"The End of the Battle...?!", known as "Conclusion! And...!?" in the Japanese version, is the forty-second chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. It was first printed in Japanese in the V Jump magazine and in English in the Shonen Jump magazine. Both of which were printed in volume 6 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX graphic novels afterwards.

Jaden defeats Reggie with "Winged Kuriboh".

SummaryEdit

Jaden continues his Duel with Reggie, with the latter making a comeback by Summoning "The Splendid Venus" once more, this time using "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen". Jaden considers his options as far as Fusion Monsters goes and considers Fusion Summoning "Elemental Hero Gaia" with "Elemental Hero Knospe", but ultimately Fusion Summons "Elemental Hero Great Tornado" instead. With this monster, he destroys "Venus", while "Winged Kuriboh" deals the finishing blow.

This summary is currently incomplete.

Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Reggie MacKenzieEdit

Duel continues from the last chapter.

Turn 10: Reggie
Reggie's hand contains "Angel Bow", "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen" and "Mystical Space Typhoon". She draws and activates "Heaven’s Lost Property", letting both players draw three cards and then discard two. Reggie draws "Holy Sanctuary", "Angel Ring" and "Shatiel", while Jaden draws "Terra Firma Gravity", "Pot of Greed" and "Hero's Bond". Reggie discards "Angel Bow" and "Angel Ring", while Jaden discards "Terra Firma Gravity" and "Hero's Bond".

Reggie activates "Holy Sanctuary" and Normal Summons "Shatiel" (500/2000) in Defense Position without tributing due to the effect of "Holy Sanctuary", who gains 400 ATK and DEF via its own effect. Reggie activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy her "Holy Sanctuary". She then removes "Holy Sanctuary" in her Graveyard from play to activate "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen". Reggie uses the effect of "Valhalla" to Special Summon "The Splendid Venus" (2800/2400) from her Graveyard in Attack Position.^{[Notes 1]} The effect of "Venus" activates, decreasing the ATK and DEF of Jaden's "Elemental Hero The Shining" and "Elemental Hero Stratos" by 500, to 3300/1600 and 1300/0, respectively. The effect of "Shatiel" increases the ATK and DEF of itself and "Venus" to 1300/2800 and 3600/2200, respectively.

Reggie attacks "Stratos" with "Venus", but Jaden activates his face-down "Defender Hero", switching the attack target to "The Shining", who is destroyed (Jaden 500 → 200). The effect of the "The Shining" lets Jaden return two removed from play "Elemental Heroes" to his hand. He returns "Woodsman" and "Ocean".

Turn 11: Jaden
Jaden draws "Weak Anger" and then activates "Pot of Greed", drawing "Winged Kuriboh" and "Elemental Hero Lady Heat". He Normal Summons "Winged Kuriboh" (300/200) in Attack Position and activates "Polymerization", fusing "Stratos" with "Lady Heat" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Great Tornado" (2800/2200) in Attack Position. The effect of "Venus" decreases the stats of "Great Tornado" to 2300/1700, while the effect of "Great Tornado" halves the ATK and DEF of both of Reggie's monsters ("Venus": 1800/1600, "Shatiel": 650/1400). "Great Tornado" attacks and destroys "Venus" (Reggie 1700 → 1200). The ATK and DEF of "Shatiel" decrease by 400 each via its own effect ("Shatiel": 250/1000), while "Great Tornado" and "Winged Kuriboh" regain their original ATK and DEF as "Venus" is no longer on the field. Jaden attacks and destroys "Shatiel" with "Winged Kuriboh", while activating the Quick-Play Spell Card "Weak Anger" from his hand. This increases the ATK of the Level 1 "Winged Kuriboh" by 1000, to 1300, and and deals damage to Reggie equal to its ATK points when it destroys a monster by battle (Reggie 1200 → 0).

NotesEdit

1. ↑ In the TCG/OCG, the effect of "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen" can only be activated when one controls no monsters, and does not require the removal of "Holy Sanctuary" from the Graveyard.
