==Summary==
[[Echo]] willingly steps forward to be sacrificed by [[Adrian Gecko|Adrian]] in order to release [[Exodia]]'s seal during the latter's [[Duel]] with [[Aster Phoenix|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 (anime)|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 Yuki|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]]", [[negate|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 (character)|Yubel]]'s, and thus the [[Devil Arm]] fades away and is replaced with his own.
