'''"The Shadow Game Ends!!"''', known as '''"Duel of Darkness Conclusion!"''' in the Japanese version, is the thirty -seventh chapter chapter of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX '' manga]]. It was first printed in Japanese in the [[V Jump]] magazine and in English in the [[Shonen Jump]] magazine.
==Summary==
[[Reggie MacKenzie]] has Summoned "[[Splendid Venus|The Splendid Venus]]" in her duel against [[Midori Hibiki]]. She explains that it was one of the [[Legendary PlanetsPlanet]]s, like [[David Rabb]]'s "[[The Big Saturn]]" and [[Jaden Yuki]]'s "[[Elemental Hero Terra Firma]]". Reggie claims it's now time to end Midori's "lesson" and [[destroy]]s "[[Darklord Edeh Arae]]" with "Venus", leaving Midori with 1500 [[Life Points]]. Reggie [[Set]]s a card and Midori begins her turn. She recalls Reggie stating that if she loses the duel, she may collapse just like David and [[Koyo Hibiki|Koyo]], and will thus be unable to tell Midori anything about Koyo's condition. Reggie claims her [[face-down]] card is "[[Angelic Mercy]]", which would allow her to change the attack [[target]] when a [[Fairy]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monster]] is attacked. If "Venus" was attacked, Reggie would switch the target to "[[Zeriel]]", which would result in her loss. Midori Sets a card, prolonging the duel in an attempt to find out more about Koyo's condition.
Reggie knows she needs to hurry and finish the duel before Midori regains her wits. She [[activate]]s "[[Angel Sing]]", increasing the [[ATK]] of "Venus" by 300 for each Fairy-Type monster she [[control]]s, thus resulting in 3400 ATK. "Venus" destroys "[[Darklord Superbia]]", reducing Midori to 1000 Life Points. Midori realizes that if she keeps this up, Reggie will defeat her. Reggie is still confident that Midori is shaken enough by the "chains of Koyo" not to attack. She Summons "[[Darklord Ukoback]]" in [[Defense Position]], also switching "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" to Defense Position. Reggie knows that when humans are backed into a corner, they rely on instincts in order to preserve their own lives. She realizes that if she pushes too much, the "chains of Koyo" will break, and Midori will fight. Reggie [[equip]]s "Zeriel" with "[[Angel Bow]]", which will let it attack [[Direct attack|directly]] if Midori controls only Defense Position monsters.
[[Winged Kuriboh (character)|Winged Kuriboh]] is still leading Jaden through the [[Abandoned Dorm]], leaving the latter perplexed. Reggie orders "Venus" to destroy "Asmodeus", while "Zeriel" attacks directly, leaving Midori with 700 Life Points. Jaden finally makes it their location, and realizes he's witnessing another [[Shadow Duel]]. Reggie clarifies that Jaden will be up next after Midori loses. This spurs Midori to continue, determined to protect Jaden, remembering when she offered to be Jaden's big sister as he had no siblings of his own. Midori activates her face-down "[[Angel Fallen into Darkness]]", [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Ukoback" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Darklord Desire]]". She activates its effect, reducing its ATK by 2000 to destroy both of Reggie's monsters. Knowing that this means that "Angelic Mercy" cannot be used, she attacks
Reggie reveals that she lied. Her Set card was not "Angelic Mercy", but "[[Angel Tear]]". This lets her [[Removed from play|remove]] "Zeriel", "[[Tethys, Goddess of Light]]" and two "[[Holy Sacred Spirit Parmal]]s" in her Graveyard from play to Special Summon "Venus". She tells Midori that she's one turn too late. "Venus" becomes the new attack target, and Midori's Life Points reduce to zero. As Midori collapses, Reggie reveals that she has no idea how to awaken Koyo.
Elsewhere, [[Chazz Princeton]] and [[Zane Truesdale]] have arrived at the volcano dueling arena via helicopter for their duel. Then, at the American Duel Academy, the [[Principal MacKenzie|principal]] declares that he will be personally visiting [[Duel Academy]] and intends to have [[Jesse Anderson]], [[Adrian Gecko]], [[Jim Crocodile Cook]], [[Axel Brodie]] and [[Aster Phoenix]] accompany him.
Reggie [[equip]]s "[[Zeriel]]" with "[[Angel Bow]]", which will allow it to attack [[Direct attack|directly]] if Midori controls only Defense Position monsters. Reggie attacks and destroys "Asmodeus" with "Venus" and then attacks directly with "Zeriel" (Midori 700).
Midori activates her [[face-down]] "[[Angel Fallen into Darkness]]", [[send]]ing "Ukoback" to the [[Graveyard]] to [[Special Summon]] "[[Darklord Desire]]" (3000/2800) in [[Attack Position]].<ref group=Notes name=desire>In the TCG/OCG, "[[Darklord Desire]]" cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed.</ref> She activates "Desire's" effect, decreasing its ATK by 2000 to send "Venus" and "Zeriel" to the Graveyard.<ref group=Notes name=desire2>In the TCG/OCG, the [[effect]] of "Desire" may only be [[activate]]d once per turn.</ref> Midori attacks directly, but Reggie activates her face-down "[[Angel Tear]]", [[Removed from play|removing]] "Zeriel", "[[Tethys, Goddess of Light]]" and two "[[Holy Sacred Spirit Parmal]]s" in her Graveyard from play to Special Summon "Venus", who becomes the new attack [[target]] (Midori 0).
