In the end, only a one-on-one battle between "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" and "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" can determine the outcome of their [[Duel]].}}

{{incomplete}}The fate of the [[Slifer Red]] dorm hangs in the balance as the duel Duel between [[Aster Phoenix]] and [[Jaden Yuki]] continues. Jaden notes to himself, he still has a lot to learn about his new Deck as "[[Elemental Hero Aqua Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Aqua Neos]]" went back to his Fusion Deck on the End Phase without his knowledge. Aster notes to himself that he only has the cards that his father made for him. Now that he's gone, he now must defeat anyone that gets in his way, but he is confident that he can defeat Jaden again. The two Duelists continually counter the moves of the other, revealing more and more of their new Decks. Aster soon gets out "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]". Jaden saves himself from an attack that would end the Duel, but now both players are down to a few amount of Life Points. Jaden is still confident he can continue, but Aster doesn't believe so, claiming there is no monster in Jaden's Deck that can help him. Jaden states that may have been the case with his old Deck, but it won't be with his new one. He decides to prove so by showing Aster a brand new hero in his Deck. Jaden then plays "[[Neo Space (anime)|Neo Space]]", which lets his "[[Neos]]" [[Fusion MonstersMonster]] s remain on the [[Playing Field|Fieldfield]] past the [[End Phase]]. Jaden , and Summons "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" and . Jaden attacks, but Aster Summons quickly plays "[[Destiny Hero D - Shield (anime)|D - Shield]]" to save himself. Aster then proceeds to switch his "Dogma" into Attack Position and equip it with "[[Heavy Storm Blade]]". UltimatelyAster attacks which surprises everyone, however doing so activates the effect of "Heavy Storm Blade", destroying every Spell and Trap on the field besides "Heavy Storm Blade". This weakens "Flare Neos" and "Dogma" then attacks it. However the attack doesn't go through and soon enough "Heavy Storm Blade" begins to crack (which shocks Aster). Jaden reveals that the set card Aster destroyed with "Heavy Storm Blade" was "[[Spell Calling (anime)|Spell Calling]]" which allowed Jaden to set two face-down cards after it was destroyed. As such the attack backfires on Aster, destroying "Dogma" and winning Jaden wins the duelDuel.

Aster at this point realizes that Jaden is the person that can defy destiny mentioned by Sartorius. At the same time, Sartorius flips over a card and sees it as the Wheel of Fortune upside-down (which means that an unexpected event will occur). Due to Jaden's victory, the Slifer Red Dorm remains safe. Aster congratulates Jaden for his victory and Jaden states he won't count their first duel as official to make things even for both of them, but Aster doesn't mind and leaves. Aster then tells Crowler and Bonaparte that he will be attending Duel Academy starting from now. ==Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Aster Phoenix==

The effect of "Heavy Storm Blade" then activates, destroying all Spell/Trap Cards on the field besides "Heavy Storm Blade" ("Flare Neos": 4600 → 2900/2000). Since "[[Spell Calling (anime)|Spell Calling]]" was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard while face-down, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to Set two Spell Cards from his Deck ("Flare Neos": 2900 → 3700/2000). Aster, not knowing that he did this, continues his attack, but "Flare Neos" destroys "Dogma" (Aster 200 → 0). ==MistakesDifferences in adaptations==* After the Duel, Jaden shows his friends the his new deckDeck. In the English dub version, a few artworks of those cards are changed, including:** "[[Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (anime)|Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird]]" is changed to "[[Archlord Zerato]]"** "[[Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin (anime)|Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin]]" to "[[Destiny HERO - Blade Master|Destiny Hero - Blade Master]]"** "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" to [[Fusion]]-Type "[[Elemental HERO Bubbleman|Elemental Hero Bubbleman]]" * In the dub, during the scene when "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" explodes, it is shown from Jaden's point of view--a view in which we can see both of the cards that Jaden placed face-down via "[[Spell Calling (anime)|Spell Calling]]". While the card on the right is rather unrecognizable, the card on the left is "[[Heavy Storm Blade]]", a card that Jaden neither own nor took from Aster via a card effect in the [[Duel]]. == Errors ==In both versions, when Aster's explains the total ATK and DEF of "Dreadmaster", he does not account "Destiny Hero - Defender" during the explanation (the ATK and DEF of "Dreadmaster" are correctly shown increasing to 2300, however).
