"'''"Ultimate Destiny"'''", known as "'''"Finally Activated! The Ultimate D-Card"''' " in the Japanese version, is the ninety-eighth episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. [[Aster Phoenix]] discovers the awful truth about the murder of his father and the theft of the "Ultimate Destiny" card: the culprit behind both incidents is his current guardian, [[The D]] (who is another vessel possessed by [[The Light of Destruction]]).
==Summary==
[[Aster Phoenix]] confronts his guardian, [[The D]] and asks if he won his duel with [[Doctor Collector]]. The D responds that of course, he did. When asked he called Aster here, The D reveals his sinister past. After seeing a new card design made by Aster's father, he sneaked into his apartment that night and attempted to steal the card. However, the card had been tainted by [[The Light of Destruction]], and The D kidnaps (kills in the Japanese version) Aster's father. He used "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Plasma]]" to become the champion of the [[Pro League]] and hold his title for ten years. Though he couldn't use the card in official matches, the powers of [[The Light of Destruction ]] aided his victories in other ways. In underground duels, he steals the souls of countless duelists using the card.
With his past revealed, Aster wishes to avenge his father, and he begins his duel with The D. Aster summons "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" on his first turn, but The D counters with "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma]]" and "[[D - Force]]", which forms a nearly unstoppable combo that renders "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma|Plasma]]" virtually untouchable. Aster eventually uses "[[Destiny HERO - Dark Angel (anime)|Destiny Hero - The Dark Angel]]" to seal the effect of "[[D - Force]]" , after realizing that his father must have created it specifically to counter "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma]]".
When Aster is about to destroy "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma|Plasma]]", The D reveals that the soul of Aster's father is trapped within the card. Aster's father speaks to him, and says he apologizes for creating such a powerful card. When he began to create it, he heard the voice of The Light of Destruction, and was unable to stop himself from finishing. He stated it was similiar similar to what happened when [[Maximillion Pegasus]] created the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God cards]]cards. He states that the [[The Light of Destruction ]] that possesses the card The D is merely a small part husk; the real Light of it, and a larger part Destruction exists inside of [[Sartorius]]. He urges Aster to attack and destroy "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma|Plasma]]". Aster attacks and his father says good-byeto him before the destruction of "Plasma", which leaves Aster overwhelmed with sadness and guilt.
As The D drops his cards, The Light of Destruction escapes from "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma|Plasma]]" as an explosion ensuesand explodes, setting the ship ablaze. The card flies towards Asterand he quickly takes it. He sadly looks at the card and says goodbye to his dad since he will never see him again. The D regaining consciousness, yells at Aster that he is consumed the chosen one (in the flame and dub he swears that he will have his revenge), but Aster knowing what he must do does not care what The D says at all. Aster takes the "Plasma" card and rushes out to the deck. He Deck and is saved via helicopter by [[Chancellor Sheppard]].
==Featured Duel: Aster Phoenix vs. The D=====<u>'''Turn 1: Aster's turn===''</u><br />*Activates [[Aster Phoenix|Aster]] draws "[[Destiny Draw (anime)|Destiny Draw]]". Now, by discarding 1 and subsequently activates it to [[discard]] "[[Destiny Hero- Malicious (anime)|Destiny Hero - Malicious]]" from his hand, he can and [[Draw a card|draw 2 more two cards]](one of which is "D - Spirit"). He [[discard|discards]] Aster then activates "[[Destiny Hero D - MaliciousSpirit (anime)|Malicious]]" for the cost*Activates "[[D - Spirit]]", which, since he controls no monsters, lets him [[to Special Summon]] a "[[Destiny Hero]]" from his hand, as long as it is [[Level 4]] or below. He chooses "[[- Diamond Dude (later anime)|Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude]]" (1400/1600), who appears in [[Attack Position]]since he controls no "Destiny Hero" monsters.*Aster then activates the effect of "[[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude]]'s" [[effect]] activates, letting Aster check to reveal the top card on of his [[Deck]]. If it that card is a [[Normal Spell Card]], he can show it will be sent to his opponent and activate it on his next turn from the [[Graveyard]]; if not, the card goes to the bottom of his [[Deck]]. The top card is "[[Pot of Greed]]", so he and Aster can send it to the [[Graveyard]] and activate it in its effect on his next turn's Main Phase.*Activates "[[Over Destiny]]". Now, by selecting a "[[Destiny Hero]]" [[monster]] in his [[Graveyard]], Aster can [[Special Summon|summon]] a reveals "[[Destiny Hero]]" from his [[Deck]], if its [[Level]] is half the [[Level]] Pot of the "[[Destiny Hero]]" in the [[Graveyard]] or lower. With "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious|Malicious]]", a Level 6 monster, in his [[Graveyard]], he can [[Special Summon|summon]] a "[[Destiny Hero]]" [[Level 3]] or below. He chooses "[[Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious|Captain Tenacious]]" Greed (800/800anime).*Then, he activates "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious|Malicious]]'s" [[effectPot of Greed]]: By removing his "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious|Malicious]]" in the [[Graveyard]] [[removed from play|from play]], he can [[Special Summon|summon]] [[Destiny Hero - Malicious|another one]] (800/800) from his [[Deck]] so it is sent to the field.*With 3 monsters (including at least 1 "[[Destiny Hero]]") under his control, Aster can tribute all three to [[Special Summon|summon]] "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" (3400/2400), who appears in [[Attack Position]].*[[Set]]s a card and activates his "[[Clock Tower Prison]]". Now, during each of his opponent's [[Standby Phase]]s, "[[Clock Tower Prison]]" will gain a [[Clock Counter]] with each passing turn. Then, if 4 or more [[Clock Counter|Counters]] are on his Field Spell, all [[Battle Damage]] to Aster will be reduced to 0Graveyard.
Aster then Normal Summons "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" (600/800) in [[Defense Position]]. He then activates the effect of "Doom Lord" to [[Banish|remove]] "Plasma" from play for two turns, but it doesn't work as "Plasma" negates the [[effect|effects]] of Aster's face-up [[Effect Monster]]s while "D - Force" is the D's top card. <u>'''Turn 4: The D'''</u><br />Due to "D - Force", the D skips his Draw Phase. The D then activates his face-down "[[D - Boost]]" to [[Draw a card|draw two cards]] under his [[face-up]] "[[D - Force (anime)|D-Force]]". On the D's Standby Phase, "Clock Tower Prison" gains a second Clock Counter. The D then activates "[[Drain Time]]" and declares "[[Standby Phase]]" for its effect. Now Aster and the D must skip the declared Phase on their next turn. "Destiny Hero - Plasma" attacks "Doom Lord", but Aster activates his face-down "[[D - Counter (anime)|D - Counter]]" to destroy "Plasma", however it doesn't work as "Plasma" is unaffected by Aster's Spells and Traps while "D - Force" is the D's top card. "Plasma" destroys "Doom Lord". The D then [[Set]]s a card. <u>'''Turn 5: Aster'''</u><br />Aster draws. Due to "Drain Time", Aster's Standby Phase is skipped. Aster then [[Set]]s two cards. <u>'''Turn 6: The D'''</u><br />Due to "D - Force", the D skips his Draw Phase. Due to "Drain Time", [[The D]] skips his [[Standby Phase]]. "Destiny Hero - Plasma" attacks directly. [[The D]] then activates his face-down "[[Dust Tornado (anime)|Dust Tornado]]" to destroy Aster's "Clock Tower Prison", but Aster [[chain]]s his face-down "[[Eternal Dread (anime)|Eternal Dread]]" and his face-down "[[Greed Pact]]" to the activation of "Dust Tornado". The effects of the three activated cards resolve in reverse order. "Greed Pact" [[Resolve|resolves]] first and lets Aster and [[The D]] both [[draw a card]]. This makes the D draw "D - Force". "Eternal Dread" resolves next and adds two Clock Counters to "Clock Tower Prison", giving it a total of four Clock Counters. "Dust Tornado" resolves last and destroys "Clock Tower Prison", which enables Aster to [[Special Summon]] "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" (?/?) in [[Defense Position]]. Aster then activates the first effect of "Dreadmaster" to revive "Diamond Dude" (1400/1600) and "Captain Tenacious" (800/800) in Defense Position. Due to the last effect of "Dreadmaster", its [[original ATK and DEF]] are equal to the total [[ATK]] of all other "[[Destiny HERO|Destiny Hero]]" monsters that Aster controls ("Dreadmaster": ? → 2200/? → 2200). The D then re-activates "D - Force" and places it face-up on the top of his Deck. The D then activates "[[Unfair Judge]]" to pay 800 Life Points (The D 2000 → 1200) and select "Plasma" in order to conduct another Battle Phase this turn and allow "Plasma" to attack every monster Aster controls once each. "Plasma" attacks and destroys all three of Aster's monsters. <u>'''Turn 7: Aster'''</u><br />Aster draws "[[Destiny Hero - Dark Angel (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dark Angel]]". On Aster's [[Standby Phase]], the effect "Plasma" gained from "Dogma" activates (Aster 200 → 100). Aster then discards "Destiny Hero - Dark Angel" from his hand via its own effect in order to place it on the top of the D's [[Deck]]. Aster then activates "[[Dark City (anime)|Dark City]]". Now when a Destiny Hero attacks a monster that has more ATK than it, the attacking monster will gain 1000 ATK during damage calculation only. Aster then Normal Summons "[[Destiny Hero - Celestial (anime)|Destiny Hero - Celestial]]" (1600/1400) in [[Attack Position]]. "Celestial" attacks "Plasma". Aster then activates the effect of "Celestial", destroying "Dogma" ("Plasma": 3600 → 1900/600) and inflicting 500 damage to the D (The D 1200 → 700). The effect of "Dark City" activates ("Celestial": 1600 → 2600/1400). Before "Celestial" is able to strike the final blow, Aster suddenly sees that "Destiny Hero - Plasma" has trapped his father's soul within itself, along with the souls of other Duelists that [[The D]] has defeated. Aster's father informs him that he and [[The D]] were under the control of [[the Light of Destruction]] when "Plasma" was created. Aster is hesitant to destroy "Plasma" on this note, but his father encourages him to do so, as a larger part of [[the Light of Destruction]] is possessing [[Sartorius]], and using him in its attempt to destroy the world. Aster's resolve returns with this encouragement and "Destiny Hero - Celestial" continues its [[attack]], destroying "Destiny Hero - Plasma" (The D 700 → 0). ==MistakesTrivia ==* In This episode marks one of the rare times where a duelist activates Pot of Greed without explaining its effect. ==Mistakes in the English dub==* When Aster Summons [[Defense Position]] monsters, before the "[[ATK]]" icon is shown instead of "[[DEF]]". * Before Aster summoned Summoned "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Dogma]]", he'd said, "I'll sacrifice them both..." when he'd actually had 3 monsters on the field ("[[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (later anime)|Diamond Dude]]", "[[Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious (anime)|Captain Tenacious]]", and "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious (anime)|Malicious]]"). * In the English dub, when When [[The D]] declared an attack attacked "[[Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (later anime)|Doom Lord]]" with "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma (anime)|Plasma]]", he ordered it to attack [[Aster Phoenix|Aster]] directly. This was impossible at the time * When Aster explains what happened when The D played "[[Dust Tornado (anime)|Dust Tornado]]" and he played "[[Eternal Dread (anime)|Eternal Dread]]" and "[[Greed Pact]]", as he says that "[[Destiny Hero - Doom LordDreadmaster (later anime)|Dreadmaster]]" stepped in to protect "[[Clock Tower Prison (anime)|Clock Tower Prison]]" with his "invincible barrier" when it was still in actually summoned due to the prison's destruction and due to The D playing "[[D - Force]]" again afterward, the "invincible barrier" effect never came into play.
