"A Fateful Choice" is the forty fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime. It first aired in Japan on February 12, 2023.
In order to show the Dudi Fleet's commander, Dudi Nishaw, that Rush Duels can end the war in the Velgear Cluster, Yudias challenges him to a Duel! However, as Nishaw starts fretting over what he should do, as strange space is generated in the vicinity...
Featured Duel: Yudias Velgear vs Dudi Nishaw
The Duel is conducted as a Rush Duel.
Turn 1: Yudias
Yudias's hand contains "Crack Neutron", "Interstellime", "Heaven Gancel", "Galactiara Eve" and "Galactica Oblivion". Yudias Normal Summons "Galactiara Eve" (0/0). As Yudias has no other monsters on his field, he activates the effect of "Galactiara Eve", sending a Galaxy Type monster with 1600 or more ATK from his to the Graveyard to send it from his field to the Graveyard and draw a card, then if he has three or less monsters in his Graveyard, he draws an additional card. Yudias sends "Heaven Gancel" from his hand to the Graveyard and sends "Galactiara Eve" from his field to the Graveyard and draws "Satellite Pegasus", then draws "Vacua Annihilation". Yudias Normal Summons "Interstellime" (1000/0), "Crack Neutron" (0/1500) and "Satellite Pegasus" (1300/100). As "Satellite Pegasus" was Normal Summoned this turn, Yudias activates its effect to send the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard, then if he has one or less monsters in his Graveyard, he can destroy a face-up Level 8 or lower monster on Nishaw's field. Yudias sends "Meteorhino" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Yudias Tributes "Interstellime" and "Crack Neutron" to Tribute Summon "Oblivion" (2500/2500). Yudias Sets "Vacua Annihilation" in his Spell & Trap Zone.
Turn 2: Nishaw
Nishaw's hand contains "Arcanaika Force Dotchtkers", "Lost Bridge", "Heroic Beast Fudan", "Phantom Beast Chimerarenai" and "Super Nether Emperor Dragon Jugemjugem". Nishaw Normal Summons "Chimerarenai" (1300/1300) and "Fudan" (1000/1000). Nishaw Tributes "Chimerarenai" and "Fudan" to Tribute Summon "Jugemjugem" (2200/2200). Nishaw activates the effect of "Jugemjugem", sending the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard to decrease the ATK and DEF of a face-up monster on Yudias's field by 500 until the end of this turn, then increase the ATK and DEF of "Jugemjugem" by 500 until the end of this turn, but this turn it cannot attack the monster chosen this way. Nishaw sends "Fudan" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard and chooses "Satellite Pegasus" ("Satellite Pegasus": 1300/100 → 800/0; "Jugemjugem": 2200/2200 → 2700/2700). Nishaw Sets "Lost Bridge" in his Spell & Trap Zone. As Nishaw ends his turn, the ATK and DEF of "Satellite Pegasus" and "Jugemjugem" return to normal ("Satellite Pegasus": 800/0 → 1300/100; "Jugemjugem": 2700/2700 → 2200/2200).
Turn 3: Yudias
Yudias draws "Orbit Skater", "Asteroeva", "Galactica Extravagant", "Galactica Deja Vu" and "Silver Seyfert". Yudias Tributes "Satellite Pegasus" to Tribute Summon "Silver Seyfert" (2000/800). Yudias Normal Summons "Deja Vu" (0/1200). As Nishaw's LP are 4000 or higher, Yudias activates the effect of "Deja Vu", sending "Deja Vu" from his field to the Graveyard to send the top card of his Deck to the Graveyard, then if he sent a Level 4 or lower LIGHT Attribute Galaxy Type Normal Monster to the Graveyard this way, he can Special Summon it face-up to his field, then inflict damage to Nishaw equal to its original ATK. Yudias sends "Deja Vu" from his field to the Graveyard and sends "Transamu Rainac" from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard, then Special Summons "Rainac" (1600/0) from his Graveyard in Attack Position (Nishaw: 4000 → 2400 LP). As Yudias Normal or Special Summoned a monster face-up, Nishaw activates his face-down Trap Card "Lost Bridge" to increase the ATK of a face-up monster on his field whose ATK equals its own DEF by the Level of a face-up monster on Yudias's field x 100 until the end of this turn, then inflict damage to him equal to the difference between those monsters' ATK. Nishaw chooses "Jugemjugem" and "Rainac" ("Jugemjugem": 2200/2200 → 2600/2200; Yudias: 4000 → 3000 LP). Yudias activates the Spell Card "Galactica Extravagant", shuffling four Galaxy Type Normal Monsters from his Graveyard into the Deck to increase the ATK of a face-up Galaxy Type Normal Monster on his field by 1000 until the end of this turn, then if his LP are 1000 or lower, that monster gains ATK equal to its original ATK until the end of this turn, but this turn he can only attack with one monster. Yudias shuffles "Heaven Gancel", "Interstellime", "Crack Neutron" and "Meteorhino" from his Graveyard into the Deck and chooses "Oblivion" ("Oblivion": 2500/2500 → 3500/2500). "Oblivion" attacks and destroys "Jugemjugem" (Nishaw: 2400 → 1500 LP). As Yudias ends his turn, the ATK of "Oblivion" returns to normal ("Oblivion": 3500/2500 → 2500/2500).
Turn 4: Nishaw
Nishaw draws "Tribute to The Doomed", two copies of "Fudan" and "Chimerarenai". Nishaw Normal Summons "Chimerarenai" (1300/1300) and "Fudan" (1000/1000). Nishaw Tributes "Chimerarenai" and "Fudan" to Tribute Summon "Dotchtkers" (2100/2100). Nishaw activates the effect of "Dotchtkers", sending a monster whose ATK equals its own DEF from his hand to the Graveyard to toss a coin, and if the result is heads, it gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn, then he destroys all face-up Level 8 or lower monsters on Yudias's field, but if the result is tails, Nishaw takes 1000 damage, then he destroys all monsters on his field. Nishaw sends "Fudan" from his hand to the Graveyard and the result is heads ("Dotchtkers": 2100/2100 → 3100/2100), then he destroys "Silver Seyfert", "Oblivion" and "Rainac". "Dotchtkers" attacks Yudias directly (Yudias: 3000 → 0 LP).

Errors
- During Turn 4, Nishaw plays two copies of "Heroic Beast Fudan" from his hand, despite having already played two copies during Turn 2 (the first was played from his hand and the second was sent from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Super Nether Emperor Dragon Jugemjugem"). This means he had four copies of the same card in his Deck, which would be illegal.
