"A Jewel of A Duel: Part 2", known as "The Neo-Spacians vs. The Gem Beasts" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on October 18, 2006, and in the US on April 21, 2007.

Jaden Yuki continues his Duel with Jesse Anderson as Professor Viper's motives begin to present themselves.

Summary

The exhibition match between Jaden and Jesse Anderson continues. Meanwhile, Professor Viper is still at the lab where Wheeler was worked on. He is seen several times laughing at the lava lamp-like object he brought with him. Eventually, he ends up back at Duel Academy watching the Duel, and comments that he hopes that this Duel will inspire other students. Chancellor Sheppard concurs. Viper privately thinks to himself that he wants Jaden and Jesse to continue their fight, so he can extract their "Duel Energy" to make his dream a reality. As he thinks this, the screen cuts back to the lava lamp, in which opens a single eye. A voice says that it will see Jaden soon (in the dub, it says it wishes to "play" with Jaden, while in the Japanese, the voice calls him "my precious Judai").

During the Duel, Aster appears behind Jaden's friends in the audience. When questioned what he's doing here, he reminds everyone he's still technically a student at Duel Academy, despite also competing in the Pro League. Aster comments that Jaden has never faced an opponent like Jesse before - since they both believe of the powerful bond between Duelist and Deck. Aster says he once personally spoke with Maximillion Pegasus, after having won an Industrial Illusions-sponsored tournament. Pegasus revealed that Aster was his fourth-favorite Duelist - the first three being Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler, respectively. When questioned about the fifth, Pegasus reveals it to be Jesse. He states that Jesse had participated a Southern (European in the Japanese version) tournament, and while there, the "Crystal Beast" cards Pegasus had taken with him began to glow. He took this as a sign that the cards had chosen Jesse, and thus gave them to him.

Both Jesse and Jaden get a little carried away during the Duel, both being reminded during the Duel to focus on the battle and not on being impressed by their opponent's cards. Jaden ultimately wins the Duel, but Jesse pretends to Summon his signature card, "Rainbow Dragon", but reveals that he doesn't actually have it. Pegasus won't create the card until the tablet where the seven gemstones from Rome would have been placed is found. This causes quite a row and Jaden is left disappointed. Jesse doesn't seem to notice as he asks all the other students to keep an eye open for the tablet. Professor Viper approaches them and congratulates on an excellent Duel. He states that this year, he will institute Survival Duels between students, as he values practical Dueling over lessons.

On Duel Academy's roof, Jaden and Jesse sit and discuss their Duel, both offering advice to the other on alternate moves they could have made. Syrus, Hassleberry, Chazz and Aster watch them, Aster then explaining he's going back to the pro leagues since Jaden's found himself a twin (In the dub he reminds them it could be worse and at least Chazz doesn't have a twin).

Trivia

• Due to the duel focusing on Jaden and Jesse talking to their cards, Jaden only used Neos and all of the Neo-Spacians making it the only duel where he uses his "Neo Space" cards without any Elemental HEROes (excludng Neos and its fusions).
• During Jesse's last turn, had he not used "Amethyst Cat"'s effect, he could have won the duel.

Mistakes

• After "Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth" was destroyed in the dub, Jesse said he loses half as many attack points. It should have been Life Points.
