Episode Summary
Gerard downloaded the information he needed from the library computer. All of the profiles on the missing students showed that they had transferred to a different school, but there was no return address. This means that Duel Academy has actually been trying to cover up the situation. He copied the information to a disk and planned to release it to a tabloid to ruin the reputation of the Academy. Meanwhile, Jaden and Bastion continued their duel, even though Bastion stopped Jaden from using Polymerization.
Jaden (2800 LP): summoned Avian (1000/1000) in defense mode and switched Sparkman (1600/1400) to defense
Bastion (1600 LP): summoned Mathematician (1500), which forced him to put a card from his hand into his graveyard, and then used him and Water Dragon (2800) to destroy Avian and Sparkman.
Gerard was walking from the library. As he passed the stadium, he decided to check out the duel. Jaden explained that he’s different from Bastion because he likes to make his strategies at home, while Jaden plays with his gut and makes his moves on the field.
Jaden: summoned Bubbleman (800), which let him draw two cards since it was the only monster on the field, and equipped him with Bubble Blaster, which gave Bubbleman 800 extra attack points (1600). He attacked Mathematician, which when destroyed, allowed Bastion to move a card from his deck into his hand, and then Jaden ended his turn by placing two cards face down and activating the magic card, Mirage of Nightmare.
Bastion (1500 LP): as he started his turn, Mirage’s effect activated allowing Jaden to draw cards until he had four in hand. He also played his face down, Emergency Provisions, which gave him 1000 life points after discarding Mirage (3800 LP). Bastion played Pot of Greed, to draw two cards, and now that 10 cards were on top of Carbongeddon in the graveyard, his special ability activated, letting him summon Hyuzonryu, The Diamond Dragon (2100). Diamond Dragon destroyed Bubble Blaster and then Water Dragon destroyed Bubbleman. Afterwards, Jaden played his trap, Hero Signal, allowing him to replace Bubbleman with Clayman (800/2000).
Jaden (1800 LP): played the magic card, Warrior Returning Alive, allowing him to bring a monster from the graveyard to his hand. He chose Bubbleman, which he summoned to the field and used the magic card, Bubble Shuffle. This switched Bubbleman and Water Dragon to defense mode (2600) and allowed Jaden to sacrifice Bubbleman to summon Bladedge (2600). Jaden also used the field spell, Skyscraper, which gave his monsters 1000 extra attack points when they attack a monster weaker then them. This let Bladedge destroy Water Dragon and Bladedge also does damage when a monster is destroyed in defense. With Water Dragon destroyed, Bastion summoned Oxyegeddon (1800/1400) and two Hydrogeddon’s (1600/1000) to the field in defense. He also played the trap card, Last Magnet, which is equipped to the last attacking monster, Bladedge, and decreases their attack points by 800 (1800). Jaden ended his turn by using Clayman to destroy Oxyegeddon.
Bastion: played the magic card, Litmus Doom Ritual, which let him sacrifice the two Hydrogeddon’s to summon Litmus Doom Swordsman (0/0), who gets 3000 attack and defense points when there is a trap card on the field, like Last Magnet. Swordsman destroyed Bladedge and used Diamond Dragon to destroy Clayman. He also used the magic card, Wing Beat of Giant Dragon, allowing him to return Diamond Dragon to his hand and destroy Skyscraper in the process. He ended his turn with one card face down.
Jaden (1300 LP): summoned Elemental Hero Wildheart (1500/1200). After summoning him, Bastion played the trap card, Spirit Barrier, which reduces all damage to 0 and gives Litmus Doom Swordsman 3000 attack points. Jaden equipped Wildheart with Cyclone Boomerang, which gave him 500 extra points (2000). He attacked Swordsman, which destroyed Boomerang and Wildheart. This activated its effect, when both Boomerang and Wildheart are destroyed all magic and trap cards are destroyed and then Bastion takes 500 damage. Spirit Barrier was ruined and Bastion had the rest of his life points taken out, winning Jaden the duel.
After being declared the winner, Jaden and Bastion promised to have another duel soon. Alexis watched as Gerard was leaving and stopped him in the hallway. Gerard talked about how he hates his profession and that he wants to go back to dueling, after watching Jaden duel. He also decided not to reveal the info about the Academy and promised that they will find her brother. Now, Jaden will be representing Duel Academy at the upcoming school duel against North Academy.
Burstinatrix destroys Oxygeddon. When Oxygeddon is destroyed by a Pyro-Type or Fire monster, 800 points of damage is inflicted to both players (Note: In the real game, Burstinatrix is a Warrior-type monster) (Jaden 3200) (Bastion 3200)
(In the real game, Jaden would have lost at this point. Skyscraper's effect only works when Elemental Heroes attack, not when they are being attacked.)
Since Cyclone Boomerang was destroyed while equipped to Wildheart, all Spell and Trap cards on the field are destroyed and for each one, Bastion loses 500 LP (Bastion 0)
