The Last Hope! Yuki Judai is the one hundred and seventy-eighth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Jaden Yuki continues his confrontation with Nightshroud, as the latter finds a way to counter Jaden's "Neos Wiseman". Those trapped in the World of Darkness begin to gain their memories and emotions back as Jaden attempts to find a way to prevail.

Summary

"Neos Wiseman" appeared to have turned the duel between Jaden Yuki and Nightshroud in Jaden's favor. However, Nightshroud revives his "Darkness Eye", thus letting him to confirm his Set Spell and Trap Cards once more. He uses "Zero" and "Infinity" to activate "Darkness 1", but Jaden reveals that "Neos Wiseman" is immune to destruction by card effects. Nightshroud states that the will of a single human cannot change the logic of the world, and Jaden has no chance of defeating him. He Summons the "Darkness Seed" in his Graveyard which has the ability to return his Life Points to 4000 during at the end of each turn and cannot be destroyed in battle. Nightshroud states that his "true idenity" is "the future of humans". He states that the abnormal weather, endless wars and terrorism make it inevitable the the world will become desolate wasteland.

Nightshroud Tributes "Darkness Seed" to Summon "Darkness Bramble", which has the effect of both "Darkness Seed" and "Darkness Eye". Able to confirm his Set cards again, he activates "Zero", "Infinity" and "Darkness 3" to inflict 3000 damage to Jaden. As Jaden begins his turn, Nightshroud activates the combo again, which would deal 2000 damage and defeat Jaden, but Jaden but he chains "Quick Summon" to Summon "Chrysalis Pantail", Tributing it with "Cocoon Veil" to negate the damage and Summon "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther". Jaden attacks with "Neos Wiseman, but Nightshroud discards "Darkness Raincrow" and Tributes "Darkness Bramble" to Special Summon the 4000 attack point "Darkness Neosphere", which also retains the effects of "Darkness Bramble" and lets him rearrange his Set cards in any order he chooses. Jaden counters by copying "Darkness Neosphere" with "Dark Panther", rearraning Nightshrouds Traps again and re-setting "Darkness". Should Nightshroud choose to activate "Darkness" again, it's effect will destroy all of his Spells and Traps.

NIghtshroud destroys "Neos Wiseman" with "Darkness Neosphere". Yubel urges Jaden to to use Neos Wiseman's" effect to remove her card from play to Special Summon "Elemental Hero Neos". Nightshroud reiterates that it's hopeless and Jaden should surrender - he is alone, and no one else can fight. Jaden tells him he's wrong, stating that he's not the strong one. His soul was once drowned in darkness, and he hurt many of his friends - but that taught him something - to believe in the power of friendship and the strength of one's cards. Monsters from his Deck appears in the background during his speech and Jaden calls out to his friends trapped in the World of Darkness, telling them to fight back by believing in the power of one card and to remember the people they have fought using it. Jaden himself remembers the opponents he fought with "Neos" at his side. His voice reaches them, and the scenes where each of them is engulfed by the waves of darkness is replayed, but this time, they hold up a single card - "Ojama Yellow" for Chazz Princeton, "Power Bond" for Syrus Truesdale" and "Doble Passé" for Alexis Rhodes. They each accept their futures and know they can struggle their way back up again.

This allows them to escape from the World of Darkness, and all of the people trapped do the same. Duel Academy's students are back, and they all appear behind him, and watch the remainder of the duel. Jaden draws "Polymerization", and thanks his Deck. He activates his face-down "Future Vision", which lets him discard "Polymerization" to fuse "Elemental Hero Neos with all six Neo-Spacians, sending them back to the Deck to preform the "Ultimate Contact Fusion", resulting in "Elemental Hero Divine Neos". He uses it's effect, removing the Neo-Spacians from play to gain attack points, and having it inherit the power of "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab", to increase it's attack further. He attacks, and wipes out Nightshroud's Life Points. His hood is blown over in the strike, and his true face is revealed - that of a skeletal goat-like creature. He states that even with his defeat, he will return as long as darkness exists in the souls of humans. Jaden counters by saying that as long as duelists in their futures, that time will not come (keep in mind that in the Japanese version of previous seasons, Nightshroud's name was "Darkness").
