"Dueling With the Dark Army", known as "Judai VS Zure, Knight of Dark World" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and thirty-fourth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on May 2, 2007 and in the US on December 28, 2007.

Jaden vows to save Freed's people and Jesse and thus ends up Dueling Zure, a high-ranking officer in the Dark World Army.

SummaryEdit

Despite Freed's statement that leaving now would compromise the location of their sanctuary, Jaden Yuki leaves to find Jesse Anderson, thinking he's at the prison camp. He goes off on his own, leaving all his friends at the sanctuary. When they realize he's missing, and that the sanctuary is already compromised, they give chase. Jim Crocodile Cook and Axel Brodie are slow in leaving, and Freed decides to use Jaden as a decoy, giving him an opportunity to evacuate the sanctuary and move to safer place.

Jaden arrives at the prison camp and finds it unguarded. He enters the prison and spots who he thinks is Jesse, but it turns out to be another man who resembles him. Jaden attempts to help the man escape. He reveals that the other prisoners were moved to another camp somewhere else. Outside, Zure's army waits and Jaden has walked right into their trap. Zure kills the man with a blast of lightning from his sword, and Jaden activates his Duel Disk. Zure accepts his challenge.

Zure's "Power" cards nearly defeat Jaden, but Freed arrives after having successfully moved the villagers, and sacrifices himself to place his card on top of Jaden's Deck. Using Freed's effect, Jaden wins the Duel. Zure's army flees upon his death. Freed's card fades and Freed too, disappears. Jaden vows to save Freed's comrades and Jesse, stating he'll sacrifice his own life and risk anything to do so , but as he disappears, Zure releases five small white orbs, which seem to covertly transfer themselves into Atticus Rhodes, Syrus Truesdale, Tyranno Hassleberry, Alexis Rhodes and Chazz Princeton. The orbs appear to imbue them with different emotions - anguish, doubt, hatred, sadness and anger, respectively and they begin to manifest said emotions in regards to the current situation.
