"The Art of the Duel", known as "The Duel Stage's Passageway" in the Japanese version, is the eighty-sixth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on May 24, 2006 and in the United States on January 6, 2007.
Jaden Yuki Duels Orlando as part of the Genex Tournament. Orlando is a Kabuki stage actor and Professional Cosplay Duelist.
Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Orlando
Turn 1: Orlando
Orlando draws "Kabuki Stage - Big Bridge" and subsequently activates it. Now once a turn, if a monster is attacked, that monster's controller can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from their hand in face-up Attack Position at the end of the Damage Step. Orlando then Normal Summons "Yoshitsune the Goblin of Beauty" (800/800) in Attack Position.
Turn 2: Jaden
Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Sparkman" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1600/1400) in Attack Position. "Sparkman" attacks "Yoshitsune", but the effect of "Yoshitsune" activates, switching it to Defense Position. Since "Yoshitsune" can't be destroyed in battle while it's in Defense Position, the attack fails. As a monster was attacked, Orlando activates the effect of "Big Bridge", Special Summoning "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei" (500/800) in Attack Position.
Turn 3: Orlando
Orlando draws. He then switches "Yoshitsune" to Attack Position. He then activates "Monk Halberd", equipping it to "Ben Kei" and increasing its ATK by 500 ("Ben Kei": 500 → 1000/800) until the End Phase. Due to the effect of "Ben Kei", it gains one additional attack for every Equip Card that is equipped to it and since it is currently equipped with one Equip Card, it can now attack twice per turn. Orlando then activates "Dramatic Pose", decreasing the ATK of "Sparkman" by 500 until the End Phase ("Sparkman": 1600 → 1100/1400) and increasing the ATK of "Ben Kei" and "Yoshitsune" ("Ben Kei": 1000 → 1500/800) ("Yoshitsune": 800 → 1300/800) until the End Phase. "Ben Kei" attacks and destroys "Sparkman" (Jaden 4000 → 3600). Jaden activates the effect of "Big Bridge", Special Summoning "Elemental Hero Wildheart" (1500/1600) from his hand in Attack Position. Orlando's hand contains "Shizuka the Heavenly Dancer" and "Dramatic Pose". "Ben Kei" attacks "Wildheart". Normally the attack would end in a Double KO, but Orlando activates the effect of "Monk Halberd", destroying it to prevent "Ben Kei" from being destroyed in battle ("Ben Kei": 1500 → 1000/800), so only "Wildheart" is destroyed. Since "Monk Halberd" was destroyed by its own effect, its final effect activates, inflicting 500 damage to Jaden (Jaden 3600 → 3100). "Yoshitune" attacks Jaden directly (Jaden 3100 → 1800). Orlando activates the effect of "Kabuki Stage - Big Bridge", sending it to the Graveyard to activate "Kabuki Stage - Cherry Blossom Mountain" from his Deck. Now when a monster is Normal or Special Summoned, it will be switched into Attack Position. Also when a monster declares an attack, the attack target will be chosen randomly. Orlando then Normal Summons "Shizuka the Heavenly Dancer" (300/600) in Attack Position. He then activates "New Year Drum", equipping it to "Shizuka the Heavenly Dancer". Now if the equipped monster is attacked, Orlando can Special Summon one "Battle Claw Fox" from his Deck and switch the attack target to it. At the End Phase, the effect of "Dramatic Pose" expires ("Ben Kei": 1000 → 500/800) ("Yoshitsune": 1300 → 800/800).
Turn 4: Jaden
Jaden's hand contains "Elemental Hero Avian", "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix", "De-Fusion", and "Feather Storm". Jaden draws "Polymerization" and subsequently activates it, fusing "Elemental Hero Avian" with "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. "Flame Wingman" attacks, but due to the effect of "Kabuki Stage - Cherry Blossom Mountain", Orlando chooses "Shizuka" to be the attack target of "Flame Wingman". The effect of "Shizuka" then activates, increasing Orlando's Life Points by 600 (Orlando 4000 → 4600). The effect of "New Year Drum" then activates, Special Summoning "Battle Claw Fox" (800/800) from Orlando's Deck in Attack Position and making it "Flame Wingman's" new attack target. "Flame Wingman" destroys "Battle Claw Fox" (Orlando 4600 → 3300). The effect of "Flame Wingman" then activates, inflicting damage to Orlando equal to the ATK of "Battle Claw Fox" (Orlando 3300 → 2500). Orlando explains to Jaden that "Flame Wingman" will be destroyed on the End Phase since it battled "Battle Claw Fox". Jaden then activates "De-Fusion", sending "Flame Wingman" to the Graveyard and Special Summoning "Avian" (1000/1000) and "Burstinatrix" (1200/800) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. "Burstinatrix" attacks, but due to the effect of "Kabuki Stage - Cherry Blossom Mountain", Orlando chooses "Shizuka" to be the attack target of "Burstinatrix". The effect of "Shizuka" then activates (Orlando 2500 → 3100). The effect of "New Year Drum" then activates, Special Summoning "Battle Claw Fox" (800/800) from Orlando's Deck in Attack Position and making it "Burstinatrix's" new attack target. "Burstinatrix" destroys "Battle Claw Fox" (Orlando 3100 → 2700). "Avian" attacks, but due to the effect of "Kabuki Stage - Cherry Blossom Mountain", Orlando chooses "Ben Kei" to be "Avian's" attack target. "Avian" destroys "Ben Kei" (Orlando 2700 → 2200). Jaden Sets a card. At the End Phase, the effect of "Battle Claw Fox" activates, destroying "Burstinatrix".
Turn 5: Orlando
Orlando draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it, drawing two cards. Orlando then activates the effect of "Cherry Blossom Mountain", sending it to the Graveyard to activate "Kabuki Stage - The Rough Seas" from his Deck. Now during each player's Main Phase 1, the turn player can add 1 Level 5 or higher Monster Card from their Deck to their hand. Orlando then activates the effect of "The Rough Seas", adding "Gengis Ghan - The Emperor Dragon" from his Deck to his hand. Orlando then Tributes "Shizuka" and "Yoshitsune" to Normal Summon "Gengis Ghan - The Emperor Dragon" (2800/2300) in Attack Position. "Gengis Ghan" attacks "Avian", but Jaden activates his face-down "Feather Storm", swapping the ATK and DEF of "Gengis Ghan" until the End Phase ("Gengis Ghan": 2800 → 2300/2300 → 2800). The attack continues, destroying "Avian" (Jaden 1800 → 500). Orlando Sets a card. At the End Phase, the effect of "Feather Storm" expires ("Gengis Ghan": 2300 → 2800/2800 → 2300).
Turn 6: Jaden
Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Bubbleman". Since "Bubbleman" is the only card in Jaden's hand, he Special Summons "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" (800/1200) in Attack Position via its own effect. Since "Bubbleman" was summoned while Jaden controlled no cards, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to draw two cards via its own effect. Jaden then activates the effect of "The Rough Seas" adding a Level 5 or higher monster from his Deck to his hand. Jaden then activates "Miracle Fusion" removing the "Flame Wingman" and "Sparkman" in his Graveyard from play 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 each Elemental Hero in Jaden's Graveyard. There are three, so "Shining Flare Wingman" gains 900 ATK ("Shining Flare Wingman": 2500 → 3400/2100). "Shining Flare Wingman" attacks "Gengis Ghan", but Orlando activates his face-down "Thousand Strings", negating the attack and decreasing the ATK of all face-up monsters to 0 for this turn ("Shining Flare Wingman" 3400 → 0/2100) ("Bubbleman": 800 → 0/1200) ("Gengis Ghan": 2800 → 0/2300). Jaden then activates "Quick Summon", Tributing "Shining Flare Wingman" and "Bubbleman" to Normal Summon "Elemental Hero Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. "Neos" attacks and destroys "Gengis Ghan" (Orlando 2200 → 0).
Jaden wins.
Errors
- On Turn 3, Orlando was shown to have "Dramatic Pose" in his hand. This is an error as that should be "New Year Drum" since Orlando's hand becomes empty after he plays "New Year Drum".
