[[Jaden Yuki]] is still en route, still being chased by [[Duel Ghoul]]s. [[Axel Brodie]] and the others are heading to the tennis courts, so they can begin a Duel to aide in opening the wormhole between dimensions. They are also assaulted by Duel Ghouls on the way, and Axel is forced to send his "[[Blue Berets]]" to distract them. [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] also stays behind, as the rest continue on.

| − | Echo explains that she does not want Adrian to return to Earth, as if he does, he can't become "King". He's devoted his life to protecting his [[Shido Gecko|little brother]] for sake of his family, but Echo states he has much more potential than that - and he can attain that potential in the Duel Spirit world. She is willing to destroy the tablet and sacrifice herself along with Pegasus' group to prevent him from returning. Pegasus' bodyguards stop her before she is able to do so.

| − | Adrian drops Marcel to 1000 Life Points and is about to declare a direct attack to finish him off, but Marcel activates two copies of "[[Break the Seal]]", revealing that he is trying to summon [[Exodia]]. At this point, the Sacred Beasts awaken, stopping the Duel. Adrian tries to make Marcel continue the Duel, but Marcel reveals that he already had the four limbs of [[Exodia]] in his hand, and had "Break the Seal" resolved, he would have added [[Exodia the Forbidden One (anime)|the head]] and won.

| − | Jaden is trapped by Duel Ghouls, including [[Syrus Truesdale]], and they Summon a variety of monsters to attack him. Jaden uses "[[Winged Kuriboh (manga)|Winged Kuriboh]]'s effect to reduce all [[battle damage]] to 0 and run away from them. Meanwhile the others race through the school, constantly being stopped by duel ghouls. Jesse offers to fight a mob blocking their path but Crowler states he will duel them and sends everyone else on. At the tennis courts, [[Jean-Louis Bonaparte|Vice-Chancellor Bonaparte]] reveals that [[Duel Academy]] had borrowed a Sub-Space Dueling System from [[KaibaCorp]]. Using this, they'll be able to create a link back Earth, with one Duelist one each side, creating enough Duel Energy to open the wormhole and send "Rainbow Dragon" in. [[Bastion Misawa]] initiates the system, and [[Jesse Anderson]] prepares to Duel. It's revealed that [[Zane Truesdale]] will be his opponent.

| |
| − | | |
| − | <u>'''Turn 1: Marcel'''</u><br />
| |

| |
| | | | |
| − | <u>'''Turn 2: Adrian'''</u><br />
| + | At the resting place of the [[Sacred Beasts]], [[Marcel Bonaparte]] and [[Adrian Gecko]] begin a duel to determine who will get the take the cards. [[Jaden Yuki]] is still en route, still being chased by [[Duel Ghoul]]s. [[Axel Brodie]] and the others are heading to the tennis courts, so they can begin a duel to aide in opening the wormhole between dimensions. They are also assaulted by Duel Ghouls on the way, and Axel is forced to send his "Blue Berets" to distract them. [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] also stays behind, as the rest continue on. |
| − | Adrian draws. He then activates "[[Summon Cloud (anime)|Summon Cloud]]". Now once per turn, during each of Adrian's Main Phases, he can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or below "Cloudian" monster from his hand or either player's Graveyard if he doesn't control any monsters. During each of Adrian's Standby Phases, he must either discard one card or destroy "Summon Cloud". Adrian then activates the effect of "Summon Cloud" to Special Summon "[[Cloudian - Sheep Cloud (anime)|Cloudian - Sheep Cloud]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then activates "[[Exploding Cloud]]" to destroy "Sheep Cloud" and take damage equal its [[ATK]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | Since "Cloudian - Sheep Cloud" was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates. allowing Adrian to Special Summon two "[[Sheep Cloud Token]]s" (0/0) in Attack Position. Adrian then [[Tribute]]s his two tokens in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon (anime)|Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon]]" (3000/1000) in Attack Position. "Eye of the Typhoon" then attacks "Mad Reloader". The effect of "Eye of the Typhoon" activates, switching "Mad Reloader" to [[Attack Position]]. "Eye of the Typhoon" then destroys "Mad Reloader" (Marcel 4000 → 1000). Since "Mad Reloader" was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Marcel to send "[[Pot of Avarice (anime)|Pot of Avarice]]" and "[[Reload (anime)|Reload]]" from his hand to the Graveyard and draw two cards. Adrian [[Set]]s a card. On Adrian's End Phase, "Eye of the Typhoon" loses 500 ATK due to its last effect ("Eye of the Typhoon": 3000 → 2500/1000).
| + | Echo explains that she does not want Adrian to return to Earth, as if he does, he can't become "King". He's devoted his life to protecting his [[Shido Gecko|little brother]] for sake of his family, but Echo states he was much more potential than that - and he can attain that potential in the Duel Spirit world. She is willing to destroy the tablet and sacrifice herself along with Pegasus' group to prevent him from returning. Pegasus' bodyguards stop her before she is able to do so. |
| | | | |
| − | <u>'''Turn 3: Marcel'''</u><br />
| + | Adrian reduces Marcel by 3000 Life Points, Marcel stops the duel and reveals he had the four limbs of [[Exodia]] in his hand, and was about to win after activating "[[Break the Seal]]" to put [[Exodia the Forbidden One|the head]] into his hand. The Sacred Beasts awaken and the duel stops. |
| − | Marcel draws. He then [[Set]]s a card. | |
| | | | |
| − | <u>'''Turn 4: Adrian'''</u><br />
| + | Jaden is trapped by Duel Ghouls, including [[Syrus Truesdale]], and they summon a variety of monsters to attack him. Jaden uses "[[Winged Kuriboh]]'s effect to stop them and run past. At the tennis courts, [[Jean-Louis Bonaparte|Vice-Chancellor Bonaparte]] reveals that [[Duel Academy]] had borrowed a Sub-Space Dueling System from [[KaibaCorp]]. Using this, they'll be able to create a link back Earth, with one duelist one each side, creating enough Duel Energy to open the wormhole and send "[[Rainbow Dragon]]" in. [[Bastion Misawa]] initiates the system, and [[Jesse Anderson]] prepares to duel. It's revealed that [[Zane Truesdale]] will be his opponent. |
| − | Adrian draws. On Adrian's Standby Phase, he chooses not to pay the [[Maintenance Cost]] for "Summon Cloud", so the latter is destroyed. "Eye of the Typhoon" then attacks directly, but Marcel activates his two face-down "[[Break the Seal]]s" and sends both of them to the [[Graveyard]] in order to add "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (anime)|Exodia the Forbidden One]]" from his Deck to his hand.
| |
| | | | |
| − | At this point, the [[Sacred Beasts]] are released and their awakening stop the Duel. Adrian later sees Marcel's hand, which contained "[[Left Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Arm of the Forbidden One]]", "[[Left Leg of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Leg of the Forbidden One]]", "[[Right Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Right Arm of the Forbidden One]]", and "[[Right Leg of the Forbidden One (anime)|Right Leg of the Forbidden One]]". This means that if the effect of "[[Break the Seal]]" had resolved, Marcel would have gotten "Exodia the Forbidden One" into his hand and automatically won the Duel.
| + | ==Featured Duel== |
| | + | Marcel summons "[[Mad Reloader]]" (0/0) in [[defense position]] and [[Set]]s a card. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Trivia==
| + | Adrian activates "[[Summon Cloud]]" and, by its effect, [[Summon]]s "[[Cloudian - Sheep Cloud]]" (0/0). He then activates "[[Exploder Cloud]]" to destroy "[[Cloudian - Sheep Cloud|Sheep Cloud]]" and take damage equal its [[ATK]] (Adrian 4000). Due to "[[Cloudian - Sheep Cloud|Sheep Cloud's]]" effect, he Summons two "[[Cloudian Token]]s" (0/0) and [[Tribute]]s them to Summon "[[Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon]]" (3000/1000). He attacks "[[Mad Reloader]]", and "[[Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon|Eye of the Typhoon]]'s" effect changes "[[Mad Reloader]]" to [[Attack Position]] (Marcel 1000). Marcel [[discard]]s two cards and draws two more via [[Mad Reloader]]'s" effect. Adrian [[Set]]s a card. |
| − | * When Adrian notices the "Forbidden One" cards in his hand, the cards have their original Japanese artwork (with the star points in the background) instead of the American edited artwork. This trend seems to continue in future episodes but even less edited to even include them still in Japanese anime card format.
| |
| | | | |
| − | * When [[Bastion Misawa]] gets to work with the Interdimensional Duel System (that Bonaparte says they borrowed from [[KaibaCorp]]), [[Seto Kaiba]]'s theme music plays. Coincidentally, Bastion's English voice actor, [[Eric Stuart]], also voices Kaiba.
| + | Marcel [[Set]]s a card. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Errors==
| + | Adrian attacks [[Direct Attack|directly]], but Marcel activates his two set "[[Break the Seal]]s", sending them to the [[Graveyard]] to add 1 "[[Forbidden One]]" limb to his hand. At this point, the "[[Sacred Beasts]]" are released and their awakening stop the duel. Adrian soon realizes Marcel had four [[Exodia]] pieces in his hand, and would've drawn a fifth and defeated him. |
| − | * In the English dub, when "Mad Reloader"'s effect activates, Marcel says that he sends two cards to his deck before drawing two more when he actually sends them to the Graveyard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * In the English dub, after Adrian uses the effect of "Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon" to switch Marcel's "Made Reloader" from Defense Position to Attack Position, he erroneously says that "Mad Reloader" is in ''Defense'' Position.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * In the English dub, when Marcel activates his two face-down "Break the Seal" Trap Cards, he mistakenly calls them ''Spell'' Cards.
