SummaryEdit

Aster Phoenix unveils his Destiny Heroes and Jaden Yuki's Elemental Heroes can't seem to compete. Despite the "Destiny Heroes" relatively low attack points, their effects push Jaden into a corner, as Aster uses "Misfortune" to deal damage while continuing to place Clock Counters on "Clock Tower Prison". On the turn that the fourth Clock Counter is placed, Jaden would be able to deal enough damage to win. However, "Clock Tower Prison" renders Aster immune to damage when it has enough Counters. Jaden plays "Fusion Gate" and because "Clock Tower Prison" was destroyed, Aster can Summon his ultimate monster - "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster", whose attack points are equal to the sum of the attack points of the other "Destiny Heroes" on the Field.

Aster explains his past. His father was a card designer for Industrial Illusions, who designed the "Destiny Heroes" himself. One day, Aster came home to find his father dead (kidnapped in the English version). The person who did it also took one of the "Destiny Hero" cards, which was known to be the most powerful among them. Aster's vigilante activity is centered around stopping crime to find the person who took his father from him, as he would be able to identify them by their possession of the stolen card. His "Dreadmaster" negate the effect of Jaden's "Elemental Hero Thunder Giant" and wins Aster the Duel with its attack. Jaden falls to the ground, his cards flying about, and they turn blank as he falls.

Featured Duel: Aster Phoenix vs. Jaden YukiEdit

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Jaden's turnEdit

• Jaden draws "Wroughtweiler".
• During the Standby Phase, "Clock Tower Prison" gains a Clock Counter.
• Summons "Wroughtweiler" (800/1200) in Attack Position.
• "Wroughtweiler" attacks and destroys "Doom Lord" (Aster 1800 → 1600).
  • Aster activates his face-down "Destiny Signal", Special Summoning "Captain Tenacious" (800/800) in Attack Position.

Aster's turnEdit

• Aster draws.
• During Aster's Standby Phase, he activates the effect of "Captain Tenacious", Special Summoning "Doom Lord" (600/800) from the Graveyard in Attack Position since it was destroyed in battle last turn.
• Summons "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" (1400/1600) in Attack Position.
• Activates "Diamond Dude's" effect to reveal the top card of his Deck. If that card is a Normal Spell Card, it will be sent to the Graveyard, and Aster can activate its effect on his next turn's Main Phase. He reveals "Misfortune" to Jaden, so it goes to the Graveyard and its effect will be set to activate on Aster's next Main Phase.
• "Diamond Dude" attacks and destroys "Wroughtweiler" (Jaden 2800 → 2200).
  • Since "Wroughtweiler" was destroyed, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to add "Polymerization" and "Bubbleman" from his Graveyard to his hand.
• "Captain Tenacious" attacks Jaden directly (Jaden 2200 → 1400).
• Sets a card.

Jaden's turnEdit

• Jaden draws.
• During the Standby Phase, "Clock Tower Prison" gains a Clock Counter. It now has a total of 2.
• Summons "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" (800/1200) in Attack Position.
  • Since Jaden summoned "Bubbleman" while he controlled no cards, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to draw two cards.^{[Notes 1]}
• Activates "Bubble Blaster", equipping it to "Bubbleman" and increasing its ATK by 800 ("Bubbleman": 800 → 1600/1200).
• "Bubbleman" attacks "Captain Tenacious", but Aster activates his face-down "D-Shield", equipping it to "Captain Tenacious" and switching it to Defense Position. Due to the effect of "D - Shield", "Captain Tenacious" can't be destroyed in battle, so the attack fails.

Aster's turnEdit

• Aster draws.
• During the Standby Phase, the final effect of "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" activates, returning "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" (2500/2100) back to the field in Attack Position.
  • Due to the effect of "Shining Flare Wingman", it gains 300 ATK for every "Elemental Hero" monster in Jaden's Graveyard. There are currently 3, so "Shining Flare Wingman" gains 900 ATK ("Shining Flare Wingman": 2500 → 3400/2100)
• Due to the effect of "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude", Aster activates "Misfortune's" effect from the Graveyard, targeting "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" to inflict damage to Jaden equal to the Original ATK of "Shining Flare Wingman" (Jaden 1400 → 150), but none of Aster's monsters will be allowed to attack this turn.
• Aster activates the effect of "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord", removing "Shining Flare Wingman" from play for two turns.

Jaden's turnEdit

• Jaden draws.
• During the Standby Phase, "Clock Tower Prison" gains a Clock Counter. It now has a total of 3.
• "Bubbleman" attacks and destroys "Doom Lord" (Aster 1600 → 600).
• Summons "Elemental Hero Clayman" (800/2000) in Defense Position.

Aster's turnEdit

• Aster draws.
• On Aster's Standby Phase, he activates the effect of "Captain Tenacious", Special Summoning "Doom Lord" (600/800) from the Graveyard in Attack Position.
• Activates the effect of "Diamond Dude", revealing the top card on his Deck. It is the Normal Spell Card "Magical Stone Excavation", so it is sent to the Graveyard and its effect will be set to activate during Aster's next Main Phase.
• Activates the effect of "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord", removing "Bubbleman" from play. On Aster's second Standby Phase after the activation of this effect, he can return the removed monster back to the field in the same battle position it was in when removed.
• Activates "Ring of Magnetism", equipping it to "Captain Tenacious" and decreasing its ATK and DEF by 500 ("Captain Tenacious": 800 → 300/800 → 300). Now all of Jaden's attacks will be redirected to "Captain Tenacious".

Jaden's turnEdit

• Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Wildheart".
• During the Standby Phase, "Clock Tower Prison" gains a Clock Counter. It now has a total of 4.
• Jaden's hand contains "Burial from a Different Dimension", "De-Fusion", "Elemental Hero Necroshade", and "Polymerization".
• Activates "Polymerization", fusing Elemental Heroes "Wildheart" and "Necroshade" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman" (1900/1800) in Attack Position.
  • When Special Summoned, "Necroid Shaman" activates, destroying "Captain Tenacious" and Special Summoning "Elemental Hero Avian" (1000/1000) from Aster's Graveyard in Attack Position.
• "Necroid Shaman" attacks and destroys "Doom Lord", but Aster takes no Battle Damage since "Clock Tower Prison" currently has at least 4 Clock Counters.
• Sets 2 cards.

Aster's turnEdit

• Aster draws.
• During the Standby Phase, the final effect of "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" activates, returning "Shining Flare Wingman" (2500/2100) back to the field in Attack Position.
  • Due to the effect of "Shining Flare Wingman", it gains 300 ATK for every "Elemental Hero" monster in Jaden's Graveyard. There are currently 5, so "Shining Flare Wingman" gains 1500 ATK ("Shining Flare Wingman": 2500 → 4000/2100).
• Due to "Diamond Dude's" effect, Aster activates "Magical Stone Excavation's" effect from the Graveyard, discarding "Fusion Sage" and "Terraforming" to add "Misfortune" from his Graveyard to his hand.^{[Notes 2]}
• Activates "Misfortune", targeting "Shining Flare Wingman" to inflict damage to Jaden equal to the original ATK of "Shining Flare Wingman", but Jaden activates "De-Fusion" and "Burial from a Different Dimension". The effects of the three activated Spell Cards activate in reverse order.

• "Burial from a Different Dimension" resolves first, allowing Jaden to return Elemental Heroes "Flame Wingman" and "Sparkman" from the Removed from Play Zone to the Graveyard.
• "De-Fusion" resolves next, returning "Shining Flare Wingman" to the Fusion Deck and Special Summoning "Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) and "Sparkman" (1600/1400) from the Graveyard in Attack Position.
• "Misfortune" resolves last, but since "Shining Flare Wingman" is no longer on the field, the effect of "Misfortune" is negated as it has lost its original target.

Jaden's turnEdit

• Jaden draws "Fusion Gate" and subsequently activates it, destroying "Clock Tower Prison". Now both players can Fusion Summon without using "Polymerization", but the Fusion Material Monsters will be removed from play instead of being sent to the Graveyard.

• Since "Clock Tower Prison" was destroyed while it had four Clock Counters, its final effect activates, allowing Aster to Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" (?/?) from his Deck in Attack Position.
• When Special Summoned by the effect of "Clock Tower Prison", "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster's" first effect activates, destroying all of Aster's non-"Destiny Hero" monsters(in this case "Avian") and Special Summoning Destiny Heroes "Doom Lord" (600/800) and "Captain Tenacious" (800/800) from the Graveyard in Attack Position.
• "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster's" original ATK and DEF are both equal to the sum of the ATK of all other face-up "Destiny Hero" monsters Aster controls ("Dreadmaster": ? → 2800/? → 2800).

• Uses the effect of "Fusion Gate" to fuse "Clayman" and "Sparkman" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Thunder Giant" (2400/1500) in Attack Position.
  • Since "Thunder Giant" was Fusion Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to destroy one monster Aster controls that has an original ATK that is equal to or less than the ATK of "Thunder Giant". Jaden chooses to destroy "Diamond Dude"^{[Notes 3]}, but since "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" was Special Summoned via "Clock Tower Prison", none of Aster's face-up "Destiny Hero" monsters can be destroyed this turn and Aster takes no Battle Damage when they battle.

Aster's turnEdit

• Aster draws.
• "Dreadmaster" attacks and destroys "Thunder Giant" (Jaden 150 → 0).
• Aster wins.

Differences in adaptationsEdit

In the Japaense version, Aster's father is killed by the man who steals the card he made. Aster is actually shown to find his body on the floor, with the remaining "Destiny Heroes" scattered around him. In the English version, the body is not there, and Aster states his father was kidnapped.

ErrorsEdit

• In the dub, when Aster uses "Magical Stone Excavation" to get "Misfortune" back in his hand, the shot of "Misfortune" leaving the Graveyard shows the artwork for "Polymerization" instead.

• Just before Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman", a shot of his hand is shown. The "Elemental Hero Necroshade" and "Burial from a Different Dimension" that were originally present are changed to "Terrorking Archfiend" and "Diffusion Wave-Motion" in the English version. Despite this, Jaden immediately activates the effect of the "Necroshade" that should have been in the Graveyard. Later, when "Burial from a Different Dimension" is activated, the English version mistakenly shows the artwork for "The Second Sarcophagus" instead.

• In the dub near the end of the Duel when Aster decries about Dueling to punish wrongdoers, we see a cross-section view of the Dueling arena. Aster at that time has Destiny Heroes "Diamond Dude," "Captain Tenacious," "Doom Lord" and "Dreadmaster" on the field. From this angle all of these monsters except "Captain Tenacious" are visible; "Captain Tenacious" cannot be seen at all.

• During the Standby Phase of Aster's last turn, "Doom Lord's" effect should have activated, returning "Bubbleman" to Jaden's side of the field. But due to unexplained reasons, it didn't.

• As Jaden's Deck falls to the ground and close-up shots of some of the cards are shown, the "Dark Catapulter" present in the Japanese version is changed to "Yellow Gadget" in the dub.

• "Hero Kid" is shown as a Normal Monster and "Mispolymerization" is the wrong card as it goes against the design of Jaden's Deck.

NotesEdit

1. ↑ In the TCG/OCG, the effect of "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" only activates when he is the only card in your hand and on your side of the Field when he is Summoned.
2. ↑ In the TCG/OCG, cards activated through "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude's" effect ignore any costs associated with them, so Aster would not have had to discard 2 cards for the effect of "Magical Stone Excavation".
3. ↑ In the TCG/OCG, one must discard a card to activate "Elemental Hero Thunder Giant's" effect.
4. ↑ ^{4.00 4.01 4.02 4.03 4.04 4.05 4.06 4.07 4.08 4.09 4.10} This card can be seen in the air at the end of the episode.
