episode 177 summarized by Janime


Judai has already defeated Fujiwara and his darkness, but the full solar eclipse hasn't disappeared yet. Johan doesn't understand at all what's going on. He is about to collapse onto his knees, but Judai can quickly catch and hold him. Judai asks with concern whether Johan is okey. Johan doesn't seem to recover fully from the impact he has received in the game. He thinks that Fujiwara and Darkness have already been defeated, so the situation should return to normal. Judai agrees. Things are strange as nothing seems to change. It's still dark everywhere.

Johan wonders whether the world can no longer to return to normal. Judai thinks that it's so stupid and shouldn't happen. At the same time, both of the hear some terrible groaning sound coming from the school. Judai doubts what that noise is. Johan then sits on his knee and tells Judai to take a look at the source of the noise. He seems to weak to follow him but he will take care of Fujiwara there. Judai gets that and says that he will come back for Johan soon.

Judai runs off into Duel Academia, leaving Johan and Fujiwara in front of the school's courtyard. He runs into the main computer room and looks at the monitors. The screens display many places around the world: a street in America, Big Ben Clock Tower in London/England, and Sydney Opera House in Australia. The point is that there is no shadow of human beings at any place. Judai is wondering whether people around the world have already disappeared.

Suddenly, there is a deep sound of a man calling for Judai and challenging him into a decisive battle. The pictures on all screens change into the picture of the full solar eclipse. Judai wonders who is calling him and where is the owner of the sound.

The groaning and horrible sound is everywhere in front of the school. Pharaoh seems to be alive and doesn't disappear along with the others. The spirit of Teacher Daitokuji is leaving Pharaoh's body as Pharaoh is trying to eat him back. Judai has finally returned to the courtyard in front of the school. At this time, he sees no sign of Fujiwara and Johan anywhere. The spirit ball of Teacher Daitokuji transforms into a human body. He points Judai to look at the solar eclipse in the dark sky.

Judai notices that the solar eclipse is getting bigger in front of him. He has just realized that this may not really be a solar eclipse. Judai asks loudly who the owner of the voice is. This mysterious man introduces himself as (true) Darkness. It's the time for their settlement duel between him and Judai. The prior messenger is merely a part of himself not his true identity. Judai understands that Darkness is talking about Fujiwara, who is an actual messenger of Darkness.

Note: It appears that Darkness uses an old way of saying. He calls Judai by "Nanji' and calls himself by "Wa". "Nanji' and "Wa" mean "You' and "I" respectively, and they are likely old way of speaking.

Judai yells to let Darkness show up his true identity now. Meanwhile, the solar eclipse in front of him is getting bigger and bigger, making Judai surprised by whether this solar eclipse is actually Darkness. Inside the solar eclipse or this dark sphere is full of black cards. Dark power from these cards then flies like liquid in front of Judai. Judai is pretty shocked while seeing this black liquid forming into a black skeleton in a black cloak. Darkness introduces himself again as the one with truth and the world (The only existence in the world).

The spirit of Teacher Daitokuji comes close to Judai and tells him that he can feel the sense of many people like him from the black sphere. Judai doubts whether Teacher Daitokuji means that everybody is staying inside this dark sphere. Darkness reveals that everybody Judai has looked for is now in his world or that black sphere.

Judai looks mad and asks what Darkness actually desires or whether Darkness just wants to take over this world. Hearing Judai talking about desire, Darkness denies and corrects him that he has no such a desire. He is actually the truth or the law of the world. Judai doubts whether Darkness means by that it has already been determined certainly that people must disappear from the world and return to Darkness. Darkness convinces that Judai has understood it clearly.

Judai can't accept this stupid truth and doesn't believe it. Darkness tries to explain that people in the world start to suffer. On the other hand, his world is full of peace. To clarify, Darkness thinks that Judai better realizes it by his body. He fires his power towards Judai's forehead. Judai screams as his eyes are turning big and he is seeing some visions of his friends in the world of Darkness. They are the same pictures that Fujiwara made Fubiki see (episode 174).

It's the world of Manjoume's darkness. Manjoume ends up with failure in a pro league after cheating in a game. He has been worried for long, and he now feels relieved that he will be released from this depression and nightmare. The dark wave is approaching and consuming him. Next is the future darkness of Sho. Sho has suffered for long to make his dear brother's dream come true. He can't make a new pro league succeed even until his dear brother passes away. At this moment, Sho feels relieved that he doesn't have to hold anybody's hope and try hard for anyone anymore. Another dark wave then approaches Sho and consumes him.

The last one is Asuka's darkness. She is surrounded by her reflections that represent her future students who are against her as a teacher. Asuka is afraid that she can't be a good teacher to teach students a fun duel. The dark wave again consumes her like Sho and Manjoume. Three of them are now in the world of Darkness.

Darkness explains that they as well as people in the world have already thrown away everything. In the world of Darkness, there is no despair or hope. People's consciousness fades into one another in nothing (or in the world of nothing). They will become one and live there forever. It's the place where people select to repose by themselves. Judai doesn't want to believe and thinks that it's a lie.

Darkness begins the story of creation that truth started so faraway a long time ago. In the world of nothing, a card was born in darkness. Then, a front and back were determined for the beginning of the world. Stars and the earth were eventually born. In the earth, living things were created, and civilization was developed. Human beings appeared to be the top of all creations.

It's inevitable that human beings discovered Duel Monsters, the cards that represent the origin of the world. Darkness is talking about the ancient stone tablet of Pharaoh Atem (Yugi in the original series) and the Priest Seto, which was discovered by Pegasus J. Crawford. Duel Monsters later became a measure of people's hearts. It's like a mirror that reflects people's hearts. Judai seems to be confused at this point.

Darkness clarifies him by that, to compare to the world Judai lives, his world is a shadow or darkness. In other words, it's the dark side of Judai's world. If light had resided in duelist's hearts, the repose of the front would have been an outcome. However, duelists' hearts were dyed black and flew into the world of Darkness.

At this point, Judai can't stand listening any longer. He tells Darkness to stop joking. His eyes turn to Yubel's orange-green eyes before he flings away Darkness' power around his body (He counters Darkness' thought by Yubel's power). Judai doubts whether Darkness is saying that duelists' hearts were dirtied and that made Darkness appear. Darkness tells him that Judai has understood correctly. He actually has no ambition. It's power with a lot of darkness that woke him up.

Darkness' world is going to change with the current world. It's like a nature that water flows from a high to a lower place. Darkness calls himself a savior of the world. Judai argues how Darkness dare call himself a savior. He thinks that Darkness just erases memories of the others to bring them to his world of nothing. Darkness explains that rapid flowing current can't be stopped. He has to pass and eliminate any small obstacle along the way of the current.

Darkness Truth started so faraway in ancient time. A card was born in darkness where nothing existed in. Then a front and back were determined, and the beginning of the world came. Eventually, stars were born, and the world was created. Human beings stood at the top of all creations. It's said to be inevitable that humans discovered Duel Monsters and cards that were the origin of the world. But for that reason, Duel Monsters become a mirror that reflects hearts and a test that measures a heart of human.
Judai A mirror that reflects hearts?
Darkness To say, if we compare the world you live with a card face, my world is a shadow or darkness. If light keeps residing in a heart of duelists who manipulate Duel Monsters, the repose of the front world may be an agreement, who knows?...But many hearts of duelists were dyed by darkness and flew into our world.
Judai Stop joking! So What? Are you saying that duelists' hearts were dirtied, so you were appeared?
Darkness That's right. We don't have ambition. Power that included a lot of darkness woke us up. To change our world to this world, it's like a nature that water flows from a high place to a lower place....If you wanna say, we are the savior.
Judai What a savior!? You just delete memories of the others and take them to your world of nothing.
Darkness The rapid flowing current can't be stopped. Along the the current, we pass and eliminate all obstacles standing in our way.

Darkness says that Judai still doesn't understand anything and reminds him of looks attached by the power from his world. Judai instantly remembers what Saiou talked to him before about (episode 158). Saiou said that the revival of Chairman Kagemaru's Three Sacred Beasts, his case of the wave of light, and Yubel incidence were all combined to the dimension whose center was Duel Academia's island and probably were going to cause a new situation. The power of Darkness was attached to these people and their darkness of hearts.

Thinking about Saiou's words and Darkness' saying, Judai begins to calm down as his eyes turn back to normal. Anyway, he can't let Darkness say only over this. He didn't fall into darkness in order to call for Darkness. On the contrary, he obtains the power of darkness in order to beat him (Judai is talking about his power as Supreme King and the power of Yubel he obtained in Season III). As he is talking, his eyes again turn to the golden eyes of Supreme King before the orange-green eyes of Yubel.

Darkness realizes that Judai is human whose soul is combined with Duel Monster's spirits, but the spirit will no longer suit in his world. Judai's orange-green eyes begin to glow. He doesn't care what Darkness wants to say. As long as he lives, he won't give the world to the hand of Darkness. Darkness has no choice but eliminates Judai, and Judai accepts the challenge.

As Judai is standing by his duel disk, Darkness is expanding his 5 wings on his back. The spirit ball of Teacher Daitokuji gets scared and quickly hides himself with Pharaoh near the building. Judai realizes that the 5 wings on Darkness' back are actually his duel disk. Teacher Daitokuji tells Judai to be careful because this current opponent is much different. Judai understands his teacher's concern very well. If he can't defeat Darkness, the world can't return to normal. Darkness tells Judai to receive his judgment to have him wander in the loophole of light and shadow forever. At the same time, 5 cards appear on his hand as the initial drawn cards. Judai challenges him to come in. Then, the final battle between two has begun.

The first turn is with Darkness. A card appears on his hand as a drawn card in his turn. He then summons [Darkness Eye - 1/0/1000: If this card is on the field in attack mode, you can Normal Summon 1 monster in your hand without sacrifices. Once per turn, ignore the effect of Darkness. The controller of this card can check all the cards set in your Magic & Trap Card Zones] onto the field in attack position.

Next, Darkness activates field spell [Darkness - Field Spell: When activated, destroy all cards in your Magic & Trap Card Zones. Randomly set 1  Zero, Infinity, Darkness 1, Darkness 2, and Darkness 3 from your hand and/or deck. The cards set by this effect cannot be checked. During the End Phase of either turn, return the Trap cards on your side of the field back to being set and randomly switch where they are set. When a Magic or Trap card on your side of the field is removed from the field, destroy all Magic and Trap cards on your side of the field].

When this field spell is activated, 5 traps cards are randomly set up on the 5 wings on his back (These 5 wings again represent Darkness' duel disk slots). The 5 set-up trap cards also appear on the ground. Judai is surprised by that spell/trap card zones are fully set up in a moment. Darkness doesn't say anything, and here seems to be the end of his first turn.

Note: In anime, Darkness doesn't reveal what the 5 trap cards are. These trap cards have already been identified specifically on the field spell. Judai will know them in the following turns.

Darkness Eye
Monster Card
Darkness
Spell Card

The turn comes to Judai. Drawing a card, he summons [E-Hero Sparkman - 4/1600/1400] onto the field in attack position and declares its attack towards Darkness Eye immediately. At this moment, Darkness opens his face-down trap card [Zero - Permanent Trap: If Darkness has been activated, activate the following effect. If Infinity has not been activated, activate 1 card in your Magic & Trap Card Zone. If Infinity has been activated, activate all cards that are between this card and Infinity].

When Zero is activated, another set-up trap [Infinity - Permanent Trap: If Darkness has been activated, activate the following effect. If Zero has not been activated, activate 1 card in your Magic & Trap Card Zone. If Zero has been activated, activate all cards that are between this card and Zero] on the field is opened.

According to the effects of Zero and Infinity, when two of them are activated, any card between them can be activated. There is a card between, and it's opened. It's a trap card [Darkness 1 - Permanent Trap: If this card is first activated when Zero and Infinity have been activated on your side of the field, it gains the following effect: Destroy 1 card on your opponent's side of the field. Then, every time a Permanent Trap card with Darkness in its name is activated, destroy 1 card on your opponent's side of the field].

Noted: Once per turn, the special effect of Darkness Eye allows Darkness to check his 5 face-down trap cards. Thus, Darkness knows which trap card he should activate first to make the other cards effective. The position of all 5 trap cards are reset at every end phase. The cards are all faced down, so Darkness has no chance to open them correctly without the special effect of Darkness Eye. Anime doesn't present that Darkness activates this special effect of Darkness Eye until Yubel guides Judai in the following turns. Thus, Darkness keeps opening Zero and Infinity correctly, and Judai still gets confused by how Darkness can do this correctly all the times.

Zero
Trap Card
Darkness 1
Trap Card
Infinity
Trap Card

According to Darkness 1's effect, when it's activated with Zero & Infinity previously activated, one card on Judai's field must be destroyed. Thus, E-Hero Sparkman is destroyed. Judai is amazed by such an effect. Darkness seems to dominate the battle. This is the duel of god and the last for Judai to cut down his spirit.

 
 
summary - second period
episode 177 summarized by Janime


Still in Judai's turn, after E-Hero Sparkman is destroyed, Judai plays spell card [Relationship - Spell: Special Summon 1 monster with E-Hero in its name, that has an attack power identical to a monster destroyed during this turn, from your deck] from his hand. This spell card allows Judai to special summon a monster with the same attack points as the destroyed monster from his deck.

Thus, Judai special summons [E-Hero Necro Darkman - 5/1600/1800: While this card is in your Graveyard, you can Normal Summon 1 monster from your hand that includes E-Hero in its card name without Tributing, You can only use this effect once while this card is in the Graveyard] from his deck onto the field in defense position. Setting up a face-down card, he ends his turn.

The spirit ball of Teacher Daitokuji flies closer to Judai and warns him not to lower his guard. Darkness' sense is not normal. Judai understands well what his teacher wants to say. He has no idea either what is going to happen in this duel. In Judai's end phase, Darkness activates the effect of the spell card, Darkness. In the end phase of both sides, Darkness' 5 set-up trap cards must to be randomly rearranged. In other words, all cards are faced down, and their position are reset randomly. Judai and Teacher Daitokuji become very surprised. Judai's turn seems to end here although he doesn't say to finish it.

The turn moves to Darkness. A card appears on his hand and represents his drawn card. Darkness then activates the special effect of Darkness Eye. When it is on the field in attack mode, he is able to summon any monster without tribute requirement. Thus, Darkness can normal summon [Darkness Destroyer - ?/2300: When this card with higher attack power attacks a monster in defense mode with lower defense power, inflict Battle Damage to your opponent equal to the difference. This card can attack twice during one Battle Phase] without tribute onto the field in attack position.

According to the special effect of Darkness Destroyer, it can attack twice in a battle phase. Also, if it attacks a monster in defense position and its attack points are higher than defense points of the defense monster, Judai has to receive damage equal to differences. Teacher Daitokuji begins to get scared. If Darkness uses the card (Darkness 1) to destroy Judai's monster as he did with E-Hero Sparkman previously, Judai will be certainly finished off since he has no monster to protect himself.

However, Judai thinks that he still has a chance as long as Darkness is unable to identify his 5 face-down trap cards set up randomly. It's possible that Darkness will open the wrong ones. Darkness is afraid that he won't miss anything. He opens his face-down trap cards, and there appear Zero and Infinity. Judai is shocked by that Darkness again could open the right cards. Zero and Infinity appear to be on the left and right positions, and other 3 face-down cards are between them. The effects of Zero and Infinity allow the three face-down trap cards between them to be fully activated.

Note: In order to have Darkness 1, Darkness 2, and Darkness 3 effective, Darkness is required to open Zero and Infinity first. Actually, once per turn, Darkness can identify his trap card position by the special effect of Darkness Eye. Again, anime presents that Darkness doesn't reveal this effect, and Judai isn't aware of it. Judai will know it later by Yubel's help.

One of the three face-down trap cards is [Darkness 2 - Permanent Trap: If this card is first activated when Zero and Infinity have been activated on your side of the field, it gains the following effect: Increase the attack power of 1 monster on your side of the field by 1000 points for the current turn only. Then, every time a Permanent Trap card with Darkness in its name is activated, increase the attack power of 1 monster on your side of the field by 1000 points for the current turn only], following by Darkness 1.

The last one is [Darkness 3 - Permanent Trap: If this card is first activated when Zero and Infinity have been activated on your side of the field, it gains the following effect: Inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent. Then, every time a Permanent Trap card with Darkness in its name is activated, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent].

Darkness 2
Trap Card
Darkness 3
Trap Card

By the effect of Darkness 2, it can increase the attack points of a monster on the field by 1000 points. Also, for any trap card with Darkness in its name activated after Darkness 2, 1000 points can additionally be added to a monster on the field. Darkness certainly applies this effect to increase the attack points of Darkness Destroy. Darkness 2 is activated first, following by Darkness 1 and Darkness 3 in order. Therefore, the total attack points of Darkness Destroyer become 5300 (2300+1000*3).

Judai is getting shocked. Not only Darkness Destroy has very high attack points of 5300 but it also can perform twice attacks in this turn. As Teacher Daitokuji has expected, this is actually the worst. Darkness finally declares the attack of Darkness Destroyer towards E-Hero Necro Darkman.

At this moment, Judai opens his face-down trap card [Hero Barrier - If there is a face-up monster on your side of the field that includes E-Hero in its card name, negate 1 attack from your opponent's monster]. According to its effect, when an E-Hero monster (E-Hero Necro Darkman) is on the field, Judai is able to negate an attack of a monster. Therefore, the attack of Darkness Destroyer towards E-Hero Necro Darkness is negated.

Because Darkness Destroyer can perform twice attacks in a battle and Hero Barrier can work only for an attack, E-Hero Necro Darkman is destroyed by the second strike. The special effect of Darkness Destroyer can inflict damage equal to differences to Judai, so his LP dramatically decreases to 500 (4000+1800-5300). Judai screams as he is knocked off to the ground.

Darkness thinks Judai better give up. Probably, Judai is the only one in the world fighting now. There is nobody left in the world who believes in Judai's power. Judai doubts how it matters. Although he is the only one left in the world, he intends to stand until the end. Judai seems to talk big but he is struggling so hard to stand up. The previous strike impacts his entire body.

Meanwhile, the spirit of Yubel appears behind him and disagrees to what Judai said that he was fighting alone. Teacher Daitokuji is surprised by Yubel's appearance. It's the first time he has met this monster spirit. For Yubel, it's too fast for Judai she knows to be beaten here. She reminds him that Judai isn't alone. As she used to say, she is always with him. The spirit of Yubel then disappears into Judai's body. Judai's eyes turn to Yubel's orange-green eyes. Judai finally stands up and says that there is another spirit that believes in him inside his body. He gains his fighting spirit as realizing that he isn't fighting alone.

At Darkness' end phase and in addition to the effect of the field spell, Darkness, the 5 face-up trap cards (Zero, Infinity, Darkness 1, Darkness 2, and Darkness 3) must be faced down and randomly rearranged. Their positions are all reset. Also, the attack points of Darkness Destroy returns to its 2300 original strength points. Darkness ends his turn at this point.

In Judai's turn, he draws a card and activates the special effect of E-Hero Necro Darkman. When it is in the cemetery, Judai can summon a monster without tributes. Thus, he selects to summon [E-Hero Neos - 7/2500/2000] onto the field in attack points. At this moment, the special effect of Darkness Eye is about to be activated. It will allow Darkness to check the order of his 5 face-down trap cards. If he knows the position of Zero and Infinity, he can open them correctly. Judai hasn't been aware of this special effect yet. However, he is now not fighting alone.

Effect Shut
Spell Card

Yubel calls Judai and tells him to move at this moment. Judai quickly plays spell card [Effect Shut - Quick Play Spell: You can only activate this when a Monster's effect is activated. Negate that effect and destroy that monster] from his hand. This spell can negate the special effect of Darkness Eye and destroy it. Yubel reveals the truth of how this play is important as Judai is listening. She realizes that Darkness Eye obtains the special ability to allow Darkness to check his face-down trap cards. Thus, Darkness always knows the order of the 5 trap cards whose orders are reset randomly at the end phase according to the effect of the field spell, Darkness.

Without knowing all face-down trap cards, Darkness has to open one of them randomly. It appears to be Darkness 1. Yubel feels sorry for Darkness' failure. The ability of Darkness 1 can be effective only when Zero and Infinity have been activated. Without Zero and Infinity, the activation of Darkness 1 is meaningless.

It's now Judai's chance. He declares the attack of E-Hero to destroy Darkness Destroyer. This strike reduces Darkness' LP to 3800 (4000+2300-2500). Darkness looks surprised very much. It appears to Judai the current is moving to his side. Setting up a face-down card, he ends his turn. At his end phase, according to the effect of the field spell, Darkness, the 5 trap cards are faced down and their positions are reset randomly.

Darkness Outsider
Trap Card

Darkness calls for his turn and gets a drawn card. If another spirit is supporting Judai, Darkness plans to take it apart from him. Darkness summons [Darkness Outsider - ?/0: By discarding 1 card in your hand, you can swap the positions of 1 monster on your side of the field and a monster in your opponent's deck] onto the field in attack position. Judai looks amazed by this monster as Yubel is telling him to be careful. By the special effect of Darkness Outsider, Darkness has to discard a card on his hand to exchange a monster on his field with a monster in Judai's deck.

Darkness realizes that Yubel is in Judai's deck, so he selects to exchange Yubel with Darkness Outsider. Darkness Outsider pulls Yubel from Judai's body. Darkness orders Yubel to become his servant. Yubel is therefore split from Judai's body and pulled onto Darkness' field.

Yubel is struggling as Darkness is reading her effective ability, [Yubel - 10/0/0:This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Any Battle Damage inflicted to the controller of this card as a result of it being in battle is reduced to 0, and the same amount of Battle Damage is inflicted to their opponent instead. Tribute 1 monster during each of your End Phases. If you do not, this card is destroyed. When this card is destroyed by a card effect (except this card's effect), you can Special Summon 1 Yubel - Das Abscheulich Ritter from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard].

Darkness certainly hopes to apply Yubel's ability to Judai. He gives an order to Yubel to eliminate Judai at once. Yubel is pulled by Darkness Outsider on Judai's field to attack E-Hero Neos. Her struggling seems to be useless. Teacher Daitokuji is concerned by that if Judai gets this hit from Yubel, he will be finished off immediately by Yubel's special effect.

Note: Yubel has 0 attack point and she can't be destroyed in battle. Darkness as the current controller of Yubel won't get any battle damage. Yubel's special effect will inflict all battle damage back to the opponent. Thus, if she attacks E-Hero Neos, Judai has to receive 2500 damage points and his LP will be come 0 at once (500-2500).

Judai opens his face-down trap card [Astral Shift - Trap: You can activate this card when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Your opponent's monster's attack becomes a direct attack on the player. Then, draw 1 card from your deck] at this moment. Following its attack, Yubel has to switch her attack target from E-Hero Neos to Judai, and Judai then can draw a card.

Yubel turns to give her punch to Judai, Judai is receiving her fist gently. He tells her that he will definitely take her back no matter what. Yubel believes that it's certainly what she expects. She is then pulled back onto Darkness' side. Because Yubel has 0 attack points, Judai receives no damage from her strike. Also, Astral Shift allows him to draw a card. Judai looks stunned shortly after seeing the card he has just got.

Still in Darkness' turn, he special summon [Darkness Slime - 1/?/0: If the the combined attack power of the monsters on your side of the field equal 0, you can Special Summon this card from your hand in defense mode. When this card is successfully Special Summoned, this card's attack and defense power will be the same as 1 of your opponent's monsters] onto the field in defense position.

By the special effect of Darkness Slime, it can be special summoned from Darkness' hand onto the field in defense position when the combined attack points of all monsters on his field are 0. There is only Yubel with 0 attack point on Darkness' field, so Darkness Slime can satisfy its special summon requirement. In addition to Darkness Slime's special effect, its attack/defense points will be the same as one of Judai's monsters. There is only E-Hero Neos on Judai's field, so the defense points of Darkness Slime become 2500, E-Hero Neos' attack points. Darkness Slime also changes its form into Dark E-Hero Neos and sits in defense position.

Astral Shift
Trap Card
Darkness Slime
Monster Card

The turn comes to Judai. Drawing a card, he realizes that Darkness doesn't understand relationship between him and Yubel. Thus, he shows it by playing spell card [Super Fusion ~ Chouyuugou - Quick Play Spell: Discard 1 card from your hand. Send Fusion Material monsters your or your opponents control listed on a Fusion Monster to the Graveyard and Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck. When this card is activated, it is not possible to activate the effect of Spell, Trap or Effect Monster cards (This Special Summon is treated as Fusion Summon)] from his hand.

E-Hero Neos Wiseman
Monster Card

Following its effect, Judai discards a card on his hand (Winged Kuriboh) to the cemetery to fuse E-Hero Neos on his field with Yubel on Darkness' field into [E-Hero Neos Wiseman - 10/3000/3000: This card cannot be destroyed by a card's effect. If this card conducts battle, inflict damage equal to your opponent equal to the target monster attack power and recover your Life Points by the defense power of the target monster. When this card is destroyed by result of battle, by removing 1 Yubel in your Cemetery from the game, you can Special Summon 1 E-Hero Neos in your Cemetery].

Teacher Daitokuji is very amazed by seeing Judai's new Neos monster. Judai explains the special effect of E-Hero Neos Wiseman that when this monster attacks, damage equal to the target monster will be inflicted to the opponent and Judai will gain LP by the defense power of the target monster.

Judai declares the attack of E-Hero Neos Wiseman to destroy the fake one (Darkness Slime currently in the form of Dark E-Hero Neos). Darkness Slime is eventually destroyed by tremendous power of E-Hero Neos Wiseman. Darkness' LP decreases to 1800 (3800-2500), Judai's LP recovers to 3000 (500+2500). Darkness Slime consumes E-Hero Neos' attack and defense points, so Judai gains luck on his high LP recovery but Darkness loses a luck on high damage.

Teacher Daitokuji is so happy that Judai can finally reverse the game. Judai tells Darkness that he will prove in this duel the strength of the relationship which Darkness quibbles that clumsy people believe in. Darkness' eyes glow as he looks very mad at Judai. Judai's eyes glow in response by orange-green eyes of Yubel. He will also show that he is able to save all people in the world.

to be continued...

Yubel What an awkward bond! It's just like you.
Judai If one strikes, compete together. It's the proof of someone who understands.
Yubel Hi Hi, you have been smart by my help, haven't you, Judai?
Judai Again...talk back...
Yubel Next, [The Last Hope! Yuki Judai].
Judai I will show you that I can save everyone in this world.
Yubel I believe in you, Judai....become one for your own power...
Judai Leave it on me, Yubel. I will definitely defeat Darkness!
