"The Legendary Dragon" is the third chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. It was first printed in Japanese in the V Jump magazine on February 10, 2006 and in English in the Shonen Jump magazine. Both of which were printed in volume 1 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX graphic novels afterwards.

Though Jaden destroys Chazz's "Dragonic Knight", Chazz had a counter strategy. Jaden defeats him using "Winged Kuriboh" and Chazz comes to realization about himself.

SummaryEdit

Jaden continues his Duel with Chazz, impressed with Chazz's Summoning of "Dragonic Knight" on his first turn. Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Terra Firma", but Chazz removes it from the field using "Reverse-Time" and also depletes nearly all of Jaden's Life Points. Chazz tells Jaden that Duelists should rely on their own strength, not their cards. Jaden replies that Duelists who stop caring for their cards are doomed, but Chazz remains unconvinced, thinking that he is facing a dilemma of fighting alone or with his partner.

Jaden Summons "Winged Kuriboh", and states that he trusts his card. Chazz says that cards are just tools, and plans on destroying "Winged Kuriboh", but Jaden uses "Transcendent Wings" to evolve Kuriboh to "Winged Kuriboh LV10", and uses its special ability to destroy all of Chazz's monsters and defeat him.

After the Duel, Jaden believes that he saw a dragon watching the Duel. Chazz sees the dragon, and realizes that his "partner" was watching the Duel. Chazz realizes that he was afraid to lose with his partner, but now wants to Duel alongside him again.

Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Chazz PrincetonEdit

Duel continues from the previous chapter.

"Elemental Hero Stratos" is destroyed, but Jaden activates his face-down "Hero Signal", Special Summoning "Elemental Hero Woodsman" (1000/2000) from his Deck. Chazz Sets a card.

Turn 3: Jaden
Jaden activates "Polymerization", fusing "Woodsman" with "Elemental Hero Ocean" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Terra Firma" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Premature Burial", paying 800 Life Points (Jaden 3000 → 2200) to Special Summon "Stratos" (1800/300) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. He uses the effect of "Terra Firma", Tributing "Stratos" to increase the ATK and DEF of "Terra Firma" by its ATK and DEF, to 4300 and 2300, respectively, until the End Phase. "Terra Firma" attacks and destroys "Dragonic Knight" (Chazz 4000 → 2500). Chazz activates his face-down "Reverse-Time", resetting the field to how it was at the start of the turn. Therefore, "Dragonic Knight" (2800/2300), "Ocean" (1500/1200) and "Woodsman" (1000/2000) are Special Summoned in Attack Position and "Terra Firma" is banished.

Turn 4: Chazz
Chazz Normal Summons "Blackland Fire Dragon" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. It attacks and destroys "Woodsman" (Jaden 2200 → 1700), while "Dragonic Knight" does the same to "Ocean" (Jaden 1700 → 400).

Turn 5: Jaden
Jaden activates "Pot of Greed", drawing two cards. He then Sets a card and Summons "Winged Kuriboh" (300/200).

Turn 6: Chazz
Chazz attacks "Winged Kuriboh" with "Dragonic Knight", but Jaden activates his face-down "Transcendent Wings", Tributing "Winged Kuriboh" and sending two cards in his hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Winged Kuriboh LV10" in Attack Position. Jaden Tributes it using its effect, destroying both of Chazz's monsters and inflicting damage to Chazz equal to their combined ATK (Chazz 2500 → 0).
