Standby Phase]]s, "[[Clock Tower Prison (anime)|Clock Tower Prison]]" will gain a [[Clock Counter]]. If four or more [[Clock Counter]]s are on "Clock Tower Prison", all [[Battle Damage]] to Aster will be reduced to 0. If "Clock Tower Prison"1is destroyed while it has at least four Clock Counters on it, Aster can Special Summon " [[Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (later anime)|Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster]]" from his hand or Deck.{{DynamicNavigationBox|TITLE= <u>'''Turn 2: The D'''<center/u>Production Information<br /center>[[The D]] draws. On the D's [[Standby Phase]], the effect of "Dogma" activates, halving the D's [[Life Points]] (The D 4000 → 2000). At the same time, "Clock Tower Prison" gains a [[Clock Counter]]. The D then activates "[[Claret Note]]" to add up the total number of Levels of each monster Aster controls in order to Special Summon one "[[Plasma Token]]" for each four Levels determined by this effect. Since "Destiny Hero - Dogma" is a Level 8 monster, "Claret Note" [[Special Summon]]s two "Plasma Tokens" (0/0 each) in Attack Position. The D then activates "[[Fiend's Sanctuary (later anime)|Fiend's Sanctuary]]" to Special Summon a "[[Metal Fiend Token (later anime)|Metal Fiend Token]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. The D then Tributes his three tokens in order to Special Summon "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Plasma]]" (1900/600) in Attack Position. The D then activates the effect of "Plasma" to equip itself with Aster's "Destiny HERO - Dogma", increase its ATK by half the ATK of "Dogma", and gain any effects that "Dogma" has ("Plasma": 1900 → 3600). "Plasma" [[Direct attack|attacks]] [[Direct Attack|directly]] (Aster 4000 → 400). The D then activates "[[D - Force (anime)|CONTENT=D-Force]]" and places it [[face-up]] on top of his Deck. While "D - Force" is the top card of the D's Deck, the D cannot conduct his [[normal draw]] during his [[Draw Phase]], but in exchange, "Destiny Hero - Plasma" cannot be affected by the [[effect|effects]] of Aster's [[Spell Card|Spells]] and [[Trap Card|Traps]] and the effects of Aster's face-up [[monsters]] are negated. The D then [[Set]]s a card. <u>'''Turn 3: Aster'''</u><br />Aster draws. On Aster's [[Standby Phase]], the effect "Plasma" gained from "Dogma" activates (Aster 400 → 200). Through the effect of "Diamond Dude", Aster activates the effect of "Pot of Greed" from his [[Graveyard]] to [[Draw a Card|draw two cards]] (one of which is "[[Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (later anime)|Destiny Hero - Doom Lord]]"). Aster then Normal Summons "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" (600/800) in [[Defense Position]]. He then activates the effect of "Doom Lord" to [[Banish|remove]] "Plasma" from play for two turns, but it doesn't work as "Plasma" negates the [[effect|effects]] of Aster's face-up [[Effect Monster]]s while "D - Force" is the D's top card. Originally aired<u>'''Turn 4: Wednesday February 14The D'''</u><br />Due to "D - Force", the D skips his Draw Phase. The D then activates his face-down "[[D - Boost]]" to [[Draw a card|draw two cards]] under his [[face-up]] "[[D - Force (anime)|D-Force]]". On the D's Standby Phase, 2007 "Clock Tower Prison" gains a second Clock Counter. The D then activates "[[Drain Time]]" and declares "[[Standby Phase]]" for its effect. Now Aster and the D must skip the declared Phase on Cartoon Network in their next turn. "Destiny Hero - Plasma" attacks "Doom Lord", but Aster activates his face-down "[[D - Counter (anime)|D - Counter]]" to destroy "Plasma", however it doesn't work as "Plasma" is unaffected by Aster's Spells and Traps while "D - Force" is the USAD's top card. "Plasma" destroys "Doom Lord". The D then [[Set]]s a card.
