Primal Instinct, known as Tyranno Kenzan and Jim of the Fossil Dragon in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and tenth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Jaden Yuki's group joins with Jim Crocodile Cook to investigate mysterious energy readings in the forest. They adversely affect Tyranno Hassleberry, and he ends up dueling Jim.

Summary

Axel Brodie is recovering from his Survival Duel with Jaden Yuki. He's eating a large lunch, and wonders aloud why he's so tired. He states that he participated in numerous Survival Duels at West Academy, but he had never felt so drained after having one before. Adrian Gecko is eavesdropping outside Axel's door, and wonders if this is connected to Professor Viper's activities.

Jaden has recovered in the infirmary, and is busy gorging on two lunches - as both Alexis Rhodes and Blair Flannigan made him one when they heard he collapsed. Nurse Fontaine advises him to rest for the day, but he instead finishes eating and rushes from the infirmary, stating he feels wonderful.

Outside, Jaden, Syrus Truesdale and Tyranno Hassleberry meet up with Jesse Anderson, who states he heard that Axel was similiary exhausted from the duel. Hassleberry is suddenly attacked by a crocodile from behind. The South Academy champion, Jim Crocodile Cook, rushes over and orders the crocodile to release him, apologizing. Jim states that the crocodile's name is Shirley and that she usually isn't so riled up - and has only become so since the previous day. He says that powerful electromagnetic waves are resonating from somewhere on the island, and that such waves stir the fighting instincts of reptiles. He pulls out a meter that measures electromagnetic waves and says that Shirley started acting up in the middle of night - the same time that Jaden and Axel had been dueling.

The five of them end up following the meter's readings into the forest, where they begin to get stronger. The waves seem to be affecting Hassleberry strangely as well, and he jumps at Jim in a rage. He's restrained by Jaden and Jesse. Syrus speculates that it may be because of the "dinosaur DNA" that Hassleberry has. Jim challenges Hassleberry to a duel, which the latter seems to accept. Jim believes that if he and Hasseleberry experience the same exhaustion that Axel and Jaden did, then it would provide more evidence that the waves are to blame for it. After Jim inflicts damage with "Flint Cragger", Hassleberry appears to return to normal.

Jim ultimately wins the duel, but both of them collapse afterwards. Professor Viper's alarm system suddenly starts blaring, and his security cameras show that Adrian Gecko is attempting to gain access to the lab. He states that if Adrian is suspicious of him, he's going to have to be eliminated.
