Summary
 | This summary is currently incomplete. |
A strange, yellow ball of light was floating around Duel Academy. Apparently, it was Duel Monster Spirit Day, the day where students appreciate the Duel Spirits and dress up as their favorite monster. The yellow light was the spirit of the "Dark Magician Girl". She wanted to stop by the Academy and make Spirit Day a day the students will never forget.
Meanwhile, all around the school, students were celebrating spirit day. Chumley and Syrus worked together to create a Duel arena outside of the Slifer Red dorm, for Syrus’ costume Duel. The remaining holders of the Spirit Keys meet outside the dorm to discuss what Atticus had said in regards to Professor Banner - he had been the one to instruct the students to go to the Abandoned Dorm. Banner had since disappeared, so they believe he is working for the Shadow Riders. Chazz comes up with the idea of using Banner's cat Pharaoh to find Banner, but is unable to locate him either. Having no other options, they agree to just attempt to enjoy Duel Monsters Spirit Day. Syrus attempts to find someone to dress up as "Dark Magician Girl" for the costume Duel. Jaden is unable to decide on a costume, and instead combines pieces of several. He ultimately ends up a combination of Saggi the Dark Clown", "Breaker the Magical Warrior", "Obnoxious Celtic Guard" and "Gearfried the Iron Knight" costumes. Chazz dresses as "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine go as "Harpie Lady Sisters" and Bastion dresses as "Amazoness Tiger". Ms. Dorothy dresses as "Dark Magician Girl", much to everyone's horror.
They are approached by someone who appears to have a perfect "Dark Magician Girl" costume, and she agrees to Duel Jaden. After the Duel, everyone was curious as to who exactly was the Dark Magician Girl. Syrus figured it out that she was the spirit of Dark Magician Girl and hoped to see her again someday. That night, her spirit returned and gave Syrus a kiss before departing.
Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Dark Magician Girl
Turn 1: Dark Magician Girl Dark Magician Girl draws "Dark Magician Girl". She then Sets a monster.
Turn 2: Jaden Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" and subsequently Normal Summons it (800/1200) in Attack Position. Since Jaden controls no other cards besides "Bubbleman" when it was summoned, its effect activates, letting him draw two cards.[Notes 1] Jaden then activates "Polymerization" to fuse "Bubbleman" with "Burstinatrix" in order to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Steam Healer" (1800/1000) in Attack Position. "Steam Healer" attacks and destroys Dark Magician Girl's face-down monster. It is revealed to be "Fire Sorcerer" (1000/1500). Since "Fire Sorcerer" was flipped face-up, its effect activates, allowing Dark Magician Girl to remove from play 2 random cards ("Dark Magician Girl" and "Magician's Valkyria") in her hand and inflict 800 damage to Jaden (Jaden 4000 → 3200). Since "Steam Healer" destroyed a monster by battle and sent it to the Graveyard, its effect activates, increasing Jaden's Life Points by the ATK of the monster "Steam Healer" destroyed and sent to the Graveyard (Jaden 3200 → 4200).
Turn 3: Dark Magician Girl Dark Magician Girl draws. She then Normal Summons "Magician's Valkyria" (1600/1800) in Attack Position. While this card is face-up, Jaden can't select any Spellcaster-type monster besides "Magician's Valkyria" as an attack target. Dark Magician Girl then activates "Dimension Fusion" to pay 2000 Life Points (Dark Magician Girl 4000 → 2000) and allow both players to Special Summon as many removed from play monsters as possible. Dark Magician Girl" summons "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) and her second "Magician's Valkyria" (1600/1800) in Attack Position while Jaden doesn't summon anything as he has no removed from play monsters. Since Dark Magician Girl now has two "Magician's Valkyria", an attack lock has been formed. "Dark Magician Girl" attacks and destroys "Steam Healer" (Jaden 4200 → 4000). The 2 "Magician's Valkyria" attack Jaden directly (Jaden 4000 → 2400 → 800).
Turn 4: Jaden Jaden draws. He then activates "Fusion Recovery" to add "Burstinatrix" and "Polymerization" from his Graveyard to his hand. Jaden then activates "Polymerization" to fuse "Burstinatrix" with "Avian" in order to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. Jaden then Sets 2 cards.
Turn 5: Dark Magician Girl Dark Magician Girl draws "Magic Formula" and subsequently activates it, equipping it to "Dark Magician Girl" and increasing its ATK by 700 ("Dark Magician Girl": 2000 → 2700/1700). "Dark Magician Girl" attacks "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman", but Jaden activates "Staunch Defender" and "Hero Barrier", with their effects resolving in reverse order. First "Hero Barrier" negates "Dark Magician Girl's" attack. Next, "Staunch Defender" forces the 2 "Magician's Valkyria" to attack "Flame Wingman". "Flame Wingman" destroys both "Magician's Valkyria" (Dark Magician Girl 2000 → 1500 → 1000). Since "Flame Wingman" destroyed monsters by battle and sent them to the Graveyard, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Dark Magician Girl equal to the ATK of her destroyed monsters (Dark Magician Girl 1000 → 0 → 0).
Jaden wins.
