Jaden Yuki's rematch with Zane Truesdale continues, with them both unveiling counter after counter before the ultimate end of the Duel.
Contents
Summary
Zane Truesdale expresses his disappointment that his last Duel at Duel Academy had to end this way, and attacks Jaden Yuki's "Elemental Hero Wildedge" with his "Power Bond"-enhanced "Cyber End Dragon". Jaden activates his face-down "Soul Union", which adds the attack of the "Elemental Hero Bladedge" in his Graveyard to that of "Wildedge". Zane comments that that still isn't enough - Jaden's Life Points will still go from 1900 to zero with this attack. Jaden is flustered, as he has been using his head in this match, yet is still losing. The attack hits, and his Life Points go down to 100. He reveals that the chained his face-down "Emergency Provisions" at the last moment, sending "Soul Union" to the Graveyard to gain 1000 Life Points before the attack hit. He then activates his face-down "Hero Signal" to Special Summon" "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" from his Deck in Defense Position, drawing two cards via its effect. Zane Summons "Cyber Kirin" and immediately Tributes it using its effect. This negates any effect damage he would take during this turn, thus preventing the game-ending damage he'd have taken from "Power Bond".
Zane again reminds Jaden that using his head isn't something that comes naturally to him. Jaden realizes that in doing so, he's exhausted himself. He calls for Ms. Dorothy and asks her to bring him a snack. Zane allows him to take a break, and Dorothy brings out a rice cooker and prepares Jaden a snack, assisted by Sadie. After eating, the Duel continues, with Jaden playing "Pot of Greed" to draw two more cards. He then Summons "Elemental Hero Avian" in Defense Position, before playing "Spy Hero", which allows him to randomly discard two cards from his Deck in order to take a random Spell Card from Zane's Graveyard. It ends up being "Future Fusion", which Jaden immediately plays to fuse the "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" and "Elemental Hero Clayman" in his Deck to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster". The monster Summoned via "Future Fusion" cannot attack in the turn it is Summoned, so Jaden Sets two cards to end his turn. Zane Summons "Cyber Phoenix", whose effect allows him to negate a card effect that would target a single Machine-type monster on the field as long it remains in Attack Position. Zane attacks with "Cyber End Dragon", but Jaden activates his face-down "De-Fusion". Zane reiterates that "Cyber Phoenix" will negate an effect that targets "Cyber End Dragon", but Jaden splits his own "Rampart Blaster" into "Burstinatrix" and "Clayman" instead. A replay would then occur, but Jaden activates his face-down "Elemental Burst", Tributing the "EARTH"-attribute "Clayman", WIND-attribute "Avian", FIRE-attribute "Burstinatrix" and WATER-attribute "Bubbleman" to destroy all cards Zane controls. As this effect is not targeting a specific monster, "Cyber Phoenix" is unable to negate it, so both of Zane's monsters are destroyed, though the second effect of "Cyber Phoenix" lets him draw a card.
Zane activates "Time Fusion", which requires him to remove a card in his hand from play in order to Special Summon a Fusion Monster from his Graveyard during his next Standby Phase, while Ignoring the Summoning conditions. Jaden simply Sets a card, and Zane begins his next turn. He reveals that the card he removed from play was "Card from a Different Dimension", which returns to his hand and lets both players draw two cards. "Cyber End Dragon" is then Special Summoned via "Time Fusion". However, the monster Summoned with "Time Fusion" cannot attack during the turn in which it was Summoned, so Zane Sets a card to end his turn. Jaden plays "Fusion Recovery", adding "Burstinatrix" and "Polymerization" from his Graveyard to his hand. He Summons the former, and then plays "Miracle Fusion" to remove it and the "Avian" in his Graveyard from play and Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman". He then uses "Polymerization" to fuse that with the "Elemental Hero Sparkman" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman", whose attack increases to 4900 due to the seven "Elemental Heroes" in Jaden's Graveyard. He attacks and destroys "Cyber End Dragon", reducing Zane to 1100 Life Points. "Shining Flare Wingman's" effect would then activate to inflict damage equal to his destroyed monster's attack points to Zane, but he plays his face-down "Damage Polarizer", negating the damage and letting both players a draw a card. Both draw the same one - "Battle Fusion". Jaden Sets his copy, and ends his turn.
Zane activates "Power Bond", and declares he'll Summon "Cyber End Dragon" once more, despite not having any copies of "Cyber Dragon" to use as Fusion Material Monsters. He activates the Quick-Play Spell Card "Cybernetic Fusion Support", which lets him pay half of his Life Points to remove Machine-type Fusion Material Monsters in his Graveyard from play to perform a Fusion Summon. "Cyber End Dragon" is Summoned, with its attack doubled via "Power Bond". Zane then activates "Limiter Removal", doubling its attack points again. He attacks "Shining Flare Wingman", but Jaden activates his face-down "Battle Fusion", increasing the attack of "Shining Flare Wingman" by that of "Cyber End Dragon", for a total of 20,900. Zane chains his own "Battle Fusion", increasing "Cyber End Dragon's" attack by that of "Shining Flare Wingman", for a total of 36,900. Zane and Jaden both compliment each other, and Jaden activates "Final Fusion", which deals damage equal to the attack of the monsters currently engaged in battle to the Life Points of both players, meaning they both take 57,800 points of effect damage, thus ending the Duel in a Draw. The gathered crowd all rise and begin to applaud.
Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Zane Truesdale
 | This Duel uses Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime gameplay. Rules and card effects may differ from that of the TCG/OCG. See the individual card articles for more information. |
Turn 7: Zane
Turn continues from the previous episode.
Zane has just managed to summon "Cyber End Dragon" via "Power Bond" and because Zane used "Power Bond" to summon "Cyber End Dragon", the latter's ATK is doubled. "Cyber End Dragon" attack Jaden's "Elemental Hero Wildedge", but Jaden activates his face-down cards, "Soul Union" and "Emergency Provisions", with their effects activating in reverse order. "Emergency Provisions" resolves first, sending "Soul Union" to the Graveyard and increasing Jaden's Life Points by 1000 (Jaden: 1900 → 2900). "Soul Union's" effect then resolves (since it was sent to the Graveyard without being negated), increasing the ATK of "Wildedge" by the ATK of the "Elemental Hero Bladedge" in Jaden's Graveyard ("Wildedge": 2600 → 5200/2300). "Cyber End Dragon" destroys "Wildedge" (Jaden 2900 → 100). Jaden activates his last face-down card, "Hero Signal", Special Summoning "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" (800/1200) from his Deck in Defense Position. Since "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" was summoned while Jaden had no other cards on his side of the field, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to draw 2 cards. Zane Summons "Cyber Kirin" (300/800) in Attack Position. He then Tributes "Cyber Kirin" in order to prevent himself from taking any effect damage this turn.
Turn 8: Jaden
Jaden activates "Pot of Greed", drawing 2 cards. Jaden then Normal Summons "Elemental Hero Avian" (1000/1000) in Defense Position. He then activates "Spy Hero", sending 2 random cards from his Deck to the Graveyard and adding 1 Spell Card from Zane's Graveyard to his hand. Jaden chooses to add Zane's "Future Fusion" to his hand. Jaden then activates "Future Fusion", sending Elemental Heroes "Burstinatrix" and "Clayman" from his Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster" (2000/2500) in Defense Position and equip it with "Future Fusion". Due to "Future Fusion", "Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster" cannot attack in the same turn it is Fusion Summoned. Jaden Sets 2 cards.
Turn 9: Zane
Jaden draws "Cyber Phoenix" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/1600) in Attack Position. While "Cyber Phoenix" is in Attack Position, it can negate the effects of Spells and Traps that specifically target 1 Machine-Type monster that Zane controls. Zane then uses "Cyber End Dragon" to attack "Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster" with the intention of having "Cyber End Dragon" inflict piercing damage to Jaden, but Jaden activates "De-Fusion", sending "Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster" to the Graveyard and Special Summoning Elemental Heroes "Burstinatrix" (1200/800) and "Clayman" (800/2000) from the Graveyard in Attack Position. Before a replay can occur, Jaden activates "Elemental Burst", Tributing all 4 of his monsters ("Elemental Hero Clayman" of EARTH, "Elemental Hero Avian" of WIND, "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" of FIRE, and "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" of WATER) to destroy all cards that Zane controls. As "Cyber Phoenix" was destroyed, its last effect activates, allowing Zane to draw a card ("Time Fusion"). Zane then activates "Time Fusion", removing from play 1 card in his hand and Special Summoning a Fusion Monster from his Graveyard on his next Standby Phase, ignoring the Summoning conditions, but that Fusion Monster will be unable to attack that turn.
Turn 10: Jaden
Jaden draws a card and subsequently sets it. He then ends his turn.
Turn 11: Zane
Since "Card from a Different Dimension" was removed from play on Zane's last turn (due to him using it for the cost of "Time Fusion"), its effect activates, returning it to Zane's hand during the Standby Phase. After that resolves, the second effect of "Card from a Different Dimension" activates, allowing Zane and Jaden to draw 2 cards(Zane draws "Cybernetic Fusion Support" and "Limiter Removal" while Jaden draws "Miracle Fusion" and "Fusion Recovery"(which is incorrectly shown as "De-Fusion", see Errors below for more info)). At the same time, the effect of "Time Fusion" activates, Special Summoning "Cyber End Dragon" (4000/2800) from the Graveyard in Attack Position, but it cannot attack this turn. Zane Sets 1 card.
Turn 12: Jaden
Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Sparkman". He then activates "Fusion Recovery", adding "Polymerization" and "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" from his Graveyard to his hand. He then Summons "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" (1200/800) in Attack Position. Next Jaden activates "Miracle Fusion", removing from play "Burstinatrix" and "Elemental Hero Avian" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. Jaden then activates "Polymerization", fusing "Flame Wingman" with "Sparkman" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" (2500/2100) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Shining Flare Wingman", it gains 300 ATK for every "Elemental Hero" in Jaden's Graveyard. There are 8, so "Shining Flare Wingman" gains 2400 ATK ("Shining Flare Wingman": 2500 → 4900/2100). "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" attacks and destroys "Cyber End Dragon" (Zane 2000 → 1100). Since "Shining Flare Wingman" destroyed a monster in battle and sent it to the Graveyard, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Zane equal to the original ATK of "Cyber End Dragon", but Zane activates "Damage Polarizer", negating the effect of "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman". After "Damage Polarizer" resolves successfully, its second effect activates, allowing Jaden and Zane to draw 1 card (They both draw "Battle Fusion"). Jaden Sets 1 card.
Turn 13: Zane
Zane draws "Power Bond". Zane then activates "Power Bond" which will allow him to Fusion Summon a Machine-type Fusion Monster by sending the appropriate Fusion Material Monsters to the Graveyard. As Zane is about to Fusion Summon a Machine-type Fusion Monster, he activates "Cybernetic Fusion Support", paying half his Life Points (Zane 1100 → 550) to remove from play his 3 "Cyber Dragons" from his Graveyard and use "Cybernetic Fusion Support" as the substitute for the Fusion Material Monsters used for the Fusion Summon done by "Power Bond". "Power Bond" then Fusion Summons "Cyber End Dragon" in Attack Position with its ATK doubled (4000 → 8000/2800). During Zane's End Phase, "Power Bond" will inflict damage to Zane equal to the original ATK of "Cyber End Dragon". "Cyber End Dragon" attacks Jaden's "Shining Flare Wingman". Zane then activates "Limiter Removal" to double "Cyber End Dragon's" ATK again ("Cyber End Dragon": 8000 → 16000/2800), but "Cyber End Dragon" will be destroyed on the End Phase. Jaden activates his face-down card, "Battle Fusion", allowing "Shining Flare Wingman" to gain ATK equal to the ATK of "Cyber End Dragon" ("Shining Flare Wingman": 4900 → 20900/2100). Zane activates his own "Battle Fusion" from his hand, allowing "Cyber End Dragon" to gain ATK equal to the ATK of "Shining Flare Wingman" ("Cyber End Dragon": 16000 → 36900/2800). Jaden activates his last face-down card, "Final Fusion" which inflicts Damage to both players equal to the combined ATK of their battling monsters (Jaden 100 → 0, Zane 550 → 0).
The Duel ends in a Draw.
Errors
After "Card from a Different Dimension" resolves, it is revealed that Jaden draws "Miracle Fusion" and "De-Fusion". However, in the next turn (where he uses all the cards in his hand) "Fusion Recovery", not "De-Fusion" is activated.
Differences in adaptations
In the Japanese version, Judai and Kaiser make references to the latter being "perfect". Just before the Duel ends, Kaiser tells Judai that he will one day surpass him. While Kaiser has reached his limit of "perfection", he states that Judai has "infinite potential".
Trivia
- For almost 8 years, "Cyber End Dragon" held the record for highest acheived finite ATK in the series in this episode. This record was broken with the airing of episode 98 of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, where "Number C39: Utopia Ray V" and "Number 104: Masquerade Magician - Shining" acheived 83200 and 41700 ATK respectively, both topping Cyber End's record of 36900 ATK it managed in this episode.
