==Summary==
[[Echo]] willingly steps forward to be sacrificed by [[Adrian Gecko]] in order to release [[Exodia]]'s seal during the latter's duel with [[Aster Phoenix]]. Aster questions how Adrian can claim to love Echo but still be wiling to sacrifice her. Adrian refuses to respond, and Exodia's hand appears and grabs Echo. Aster states he won't continue the duel, but Adrian responds that they can't stop now - neither can leave until one of them loses. Adrian summons "[[Card Appearances:Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" and Aster comments that it's "a different Exodia". This card actually makes it ''beneficial'' to send Exodia pieces to the [[Graveyard]] - if all five are sent there via it's effect, Adrian can declare an automatic win.

==Featured Duel: Aster Phoenix vs. Adrian Gecko==
 +
''Duel continues from [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 144|the previous episode]]''.
 +
 
 +
Aster Phoenix has 4000 [[LP]] and controls "[[Destiny Hero - Disk Commander (anime)|Destiny Hero - Disk Commander]]" (300/300), "[[Destiny Hero - Dunker (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dunker]]" (1200/1700), and "[[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (later anime)|Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude]]" (1400/1600), all in [[Attack Position]], as well as "[[Force of Four]]" in his [[Spell & Trap Zone]]. Adrian Gecko has 1800 LP and controls no cards.
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Turn 5: Adrian'''</u><br/>
 +
Adrian has just activated the effect of "[[Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" with [[Echo]] having agreed to offer her life force in exchange for the awakening of [[Exodia]]. Due to the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", Adrian returns "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (anime)|Exodia the Forbidden One]]" from his [[Graveyard]] to his [[Main Deck|Deck]], discards "[[Right Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Right Arm of the Forbidden One]]" and "[[Left Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Arm of the Forbidden One]]" from his hand, and [[Special Summon]]s "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (anime)|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" (?/0) in [[Attack Position]].
 +
 
 +
Since "Exodius" was Special Summoned through the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", a "[[Forbidden One]]" monster will return to Adrian's Deck if it was not sent to the Graveyard through the third effect of "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord".
 +
 
 +
Due to the fourth effect of "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", it gains 1000 [[ATK]] for each differently named "[[Forbidden One]]" monster in Adrian's Graveyard. There are currently two ("Exodius": ? → 2000/0). In addition, if five differently named "[[Forbidden One]]" monsters are in Adrian's Graveyard and "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" is present on Adrian's side of the field, Adrian can declare an automatic win.
 +
 
 +
"Exodius" attacks "[[Destiny Hero - Disk Commander (anime)|Destiny Hero - Disk Commander]]". Adrian activates the third effect of "Exodius" to send "[[Right Leg of the Forbidden One (anime)|Right Leg of the Forbidden One]]" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Exodius": 2000 → 3000/0). "Exodius" then destroys "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" (Aster 4000 → 1300).
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Turn 6: Aster'''</u><br/>
 +
Aster draws "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious (anime)|Destiny Hero - Malicious]]". He then [[Set]]s a card. Aster then activates the effect of "[[Destiny Hero - Dunker (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dunker]]" by sending "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from his hand to the Graveyard (Adrian 1800 → 1300). Through the effect of "[[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (later anime)|Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude]]", Aster activates the effect of "[[Doctor D (anime)|Doctor D]]" from his Graveyard and [[Banish|removes from play]] "Destiny Hero - Malicious"<ref group=Notes name=DoctorD>Aster didn't have to pay the cost of banishing a Destiny Hero because "[[Doctor D (anime)|Doctor D]]" was activated by "[[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (later anime)|Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude]]"'s effect. This card later returns to Aster's [[Graveyard]].</ref> in order to revive "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" (300/300) in Attack Position. The effect of "Disk Commander" activates, letting Aster [[Draw a card|draw]] two cards.
  
[[Jaden Yuki]] comments that Adrian is just like him - they are both willing to risk everything to gain power. In the Japanese version, Aster specifically says that this isn't a sacrifice - it's murder. Adrian freely agrees with him - it is murder. Aster attempts to counter Adrian's strategy by playing cards that skip Adrian's [[Battle Phase]], which would prevent him from sending Exodia pieces to the Graveyard. However, Adrian ultimately wins by playing "[[Rage of the Forbidden One]]", [[negate|negating]] Aster's "[[Plasma Discharger]]". This allows him sacrifice Echo, win the duel, and release Exodia - who becomes his servant. With Exoida's power, Adrian is free from [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]]'s, and thus the [[Devil Arm]] fades away and is replaced with his own.
+
Aster then [[Tribute]]s "Diamond Dude", "Disk Commander", and "Dunker" in order to [[Special Summon]] "[[Destiny Hero - Dogma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Dogma]]" (3400/2400) in Attack Position. "Destiny Hero - Dogma" attacks "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord". Due to the first effect of "Exodius", it is not destroyed (Adrian 1300 → 900).
  
With Aster about to lose, he urges the rest of the group to flee before Exodius attacks. The attack hits, and Aster fades away as Jaden, [[Syrus Truesdale]], [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]], [[Zane Truesdale]] and [[Ojama Yellow (character)|Ojama Yellow]] barely make it out in time. Outside, Exodia slowly lumbers away, with Adrian perched on it's shoulder. Adrian taunts Jaden as they pass calling him "[[The Supreme King]]'s cast-off shell" and "not worth dueling". Adrian then vows to dedicate his future victory over Yubel to Echo.
+
<u>'''Turn 7: Adrian'''</u><br/>
 +
Adrian draws. During Adrian's Standby Phase, the effect of "Destiny Hero - Dogma" activates, halving Adrian's Life Points (Adrian 900 → 450). "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" attacks "Destiny Hero - Dogma". Adrian then activates the third effect of "Exodius" to send "[[Left Leg of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Leg of the Forbidden One]]" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Exodius": 3000 → 4000/0). "Exodius" then destroys "Dogma" (Aster 1300 → 700).
  
==Featured Duel==

<u>'''Turn 8: Aster'''</u><br/>
===Adrian's turn===
+
Aster draws "[[D - Mind (anime)|D - Mind]]" and subsequently activates it to Special Summon "[[Destiny Hero - Departed (anime)|Destiny Hero - Departed]]" (1000/0) from his Deck in Attack Position as he controls no "[[Destiny HERO|Destiny Hero]]" monsters. Aster then [[Banish|removes from play]] "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious (anime)|Destiny Hero - Malicious]]" from his Graveyard in order to Special Summon another "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from his Deck (800/800) in Attack Position. Aster then Normal Summons "[[D3 (anime)|D3]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then Tributes "D3", "Destiny Hero - Malicious", and "Destiny Hero - Departed" in order to Special Summon "[[Destiny Hero - Plasma (anime)|Destiny Hero - Plasma]]" (1900/600) in Attack Position.

* During Adrian's [[Standby Phase]], "[[Plasma Roar]]" gains another [[Plasma Counter (counter)|Counter]]
+
 
* Adrian enters his [[Battle Phase]].
+
Since there are five differently named "[[Forbidden One]]" monsters in Adrian's Graveyard and "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" is present on Adrian's side of the field, Adrian automatically wins the Duel (this is visualized by "Exodia", and not "Exodius" appearing to attack "Plasma").
* Aster activates his face-down "[[Plasma Discharger]]", allowing him to destroy 1 Equip Card to end Adrian's [[Battle Phase]]. He destroys "[[Destiny Hero - Departed]]", but Adrian activates "[[Rage of the Forbidden One]]". With his "[[Card Appearances:Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord|Exodius]]", this allows him to negate any card effects that are still active that he wishes to negate.
+
 
* With "[[Plasma Discharger]]" negated, Adrian continues his attack with "[[Card Appearances:Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord|Exodius]]", sending "[[Exodia the Forbidden One]]" from his hand to the Graveyard. With all five [[Exodia]] cards sent to the [[Graveyard]] due to the effect of "[[Card Appearances:Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]", Adrian can declare an automatic win.

==Differences in Adaptation==
 +
===English Dub===
 +
*In the scene where Aster Normal Summons "D3", the artworks of the monster cards on his Duel Disk do not match the artworks of the monsters on his field. Instead of "D3", "Destiny HERO - Departed" and "Destiny HERO - Malicious", the cards on the Duel Disk are "Exodius, the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", "Destiny HERO - Dunker" and "Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude" respectively.

"[[The Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord]]" is not needed to summon it, instead, one must return all monsters in their [[Graveyard]] to their [[Main Deck|Deck]]. Any monster can be sent from the deck to the Graveyard for it's effect, not just Exodia pieces and it gains 1000 ATK for each [[Normal Monsters|Normal Monster]] in the Graveyard, not just Exodia pieces. In addition, it is not immune to [[Effect Monsters|Monster]], [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards|Trap]] effects.

"The Forbidden Ritual, Part 2", known as "Summon - Ultimate Sealed God, Exodius!" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and forty-fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on July 18, 2007 and in the US on May 24, 2008.

In his quest to release Exodia, Adrian continues his Duel with Aster, intent on using the power of Exodia to escape from Yubel's influence.

Summary[edit]

Echo willingly steps forward to be sacrificed by Adrian in order to release Exodia's seal during the latter's Duel with Aster. Aster questions how Adrian can claim to love Echo but still be wiling to sacrifice her. Adrian refuses to respond, and Exodia's hand appears and grabs Echo. Aster states he won't continue the Duel, but Adrian responds that they can't stop now - neither can leave until one of them loses. Adrian Summons "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" and Aster comments that it's "a different Exodia". This card actually makes it beneficial to send Exodia pieces to the Graveyard - if all five are sent there via it's effect, Adrian can declare an automatic win.

Jaden comments that Adrian is just like him - they are both willing to risk everything to gain power. In the Japanese version, Aster specifically says that this isn't a sacrifice - it's murder. Adrian freely agrees with him - it is murder. Aster attempts to counter Adrian's strategy by playing cards that skip Adrian's Battle Phase, which would prevent him from sending Exodia pieces to the Graveyard. However, Adrian ultimately wins by playing "Rage of the Forbidden One", negating Aster's "Plasma Discharger". This allows him sacrifice Echo, win the Duel, and release Exodia - who becomes his servant. With Exodia's power, Adrian is free from Yubel's, and thus the Devil Arm fades away and is replaced with his own.

With Aster about to lose, he urges the rest of the group to flee before Exodius attacks. The attack hits, and Aster fades away as Jaden, Syrus, Dr. Crowler, Zane and Ojama Yellow barely make it out in time. Outside, Exodia slowly lumbers away, with Adrian perched on it's shoulder. Adrian taunts Jaden as they pass calling him "The Supreme King's cast-off shell" and "not worth Dueling". Adrian then vows to dedicate his future victory over Yubel to Echo.

Featured Duel: Aster Phoenix vs. Adrian Gecko[edit]

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Aster Phoenix has 4000 LP and controls "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" (300/300), "Destiny Hero - Dunker" (1200/1700), and "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" (1400/1600), all in Attack Position, as well as "Force of Four" in his Spell & Trap Zone. Adrian Gecko has 1800 LP and controls no cards.

Turn 5: Adrian
Adrian has just activated the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" with Echo having agreed to offer her life force in exchange for the awakening of Exodia. Due to the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", Adrian returns "Exodia the Forbidden One" from his Graveyard to his Deck, discards "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" and "Left Arm of the Forbidden One" from his hand, and Special Summons "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" (?/0) in Attack Position.

Since "Exodius" was Special Summoned through the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", a "Forbidden One" monster will return to Adrian's Deck if it was not sent to the Graveyard through the third effect of "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord".

Due to the fourth effect of "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", it gains 1000 ATK for each differently named "Forbidden One" monster in Adrian's Graveyard. There are currently two ("Exodius": ? → 2000/0). In addition, if five differently named "Forbidden One" monsters are in Adrian's Graveyard and "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" is present on Adrian's side of the field, Adrian can declare an automatic win.

"Exodius" attacks "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander". Adrian activates the third effect of "Exodius" to send "Right Leg of the Forbidden One" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Exodius": 2000 → 3000/0). "Exodius" then destroys "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" (Aster 4000 → 1300).

Turn 6: Aster
Aster draws "Destiny Hero - Malicious". He then Sets a card. Aster then activates the effect of "Destiny Hero - Dunker" by sending "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from his hand to the Graveyard (Adrian 1800 → 1300). Through the effect of "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude", Aster activates the effect of "Doctor D" from his Graveyard and removes from play "Destiny Hero - Malicious"[Notes 1] in order to revive "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" (300/300) in Attack Position. The effect of "Disk Commander" activates, letting Aster draw two cards.

Aster then Tributes "Diamond Dude", "Disk Commander", and "Dunker" in order to Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Dogma" (3400/2400) in Attack Position. "Destiny Hero - Dogma" attacks "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord". Due to the first effect of "Exodius", it is not destroyed (Adrian 1300 → 900).

Turn 7: Adrian
Adrian draws. During Adrian's Standby Phase, the effect of "Destiny Hero - Dogma" activates, halving Adrian's Life Points (Adrian 900 → 450). "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" attacks "Destiny Hero - Dogma". Adrian then activates the third effect of "Exodius" to send "Left Leg of the Forbidden One" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Exodius": 3000 → 4000/0). "Exodius" then destroys "Dogma" (Aster 1300 → 700).

Turn 8: Aster
Aster draws "D - Mind" and subsequently activates it to Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Departed" (1000/0) from his Deck in Attack Position as he controls no "Destiny Hero" monsters. Aster then removes from play "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from his Graveyard in order to Special Summon another "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from his Deck (800/800) in Attack Position. Aster then Normal Summons "D3" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then Tributes "D3", "Destiny Hero - Malicious", and "Destiny Hero - Departed" in order to Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Plasma" (1900/600) in Attack Position.

Aster then activates his face-down "Drain Time" and declares Battle Phase for its effect. Now both players must skip their next phase of Aster's choice. Aster then Sets a card.

Turn 9: Adrian
Adrian draws. During Adrian's Standby Phase, Aster activates his face-down "Plasma Roar", which gains a Plasma Counter due to "Destiny Hero - Plasma" being present on Aster's field. Now if there are two or more Plasma Counters placed on "Plasma Roar", Aster can send "Plasma Roar" to the Graveyard, destroy one monster on the field, and inflict half of that monster's ATK as damage to Adrian. Adrian then Sets a card.

Turn 10: Aster
Aster draws. During Aster's Standby Phase, the first effect of "Destiny Hero - Departed" activates, Special Summoning itself from Aster's Graveyard to Adrian's side of the field (1000/0) in Attack Position. "Plasma" attacks "Departed", but Adrian activates his face-down "Defense Seal Wall" to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase as he controls "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord".

Aster then activates the effect of "Destiny Hero - Plasma", equipping "Destiny Hero - Departed" onto it and increasing its ATK by half the ATK of "Destiny Hero - Departed" ("Plasma": 1900 → 2400/600) as well as granting "Plasma" all of the effects of "Destiny Hero - Departed". Aster Sets a card.

Turn 11: Adrian
Adrian draws. During Adrian's Standby Phase, "Plasma Roar" gains a second Plasma Counter. Aster plans to activate the final effect of "Plasma Roar" on his next turn to destroy "Destiny Hero - Plasma".

"Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" attacks "Destiny Hero - Plasma", but Aster activates his face-down "Plasma Discharger" to destroy "Destiny Hero - Departed" ("Destiny Hero - Plasma": 2400 → 1900/600) and end Adrian's Battle Phase, however Adrian activates "Rage of the Forbidden One" to negate the effect of "Plasma Discharger". Adrian then activates the third effect of "Exodius" to send "Exodia the Forbidden One" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Exodius": 4000 → 5000/0).

Since there are five differently named "Forbidden One" monsters in Adrian's Graveyard and "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" is present on Adrian's side of the field, Adrian automatically wins the Duel (this is visualized by "Exodia", and not "Exodius" appearing to attack "Plasma").

Differences in Adaptation[edit]

English Dub[edit]

  • In the scene where Aster Normal Summons "D3", the artworks of the monster cards on his Duel Disk do not match the artworks of the monsters on his field. Instead of "D3", "Destiny HERO - Departed" and "Destiny HERO - Malicious", the cards on the Duel Disk are "Exodius, the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", "Destiny HERO - Dunker" and "Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude" respectively.

Featured cards[edit]

The following cards appeared in this episode. Cards in italics debuted here.

Notes[edit]

  1. Aster didn't have to pay the cost of banishing a Destiny Hero because "Doctor D" was activated by "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"'s effect. This card later returns to Aster's Graveyard.
