Jaden and the others have finished their graduation album. When Crowler previews it, it causes him to act strange and force the students to do weird things. When he wouldn't show up to his lessons, the students chased him around to school to know why he acted so odd. He revealed to them that he didn't want any of them to leave, and thus wanted them to not take enough classes to graduate. Jaden challenges him to a duel. Crowler loses in a fashion directly recalling his first duel with Jaden, and returns to his normal self and everyone is happy, or at least Jaden will be as soon as he's finished all the work he didn't do over the last three years he skipped in favour of dueling.

'''"Thank-You Duel! Cronos Versus the Original Drop-Out Boy"''' is the one hundred and sixty-seventh episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. It first aired in Japan on December 26, 2007.

==Summary==
 +
[[Tyranno Hassleberry|Hassleberry]] and [[Blair Flannigan|Blair]] have finished the graduation album photos and hand the [[Wikipedia:USB flash drive|flash drive]] containing them to [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]]. He previews the photos, and privately seems upset that everyone is growing up and leaving [[Duel Academy]]. Meanwhile, [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] has been skipping classes again, and Hassleberry and Blair inform him that Crowler's manner has changed. He chastises the third year students, making them do tests in basic math to ensure they can calculate [[Life Points]], write [[Wikipedia:Kanji|Chinese text]] to understand [[card effect]]s, and even makes them do [[Wikipedia:Press-up|push-ups]]. He then begins canceling classes, and the students begin to fear that they won't have sufficient grades to graduate if he keeps doing so.
  
−
===Crowler's Turn===
+
Crowler goes to great lengths to hide from his students, and this ultimately results in a chase across the Academy, even leading them through [[Chancellor Sheppard]]'s office. They finally corner him, and he states he won't allow them to graduate. Jaden asks why, and Crowler reveals that Jaden himself does not have sufficient points to graduate and even calls him "drop-out boy", something he hadn't done in long time (This expression is changed to "Slifer Slacker" in the dub). Jaden challenges Crowler to a Duel, and the latter accepts, with him promising to allow everyone to graduate should Jaden defeat him.

*[[Normal Summon|Summons]] "[[Ancient Gear Soldier]]" ([[1300 ATK Monster Cards|1300 ATK]] / [[1300 DEF Monster Cards|1300 DEF]]) in [[Defense Position]] and [[Set|sets]] a card.

===Jaden's Turn===
+
Jaden Summons "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (later anime)|Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" in his first turn. Crowler expects this, and [[remove from play|removes from play]] "Flame Wingman" using his "[[Unfinished Time Box]]" [[Trap Card]] when "Flame Wingman" destroys his "[[Ancient Gear Soldier (anime)|Ancient Gear Soldier]]". He then successfully Summons 3 "[[Ancient Gear Golem (later anime)|Ancient Gear Golems]]" and reduces Jaden's [[Life Points]] to 200, thanks to their [[Piercing]] effects. Jaden comments that Crowler is a great teacher, and thanks him for showing him such an awesome combo. He strikes back using "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" and "[[Instant Neo Space (later anime)|Instant Neo Space]]". At this point, Crowler breaks down crying, and reveals that he doesn't want the seniors to graduate as he will miss them. Many of the students even begin cheering for Crowler, telling him not to give up. Crowler unveils his most powerful monster - "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem (anime)|Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]", with an attack of 4400. Despite being reduced 100 Life Points, Jaden still appears optimistic, and Crowler himself wishes to see how Jaden will turn the situation around and defeat him.
−
*Activates "[[Polymerization]]" and fuses his [[Elemental Heroes]] "[[Elemental Hero Avian|Avian]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix|Burstinatrix]]" (from his hand) to form "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" ([[2100 ATK Monster Cards|2100 ATK]] / [[1200 DEF Monster Cards|1200 DEF]]), who appears in [[Attack Position]] and [[attack|attacks]] and [[destroy|destroys]] "[[Ancient Gear Soldier]]". This activates "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman's]]" [[Effect Damage|Burn]] effect, as [[Crowler]] now takes [[Effect damage|damage]] equal to the [[ATK]] of the [[monster]] that "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman]]" destroyed.  (Crowler: 4000 → 2700 LP)
 
−
*[[Crowler]] activates "[[Time Box]]". Since a [[monster]] he controlled was [[destroyed by battle|destroyed in battle]], he can [[removed from play|remove]] the [[monster]] that [[destroy|destroyed]] it [[removed from play|from play]], and it stays [[removed from play|out of play]] while "[[Time Box]]" is [[face-up]] on the [[field]]. "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman]]" is [[removed from play]], and [[Crowler]] can also [[draw a card|draw 1 card]], thanks to "[[Time Box|Time Box's]]" secondary effect.
 
−
*[[Jaden]] summons "[[Elemental Hero Clayman]]" in [[Defense Position]] ([[800 ATK Monster Cards|800 ATK]] / [[2000 DEF Monster Cards|2000 DEF]]) and ends his turn.

===Crowler's Turn===
+
Jaden shows him just that, by freeing his "Flame Wingman" from "Unfinished Time Box" with a combination of "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Air Neos]]" and "[[Cyclone Wing]]". He activates "[[Demise of the Land (anime)|Demise of the Land]]", which lets him activate "[[Skyscraper (later anime)|Skyscraper]]" in the middle of his [[Battle Phase]], and destroying Crowler's "Ancient Gear Golem" with "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman", winning this Duel the same way he won their [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 001|first Duel]]. Crowler comments that he's learned just as many things from his students as they've hopefully learned from him. He realizes that he need to move forward as a teacher, much like the graduates. With this, Crowler begins teaching classes again, but forces Jaden to do all the work he's missed in his skipped classes.
−
*Activates "[[Crazy Summon Gear]]", selecting [[Jaden|Jaden's]] "[[Elemental Hero Clayman|Clayman]]" for its effect.  Now [[Jaden]] must [[Special Summon|summon]] 2 more [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]] [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] [[Monster|monsters]] from his [[Deck]].  In addition, [[Crowler]] can [[Special Summon]] an "[[Ancient Gears|Ancient Gear]]" [[monster]] with 1500 or less [[ATK]] from his [[Graveyard]], as well as every other "[[Ancient Gears|Ancient Gear]]" [[monster]] with the same name as the [[Special Summon|summoned]] [[monster]] from his [[hand]], [[Deck]], and [[Graveyard]].  [[Jaden]] [[Special Summon|summons]] "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman|Sparkman]]" ([[1600 ATK Monster Cards|1600 ATK]] / [[1400 DEF Monster Cards|1400 DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]] and "[[Elemental Hero Wildheart|Wildheart]]" ([[1500 ATK Monster Cards|1500 ATK]] / [[1600 DEF Monster Cards|1600 DEF]]) in [[Defense Position]], while [[Crowler]] [[Special Summons from your Graveyard|summons]] his "[[Ancient Gear Soldier]]" ([[1300 ATK Monster Cards|1300 ATK]] / [[1300 DEF Monster Cards|1300 DEF]]) [[Special Summons from your Graveyard|from his Graveyard]], as well as every other "[[Ancient Gear Soldier]]" [[Special Summons from your hand|from his hand]] and [[Special Summons from your Deck|Deck]].
 
−
*Activates "[[Spell Gear]]", which allows him to send 3 "[[Ancient Gears|Ancient Gear]]" [[monster|monsters]] he [[control|controls]] on the [[field]] to the [[Graveyard]].  In exchange, as his 3 "[[Ancient Gear Soldier|Ancient Gear Soldiers]]" disappear from the field, [[Crowler]] can now [[Special Summon]] up to 3 "[[Ancient Gear Golem|Ancient Gear Golems]]" ([[3000 ATK Monster Cards|3000 ATK]] / [[3000 DEF Monster Cards|3000 DEF]] each) [[Special Summons from your Deck|from his Deck]] and [[Special Summons from your hand|hand]], [[Ignoring the Summoning Conditions|ignoring the summoning conditions]] (since "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]" normally cannot be [[Special Summon|Special Summoned]]).
 
−
:*(NOTE: In the real game, "[[Spell Gear]]" only allows up to 2 "[[Ancient Gear Golem|Ancient Gear Golems]]" to be [[Special Summon|Special Summoned]]—1 [[Special Summons from your Deck|from your Deck]] and 1 [[Special Summons from your hand|from your hand]]—and you can send any 3 cards you [[control]] to the [[Graveyard]] for its cost, as long as "[[Ancient Gears|Ancient Gear]]" is in the card name.)
 
−
*The 3 "[[Ancient Gear Golem|Ancient Gear Golems]]" [[attack]] and [[destroy]] [[Jaden|Jaden's]]  "[[Elemental Hero Clayman|Clayman]]", "[[Elemental Hero Wildheart|Wildheart]]", and "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman|Sparkman]]", and [[Jaden]] takes [[Battle Damage|damage]] from all 3 [[attack|attacks]], due to the [[Ancient Gear Golem|Golems']] [[piercing]] effects (Jaden: 4000 → 3000 → 1600 → 200 LP).
 
−
*Then, [[Crowler]] [[Set|sets]] a card to end his turn.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
===Jaden's Turn===
+
==Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Vellian Crowler==
−
*Sends the top 5 cards on his [[Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]] to activate "[[Take Over 5]]" (which are "[[Elemental Hero Necroshade]]", "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab]]", "[[Necro Gardna]]", and "[[Hero Signal]]").  On his next turn, he can [[removed from play|remove]] it to [[draw a card|draw 1 card]] from his [[Deck]].  Also, while "[[Take Over 5]]" is in his [[Graveyard]], he can [[negate]] all [[card effects]] that would send cards from his [[Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]].
+
<u>'''Turn 1: Crowler'''</u><br />
−
*Activates "[[Miracle Contact]]", which enables [[Jaden]] to [[Special Summon]] a "[[Neos]]" [[Fusion Monster]] by accessing his [[field]] and [[Graveyard]] for the appropriate [[Fusion Material Monsters]] and returning them to his [[Deck]].  "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]" and "[[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab]]" return from his [[Graveyard]] to his [[Deck]] and [[Contact Fusion|Contact Fuse]] into "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" ([[2500 ATK Monster Cards|2500 ATK]] / [[2000 DEF Monster Cards|2000 DEF]]), who appears in [[Attack Position]].
+
Crowler draws "Unfinished Time Box". He then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Ancient Gear Soldier (anime)|Ancient Gear Soldier]]" (1300/1300) in [[Defense Position]] and [[Set]]s a card.
−
*[[Equip|Equips]] "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]" with "[[Instant Neo Space]]", allowing it to remain on the [[field]] instead of returning to [[Jaden|Jaden's]] [[Deck]] during the [[End Phase]].  Also, if "[[Instant Neo Space]]" is removed from the field while [[equipped]] to a "[[Neos]]" [[Fusion Monster]] that includes "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]" as one of its [[Fusion Material Monsters]], the original "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]" will be [[Special Summon|summoned]] in that [[monster|monster's]] place.
 
−
*"[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]" gains 400 additional [[ATK]] for every [[Spell]] and [[Trap]] on the field. and there are currently 3—"[[Time Box]]", "[[Instant Neo Space]]" and [[Crowler|Crowler's]] [[Set|set]] card. ("[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Elemental Hero Flare Neos's]]" [[ATK]]: 3700)
 
−
*"[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]" [[attack|attacks]] and [[destroy|destroys]] one of the "[[Ancient Gear Golem|Ancient Gear Golems]]" (Crowler: 2700 → 2000 LP).
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
===Crowler's Turn===
+
<u>'''Turn 2: Jaden'''</u><br />
−
*Activates "[[Ancient Gear Workshop]]", which lets him return an "[[Ancient Gears|Ancient Gear]]" [[monster]] from his [[Graveyard]] to his [[hand]].  He retrieves his recently destroyed "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]".
+
Jaden draws "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" and subsequently activates it to fuse "[[Elemental Hero Avian (anime)|Elemental Hero Avian]]" with "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental Hero Burstinatrix]]" in order to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (later anime)|Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" (2100/1200) in [[Attack Position]]. "Flame Wingman" attacks and destroys "Ancient Gear Soldier". Since "Flame Wingman" destroyed a monster by battle and sent it to the Graveyard, Crowler takes [[effect damage|damage]] equal to his destroyed monster's [[ATK]] (Crowler 4000 → 2700). Crowler then activates his face-down "[[Unfinished Time Box]]" to [[banish|remove from play]] "Flame Wingman" and draw one card ("[[Ancient Gear Golem (later anime)|Ancient Gear Golem]]"). Jaden Normal Summons "[[Elemental Hero Clayman (anime)|Elemental Hero Clayman]]" (800/2000) in [[Defense Position]].
−
*Then, he activates "[[Polymerization]]" and fuses the 2 "[[Ancient Gear Golem|Ancient Gear Golems]]" on the [[field]] and the one in his [[hand]] into "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" ([[4400 ATK Monster Cards|4400 ATK]] / [[3400 DEF Monster Cards|3400 DEF]]), who appears in [[Attack Position]].
 
−
:*(NOTE: This is possible in the real game, but "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" can be [[Fusion Summon|summoned]] with the original "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]" and 2 other "[[Ancient Gears|Ancient Gear]]" monsters, and neither one necessarily needs to be an "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]".)
 
−
*"[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" [[attack|attacks]] "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]".  However, "[[Necro Gardna]]" is currently in [[Jaden|Jaden's]] [[Graveyard]], and he [[removed from play|removes]] it [[removed from play|from play]] to cancel the [[attack]].
 
−
*But then, [[Crowler]] activates "[[Desperado Battle]]", which targets "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]".  Since it had recently [[attack|attacked]] during [[Crowler|Crowler's]] [[Battle Phase]], "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" will lose 1000 [[ATK]] ("[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem|Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem's]]" [[ATK]]: 3400), but now, it can [[attack]] "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]" again, and with "[[Desperado Battle]]" now in the [[Graveyard]], "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]" loses 400 [[ATK]] ("[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Elemental Hero Flare Neos's]]" [[ATK]]: 3300), which allows "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" to destroy it.  (Jaden: 200 → 100 LP)
 
−
*Fortunately for [[Jaden]], "[[Instant Neo Space]]" was still [[equipped]] to "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos|Flare Neos]]" when it was [[destroyed]], and now that that [[Spell Card]] has been removed from the field, its effect activates and lets [[Jaden]] [[Special Summon|summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]" ([[2500 ATK Monster Cards|2500 ATK]] / [[2000 DEF Monster Cards|2000 DEF]]) in its place.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
===Jaden's Turn===
+
<u>'''Turn 3: Crowler'''</u><br />
−
*[[Removed from play|Removes]] "[[Take Over 5]]" in his [[Graveyard]] [[Removed from play|from play]] to [[draw a card]].
+
Crowler draws. He then activates "[[Crazy Summon Gear]]" to target "Clayman" and the "Ancient Gear Soldier" in his Graveyard and force Jaden to Special Summon two monsters from his Deck with the same type as "Clayman" while Crowler can Special Summon all monsters with the same name as the targeted monster in his Graveyard. Jaden Special Summons "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman (anime)|Elemental Hero Sparkman]]" (1600/1400) in Attack Position and "[[Elemental Hero Wildheart (anime)|Elemental Hero Wildheart]]" (1500/1600) in [[Defense Position]], while Crowler revives "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300/1300) from his [[Graveyard]] in Attack Position and Special Summons two more "Ancient Gear Soldiers" from his Deck in Attack Position.
−
*Activates "[[Fifth Hope]]" and shuffles [[Elemental Heroes]] "[[Elemental Hero Avian|Avian]]", "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix|Burstinatrix]]", "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman|Sparkman]]", "[[Elemental Hero Clayman|Clayman]]", and "[[Elemental Hero Wildheart|Wildheart]]" from his [[Graveyard]] back into his [[Deck]]. In exchange, he can [[draw a card|draw 2 new cards]].
+
 
−
*[[Normal Summon|Summons]] his "[[Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird]]" ([[800 ATK Monster Cards|800 ATK]] / [[600 DEF Monster Cards|600 DEF]]) and [[Contact Fusion|Contact Fuses]] him with "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]" to [[Special Summon|summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos]]" ([[2500 ATK Monster Cards|2500 ATK]] / [[2000 DEF Monster Cards|2000 DEF]]).
+
[[File:3AncientGearGolems Crowler.png|left|200px|thumb|[[Vellian Crowler|Crowler]] with three "[[Ancient Gear Golem (later anime)|Ancient Gear Golem]]s".]]
−
*Because [[Jaden]] has fewer [[Life Points]] than [[Crowler]], "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos|Air Neos]]" gains [[ATK]] equal to the difference, which is 1900 ("[[Elemental Hero Air Neos|Elemental Hero Air Neos's]]" [[ATK]]: 4400).
+
Crowler then activates "[[Spell Gear (anime)|Spell Gear]]" to send his three "Ancient Gear Soldiers" to the Graveyard and Special Summon two "Ancient Gear Golems" (3000/3000) from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] and one "Ancient Gear Golem from his [[hand]] in Attack Position, ignoring the [[summoning conditions]]. The three "Ancient Gear Golems" attack and destroy "Clayman", "Wildheart", and "Sparkman". Two of the "Ancient Gear Golems" then inflict piercing damage to Jaden (Jaden 4000 → 3000 → 1600 → 200). Crowler sets a card.
−
*[[Equip|Equips]] "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos|Air Neos]]" with "[[Cyclone Wing]]", and sends "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos|Air Neos]]" in to [[attack]] [[Crowler|Crowler's]] "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]", but since "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos|Air Neos's]]" [[ATK]] is equal to that of [[Crowler|Crowler's]] "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]", it causes a [[Double KO]].
+
 
−
*But, since "[[Cyclone Wing]]" was [[equipped]] to "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos|Air Neos]]" during [[Jaden|Jaden's]] [[Battle Phase]], [[Jaden]] can [[destroy]] 1 [[Spell]] or [[Trap]] on the [[field]]. He targets "[[Time Box]]", and as it is destroyed, "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" returns to the field ([[2100 ATK Monster Cards|2100 ATK]] / [[1200 DEF Monster Cards|1200 DEF]]) and under his control.
+
<u>'''Turn 4: Jaden'''</u><br />
−
*Meanwhile, "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" also has an effect when it is [[destroy|destroyed]]: Now, [[Crowler]] can [[Special Summons from your Graveyard|re-summon]] an "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]" ([[3000 ATK Monster Cards|3000 ATK]] / [[3000 DEF Monster Cards|3000 DEF]]) [[Special Summons from your Graveyard|from his Graveyard]], [[Ignoring the Summoning Conditions|ignoring the summoning conditions]].
+
Jaden draws "[[Take Over Five]]" and subsequently activates it by sending the top five cards of his Deck ("[[Elemental Hero Necroshade (anime)|Elemental Hero Necroshade]]", "[[Elemental Hero Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Neos]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (anime)|Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab]]", "[[Necro Gardna (anime)|Necro Gardna]]" and "[[Hero Signal (later anime)|Hero Signal]]") to the Graveyard. While "Take Over Five" is in Jaden's Graveyard, he is immune to effects that send cards from his Deck to the Graveyard. Jaden then activates "[[Miracle Contact (anime)|Miracle Contact]]" to return "Elemental Hero Neos" and "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" from his Graveyard to his Deck and [[Special Summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" (2500/2000) in Attack Position.  
−
:*(NOTE: With those two monsters back on the field, this duel becomes shockingly reminiscent of Jaden's [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 001|entrance exam]].)
+
 
−
*Since [[Crowler]] successfully [[Special Summon|Special Summoned]] a [[monster]], [[Jaden]] can activate "[[Demise of the Land]]", which allows him the activation of a [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] from his [[Deck]].  He activates "[[Skyscraper]]" and attacks "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]" with "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman]]", who gains 1000 [[ATK]] from "[[Skyscraper]]"—since "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]" is stronger than "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman]]". ("[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's]]" [[ATK]]: 3100)
+
Jaden then activates "[[Instant Neo Space (later anime)|Instant Neo Space]]" and equips it to "Flare Neos". Now "Flare Neos" does not have to return to Jaden's Fusion Deck during the End Phase due to its own effect. Due to the effect of "Flare Neos", it gains 400 ATK for each Spell and Trap Card on the field and there are currently three ("Flare Neos": 2500 → 3700/2000). "Flare Neos" attacks and destroys one of Crowler's "Ancient Gear Golems" (Crowler 2700 → 2000).
−
*"[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman]]" destroys "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]" (Crowler: 2000 → 1900 LP), and again, its [[Effect Damage|Burn]] effect activates: Now [[Crowler]] takes [[Effect damage|damage]] equal to the [[ATK]] of the [[monster]] "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman|Flame Wingman]]" destroyed (Crowler: 1900 → 0 LP).  [[Jaden]] wins the [[Duel]].
+
 
 +
<u>'''Turn 5: Crowler'''</u><br />
 +
Crowler draws. He then activates "[[Ancient Gear Workshop (anime)|Ancient Gear Workshop]]" to return the "Ancient Gear Golem" in his Graveyard to his hand. He then activates "Polymerization" to fuse the "Ancient Gear Golem" in his hand and the other 2 on his field together in order to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem (anime)|Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]]" (4400/3400) in Attack Position. "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" attacks "Flare Neos", but Jaden removes from play "Necro Gardna" from his Graveyard via its own effect to [[negate]] the attack.
 +
 
 +
Crowler activates his face-down "[[Desperate Battle]]" to reduce the ATK of "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" by 1000 ("Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem": 4400 → 3400/3400) and allow it to attack again ("Flare Neos": 3700 → 3300/2000). "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" attacks and destroys "Flare Neos" (Jaden 200 → 100). The last effect of "Instant Neo Space" then activates, letting Jaden [[Special Summon]] "Elemental Hero Neos" (2500/2000) from his Deck in Attack Position. On Crowler's End Phase, the effect of "Desperate Battle" expires ("Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem": 3400 → 4400/3400).
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Turn 6: Jaden'''</u><br />
 +
Jaden draws "Demise of the Land". During Jaden's [[Standby Phase]], he removes from play "Take Over Five" from his Graveyard in order to draw a card ("[[Fifth Hope (anime)|Fifth Hope]]"). He then activates "Fifth Hope" to return "Avian", "Burstinatrix", "Sparkman", "Clayman" and "Wildheart" from his Graveyard to his Deck and draw two cards ("[[Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (anime)|Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird]]" and "Cyclone Wing").
 +
 
 +
Jaden then Normal Summons "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird" (800/600) in Attack Position. He then Contact Fuses "Neos" with "Air Hummingbird" in order to Special Summon "[[Elemental Hero Air Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Air Neos]]" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Since Jaden's [[Life Points]] are lower than Crowler's, "Air Neos" gains [[ATK]] equal to the difference due to its own effect ("Elemental HERO Air Neos": 2500 → 4400/2000). Jaden then activates "[[Cyclone Wing]]" and equips it to "Air Neos". Now when "Air Neos" attacks, one [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card|Trap]] on the opponent's side of the field can be destroyed.
 +
 
 +
"Air Neos" attacks "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem". Jaden activates the effect of "Cyclone Wing" to destroy "Unfinished Time Box". The final effect of "Unfinished Time Box" then activates, returning "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) to Jaden's side of the field in Attack Position. "Air Neos" and "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" then destroy each other in a [[Double KO]]. Crowler then activates the final effect of "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" to Special Summon "Ancient Gear Golem" (3000/3000) from his Graveyard in Attack Position, ignoring the Summoning conditions.
 +
 
 +
Jaden activates "[[Demise of the Land (anime)|Demise of the Land]]" to activate "[[Skyscraper (later anime)|Skyscraper]]" from his Deck. Now if an Elemental Hero attacks, it will gain 1000 ATK during damage calculation only. "Flame Wingman" attacks "Ancient Gear Golem". The effect of "Skyscraper" activates ("Flame Wingman": 2100 → 3100/1200). "Flame Wingman" destroys "Ancient Gear Golem" (Crowler 2000 → 1900). The effect of "Flame Wingman" activates (Crowler 1900 → 0).

"Thank-You Duel! Cronos Versus the Original Drop-Out Boy" is the one hundred and sixty-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on December 26, 2007.

With graduation approaching, Dr. Crowler begins to revert to his old ways, and Jaden Duels him to find out why.

Summary[edit]

Hassleberry and Blair have finished the graduation album photos and hand the flash drive containing them to Dr. Crowler. He previews the photos, and privately seems upset that everyone is growing up and leaving Duel Academy. Meanwhile, Jaden has been skipping classes again, and Hassleberry and Blair inform him that Crowler's manner has changed. He chastises the third year students, making them do tests in basic math to ensure they can calculate Life Points, write Chinese text to understand card effects, and even makes them do push-ups. He then begins canceling classes, and the students begin to fear that they won't have sufficient grades to graduate if he keeps doing so.

Crowler goes to great lengths to hide from his students, and this ultimately results in a chase across the Academy, even leading them through Chancellor Sheppard's office. They finally corner him, and he states he won't allow them to graduate. Jaden asks why, and Crowler reveals that Jaden himself does not have sufficient points to graduate and even calls him "drop-out boy", something he hadn't done in long time (This expression is changed to "Slifer Slacker" in the dub). Jaden challenges Crowler to a Duel, and the latter accepts, with him promising to allow everyone to graduate should Jaden defeat him.

Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" in his first turn. Crowler expects this, and removes from play "Flame Wingman" using his "Unfinished Time Box" Trap Card when "Flame Wingman" destroys his "Ancient Gear Soldier". He then successfully Summons 3 "Ancient Gear Golems" and reduces Jaden's Life Points to 200, thanks to their Piercing effects. Jaden comments that Crowler is a great teacher, and thanks him for showing him such an awesome combo. He strikes back using "Elemental Hero Flare Neos" and "Instant Neo Space". At this point, Crowler breaks down crying, and reveals that he doesn't want the seniors to graduate as he will miss them. Many of the students even begin cheering for Crowler, telling him not to give up. Crowler unveils his most powerful monster - "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem", with an attack of 4400. Despite being reduced 100 Life Points, Jaden still appears optimistic, and Crowler himself wishes to see how Jaden will turn the situation around and defeat him.

Jaden shows him just that, by freeing his "Flame Wingman" from "Unfinished Time Box" with a combination of "Elemental Hero Air Neos" and "Cyclone Wing". He activates "Demise of the Land", which lets him activate "Skyscraper" in the middle of his Battle Phase, and destroying Crowler's "Ancient Gear Golem" with "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman", winning this Duel the same way he won their first Duel. Crowler comments that he's learned just as many things from his students as they've hopefully learned from him. He realizes that he need to move forward as a teacher, much like the graduates. With this, Crowler begins teaching classes again, but forces Jaden to do all the work he's missed in his skipped classes.

Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Vellian Crowler[edit]

Turn 1: Crowler
Crowler draws "Unfinished Time Box". He then Normal Summons "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300/1300) in Defense Position and Sets a card.

Turn 2: Jaden
Jaden draws "Polymerization" and subsequently activates it to fuse "Elemental Hero Avian" with "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" in order to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. "Flame Wingman" attacks and destroys "Ancient Gear Soldier". Since "Flame Wingman" destroyed a monster by battle and sent it to the Graveyard, Crowler takes damage equal to his destroyed monster's ATK (Crowler 4000 → 2700). Crowler then activates his face-down "Unfinished Time Box" to remove from play "Flame Wingman" and draw one card ("Ancient Gear Golem"). Jaden Normal Summons "Elemental Hero Clayman" (800/2000) in Defense Position.

Turn 3: Crowler
Crowler draws. He then activates "Crazy Summon Gear" to target "Clayman" and the "Ancient Gear Soldier" in his Graveyard and force Jaden to Special Summon two monsters from his Deck with the same type as "Clayman" while Crowler can Special Summon all monsters with the same name as the targeted monster in his Graveyard. Jaden Special Summons "Elemental Hero Sparkman" (1600/1400) in Attack Position and "Elemental Hero Wildheart" (1500/1600) in Defense Position, while Crowler revives "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300/1300) from his Graveyard in Attack Position and Special Summons two more "Ancient Gear Soldiers" from his Deck in Attack Position.

Crowler with three "Ancient Gear Golems".

Crowler then activates "Spell Gear" to send his three "Ancient Gear Soldiers" to the Graveyard and Special Summon two "Ancient Gear Golems" (3000/3000) from his Deck and one "Ancient Gear Golem from his hand in Attack Position, ignoring the summoning conditions. The three "Ancient Gear Golems" attack and destroy "Clayman", "Wildheart", and "Sparkman". Two of the "Ancient Gear Golems" then inflict piercing damage to Jaden (Jaden 4000 → 3000 → 1600 → 200). Crowler sets a card.

Turn 4: Jaden
Jaden draws "Take Over Five" and subsequently activates it by sending the top five cards of his Deck ("Elemental Hero Necroshade", "Elemental Hero Neos", "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab", "Necro Gardna" and "Hero Signal") to the Graveyard. While "Take Over Five" is in Jaden's Graveyard, he is immune to effects that send cards from his Deck to the Graveyard. Jaden then activates "Miracle Contact" to return "Elemental Hero Neos" and "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" from his Graveyard to his Deck and Special Summon "Elemental Hero Flare Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position.

Jaden then activates "Instant Neo Space" and equips it to "Flare Neos". Now "Flare Neos" does not have to return to Jaden's Fusion Deck during the End Phase due to its own effect. Due to the effect of "Flare Neos", it gains 400 ATK for each Spell and Trap Card on the field and there are currently three ("Flare Neos": 2500 → 3700/2000). "Flare Neos" attacks and destroys one of Crowler's "Ancient Gear Golems" (Crowler 2700 → 2000).

Turn 5: Crowler
Crowler draws. He then activates "Ancient Gear Workshop" to return the "Ancient Gear Golem" in his Graveyard to his hand. He then activates "Polymerization" to fuse the "Ancient Gear Golem" in his hand and the other 2 on his field together in order to Fusion Summon "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" (4400/3400) in Attack Position. "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" attacks "Flare Neos", but Jaden removes from play "Necro Gardna" from his Graveyard via its own effect to negate the attack.

Crowler activates his face-down "Desperate Battle" to reduce the ATK of "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" by 1000 ("Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem": 4400 → 3400/3400) and allow it to attack again ("Flare Neos": 3700 → 3300/2000). "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" attacks and destroys "Flare Neos" (Jaden 200 → 100). The last effect of "Instant Neo Space" then activates, letting Jaden Special Summon "Elemental Hero Neos" (2500/2000) from his Deck in Attack Position. On Crowler's End Phase, the effect of "Desperate Battle" expires ("Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem": 3400 → 4400/3400).

Turn 6: Jaden
Jaden draws "Demise of the Land". During Jaden's Standby Phase, he removes from play "Take Over Five" from his Graveyard in order to draw a card ("Fifth Hope"). He then activates "Fifth Hope" to return "Avian", "Burstinatrix", "Sparkman", "Clayman" and "Wildheart" from his Graveyard to his Deck and draw two cards ("Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird" and "Cyclone Wing").

Jaden then Normal Summons "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird" (800/600) in Attack Position. He then Contact Fuses "Neos" with "Air Hummingbird" in order to Special Summon "Elemental Hero Air Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Since Jaden's Life Points are lower than Crowler's, "Air Neos" gains ATK equal to the difference due to its own effect ("Elemental HERO Air Neos": 2500 → 4400/2000). Jaden then activates "Cyclone Wing" and equips it to "Air Neos". Now when "Air Neos" attacks, one Spell/Trap on the opponent's side of the field can be destroyed.

"Air Neos" attacks "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem". Jaden activates the effect of "Cyclone Wing" to destroy "Unfinished Time Box". The final effect of "Unfinished Time Box" then activates, returning "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) to Jaden's side of the field in Attack Position. "Air Neos" and "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" then destroy each other in a Double KO. Crowler then activates the final effect of "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" to Special Summon "Ancient Gear Golem" (3000/3000) from his Graveyard in Attack Position, ignoring the Summoning conditions.

Jaden activates "Demise of the Land" to activate "Skyscraper" from his Deck. Now if an Elemental Hero attacks, it will gain 1000 ATK during damage calculation only. "Flame Wingman" attacks "Ancient Gear Golem". The effect of "Skyscraper" activates ("Flame Wingman": 2100 → 3100/1200). "Flame Wingman" destroys "Ancient Gear Golem" (Crowler 2000 → 1900). The effect of "Flame Wingman" activates (Crowler 1900 → 0).
