{{Episode summary|[[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] continues his [[Duel]] with [[Titan]] to save [[Alexis Rhodes|Alexis]], and it's gradually revealed that Titan cannot really conduct [[Shadow Game]]s and uses illusions to fool his opponents. This angers spirits in the dorm, and a real Shadow Game actually does begin mid-Duel.}}

==Summary==
{{incomplete}}
[[Jaden Yuki]]'s Duel with [[Titan]] continues, with Jaden collapsing from the stress of the [[Shadow Game]]. He sees a bright light, and [[Winged Kuriboh (character)|Winged Kuriboh]] appears, showing him that the Shadow Game was a ruse. Titan was simply using hypnosis and mind games to make it appear that he was conducting a Shadow Game - but it was all just smoke and mirrors. Jaden utilizes the effect of "[[Dark Catapulter (anime)|Dark Catapulter]]" to destroy "[[Pandemonium (anime)|Pandemonium]]", revealing that what was being shown was not real. Jaden tells him to free [[Alexis Rhodes|Alexis]] and release the other children that had disappeared at the dorm. Titan replies that he doesn't know what Jaden is talking about. Jaden cracks Titan's [[Millennium Pendant (Titan's item)|faux]] [[Millennium Puzzle]] with "[[Elemental Hero Avian (anime)|Elemental Hero Avian]]" when he tries to activate it. Titan tries to leave as he had been found out, however Titan's actions that had led to the creation of a false Shadow Game have angered the spirits of the dorm. The [[Eye of Wdjat]] appears on the ground and Jaden and Titan find themselves surrounded in darkness, with small shadow creatures threatening to eat away at Titan. Winged Kuriboh protects Jaden.

Titan's eyes glow red, indicating he's been possessed by a spirit in the dorm. He states that the true Shadow Game will begin now (in the English dub, he states the Duel has moved to the [[Shadow Realm]]). Since they are continuing the Duel, all the cards that were on both players' hands and field return to how it was before Titan tried to leave the Duel. Jaden, in the end, wins the Duel, and the shadow creatures consume Titan. They free Alexis and escape. At this point, Jaden is still assuming the entire ordeal was an act and that Titan will reappear later. [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] arrives at the dorm later to see how the Duel went, but only finds Titan's "Pandemonium" card.

Jaden has 2000 Life Points remaining and controls no cards.

Titan has 4000 Life Points remaining and controls "[[Infernalqueen Archfiend (anime)|Infernalqueen Archfiend]]" (1900/1500) and "Terrorking Archfiend" (3000/1500) in Attack Position and "Pandemonium".

<u>'''Turn 4: Jaden'''</u><br />
[[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] [[activate]]s "[[Mirage of Nightmare (anime)|Mirage of Nightmare]]". Now during each of [[Titan]]'s [[Standby Phase]]s, Jaden can [[draw a card|draw]] until he has four cards in his [[hand]], but during each of his own Standby Phases, he must [[random]]ly [[discard]] the same number of cards he drew through this [[effect]]. Jaden [[Set]]s two cards.

<u>'''Turn 5: Titan'''</u><br />
Titan draws. During Titan's Standby Phase, Jaden draws four cards via the effect of "Mirage of Nightmare". "[[Terrorking Archfiend (anime)|Terrorking Archfiend]]" [[attack]]s [[Direct attack|directly]], but Jaden activates his [[face-down]] "[[Mirror Force (later anime)|Mirror Force]]" to [[destroy]] all of Titan's [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. 

Since "Terrorking Archfiend" was destroyed and sent to the [[Graveyard]], Titan [[send]]s "[[Desrook Archfiend (anime)|Desrook Archfiend]]" from his hand to the Graveyard via its own effect in order to revive "Terrorking Archfiend" (2000/1500) in Attack Position. As an "[[Archfiend]]" monster was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard through a card [[effect]], the second effect of "[[Pandemonium (anime)|Pandemonium]]" activates, letting Titan [[add a card|add]] another "Desrook Archfiend" from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his hand (as its [[Level]] was lower than the Level of "Terrorking Archfiend"). 

Jaden activates his face-down "[[Emergency Provisions (anime)|Emergency Provisions]]" to send "Mirage of Nightmare" to the Graveyard and gain 1000 [[LP]] (Jaden: 2000 → 3000 LP). "Terrorking Archfiend" attacks directly (Jaden: 3000 → 1000 LP).

<u>'''Turn 6: Jaden'''</u><br />
Jaden draws. He then activates "[[The Warrior Returning Alive (anime)|The Warrior Returning Alive]]" to add "[[Elemental Hero Avian (anime)|Elemental Hero Avian]]" from his Graveyard to his hand. Jaden then activates "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" to [[Fusion Material|fuse]] "Avian" and "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental Hero Burstinatrix]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (anime)|Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. 

"Flame Wingman" attacks and destroys "Terrorking Archfiend" (Titan: 4000 → 3900 LP). The effect of "Flame Wingman" then activates, inflicting [[effect damage|damage]] to Titan equal to his destroyed monster's [[ATK]] (Titan: 3900 → 1900 LP). Titan sends the "Desrook Archfiend" in his hand to the Graveyard via its own effect in order to revive "Terrorking Archfiend" (2000/1500) in Attack Position. Jaden [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Dark Catapulter (anime)|Dark Catapulter]]" (1000/1500) in [[Defense Position]].

<u>'''Turn 7: Titan'''</u><br />
Titan draws "[[Skull Archfiend of Lightning (anime)|Skull Archfiend of Lightning]]". He then [[Tribute]]s "Terrorking Archfiend" to [[Tribute Summon]] "Skull Archfiend" (2500/1200) in Attack Position. "Skull Archfiend" attacks and destroys "Flame Wingman" (Jaden: 1000 → 600 LP).

<u>'''Turn 8: Jaden'''</u><br />
Jaden draws. On Jaden's Standby Phase, "Dark Catapulter" gains a [[counter]] due to its first effect. Jaden then activates the second effect of "Dark Catapulter" to [[Banish|remove]] the "Avian" in his Graveyard from play and remove a counter from "Dark Catapulter" to destroy "Pandemonium". 

At this point, Titan tries to leave as Jaden had exposed him, but then a real [[Shadow Game]] then activates, trapping both players into a purple and black orb. Titan then gets possessed by some grayish blobs, so the Duel continues. 

Jaden then activates "[[Monster Reincarnation (later anime)|Monster Reincarnation]]" to discard "[[Kishido Spirit (anime)|Kishido Spirit]]" and add "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman (anime)|Elemental Hero Sparkman]]" from his Graveyard to his hand. Jaden then Normal Summons "Sparkman" (1600/1400) in Defense Position.

<u>'''Turn 9: Titan'''</u><br />
Titan draws. During Titan's Standby Phase, he is forced to [[pay]] 500 LP to prevent his "Skull Archfiend" from destroying itself (Titan: 1900 → 1400 LP). "Skull Archfiend" attacks and destroys "Dark Catapulter". Titan then Sets a card and Normal Summons "Desrook Archfiend" (1100/1800) in Attack Position.

<u>'''Turn 10: Jaden'''</u><br />
Jaden draws "[[Spark Blaster (anime)|Spark Blaster]]". He switches "Sparkman" to Attack Position. Jaden then activates "Spark Blaster", [[equip]]ping it to "Sparkman". Now during each of Jaden's [[Main Phase]]s, he can change the [[battle position]] of one monster on the [[field]]. If this effect is used three times, "Spark Blaster" is destroyed. "Sparkman" attacks and destroys "Desrook Archfiend" (Titan: 1400 → 900 LP). Jaden then activates the effect of "Spark Blaster" to switch "Sparkman" to Defense Position. On Jaden's [[End Phase]], Titan activates his face-down "[[Battle-Scarred (anime)|Battle-Scarred]]". Now both players will be forced to pay the cost for Titan's "Skull Archfiend" as long as both "Skull Archfiend" and "Battle-Scarred" are face-up.

<u>'''Turn 11: Titan'''</u><br />
Titan draws. During Titan's Standby Phase, he is forced to pay 500 LP to prevent "Skull Archfiend" from destroying itself (Titan: 900 → 400 LP). Due to the effect of "Battle-Scarred", Jaden is forced to pay the same amount of LP Titan paid (Jaden: 600 → 100 LP). "Skull Archfiend" attacks and destroys "Sparkman". Titan Sets a card. He then activates "[[Double Spell (later anime)|Double Spell]]" to discard "[[Archfiend's Oath (anime)|Archfiend's Oath]]" and activate "Emergency Provisions" from Jaden's Graveyard as his card, allowing Titan to send his Set card to the Graveyard and gain 1000 LP (Titan: 400 → 1400 LP). Titan intends to have the [[Maintenance cost]] of "Skull Archfiend" and the effect of "Battle-Scarred" force Jaden to pay the remainder of his LP.

<u>'''Turn 12: Jaden'''</u><br />
Jaden draws "[[Elemental Hero Bubbleman (anime)|Elemental Hero Bubbleman]]". Since "Bubbleman" is the only card in Jaden's hand, Jaden Special Summons "Bubbleman" (800/1200) in Attack Position. Since Jaden summoned "Bubbleman" while he had no other cards on his side of the field, its second effect activates, letting Jaden draw two cards ("[[Bubble Shuffle (anime)|Bubble Shuffle]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Bladedge (anime)|Elemental Hero Bladedge]]"). Jaden then activates "Bubble Shuffle" to switch both "Bubbleman" and "Skull Archfiend" to Defense Position and Tribute "Bubbleman" to Special Summon an "[[Elemental HERO|Elemental Hero]]" monster from his hand.

Since Jaden activated a card that [[target]]s "Skull Archfiend", Titan activates the effect of "Skull Archfiend" to roll a [[die]]. If the result is a one, three or six, "Bubble Shuffle" will be [[negate]]d and destroyed. Titan gets a two, so the effect of "Bubble Shuffle" continues, switching both "Bubbleman" and "Skull Archfiend" to Defense Position. After that, Jaden Tributes "Bubbleman" to Special Summon "Bladedge" (2600/1800) from his hand in Attack Position. "Bladedge" attacks and destroys "Skull Archfiend". "Bladedge" then inflicts [[piercing]] damage to Titan (Titan: 1400 → 0 LP).

==Mistakes==
* In the Japanese version, "[[Mirage of Nightmare (anime)|Mirage of Nightmare]]" is missing the [[Continuous Spell Card]] icon.

* When [[Titan]] uses his first "[[Desrook Archfiend (anime)|Desrook Archfiend]]" to resurrect "[[Terrorking Archfiend (anime)|Terrorking Archfiend]]", three [[face-down]] cards are seen on [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden's]] [[field]]. There should be only one, plus his [[face-up]] "Mirage of Nightmare".

* When Titan uses his second "Desrook Archfiend" to resurrect "Terrorking Archfiend", six cards are shown in his hand, when he should have had only five.

* When Jaden uses "[[Bubble Shuffle (anime)|Bubble Shuffle]]", "[[Kishido Spirit (anime)|Kishido Spirit]]" (which he discarded two [[turn]]s before for "[[Monster Reincarnation (later anime)|Monster Reincarnation]]") is shown in his hand instead of "[[Elemental Hero Bladedge (anime)|Elemental Hero Bladedge]]".
