The duel between Judai and Darkness is continued. Judai successfully fuses E-Hero Neos on his field with Yubel on Darkness' field into E-Hero Neos Wiseman. He declares its attack to destroy Darkness Slime transforming into E-Hero Neos. Darkness' LP currently remains at 1800 as Judai's LP recovers to 3000. Judai tells Darkness that he will show the strength of the relationship that Darkness always insults.

As Judai seems to dominate the game, Darkness begins to laugh. Judai asks whether there is something strange. Darkness tells Judai that he is amused by the relationship of friends Judai is talking about. All friends whom Judai believe in have already lost their memories about him and can't hear him. Despite all of these facts, Darkness doubts whether Judai still wants to save them out. Judai looks mad and thinks about his friends. It seems true as Darkness has just said. All of his friends have fallen into darkness by their own darkness of hearts. Nobody may be able to listen to or care about Judai at all.

Darkness Necro Slime Monster Card

The turn is now with Darkness. A card appears on his hand as a drawn card. He then summons [Darkness Necro Slime - 1/0: Send this card on your side of the field to the Cemetery. Special Summon 1 monster with Darkness in its name from your Cemetery] onto the field in attack position and activates its special effect by sending it into the cemetery to special summon Darkness Eye from the graveyard onto the field in defense position. Teacher Daitokuji becomes very worried at this point. If Darkness activates the special effect of Darkness Eye, he will be able to check 5 face-down trap cards previously set up randomly and to play Zero-Infinity combo again.

Teacher Daitokuji is right. Darkness can verify all 5 trap cards and open Zero and Infinity correctly. According to Zero's and Infinity's effects, the two cards between them can be opened, and they are Darkness 1 and Darkness 2. Because Darkness 1 is activated after Zero & Infinity, its effect can be played. Darkness activates the effect of Darkness 1 to destroy one monster on Judai's field. He aims this effect against E-Hero Neos Wiseman, and there is explosion.

Darkness is laughing and thinking that he finally makes it to destroy E-Hero Neos Wiseman. While smoke fades out, E-Hero Neos Wiseman appears to stand firmly. Judai feels sorry to Darkness that E-Hero Neos Wiseman has special ability that it can't be destroyed by a card effect. Although Darkness fails to defeat E-Hero Neos Wiseman, he thinks that Judai hasn't been aware of his true power yet. At the end phase, the effect of the field spell, Darkness, makes all trap cards face down and randomly set them up in new and unknown positions. Darkness doesn't do anything else but ends his turn.

Note: Technically, the effect of Darkness 1 works in 2 ways as following:

• Destroy 1 card on Judai field
• Destroy 1 card for each activated permanent trap with Darkness in its name. Darkness 2 is a permanent trap opened after Darkness 1, so 1 more card on Judai's field is allowed to be destroyed.

Totally, 2 cards on Judai's field can be destroyed by the effect of Darkness 1. However, Judai has only 1 card, E-Hero Neos Wiseman, on the field, so it becomes the only target. Furthermore, Darkness 2 isn't the first card activated after Zero and Infinity, so its effect can't be played. It as a continuous trap card nevertheless can be played to support the effect of Darkness 1.

The turn comes to Judai. Drawing a card, he declares the attack of E-Hero Neos Wiseman to destroy Darkness Eye. Basically, E-Hero Neos Wiseman has a special effect to inflict damage equal to the attack points of an attack target to the opponent. Thus, even though Darkness Eye is in defense position when destroyed, Darkness still has a chance to receive battle damage. Fortunately, Darkness Eye has 0 attack point, so Darkness doesn't receive any damage.

Judai claims the remaining special effect of E-Neos Wiseman that he can gain LP by the defense points of Darkness Eye. Thus, his LP recovers to 4000 (3000+1000). Teacher Daitokuji is glad to see that Judai's LP has returned to the start points. Judai currently smiles and looks confident. Just one more and he will be able to beat Darkness. Here seems to be the end of his turn.

Darkness begins to chuckles. He tells Judai that it's useless if Judai really thinks that he will be able to beat him. Only a will of 1 human is not gonna work, and Darkness will have Judai know about it soon.

Darkness Seed Monster Card

In Darkness' turn, he gets a drawn card and activates the special effect of [Darkness Seed - 2/1000/1000: Special Summon this card to your side of the field during your second Standby Phase after it's sent to the Cemetery. This card Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card's controller's Life Points are less than 4000 during either player's End Phase, this card's controller's Life Points become 4000] in the cemetery. Darkness Seed was previously sent to the cemetery by the special effect of Darkness Outsider.

Once the power Darkness Seed is activated, the power of people and cards sealed inside the black sphere bursts out and stabs through Darkness' body. Teacher Daitokuji and Judai are pretty shocked by this picture. Darkness is looking painful as describing the effect of Darkness Seed that when sent into the cemetery, it can be special summoned onto the field in the second (which is now) standby phase. Furthermore, its special effect allows Darkness to recover and have 4000 LP at each end phase if he appears to have LP less than 4000. This is the power of darkness from the black sphere transferred into is body by Darkness Seed.

Darkness tells Judai that no matter how much Judai struggles, he won't be able to win. Judai should better understand this than anybody. Darkness thinks that Judai should be aware of his natural identity very well. Teacher Daitokuji looks confused by what identity Darkness is talking about. Although Judai seems to understand well, he declares that he doesn't want to recognize or accept it.

Darkness says that it's the truth even though Judai tries to deny it. His true identity is the future of human beings. Darkness tells Judai to take a look at the world and thinks carefully what is going to happen. The black sphere behind Darkness is now reflecting the pictures of the earth. Deep to the atmosphere is the ground and sea level. Darkness describes that unusual weather, an extraordinary natural occurrence, terrorism, and dispute have never stopped. There are large numbers of abnormal incident caused by broken humans.

Darkness moves his hand closer to Judai, making him scared and close his eyes. The hand of Darkness begins to glow. When Judai opens his eyes, he finds himself in the world of ruins. Even Teacher Daitokuji and Pharaoh are also brought into this vision. Teacher Daitokuji understands that here is the future world that Darkness is talking about. The world is full of destruction and ruins. There is no sign of any life form.

Darkness explains that here is their future and unavoidable destiny. Human begins have already become exhausted to seek for possibility in their invisible or unpredictable future. Through the dept of their hearts, the students of Duel Academia get scared of appearing in the dangerous world. They neither believe in their power nor desire to confront the dangerous world. Judai keeps listening and understands that Darkness also refers to his friends, Asuka, Sho, Fubuki, and Manjoume, who have lost hope after seeing their hopeless futures. This kind of thought dyes cards black and gives power to Darkness.

Judai certainly doesn't accept and believe what Darkness is saying, moving on his turn. Drawing a card, he declares the attack of E-Hero Neos Wiseman towards Darkness Seed. This strike reduces Darkness' LP to 2000 (4000+1000-3000). By the special effect of E-Hero Neos Wiseman, Darkness has to receive further damage equal to the attack points of Darkness Seed. Thus, his LP further decreases to 1000 (2000-1000). In addition, the defense points of Darkness Seed can be added to Judai's LP. Therefore, Judai's LP goes up to 5000 (4000+1000).

When smoke fades away, Judai is surprised by seeing Darkness Seed remain on the field. Darkness says that it's useless. According to the special effect of Darkness Seed special summoned onto the field by its own special effect (special summoned back from the cemetery in his second standby phase), it can't be destroyed in battle. Judai sets up a card and ends his turn at this point.

Darkness begins to chuckle and opens his arms widely. He tells Judai to look and revere his world. His power actually comes from Judai's friends who don't believe in their future. Dark power, which is really darkness of people's hearts, in the black sphere is the source of power flowing into Darkness. Judai looks very nervous and can't argue anything. Whatever Darkness says is true because his friends give up their future by themselves.

At this Judai's end phase, Darkness claims the special effect of Darkness Seed. When he has LP less than 4000, it can always recover to 4000 points. Judai's previous strike becomes meaningless. The turn now comes to Darkness. Getting a drawn card, he sacrifices Darkness Seed in order to summon [Darkness Bramble - 6/2000/?: {If this card's controller's Life Points are less than 4000 during either player's End Phase, this card's controller's Life Points become 4000. Once per turn, this card's controller can ignore the effects of Darkness and check the cards set in his Magic & Trap Card Zones.}] onto the field in attack position.

Darkness explains that Darkness Bramble inherits the effect of Darkness Seed. It also allows him to check his face-down trap cards. Teacher Daitokuji understands that Darkness has already got the same ability as Darkness Eye's in hand. Because Darkness is allowed to verify the 5 face-down trap cards, he knows the positions of Zero and Infinity.

Darkness Bramble Monster Card

Darkness declares to open Zero and Infinity, which are the left and right edge cards, correctly. When Zero and Infinity are first opened, the cards between them, Darkness 3, Darkness 1, and Darkness 2, are opened respectively. [Darkness 3 - 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] is opened first, so its effect is activated.

By the effect of Darkness 1, Judai has to receive 1000 damage points. Also, he has to receive additional damage points by 1000 for each continuous trap card with Darkness in its name that is opened after Darkness 3. Darkness 1 and Darkness 2 are opened after Darkness 3, so Judai has to receive additional 2000 damage points (1000*2). This Darkness combo results in 3000 direct damage points (1000+2000) in total.

Note: Again, only the effect of Darkness 3 can be effective while Darkness 1 and Darkness 2 are just used to support the effect of Darkness 3. Darkness 1 and Darkness 2 are not the first card activated after Zero and Infinity, so their original effects can't be played.

The power of Darkness 1 and Darkness 2 is added up to Darkness 3 before it's fired to Judai's body. Judai screams as his LP decreases to 2000 (5000-3000). Teacher Daitokuji is concerned at this moment. There may be no more next time for him. At Darkness' end phase, all 5 trap cards are faced down, and their positions are rearranged randomly.

The turn comes to Judai. Once he draws a card, Darkness activates the special effect of Darkness Seed to verify the positions of his 5 face-down trap cards. Then, he can open Zero and Infinity correctly again. The cards between Zero and Infinity are Darkness 3 and Darkness 1. Repeatedly, by the effect of Darkness 3, 2000 damage points can be inflicted to Judai directly.

Teacher Daitokuji is afraid that this is the worst for Judai. Judai has only 2000 LP. The effect of Darkness 3 can cause the same 2000 damage points (1000*2) exactly: 1000 points from the impact of Darkness 3 itself and another 1000 points from the impact of Darkness 1 opened after Darkness 3. If Judai receives these damage points, he will be finished off at once. Darkness says farewell to Judai as the power of Darkness 1 is added up to Darkness 3 and eventually fired out to Judai.

Quickly, Judai plays [Quick Summon ~ Sokkou Shoukan - Quick Play Spell: Normal Summon 1 monster in your hand] from his hand to normal summon [Cocoon Pantail - 2/800/300: When a Neo Space is on the field, you can tribute this card in order to Special Summon 1 Neo Spacian Black Panther from your hand or Deck] from his hand onto the field in defense position. Next, he opens his face-down trap card [Cocoon Veil - Trap: Offer a monster on your side of the field that includes Cocoon in its card name as a tribute to decrease damage to a player from an effect to 0. Afterwards, Special Summon 1 monster written on the monster, offered as a tribute, that includes Cocoon in its name that includes Neo Spacian in its name from your Deck, hand, or Graveyard].

Cocoon Veil allows Judai to sacrifice Cocoon Pantail on the field to decrease 2000 damage points from the effect of Darkness 3 to 0. When Cocoon Pantail is sent to the cemetery, [Neo Spacian Black Panther - 3/1000/500: Once per turn, you can select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field. While this card is face-up on your side of the field, until the end of this turn this card's name is treated as the selected monster's name, and it gets the selected monster's effect(s)] can be special summoned from his deck onto the field in defense position.

Teacher Daitokuji and Darkness look amazed by that Judai could survive the crisis. Still in Judai's turn and in his battle phase, he declares the attack of E-Hero Neos Wiseman towards Darkness Bramble. At this moment, Darkness activates the special effect of [Darkness Raincrow - 8/?/?: When an opposing monster declares an attack, send a Darkness Bramble on your side of the field and this card in your hand to the Cemetery. Special Summon 1 Darkness Neosphere from your deck] on his hand.

According to its special effect, when Judai declares an attack, Darkness can send Darkness Bramble on the field and Darkness Raincrow on hand into the cemetery to special summon [Darkness Neosphere - ?/4000/4000: {If this card's controller's Life Points are less than 4000 during either player's End Phase, this card's controller's Life Points become 4000. Once per turn, this card's controller can ignore the effects of Darkness and check the cards set in his Magic & Trap Card Zones and change their orders. In addition, once per turn, you can change the order of cards set in your opponent's Magic & Trap Zones and place a face-up Magic or Trap card to set position.}] from his deck onto the field in attack position.

Darkness Raincrow Monster Card	Darkness Neosphere Monster Card

Judai is very amazed by seeing a high-class monster with 4000 attack points. Darkness explains that Darkness Neosphere inherits the special effect of Darkness Bramble. Furthermore, Darkness Neosphere allows Darkness to check his trap cards and even to rearrange their positions as he wants. This effect really worries Judai. Darkness' traps appear to be his worst enemy. If these traps are activated again, his LP will be totally wiped out.

Note: Regardless of a real play, the following commonly happens in anime. When an attack target disappears, any declared attack becomes invalid. When Judai declares the attack of E-Hero Neos Wiseman towards E-Hero Bramble, E-Hero Neos Wiseman has a special effect to inflict damage equal to ATK of the target monster to the opponent and increase Judai's LP by the defense power of the target monster. The attack target of E-Hero Neos Wiseman is Darkness Bramble. Darkness sends Darkness Bramble along with Darkness Raincrow to the cemetery in order to special summon Darkness Neosphere. When Darkness Bramble as an attack target disappears, E-Hero Neos Wiseman has no attack target and has to stop its strike accordingly. No damage is inflicted, and Judai's LP doesn't change, either.

Darkness begins to chuckle and tells Judai that it's useless for him to struggle and do anything. There is nobody left to lend him power. Judai persists that he won't give up anyway. At this timing, he activates the special effect of Neo Spacian Black Panther. Once per turn, he can treat Neo Spacian Black Panther as a monster on the opponent's field. Judai certainly selects Darkness Neosphere, so Neo Spacian Black Panther changes its form into Darkness Neosphere and also obtains its special effect. It still maintains defense position.

Note: Anime presents that Neo Spacian Black Panther transforming into Darkness Neosphere has 4000 defense points. Actually, Neo Spacian Black Panther should consume only the special effect of Darkness Neosphere not ATK and DEF. This may be just an animation show that Neo Spacian Black Panther can copy everything (power and ability) of Darkness Neosphere. It doesn't have any impact to the game anyway.

Judai activates the special effect of Darkness Neosphere on his field to rearrange all set-up trap cards on Darkness' field and to set back the field spell, Darkness, into set position. He warns Darkness to be aware of flipping this field spell up again. If the field spell, Darkness, is activated or flipped up, it requires all cards in spell/trap card zones destroyed. In other words, the current 5 face-down trap cards will be destroyed once the field spell is reactivated.

Note: As a reminder, there are 5 spell/trap card zones and 1 field card zone. They are 6 slots in total. This play of Judai is to rearrange 5 traps' positions of Darkness in the spell/trap card zones and to flip the field spell, Darkness, to set position.

Teacher Daitokuji admires Judai for his nice play. By this, he believes that Darkness' traps have been sealed. Setting up a face-down card, Judai ends his turn.

The turn moves to Darkness. Although he can't play Zero & Infinity trap combo, he still has overwhelming attack of Darkness Neosphere. He declares the attack of Darkness Neosphere to destroy E-Hero Neos Wiseman at once. This strike reduces Judai's LP to 1000 (2000+3000-4000). At this moment, the spirit of Yubel appears inside Judai's mind. She guides him to activate the special effect of E-Hero Neos Wiseman by removing her from game to call back E-Hero Neos.

As Judai seems to hesitate, Yubel tells him that he will truly have to fight alone from now on. She also convinces him to believe in his own power and he will be able to defeat Darkness. Yubel then disappears. Judai looks a bit upset before turning to confront Darkness. He has already made a decision, activating the special effect of E-Hero Neos Wiseman. When it is destroyed in battle, he can remove Yubel from play in order to special summon E-Hero Neos onto the field in attack position.

Darkness thinks that Judai better gives up. Although Judai struggles badly, he has no chance to win. Judai tells Darkness that people are going to leave this place (the school) soon when they graduate. Darkness previously said that there were many things that people couldn't pass. In fact, people have to keep confronting it no matter how much difficult it is in order to open their own future.

At this point, Darkness thinks that Judai hasn't understood anything yet. He thinks that Judai can say because he has strength to fight but the others actually don't. Judai denies completely, saying that Darkness is the one who doesn't understand anything.

Judai appears in Supreme King form and reminds himself of what happened before in the different world. He actually doesn't have strength as Darkness said. In the different world, his friends passed away one by one and lost hope and trust on him. Judai's heart was once drown into darkness. His friends were brought together in the cruel eyes. Thus, Judai understands well that if he just believes in cards, he is not alone.

The bond of friends who support and fight together can't be cut off in any incidences. Judai picks up E-Hero Neos card from his duel disk and shows it up, saying that this is the power suppressed in a card (the power to create a bond among duelists and to make friends). Darkness looks confused by what Judai is talking about.

Judai turns to focus on his friends and everyone. He shouts loudly, trying to call everyone sealed in darkness faraway. Sho, Asuka, and Manjoume captured in darkness begin to open their eyes, but their faces still look blank. Judai tries to convince people importance of their precious cards. A card is full of memory that a duelist fighting many people.

At first, a card is plain and has nothing special. Judai says as taking out his E-Hero Neos. Looking at this card, he can remember a lot of memory filled in it. Once a duelist uses a card, a lot of memory is inserted. It's the memory that a person fights many people, that sorrow and joy are shared among duelists, and that anger or hatred burst out. Everything is included into a card that becomes the history a duelist has experienced.

This is called a bond. Judai tries to encourage people to believe in this bond and to remember their own cards and people whom they have dueled with. These people are true friends. When tough time comes, people will never be alone as long as they believe in the cards that support them. Judai tells everyone not to be desperate to the future that they haven't carried out anything yet.

In Manjoume's future, he is standing in a duel match while wave of darkness is approaching him behind. He seems to hear what Judai's saying before drawing a glowing card in his deck. The card appears to be Ojama Yellow. In this tough time, Manjoume believes that he has just heard Judai's voice.

Meanwhile, Sho is facing his dark future by confronting a duelist in a new and unsuccessful pro league he creates with Ryo. Wave of darkness is moving closer behind him. The top card in his deck then glows like Manjoume's card. Sho draws it, and it appears to be Power Bond. He believes that he did hear it, the voice of Judai. Next is Asuka standing in front of a class while wave of darkness is approaching her behind. A card she is holding begins to glow. It's Doble Passe. Asuka believes that she is hearing the voice of Judai.

Note: Refer to for episode 173 for the detailed stories of each character's dark future.

Back to Manjoume, he has already realized that he hasn't carried out anything yet as Judai said. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of future. Eliminating his hesitation, Manjoume decides to summon Ojama Yellow onto the field in defense position. The game continues as his opponent is attacking by Mad Sword Beast. The result of the game should end by defeat or cheating of Manjoume according to his dark future. However, this time is slightly different. Manjoume isn't scared of losing anymore and is ready for any outcome. He tells himself that if he loses, he just climbs up from the bottom again.

For Sho, he has already remembered everything he has fought with Power Bond. While his opponent is about to leave the duel field because he isn't interested in this unpopular pro league, Sho stops him. Sho tells his opponent that he will make it. He will make this the best duel no matter what kind of places will be.

On Asuka's side, she looks at Doble Passe and realizes well that as long as she has this card, she has never been alone. She always has friends whom she has fought together. Asuka turns her face straight to the students before giving the answer to them (In episode 173, her students asked how a dropout like them could be an elite). To convince her students, she can talk about Yuki Judai, a dropout but successful duelist who has never given up. Asuka smiles and looks confident to teach the students by her experience with Judai.

Judai	Everyone! Can you hear me? Can my voice reach you? Look! The card you grasp...the only one card is certainly there. Using that card...the memory of fighting many people...At first it's just a plain card without anything special. That is...fighting with people...sorrow and joy that were shared among people fighting with...anger and hatred...those memories were inserted into a card. It's the history that you guys have experienced. That's a bond. So, believe in it! Remember your own cards...the faces of people whom you fight with! They are true friends. When tough time comes, if we believe in the cards that support our future, we will have never been alone. Don't be desperate to the future! We haven't carried out anything yet, have we?
Manjoume	Judai...
Ojama Yellow	Big Brother~
Manjoume	Judai's voice...
Sho	I heard it.
Asuka	Judai...
Manjoume	(That's right. We haven't carried out anything yet. There is no need to be afraid of future. In case I lose, I had better climb up again).
Sho	(That's right. We know it...many things that we have fought with our cards). Please hold on! No matter what kind of a place is, I will do it, our greatest duel.
Asuka	(We know it. As long as I have this card, there are friends fighting along with staying with me). If you are talking about a dropout who has never given up, I will tell you about a duelist named Yuki Judai.
Manjoume	We know it.
Sho	At any time, we are not alone.

Manjoume, Sho, and Asuka have eventually been aware. At anytime, they have never been alone. Not only 3 of them but also everybody sealed in the dark sphere has just understood the same thing. Light begins to glow brightly in the black sphere before moving out of it like light rain. People have finally broken their darkness of hearts by themselves while returning to their hometowns around the world.

O'Brien reappears in the street he lost to Mr.T while Mizuchi and Saiou reappear in front of KC Building. Many lights are falling to Duel Academia. Manjoume, Asuka, Kenzan, Sho, Fujiwara, Johan, and many students reappear in the front courtyard where Judai is dueling. Fubuki, Rei, Teacher Ayukawa, Junko, and Momoe reappear in front of the blue dorm.

In the front school's courtyard, Johan is holding and taking care of Fujiwara who still has the impact from his previous duel with Judai. The spirit of Teacher Daitokuji is so happy to see everybody safe while flying around. He tells people that they have been captured in darkness. Manjoume remembers that he previously heard Judai's voice. Then, people turn to pay attention to Judai dueling Darkness in front of them.

Darkness hardly believes that this can happen. Judai explains that people seem to dislike Darkness' world. He also says that Darkness didn't take people's memory but their irreplaceable bond. This definitely can't be forgiven.

The game is continued by Judai's turn. Drawing a card, he gets Polymerization. Judai looks at his card and thanks it for creating a bond for him. He then opens his face-down trap card [Future Vision - Trap: {When an E-Hero Neos is on your side of the field, send a Fusion in your hand to the Cemetery to activate this card. You can select 1 Fusion Monster using E-Hero Neos as a Fusion Material from your Fusion Deck and send any number of Fusion Material Monsters listed on that card from your deck to the Cemetery.}].

According to its effect, when E-Hero Neos is on the field, he can select a fusion monster, God Neos, and send Polymerization along with any number of material monsters in his deck into the cemetery. Judai selects to send Polymerization along with 5 Neo Spacian monsters: Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin, Neo Spacian Flare Scarab, Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird, Neo Spacian Grand Mole, and Neo Spacian Glow Moss.

At this moment, Judai returns Neo Spacian Black Panther from Darkness Neosphere's form into its original form. He then declares the ultimate contact fusion, returning E-Hero Neos and Neo Spacian Black Panther on the field, and 5 Neo Spacian monsters previously sent to the cemetery to his deck in order to (contact) fusion summon [E-Hero God Neos - 12/3000/2500: This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above mentioned cards to your deck. (The Magic card, Fusion, is not needed for this.) By selecting a monster with Neo Spacian in its name from your deck and removing it from the game, this card gains the removed card's Monster Effect for this single turn. For each card removed in this way, increase this card's attack power by 500 points] onto the field in attack position.

Future Vision Trap Card	E-Hero God Neos Monster Card

According to the special effect of E-Hero God Neos, its attack points can be increased by 500 points for each Neo Spacian monster in the deck that is removed from play. Judai decides to remove from game 6 Neo Spacian monsters previously returned to his deck: Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin, Neo Spacian Flare Scarab, Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird, Neo Spacian Grand Mole, Neo Spacian Black Panther, and Neo Spacian Glow Moss. Thus, the attack points of E-Hero God Neos become 6000 (3000+500*6).

As Darkness is getting surprised, Judai hasn't done the whole effect of E-Hero God Neos yet. He claims that E-Hero God Neos also consumes the effects of the monsters removed from play by its special effect. One of those monsters is Neo Spacian Flare Scarab. According to the inherited effect of Neo Spacian Flare Scarab, the attack points of E-Hero God Neos can further increase by 400 for each trap/spell card on Darkness' field.

There are 6 spell/trap cards on Darkness' field: 1 is Darkness faced down in the field spell zone and 5 face-down trap cards (Zero, Infinity, Darkness 1, Darkness 2, and Darkness 3). Therefore, the total attack points of E-Hero God Neos become 8400 (6000+400*6). Darkness hardly believes such a tremendous power. Without waiting, Judai declares the attack of E-Hero God Neos towards Darkness Neosphere before there appears the large and last explosion.

The explosion blows Darkness' cloth covering his head. Judai is surprised by seeing the true and whole face of Darkness by the first time. Darkness tells Judai that although he is defeated, his true identity is darkness, which can be called back to this world again.

Judai responds confidently, "Although that may happen, as long as I remain...No...as long as we as a duelist believe in our possibility, your turn will never come".

Judai's strike of E-Hero God Neos reduces Darkness' LP immediately to 0 (4000+4000-8400). The body of Darkness begins to glow while the dark sphere behind him begins to crack. They explode as darkness shatters in the air. The sun returns to shine as the world returns to normal

to be continued...

Judai	Whatever, it's a happy ending...
Sho	Big Brother!
Judai	Sho! Everybody!
Sho	Big Brother~
Judai	Don't say anything! I could persist because everybody believed in me.
Sho	Next, [Farewell, Judai! A Tearful Graduation Ceremony]. To talk about it...Big Brother...have you finished the supplementary lesson of Professor Chronos?
Judai	No! I made a promise to write a 100-page report to him!!!
Sho	Big Brother is the best! Thanks~
