[[Lyman Banner|Professor Banner]] comes to join in and ended up drawing the Level 12 "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]".

The rumor was that the kids were getting caught in [[Shadow Game]]s, Duels played using the [[Millennium Items]]. Syrus had heard of the dorm before, so Jaden decided they should go the following night and check it out. [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] overheard them and decided to use it to his advantage in getting rid of Jaden.

Meanwhile, in the city, a mysterious Duelist had beaten this other weak Duelist and claims to have stolen his soul using a [[Millennium Pendant (Titan's item)|pendant]] resembling the [[Millennium Puzzle]]. He instructs his opponent to leave all his rare cards for him, and he is seen dropping "[[Obnoxious Celtic Guard]]" and "[[Electromagnetic Turtle]]". The mysterious Duelist was a tall man with a mask on and a trench-coat. After winning, he got a call on his cell phone. Someone told him about [[Duel Academy]] and he agreed to come. The following day, Crowler watched Jaden fall asleep in class again and was thinking about how this class would be his last. That night, Crowler met the mysterious Duelist from the city by the lighthouse. He reveals himself as [[Titan]], the Shadow Duelist. Crowler hires him to scare Jaden, so that the latter will exit Duel Academy and cease irking Crowler. In the English version, he states he'll send Jaden to the [[Shadow Realm]], while in the Japanese version, he informs Crowler that he charges three months pay, regardless of the job.

Meanwhile, Jaden, Syrus and Chumley walked to the abandoned dorm where they saw the rose and Alexis. She yelled at them for being there and said they'll be expelled if they're caught. Alexis said that the rumors about the disappearing students were true because one of those students was her brother, which explains the rose. Jaden still wanted to see the dorm though so they went inside, but after leaving Alexis was kidnapped by Titan. As the boys searched the dorm, they found most of the walls were covered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Meanwhile, Alexis woke up and found herself tied up in a coffin. Titan said she was being used as bait for his trap. As she screamed, the boys heard her and ran to find her, seeing her "[[Etoile Cyber]]" card on the ground. They located her in a cave connected to the dorm.

Titan stood in the center and said the only way to free her was to beat him in a Shadow Duel. Jaden said those don't exist, but Titan said that's what the others believed. Jaden believes Titan must be behind the disappearances of the students and was willing to Duel to get Alexis back. Titan warned him, though, that in a Shadow Duel, the loser loses his soul. Titan used the pendant around his neck to create a black fog to surround the room. Jaden noticed his arm was disappearing and Chumley and Syrus were feeling weakened. Titan claims this is all due to the power of his Millennium Item.

"The Shadow Duelist, Part 1", known as "Dark Daemon Deck" in the Japanese version, is the fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh GX anime. It first aired in Japan on November 3, 2004 and in the United States on October 17, 2005.

Jaden Yuki faces off against Titan, a Duelist hired by Dr. Crowler to scare Jaden away from Duel Academy, and one claiming to be able to initiate Shadow Games.

Summary[edit]

As nighttime came, Alexis Rhodes stands in front of an old building where she placed a rose near the front of a statue and says, "Be at peace, wherever you are."

Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale and Chumley Huffington are in their dorm, telling ghost stories using their cards. They would draw a card, the higher the Level, the scarier the story. After drawing the Level 4 "Earthbound Spirit", Syrus tells a story about a swamp monster that lured a boy into its grasps with a "Dark Magician" card. Jaden draws the Level 1 "Sinister Serpent" told them about when he was a kid, he used to hear voices he never recognized coming from his closet, possibly Yubel. Nothing was ever there but his cards. The strange things was, Jaden had been recently hearing the voices again, referring to Winged Kuriboh. Professor Banner comes to join in and ended up drawing the Level 12 "Five-Headed Dragon". He told them about an Abandoned Dorm on the edge of the island that had been shut down when many students went disappearing. The rumor was that the kids were getting caught in Shadow Games, Duels played using the Millennium Items. Syrus had heard of the dorm before, so Jaden decided they should go the following night and check it out. Dr. Crowler overheard them and decided to use it to his advantage in getting rid of Jaden.

Meanwhile, in the city, a mysterious Duelist had beaten this other weak Duelist and claims to have stolen his soul using a pendant resembling the Millennium Puzzle. He instructs his opponent to leave all his rare cards for him, and he is seen dropping "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian" and "Electromagnetic Turtle". The mysterious Duelist was a tall man with a mask on and a trench-coat. After winning, he got a call on his cell phone. Someone told him about Duel Academy and he agreed to come. The following day, Crowler watched Jaden fall asleep in class again and was thinking about how this class would be his last. That night, Crowler met the mysterious Duelist from the city by the lighthouse. He reveals himself as Titan, the Shadow Duelist. Crowler hires him to scare Jaden, so that the latter will exit Duel Academy and cease irking Crowler. In the English version, he states he'll send Jaden to the Shadow Realm, while in the Japanese version, he informs Crowler that he charges three months pay, regardless of the job.

Meanwhile, Jaden, Syrus and Chumley walked to the abandoned dorm where they saw the rose and Alexis. She yelled at them for being there and said they'll be expelled if they're caught. Alexis said that the rumors about the disappearing students were true because one of those students was her brother, which explains the rose. Jaden still wanted to see the dorm, so they went inside. But after leaving, Alexis was kidnapped by Titan. As the boys searched the dorm, they found most of the walls were covered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Meanwhile, Alexis woke up and found herself tied up in a coffin. Titan said she was being used as bait for his trap. As she screamed, the boys heard her and ran to find her, seeing her "Etoile Cyber" card on the ground. They located her in a cave connected to the dorm.

Titan stood in the center and said the only way to free her was to beat him in a Shadow Duel. Jaden said those don't exist, but Titan said that's what the others believed. Jaden believes Titan must be behind the disappearances of the students and was willing to Duel to get Alexis back. Titan warned him, though, that in a Shadow Duel, the loser loses his soul. Titan used the pendant around his neck to create a black fog to surround the room. Jaden noticed his arm was disappearing and Chumley and Syrus were feeling weakened. Titan claims this is all due to the power of his Millennium Item.

Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Titan[edit]

Turn 1: Titan
Titan draws. He then Normal Summons "Infernalqueen Archfiend" (900/1500) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Infernalqueen Archfiend", he can increase the ATK of 1 "Archfiend" monster by 1000 ("Infernalqueen Archfiend": 900 → 1900 ATK). Titan then activates "Pandemonium". Now neither player has to pay LP for the Maintenance Cost of an "Archfiend" monster during the Standby Phase. When an "Archfiend" monster is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, that player can add one "Archfiend" monster with a lower Level than the destroyed monster from his Deck to his hand.

Turn 2: Jaden
Jaden draws "Hero Signal". Jaden's hand contains "Elemental HERO Avian", "Polymerization", "Mirror Force", "Emergency Provisions", and "Mirror Gate". He then Normal Summons "Avian" (1000/1000) in Attack Position and Sets two cards.

Turn 3: Titan
Titan draws. He then Normal Summons "Terrorking Archfiend" (2000/1500) in Attack Position since he controls an "Archfiend" monster. He then activates the effect of "Infernalqueen Archfiend" to increase the ATK of "Terrorking Archfiend" (2000 -> 3000 ATK). "Terrorking Archfiend" then attacks "Avian", but Jaden activates his face-down "Mirror Gate" to switch control of both battling monsters before damage is calculated. However, Titan activates the effect of "Terrorking Archfiend" to roll a die. If the result is a two or five, Jaden's "Mirror Gate" will be negated and destroyed. Titan gets a two, so "Mirror Gate" is negated and destroyed. "Terrorking Archfiend" then destroys "Avian" (Jaden: 4000 → 2000 LP). Jaden then activates his face-down "Hero Signal" to Special Summon "Elemental HERO Clayman" (800/2000) in Defense Position.

Turn 4: Jaden
Jaden draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards. He then activates "Polymerization" to fuse "Clayman" and "Elemental HERO Sparkman" to Fusion Summon "Elemental HERO Thunder Giant" (2400/1500) in Attack Position. Since "Thunder Giant" was Fusion Summoned, Jaden activates its effect to destroy "Terrorking Archfiend", but Titan activates the effect of "Terrorking Archfiend" to roll a die. Titan gets a five, so the effect of "Thunder Giant" is negated and "Thunder Giant" is destroyed.

Duel continues in the next episode.

Errors[edit]

  • Jaden is shown to have a second "Mirror Force" in his hand. However, in the next episode, the second "Mirror Force" is not in his hand anymore, and it's replaced with "Mirage of Nightmare".

Featured cards[edit]

The following cards appeared in this episode. Cards in italics debuted here.
