Return of the Supreme King Part 1, known as Confrontation of the Chosen Cards! Elemental Heroes VS Yubel in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and fifty-third episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Jaden Yuki begins his final confrontation with Yubel. More of the past history between the two is revealed as Yubel thwarts most of Jaden's moves.

Summary

Jaden Yuki has finally rescued Jesse Anderson from Yubel. Jaden demands that Yubel stops involving his friends in this, and Yubel responds that they will have one final duel. She flies up into the dark clouds above, telling Jaden she'll be waiting. Jesse regrets that he will not be able to fight alongside Jaden, as he is still weak in his current state. Instead, he gives Jaden his Deck. Jaden departs, and again has flashbacks to his duel with Osamu. Yubel again blames Jaden for sending her into space, with Jaden responding that he did so hoping that he mind would be healed by the same waves that helped create the Neo-Spacians. Yubel responds that that did not happen - instead, she was exposed to The Light of Destruction which granted her new powers, but Jaden concludes it also adversely affected her mind. Yubel was able to psychicly reach out to Jaden from space, but this only resulted in giving him nightmares. Worried, his parents arranged for him to have a medical procedure done that would render his memories of her dormant.

Yubel concludes that Jaden's ignoring her was just his form of showing her love. With that in her mind, she set out to return his love in the same way - by making him suffer, thus why she orchestrated the fall of all of his friends. At this point, Syrus Truesdale and Ojama Yellow follow Jdaen. During the duel, Yubel summons herself, and unlike other instances of a duel spirit summoning their own card, she does not move to the field. Instead, a second copy of her, lacking her duel disk, appears. Yubel uses her own card to inflict damage to Jaden, while gathering resources using "Spell Chronicle". Syrus and Ojama Yellow arrive, and inform Jaden that their friends are not dead. They spoke to Chazz Princeton, who revealed that they were sent to another alternate dimension and sealed there, as Yubel used their energies to increase her own strength. Syrus urges Jaden to take Bastion Misawa's previous advice - he must master the power of The Supreme King and become his complete self.

Featured Duel

Yubel's Turn

• Summons "Samsara Lotus" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in attack position and Sets a card.
• Activates "Spell Chronicle". Now she can take 5 cards from her Deck and remove them from play. She chooses "Zero Sprite", "Fiend Rose", "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Grinder Golem", and "Super Polymerization". For every two Spell Cards her opponent activates, she can allow him to choose one of the cards she removed from play, and it will return to her hand.^[1]

Jaden's Turn

• Activates "Polymerization", which enables his Elemental Heroes "Avian" and "Burstinatrix" to fuse into "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100 ATK / 1200 DEF) in attack position. "Spell Chronicle" gains a Chronicle Counter.
• Attacks and destroys "Samsara Lotus" with "Flame Wingman", but Yubel responds with her face-down card, "Sinister Seeds", which allows her the Special Summon of a "Sinister Seed Token" for every 1000 points of damage she would have received from "Flame Wingman's" attack and negate the damage. 2 Seed Tokens are summoned (0 ATK / 0 DEF each) and the leftover damage (100 Life Points) is dealt to her. (Yubel: 3900 LP)^[2]
• Sets a card.

Yubel's Turn

• Tributes her "Seed Tokens" to summon "Regenerating Rose" (0 ATK / 1500 DEF) in attack position and attacks "Flame Wingman" with it, activating its effect: its ATK becomes the ATK of an attack position monster it battles. Since it is targeting "Flame Wingman", who has 2100 ATK, its ATK also becomes 2100.^[3]
• Jaden activates "De-Fusion", changing "Flame Wingman" back into its Fusion Material Monsters—Elemental Heroes "Avian" (1000 ATK / 1000 DEF) and "Burstinatrix" (1200 ATK / 800 DEF)—who return to the field in defense position.
• Since her "Rose's" effect only activates while the monster it's battling is in attack position, its ATK drops back to 0, and Yubel cancels her attack, but now, her "Spell Chronicle" gains another Chronicle Counter due to the activation of "De-Fusion".
• Activates the effect of her "Spell Chronicle", removing the 2 Chronicle Counters from the card. Yubel reveals the five cards she removed from play and Jaden chooses "Zero Sprite" to add to Yubel's hand.

Jaden's Turn

• Summons "Elemental Hero Sparkman" (1600 ATK / 1400 DEF) in attack position and equips him with "Spark Blaster". "Spell Chronicle" a Chronicle Counter.
• "Spark Blaster" allows the equipped "Sparkman" to switch the position of any face-up monster to its opposite position. After this effect is used 3 times, "Spark Blaster" is destroyed; Jaden uses it to switch "Regenerating Rose" to defense position.
• "Sparkman" attacks and destroys "Regenerating Rose", but now, 2 "Regenerating Rose Tokens" (1200 ATK / 800 DEF each) are summoned in its place

Yubel's Turn

• Yubel Sets a card and then tributes her 2 "Regenerating Rose Tokens" to summon "Yubel" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in attack position.
• Attacks "Sparkman" with "Yubel", activating it's effect; it is not destroyed in battle, and Jaden receives the Battle Damage she would have taken. (Jaden: 2400 LP)^[4]
• Since "Samsara Lotus" is in her Graveyard, she can activates its effect and summons it back to the field (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in defense position. If Yubel does not tribute another monster, her "Yubel" on the field will be destroyed, so she tributes "Samsara Lotus".^[5]

Jaden's Turn

• Switches "Sparkman" to defense position and Sets a card

Yubel's Turn

• Attacks "Sparkman" with "Yubel", but Jaden activates "Hero Barrier" to negate the attack.
• Activates her face-down "Zero Sprite" , equipping it to "Yubel". "Zero Sprite" reduces the ATK of the equipped monster to 0 , but now, "Yubel" can attack once again in a row.
• Attacks "Sparkman" with "Yubel", activating its effect. Since "Sparkman" was in defense position, its original DEF is dealt to Jaden as damage.
• Since "Samsara Lotus" is still in her Graveyard, she activates its effect and summons it back to the field (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in defense position. Then she tributes it to keep "Yubel" on the field.

Duel continues in the next episode.
