Conquering the Past - Part 3, known as The Ultimate Dragon Showdown! Cyber End VS Rainbow Dark in the Japaneses version, is the one hundred and forty-eighth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Yubel continues her duel with Zane Truesdale, with Zane resolving to sacrifice himself to save Jesse Anderson, as he will die soon regardless of the duel's result.

Summary

Zane Truesdale's duel with the Yubel-possessed Jesse Anderson continues, with Jesse saving the rest of his Life Points with "Rainbow Path". Intent on having his greatest duel ever, Zane plays counter after counter, and nearly wins several times. Eventually, he decides that that he'll win to free Jesse from Yubel's control, planning to drag Yubel with him when he dies. However, Jesse has one last counter up his sleeve, and though Zane summons "Cyber End Dragon" with 16,000 attack points, he loses due to the effect of "Power Bond". As his Life Points reach zero, his heart stops.

Yubel comments that it didn't expect to use so much power in that one duel, but tells Jaden Yuki that they will duel when the time comes, retreating for now. As Zane fades away, he tells Jaden that he's no longer a kid and in the English version, tells his brother that he will always be proud of him.

Footnotes

1. ^  "Rainbow Dark Dragon" has completely different summoning conditions in the TCG/OCG.
2. ^  In the TCG/OCG, "Cybernetic Hidden Technology" can only be activated by tributing "Cyber Dragon" or a Fusion Monster that lists "Cyber Dragon" as a Fusion Material, so "Cyber Laser Dragon" would not be a valid target.
3. ^  In the TCG/OCG, "Cyber Valley's" second effect can be activated by removing it and another monster from play, not it an any other card.
4. ^  In the TCG/OCG, "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon's" Fusion Materials must be sent from the field, and a fusion card is not necessary. In addition, it gains 1000 ATK for each monster used as a Fusion Material, but does not have it's damage negation or dealing effects.
5. ^  In the TCG/OCG, "Dimension Explosion" can only Summon two monsters per side, not as many as possible.
