SummaryEdit

Jaden Yuki has just recently finished a Duel with Bastion Misawa in the Duel Arena, using "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" to destroy "Water Dragon" and win.

That night, the group gathers inside the Slifer Red dorm to watch Zane Truesdale's next Pro League match. Finding out that Zane's opponent will be Aster Phoenix, Jaden is eager to see what Aster's actual Deck consists of. To everyone's surprise—including Zane's—Aster reveals that his Deck has an "Elemental Hero" theme, similiar to Jaden's. However, when Aster fuses Elemental Heroes "Avian" and "Burstinatrix", he does not Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman", but "Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer". To his friends' amazement, Jaden was unaware that this Fusion Monster even existed.

Aster counters nearly every move Zane makes and even causes him to take damage from "Power Bond". The Duel ultimately ends with Aster the winner, much to the shock of all of Duel Academy.

Featured DuelsEdit

Jaden Yuki vs. Bastion MisawaEdit

Duel already in progress. Bastion controls "Water Dragon" (2800/2600) in Attack Position while Jaden controls "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) and "Elemental Hero Sparkman" (1600/1400) in Attack Position.

Turn ?: Jaden

• Jaden activates "Polymerization", fusing "Flame Wingman" with "Sparkman" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" (2500/2100) in Attack Position.
  • Due to the effect of "Shining Flare Wingman", it gains 300 ATK for each Elemental Hero in Jaden's Graveyard. There are currently two in Jaden's Graveyard, so "Shining Flare Wingman" gains 600 ATK ("Shining Flare Wingman": 2500 → 3100/2100).
• "Shining Flare Wingman" attacks and destroys "Water Dragon" (Bastion ? → 0).
• Jaden wins.

Aster Phoenix vs. Zane TruesdaleEdit

Turn 1: Aster

• Aster draws "Elemental Hero Avian" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1000/1000) in Attack Position.
• Sets 2 cards.

Turn 2: Zane

• Zane draws "Cyber Dragon".
• Special Summons "Cyber Dragon" (2100/1600) in Attack Position since Aster controls a monster(s) while Zane controls no monsters.
• "Cyber Dragon" attacks "Elemental Hero Avian", but Aster activates his face-down "Draining Shield", targeting "Cyber Dragon" in order to negate the attack and increase his Life Points by the ATK of "Cyber Dragon".
  • Zane activates "Trap Booster", discarding "Photon Generator Unit" to activate "Trap Jammer" from his hand which will allow Zane to negate "Draining Shield" and destroy it, but Aster activates his own "Trap Jammer", which negates Zane's "Trap Jammer" and destroys it. The effect of "Draining Shield" continues, negating "Cyber Dragon" and increasing Aster's Life Points by the ATK of "Cyber Dragon" (Aster 4000 → 6100).

Turn 3: Aster

• Aster draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it, drawing 2 cards.
• Activates "Polymerization", fusing "Avian" with "Burstinatrix" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer" (2100/1200) in Attack Position.
• "Phoenix Enforcer" attacks "Cyber Dragon". Due to the former's effect, it can't be destroyed in battle, so only "Cyber Dragon" is destroyed.
• Sets a card.

Turn 4: Zane

• Zane draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activate it, drawing 2 cards(one of the cards he drew was "Power Bond").
• Activates "Power Bond", fusing the 2 "Cyber Dragons" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Cyber Twin Dragon" (2800/2100) in Attack Position.
  • Due to the effect of "Power Bond", "Cyber Twin Dragon's" ATK is doubled ("Cyber Twin Dragon": 2800 → 5600/2100).
• "Cyber Twin Dragon" attacks "Phoenix Enforcer". "Phoenix Enforcer" is not destroyed due to its effect, but Aster still takes Battle Damage (Aster 6100 → 2600).
• "Cyber Twin Dragon" attacks "Phoenix Enforcer" again since the former can attack twice during each Battle Phase.
  • Aster activates his face-down "Elemental Recharge", increasing his Life Points by 1000 for each "Elemental Hero" he controls (Aster 2600 → 3600).
  • "Cyber Twin Dragon's" attack continues. Due to the effect of "Phoenix Enforcer", it is not destroyed, but Aster still takes Battle Damage (Aster 3600 → 100).
• During the End Phase, the final effect of "Power Bond" activates, inflicting damage to Zane equal to "Cyber Twin Dragon's" original ATK. (Zane 4000 → 1200).

Turn 5: Aster

• Aster draws "Elemental Hero Sparkman" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1600/1400) in Attack Position.
• Activates "Spark Blaster", equipping it to "Sparkman". Now during each of Aster's Main Phases, he can change the battle position of one monster on the field. If Aster uses this effect three times, "Spark Blaster" will be destroyed.
• Activates "Guard Penalty". Now for this turn only, Aster can draw a card each time a monster is switched to Defense Position.
• Aster uses the effect of "Spark Blaster" three times, switching "Cyber Twin Dragon" to Defense Position, then to Attack Position, and then back to Defense Position. After that resolves, "Spark Blaster" is destroyed.
  • Since a monster got switched to Defense Position twice, the effect of "Guard Penalty" activates, allowing Aster to draw two cards.^{[Notes 1]}
• Activates another "Polymerization", fusing "Sparkman" with "Phoenix Enforcer" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Shining Phoenix Enforcer" (2500/2100) in Attack Position.
  • Due to the effect of "Shining Phoenix Enforcer", it gains 300 ATK for each "Elemental Hero" monster in Aster's Graveyard. There are 4, so "Shining Phoenix Enforcer" gains 1200 ATK ("Shining Phoenix Enforcer": 2500 → 3700/2100).
• "Shining Phoenix Enforcer" attacks and destroys "Cyber Twin Dragon".
• Sets a card.

Turn 6: Zane

• Zane draws "Cybernetic Fusion Support".
• Zane's hand contains "Polymerization".
• Activates "Polymerization" which will allow him to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster by sending the appropriate Fusion Material Monsters to the Graveyard.
  • Activates "Cybernetic Fusion Support", paying half of his Life Points (Zane 1200 → 600) to remove from play his 3 "Cyber Dragons" from his Graveyard and use "Cybernetic Fusion Support" as the substitute for the Fusion Material Monsters used for the Fusion Summon done by "Polymerization".
  • "Polymerization" then Fusion Summons "Cyber End Dragon" (4000/2800) in Attack Position.
• "Cyber End Dragon" attacks "Shining Phoenix Enforcer", but Aster activates his face-down "Destruction of Destiny", sending the top 5 cards of his Deck ("Elemental Hero Clayman", "Elemental Hero Bladedge", "Elemental Hero Bubbleman", "Elemental Hero Wildheart", and "Hero Signal") to the Graveyard.^{[Notes 2]}
  • With 4 more "Elemental Hero" monsters in Aster's Graveyard, "Shining Phoenix Enforcer" gains 1200 more ATK ("Shining Phoenix Enforcer": 3700 → 4900/2100).
  • "Shining Phoenix Enforcer" destroys "Cyber End Dragon" (Zane 600 → 0).
• Aster wins.

Differences in adaptationsEdit

In the Japanese version, Edo is generally respectfully of Kaiser until his activation of "Destruction of Destiny". Prior to this, he had referred to Kaiser as "senpai" (meaing "senior") as a sign of a respect. Just as he's about to win, Edo begins to disrespect Kaiser and calls himself a "senpai of the Pro League". In the English version, Aster is disdainful of Zane much earlier in the duel.

NotesEdit

1. ↑ In the TCG/OCG, "Guard Penalty" only allows the player to draw 1 card after it resolves; it is not a Continuous effect.
2. ↑ In the TCG/OCG, "Destruction of Destiny" sends the top three cards of one's Deck to the Graveyard and deals 1000 damage to the controller for each Spell or Trap Card sent.
