The duel between Judai and Edo bet by the existence of Osiris Red dorm is continued. Because Aqua Neos returns to Judai's deck, his field is all wiped out. This is the chance for Edo to attack him directly by D-Hero Diehard Guy, Diamond Guy, and Devil Guy. Judai's LP reduces quickly to 200. At this point, Edo has 2300 LP left. Judai feels relieved that he survived from the three direct attacks. He hadn't known before that Aqua Neos couldn't stay more than one turn. Edo is certain that the victory of this duel has already been determined. He thinks that Judai still doesn't understand the burden of the destiny of the real Hero after all.

It's now Judai's turn. He draws a card, gets E-Hero Bubbleman, and special summons it onto the field in an attack position [E-Hero Bubbleman - 4/800/1200: If this card is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it in attack mode. When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, Special Summoned, or Reverse Summoned when it is the only card on your Field, draw 2 cards from your deck]. This is the special summon according to its special effect: special summon when it's the only card on Judai's hand. Also, when it's the only card on the field, Judai can draw additional two cards. One of them is Pot of Greed, so he plays it to draw additional two cards. Judai then attaches E-Hero Bubbleman with [Bubble Shot - Equipment Magic: This card can only be equipped to a Elemental Hero Bubbleman on the Field. Increase the Equipped Monster's attack strength by 800. Destroy this card in order to prevent the equipped Monster from being destroyed, and taking any damage]. Thus, E-Hero Bubbleman's attack points increase to 1600 (800+800).

N-Air Hummingbird Monster Card

After that, Judai normal summons the new Hero [N-Air Hummingbird - 3/800/600: Increase the controller of this Monster's Life Points by 500 for each card in your opponent's hand. This effect can only be used once during a turn. ] in an attack position. Judai thinks that Air Hummingbird is so cool while Air Hummingbird tells him to fight together for all. Then, Judai activates its special. Three cards on Edo's hand become three flowers as Air Hummingbird flies into them. Judai explains that by Air Hummingbird's special effect, he can gain 500 LP for each card on Edo's hand. Thus, his LP increases to 1700 (200 + 500*3). Edo looks very amazed by the monster with LP recovery ability. After that, he lets E-Hero Bubbleman attack D-Hero Diehard Guy. When D-Hero Diehard Guy is destroyed, Edo's LP decreases to 1500 (2300+800-1600). Judai declares the remaining attack of Air Hummingbird against D-Hero Devil Guy later. Thus, Edo's LP further decreases to 1300 (1500+600-800). Setting up a face-down card, Judai ends his turn. People hardly believes the way that Judai played to change his position. They seem very amazed by the unknown power of Neo Spacian Hero.

Turn comes to Edo, and he draws. Edo still doesn't accept the existence of any other Hero rather than his D-Hero. He then plays the new field magic [Dark City - Field Magic: Increase the attack strength of all Monsters on the Field with D-HERO in their name by 1000 points when battling a Monster with higher attack strength]. When the new field magic is played, the current The Mausoleum of the Deceased Emperor field magic disappears. Edo explains its effect that can increase the attack points of his D-Hero monster by 1000 when it attacks a monster with higher attack points. Judai realizes that this is similar to his field magic, Skycraper, but it's played only for D-Hero.

D-Hero Double Guy Monster Card

After that, Edo sacrifices D-Hero Diamond Guy on the field to summon [D-Hero Double Guy - 6/1000/1000: This card cannot be Special Summoned. This Monster can attack two times in the same Battle Phase. When this Monster is destroyed, during your next Standby Phase, Special Summon 2 Double Guy Tokens (Dark/ Warrior/4/1000/1000) to your Field in attack mode] in an attack mode. He declares the attack of D-Hero Double Guy against E-Hero Bubbleman (1600 atk) quickly. Since E-Hero Bubbleman currently has higher attack points, D-Hero Double Guy's attack points go up to 2000 (1000+1000) following the effect of Dark City. Once it attacks E-Hero Bubbleman, Judai activates the ability of Bubble Shot. It can be destroyed to protect E-Hero Bubbleman from being destroyed and Judai from taking any damages. At this moment, Edo activates the special effect D-Hero Double Guy that it can do the second attack in the same battle phase. Thus, D-Hero Double Guy turns to destroy Air Hummingbird, and Judai's LP reduces to 1500 (1700+800-1000). Setting up a face-down card, Edo ends his turn.

Note: The attack points of D-Hero Double Guy turns back to its original 1000 points when it attacks Air Hummingbird because its original points (1000) are higher than Air Hummingbird's (800). Thus, it doesn't satisfy the requirement of Dark City to gain 1000 attack points in the second attack.

Soul Share - Common Soul Magic Card

Turn comes to Judai. He draws a card and plays it [Graceful Charity ~ Tenshi No Hodokoshi - Magic: Draw 3 cards from your Deck, then discard any 2 cards in your hand to the Graveyard]. By its effect, he draws two additional cards discard two cards, Soul N-Flare Scarab and Soul Share - Common Soul, into his graveyard. After that, he opens his face-down trap card [Fallen Angel's Gift ~ Datenshi No Hodokoshi - Trap: Both player's can return cards discarded to the Cemetery by a Magic effect in this turn, into their hands]. According to its effect, both sides can take back their discarded cards by the magic effect in this turn. Thus, Judai can get back N-Flare Scarab and Soul Share - Common Soul onto his hand. He then plays the permanent magic card [Soul Share Common Soul ~ Tamashii No Kyouyuu Common Soul - Permanent Magic: If there is 1 other Monster on the Field, Special Summon 1 Monster with Neo Spacian in your hand to the controller of that other Monster. The attack strength of that other Monster is increased if the attack strength of the Monster with Neo Spacian in its name is increased. When this card is removed from the Field, return the Neo Spacian named Monster to your hand]. By its effect, Judai can special summon [N-Flare Scarab - 3/500/?: Increase this Monster's attack strength by 400 for each Magic or Trap card on your opponent's Field] onto an attack position.

Edo looks amazed by the new Hero monster of Judai as Judai introduces his new friend, Flare Scarab. He tries to convice the existence of the new Heros. Edo is certainly annoyed by that Judai looks happy to flaunt about his heros. He can't accept any hero that doesn't hold the destiny. Judai looks at Edo and says "Absolutely, I feel so sorry about your father. But seeing the new heros is exciting. You also got it, didn't you Edo?". Edo seems to clam down and thinks of what Judai said about seeing the new heros. Judai further explains that Edo's father certainly didn't create D-Hero for him to feel painful but to be happy and enjoy it. Edo reminds himself of his childhood experience with his dad. It's true that his dad created Hero for him to enjoy. It's all for his happiness. However, Edo's face is getting sad when he thinks that he feels painful every time he looks at his D-Hero. It's completely different from what his dad hoped.

Vice Principal Napolean can't stand, getting up to wake Edo up. He tells Edo not to hesitate and listen to what Judai said. Judai argues and tells Vice Principal Napolean to shut up. He didn't intend to confuse Edo, but it's the truth. Vice Principal Napolean then yells at Edo to scatter Judai by his D-Hero holding the destiny. Hearing the words related to the destiny on his shoulders, Edo thinks whether he designates his D-Hero as the prisoners of the destiny.

Meanwhile, Judai interrupt Edo's thought by declaring the special effect of N-Flare Scarab, Flaming Illusion. Due to this effect, its' attack points can increase by 400 points for each magic or trap card in Edo's field. There are a magic and trap card on Edo's field, one is the field magic Dark City and another one is his face-down trap card. As a result, the attack points of Flare Scarab go up to 1300 (500+400*2). Furthermore, by the effect of Soul Share - Common Soul, the attack points of the special summoned monster, N-Flare Scarab, can be added into another monster, E-Hero Bubbleman, on Judai's field. Therefore, the total attack points of E-Hero Bubbleman become 2100 (800+1300). Judai then declares the attack of E-Hero Bubbleman against D-Hero Double Guy. When D-Hero Double Guy is destroyed, Edo's LP significantly decreases to 200 (1300+1000-2100).

D-Hero Defendguy Monster Card

At this moment, Edo opens his reversed trap card [Destiny Signal - Trap: You can only activate this card when a Monster is destroyed as a result of battle. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or less Monster with D-HERO in its name from your hand or deck]. By its effect, after his monster is destroyed, Edo can special summon a D-Hero monster from his deck onto the field. Thus, he selects to summon [D-Hero Defendguy - 4/100/2700: If this card is on the Field in defense mode, your opponent draws 1 card from their deck during their turns] on a defense position. Judai looks very impressed by the greatly defending monster with 2700 defense points. Anyway, Edo explains its effect that if D-Hero Defendguy is in the defense position in Judai's turn, Judai is allowed to draw one card. Here seems to be the end of Judai's turn.

Now, it's Edo's turn. He draws a card and activates the special effect of D-Hero Double Guy. When it's destroyed, Edo can special summon two Double Guy tokens with 1000 points for each onto the field in an attack position during his standby phase. Then, he plays the magic card [Mystical Space Typhoon ~ Cyclone - Instant Magic: Destroy a trap or magic card on the field] from his hand to destroy Judai's permanent magic card, Soul Share - Common Soul. Without this card, Flare Scarab special summoned by it is returned to his hand, and the attack points of E-Hero Bubbleman decrease to its original 800 points. Edo declares the attack of Double Guy token against E-Hero Bubbleman at once. When E-Hero Bubbleman is destroyed, Judai's LP reduces to 1300 (1500+800-1000). Continuously, Edo declares the second attack of another Double Guy token against Judai directly. Getting direct strike, Judai's LP decreases to 300 (1300-1000).

After Judai gets the direct hit, Edo ends his turn. Edo now has 200 LP left while Judai has 300 LP left. Sho is getting more worried about Judai as Kenzan thinks that Edo is really pretty strong. Vice Principal Napolean thinks that Edo is doing well while Temp Principal Chronos seems to cheer Judai. It's now Judai's turn. After he draws a card, he draws another card according to the effect of D-Hero Defendguy. Then, he activates the magic card [The Shallow Grave ~ Asasugita Hakaana  - Magic: Each players takes one Monster Card from his or her respective Graveyard and Special Summons it to the Field in face-up Defense Mode]. By its effect, both Judai and Edo can special summon a monster from their graveyards onto the field in a defense position. Judai selects [Hero Kids - 2/300/600: If this Monster is Special Summoned, you can Special Summon Monsters from your deck with the same name to the Field] and activates its special effect to summon another two Hero Kids from his deck. Edo thinks that Judai is still stupid to give him this chance, asking whether Judai's already forgotten about his great D-Hero monster sleeping in the cemetery. Edo certainly selects to resummon D-Hero Dread Guy from his graveyard. According to the special effect of D-Hero Dread Guy, Edo can send all non-D-Hero monsters, two Doubly Guy tokens, into the cemetery to special resummon two D-Hero monsters, D-Hero Diamond Guy and D-Hero Diahard Guy, from the graveyard into a defense position. Furthermore, due to the special effect of D-Hero Dread Guy, its attack and defense points increase by the total combined attack points of all other D-Hero monsters on the field. Thus, they become 2300 (1400+800+100: Diamond Guy, Diehard Guy, and Defendguy).

Judai hasn't finished his turn yet. At this moment, he again normal summons N-Flare Scarab onto the field in an attack position. According to its effect, its attack points can go up by 400 points for each magic or trap card on Edo's field. Because only Dark City of Edo remains face-up on the field, N-Flare Scarab's attack points increase to 900 (500+400). Judai then declares its attack against defending D-Hero Diehard Guy. When Diehard Guy is destroyed, the defense points of D-Hero Dread Guy decreases to 1500 (1400+100). Setting up two face-down cards, Judai ends his turn.

D-Hero Dogmaguy Monster Card

Turn comes to Edo. He draws a card and plays Pot of Greed to draw additional two cards. Then, he sacrifices D-Hero Diamond Guy, Defendguy, and Diehard Guy to summon [D-Hero Dogmaguy - 8/3400/2400: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except for sacrificing 1 monster on your side of the field that includes D-HERO in their names and 2 other monsters. When this card is Special Summoned, decrease your opponent's Life Points by half during their next Standby Phase]. People look very amazed by the great monster with 3400 attack points. If it attacks, Judai will be surely finished.

Kids Guard Trap Card

Edo declares the attack of D-Hero Dogmaguy against N-Flare Scarab quickly in his battle phase. At the same time, Judai opens his reversed trap [Kids Guard - Trap: Sacrifice 1 Hero Kids on your Field in order to negate an opponent's attack, place 1 card with E-HERO in its name from your deck into your hand]. It allows him to sacrifice one of three Hero Kids to negate the attack of D-Hero Dogmaguy. After Hero Kids is gone, N-Flare Scarab says that it won't make this sacrifice worthless. It tells Judai that now it's time to borrow the power of Neos. Judai shakes his head before looking to his deck. With the another effect of Kids Guard, he can place a Hero monster, E-Hero Neos, from his deck into his hand. Edo sets up a card before ending this turn. Due to another trap or magic card that Edo set up, it increases the attack points of N-Flare Scarab to 1300 (900+400).

Neo Space Magic Card

It's now Judai's turn. Once he draws a card in his standby phase, Edo activates the special effect of D-Hero Dogmaguy. It can reduct Judai's LP by half, so his LP decreases to 150 (300/2). People think that Judai now has 150 LP as Edo has 200 LP left. Each side can be finished by a single strike. Temp Principal Chronos looks very nervous and can't guess who will win. Judai tells Edo that he now really has a lot of fun by the battle of many Heros. Anyway, there is still a new Hero in his deck. Edo surely becomes more surprised. Judai then activates the field magic [Neo Space - Field Magic: Increase the attack strength of all Monsters with E-HERO Neos on the Field by 500. Increase the attack strength of any E-HERO Special Summoned by fusing together E HERO Neos with a Neo Spacian by 500. As long as this card is on the Field, any E-HERO Special Summoned by fusing together a E HERO Neos with a Neo Spacian do not return to the deck at the End Phase of a turn]. Once it's set up, Dark City of Edo is destroyed while the whole battlefield changes into space theme.

E-Hero Flare Neos Monster Card

After that, Judai sacrifices two remaining Hero Kids to normal summon [E-Hero Neos - 7/2500/2000]. By its effect of Neo Space, the attack points of E-Hero Neos go up to 3000 (2500+500). Edo argues that his D-Hero Dogmaguy still has higher attack points (3400). Judai counters his words by saying that he is gonna show the possibility of his Neos. He then declares [Contact Fusion ~ Contact Yuugou] between E-Hero Neos and N-Flare Scarab. Edo looks very surprised by the new fusion term. Judai explains that the fusion of these two monsters doesn't require Polymerization. They fuse together in the sky and create such bright light. Seeing this light, Edo feels familiar that he has seen it before when he was a child. The gorgeous draw of his father was very bright and made his heart beating strongly like this. It's the excitement of seeing a new Hero. Judai introduces Edo his new contact fusioned monster [E-Hero Flare Neos - 7/2500/2000: Return the above cards on your Field into your deck in order to Special Summon this Monster without the use of a Fusion Magic card. This card's attack strength is increased by 400 for each Magic or Trap card on the Field. This Monster is returned back to the Fusion Deck during the End Phase].

According to the special effect of E-Hero Flare Neos, its total attack points can go up by 400 for each magic or trap card on both sides. There are 3 trap or magic cards on the fields in total: two unknown face-down cards of Judai and Edo, and one face-up field magic Neo Space. As a result this effect and the effect of Neo Space, the attack points of E-Hero Flare Neos increase to 4200 (2500+ 3*400 + 500). As Edo looks amazed, Judai declares its attack against D-Hero Dogmaguy quickly. Meanwhile, Edo opens his reversed trap card [D-Shield - Trap: This card activates when your opponent attacks a D-HERO on your side of the Field. Switch that Monster to defense mode and equip this card to it. The equipped Monster cannot be destroyed as a result of battle]. This changes D-Hero Dogmaguy into a defense position and protects it to being destroyed. Judai feels very impressed by Edo's play as accepting his real strength. Edo seems glad to receive it.

Heavy Storm Blade Magic Card

Turn moves to Edo. Drawing a card, he looks on Judai's field and has just understood. That E-Hero Flare Neos didn't disappear as did Aqua Neos may be because of Neo Space. Judai confirms by saying that Neo Space keeps all E-Hero monsters contact fusing with any Neo Spacian on the field. Edo accepts that Neos may be such a wonderful hero. However, he is sure that he won't be defeated in this game. Looking at his card, Edo changes the position of D-Hero Dogmaguy into an attack position. He then plays a magic card [Heavy Storm Blade - Equipment Magic: When the Monster equipped with this card attacks, destroy all Magic and Trap cards on the Field besides this card], equipping it with D-Hero Dogmaguy. Due to the special effect of E-Hero Flare Neos, because there is another magic card played by Edo, the attack points of E-Hero Flare Neos further go up to 4600 (4200+400). Edo challenges Judai to his final conclusion attack, declaring the attack of D-Hero Dogmaguy against Judai. People wonder why Edo declares the attack despite the fact that his monster has fewer attack points.

Calling Magic Magic Card

At this moment, Edo activates the special effect of Heavy Storm Blade. It can destroy all magic and trap cards on the field except for itself. That means face-up trap D-Shield on Edo field, face-down magic card of Judai, Calling Magic, and field magic Neo Space are all wiped out. At this points, the attack points of E-Hero Flare Neos reduce to 2900 (2500+400: only Heavy Storm Blade remains). Edo is certain that Judai will disappear in this strike. D-Hero Dogmaguy attacks E-Hero Flare Neos, but it's blocked and it's equipped Heavy Storm Blade is broken. Edo is getting very surprised. Judai feels sorry to Edo and explains that the attack points of E-Hero Flare Neos are actually 3700. This is as a result of Judai's face-down magic, Calling Magic, sent into the graveyard by the effect of Heavy Storm Blade [Calling Magic - Magic: When this card is destroyed by a Magic or Trap card effect, you can set 2 Magic cards from your deck to your Field]. When it's destroyed by Edo's magic card, Judai can set up two magic cards on his field. Therefore, there are 3 magic cards on both fields in total not only Heavy Storm Blade of Edo. This results in the final attacks of 3700 (2500+3*400) for E-Hero Flare Neos.

Edo looks very shocked and has just realized that this is what has gone beyond Saiou's prediction. It's the power of Neos. Meanwhile, Saiou is openning a tarot card and getting a reversed position of [Wheel of Fortune], which refers to an unexpected bad event or defeat. Because E-Hero Flare Neos has higher attack points, D-Hero Dogmaguy is destroyed. Edo's LP turns to 0 (200+3400-3700), and he's finally defeated. Judai enjoys his duel and declares his favorite words "What a nice duel!". Sho and Kenzan are so glad by his victory that they forget that they are holding each other. Misawa praises Judai and Edo for their splendid duel while Asuka feels relieved that Osiris Red dorm would be safe. While Judai is waving his hand to his friend, Edo walks in. He tells Judai that he accepts his today defeat. However, it doesn't mean that D-Hero was defeated, but it's because of his own play. Judai replies that nobody thinks that D-Hero is weak at all. Everybody has a Hero in his own mind, and it's certainly his greatest Hero. Anyway, Judai thinks that their duel results are tie. They have one lose one win, resulting in no count. Edo tells him to make the final conclusion later before leaving. Vice Principal Napolean becomes scared when Edo is looking at him. Since Edo is defeated, Temp Principal Chronos says that the plan to turn down Osiris Red dorm has to be next time. Both of them are interrupted and shocked by the sudden appearance of Edo close to them. Edo forgets to confirm them about his attached position with the school from now on. However, because he is pretty busy with Pro League, so he may not come frequently. Then, he leaves while both Vice Principal Napolean and Temp Principal Chronos are still amazed.

When Edo comes outside Duel Academia, he tries to contact Saiou. However, Saiou is away, and he isn't in the White Hall room. His phone number currently isn't in use. Edo wonders whether Saiou has already gone from him. He has something that he needs to ask Saiou especially Association of Light that Manjyome previously talked to him about. He also wants to know what Saiou is thinking. Anyway, Edo believes that if he stays at this school, he will certainly meet Saiou again. That's because there is the person, Saiou's target, who can get over his prediction staying here. That's person is nobody else but Yuki Judai with his new Neos deck.
