"'''"Duel and Unusual Punishment"'''", known as "'''"Sho's Vehicroid Deck"''' " in the Japanese version, is the seventh episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. It first aired in Japan on November 17, 2004 and in the United States on October 19, 2005.
{{Episode summary|[[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Syrus Truesdale]] are punished for their trespassing at the [[Abandoned Dorm]], and a [[Tag-Team Duel]] is set up. If they lose, they'll be expelled, but if they win, they'll get off with no punishment. Jaden and Syrus Duel against one another as practice, and the latter's self-esteem issues interfere with his Dueling.}}
At the [[Slifer Red]] dorm, a group of black clad-troopers arrives, and [[Professor Banner]] identifies them as the school's "Disciplinary Action Squad". They only appear when a student has committed a serious crime. Led by their [[Chairman]], they lead [[Syrus Truesdale]] and [[Jaden Yuki]] to [[Chancellor Sheppard]], who suspends them. They are being punished for visiting the [[Abandoned Dorm]]. At [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]]'s suggestion, Sheppard authorizes a tag team Duel - Jaden and Syrus will Duel two opponents that Crowler himself will choose. If they win, they get off scot-free. If they lose, they are expelled. Upon hearing this, [[Chumley Huffington]] and [[Alexis Rhodes]] both attempt to convince Sheppard to let them Duel instead of Syrus, as they were also at the Dorm - and both believe Syrus to be too weak, but Sheppard's hands are tied, he can't change the Duel's makeup at this point.
Jaden and Syrus agree to have a Duel against one another as practice. When Syrus draws "[[Power Bond (anime)|Power Bond]]", he freezes up and is unable to play it. A flashback is shown. Syrus is Dueling a bully [[Gorisuke]] (unnamed in the English versiondub) in grade school. He has "[[Patroid (anime)|Patroid]]" and "[[Gyroid (anime)|Gyroid]]" on the Field and has just drawn "Power Bond". The bully has "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight (anime)|Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" and a [[Set]] card. Syrus begins to play "Power Bond", believing he can use it to win and finally pay the bully back for all the suffering he's caused. However, [[Zane Truesdale|Syrus' older brother Zane]] stops the Duel and gives the bully a rare card to convince the bully to pretend the Duel never happened. Zane scolds Syrus, telling him he can't use "Power Bond" until he's truly a Duelist. His opponent's Set card was "[[Spellbinding Circle (later anime)|Spellbinding Circle]]", which would have incapacitated the monster Syrus had summoned, and caused him to lose due to the final effect of "Power Bond".
In the present, Syrus still believes he doesn't have the skill to play "Power Bond" and summons "[[Steam Gyroid (anime)|Steam Gyroid]]" using "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" instead. He loses on his next turn, and Jaden is surprised to see he didn't play "Power Bond"as that would have won Syrus the Duel. Syrus runs away, believing he couldn't ever be Jaden's tag team partner, as he'd only drag him down. Alexis explains to Jaden that Syrus' brother is Zane - the best Duelist in the school, and a third-year [[Obelisk Blue]] student. Jaden resolves to Duel Zane in an attempt to help Syrus.

===Gorisuke vs. Syrus Truesdale===
Duel already in progress. Syrus has 1600 [[LP]] and [[control]]s "Steamroid" and "Gyroid", while Gorisuke has 1900 LP and controls "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight (anime)|Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" and a [[Set]] card ("[[Spellbinding Circle (later anime)|Spellbinding Circle]]").
<u>'''Syrus' turn'''</u><br />
Syrus [[Draw a card|draws]] "[[Power Bond (anime)|Power Bond]]" and subsequently tries to [[activate]] it, intending to use it to [[Fusion Material|fuse]] "Gyroid" and "Steamroid" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Steam Gyroid (anime)|Steam Gyroid]]". When "Steam Gyroid" is Fusion Summoned, its original [[ATK]] will be doubled, but Syrus will take [[Effect damage|damage]] equal to the original ATK of "Steam Gyroid" on the during his [[End Phase]].
Before Syrus can activate "Power Bond", Zane stops the Duel and gives the bully a rare card to insure he will not tell anybody about this Duel. He then revealed to Syrus he had stopped the Duel because he knew Syrus was going to lose the Duel due to him trying to use "Power Bond" without knowing what his opponent's Set card was.
