Taken by Storm, Part 2, known as The Ultimate Alliance! Rex Union! in the Japanese version, is the seventy-sixth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.

Summary

Jaden Yuki locates Solomon Muto and also meets up with Aster Phoenix. Seeing the hologram of Tyranno Hassleberry's "Dark Tyranno" on top of a building, they determine that he and Syrus Truesdale must be there. At the Duel, Frost and Thunder begin to argue, while Syrus and Hassleberry begin to function more as a team. They play off each other's card's quite well, as they were able to see each other's hand via the reflections of their opponent's "Reflector Bits". Hassleberry puts the Duel at a standstill by playing "Jurassic Impact", and Syrus restores their Life Points with "Ring of Life". Combining Hassleberry's "Super Conductor Tyranno" with his "Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union", Syrus seems to have the Duel won. However, Frost activates "Mirror of Duality", taking out Syrus, Hassleberry and his own partner in order to win. He then finds Jaden, and wishes to take him to see Sarina, who Aster recognizes as Sartorius' younger sister.

Featured Duel: Frost and Thunder vs. Tyranno Hassleberry and Syrus Truesdale - Part 2

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Syrus' turn

• Syrus draws.
• Summons "Gyroid" (1000/1000) in Defense Position.

Frost's turn

• Frost draws a card and subsequently Sets it.
• Switches "Mobius the Frost Monarch" to Attack Position (2400/1000).
• "Mobius" attacks and destroys "Dark Tyranno" (Hassleberry 1100 → 800).

Hassleberry's turn

• Hassleberry draws "Card of Reversal" and subsequently activates it, drawing cards equal to the number of face-up cards Frost controls as he himself has no card on his field or in his hand. Frost controls 4 cards, so Hassleberry draws four cards.
• Summons "Element Saurus" (1500 → 1000/1200 → 700) in Defense Position.
  • Frost activates his face-down "Mobius Glacier". Now all Dinosaur, Plant, Winged Beast, Beast-Warrior and Beast-type monsters must be summoned in Attack Position and they are not allowed to declare an attack; "Element Saurus" is changed to Attack Position.
• Sets two cards.

Thunder's turn

• Thunder draws.
• Activates "System Down", paying 1000 Life Points (Thunder 4000 → 3000) to remove all Machine-type monsters on Syrus' Field and Graveyard from play.
• "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch" attacks Syrus directly (Syrus 3500 → 1100).
• Activates "Rampage Condenser". Now if Syrus attacks with a Machine-type monster while Thunder controls a Thunder-type monster, Syrus takes 500 damage.

Syrus' turn

• Syrus draws "Stealthroid" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/0) in Attack Position.
• Activates Field Spell Card "Training Field". Now players can attack monsters on their own side of the Field. Should they do so, neither monster will be destroyed and the attacking monster will gain 300 ATK at the end of the Damage Step.
• "Stealthroid" attacks "Element Saurus" (Hassleberry 800 → 600). The effect of "Rampage Condenser" activates (Syrus 1100 → 600). Due to the effect of "Training Field", "Element Saurus" is not destroyed by the attack.
  • Due to the effect of "Training Field", the ATK of "Stealthroid" increases by 300 ("Stealthroid": 1200 → 1500/0).
  • Since "Stealthroid" attacked, its effect activates at the end of the Damage Step, allowing Syrus to destroy "Mobius Glacier".
  • Hassleberry activates his face-down "Counterattack!", forcing "Element Saurus" to attack again, ignoring replays or conditions. "Element Saurus" attacks "Stealthroid". Due to the effect of "Training Field", "Element Saurus" is not destroyed, but Hassleberry still takes Battle Damage (Hassleberry 600 → 100).
  • Due to the effect of "Training Field", the ATK of "Element Saurus" increases by 300 ("Element Saurus": 1000 → 1300/700).
  • Since "Stealthroid" attacked, its effect activates at the end of the Damage Step, allowing Syrus to destroy "Rampage Condenser".
• Syrus' hand contains "Drillroid", "Cycroid", "Dark Computer Virus", and "Ring of Life" while Hassleberry's hand contains "Big Evolution Pill".
• Sets two cards.

Frost's turn

• Frost draws.
• "Mobius" attacks "Element Saurus", but Syrus activates his face-down "Dark Computer Virus", Tributing "Stealthroid" to change the targets of "Side Attack"; the opponents that Frost and Thunder have are switched ("Element Saurus": 1300 → 1800/700 → 1200).
• A replay occurs and Frost uses "Mobius" to attack Syrus directly, but Hassleberry activates his face-down "Jurassic Impact", destroying all monsters on the Field and inflicting 1000 damage to their controllers for each monster destroyed. Syrus then activates his face-down "Ring of Life", Tributing "Element Saurus" to increase his and Hasslebery's Life Points by the DEF of "Element Saurus (Syrus 600 → 1800; Hassleberry 100 → 1300). The effect of "Jurassic Impact" continues (Frost 4000 → 2000; Thunder 3000 → 1000) Due to the effect of "Jurassic Impact", no player may Summon a monster during their next turn.
  • Since "Mobius" is no longer on the field, "Mobius Castle" is destroyed.

Hassleberry's turn

• Hassleberry draws.
• Passes.

Thunder's turn

• Thunder draws.
• Sets three cards.

Syrus' turn

• Syrus draws.
• Passes.

Frost's turn

• Frost draws "Mirror of Duality" and subsequently Sets it.

Hassleberry's turn

• Hassleberry draws "Ultra Evolution" and subsequently activates, removing "Dyna Base" in his hand and "Dark Tyranno" in his Graveyard from play to Special Summon "Super Conductor Tyranno" (3300/1400) from his Deck in Attack Position.
• "Super Conductor Tyranno" attacks Thunder directly, but Thunder activates his face-down "Lightning Talisman", negating the attack and forcing all players besides Thunder to draw a card and take 400 damage for each card in his hand. Since Frost has two cards, he takes 800 damage (Frost 2000 → 1200). Since Syrus has four cards in his hand, he takes 1600 damage (Syrus 1800 → 200). Since Hassleberry has two cards, he takes 800 damage (Hassleberry 1300 → 500).

Thunder's turn

• Thunder draws "Mirror of Duality".
• Activates his face-down "Monster Reincarnation", discarding "Mirror of Duality" to add "Thunder Knight" from his Graveyard to his hand.
• Summons "Thunder Knight" (1300/1200) in Defense Position.

Syrus' turn

• Syrus draws "Expressroid".
• Activates "Burial from a Different Dimension", adding his removed from play "Gyroid" and "Truckroid" to his Graveyard.
• Summons "Expressroid" (400/1600) in Attack Position.
  • The effect of "Expressroid" activates upon being summoned, allowing Syrus to add "Stealthroid" and "Truckroid" from his Graveyard to his hand.
• Activates "Vehicroid Connection Zone", fusing "Expressroid", "Stealthroid", "Truckroid" and "Drillroid" to Fusion Summon "Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union" (3600/3000) in Attack Position.
• Activates "Stealth Union's" effect, equipping it with "Super Conductor Tyranno" in order to allow it to attack twice this turn by halving its ATK during both of its attacks.
• "Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union" attacks Frost directly and Thunder Knight ("Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union" 3600 → 1800/3000), but Frost activates his face-down "Mirror of Duality", paying 1000 Life Points (Frost 1200 → 200) to destroy all monsters on the Field and inflict 500 damage to all other players for each destroyed monster. With two destroyed, all players besides Frost take 1000 damage (Thunder 1000 → 0; Syrus 200 → 0; Hassleberry 500 → 0).
• Frost wins.

• Note: It would have been more smart and logical for Syrus to equip Thunder Knight to Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union; this would let him attack both his opponent's directly and defeat them both in one turn. Either way, Frost would still use Mirror of Duality creating the same outcome.

Trivia

• With Kaiba's appearance in this episode and Grandpa's continued appearance from the previous episode, two main characters from the original series have appeared. Both characters' voice actors, Eric Stuart and Maddie Blaustein, were already present due to voicing Bastion Misawa and Sartorius, respectively.
  • Also, Roland was voiced by Syrus' voice actor, Wayne Grayson, who had temporarily voiced him in the original series from episodes 128 to 148.

Errors

• In the dub, when Hassleberry summons "Element Saurus", Frost incorrectly tells "Mobius" to activate its effect when we was in fact activating the effect of "Mobius Castle".
• In the dub, when "Element Saurus" is switched to Attack Position via "Mobius Glacier" and has 500 ATK shaved off via "Mobius Castle," the readout showed the correct 1500 points being reduced to 1000, but was incorrectly labeled "DEF". It is possible that it was meant to say "DEF" and switch to "ATK" as "Element Saurus" stood up (which has been done before), but for some reason did not display the switch.
• In the dub, after "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch" attacked Syrus directly, we see "Black Tyranno" (which was destroyed the previous turn) on Hassleberry's Duel Disk instead of "Element Saurus".
• In the dub, when Hassleberry activates "Jurassic Impact" he says he has fewer ATK points than "the enemy" when he was supposed to say Life Points.
