Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX - Chapter 014 " The Deck Passed ! ! " , known as " The Inherited Deck ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the fourteenth chapter of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " manga . It was first printed in Japanese in the " V Jump " magazine and in English in the " Shonen Jump " magazine . Both of which were printed in volume 2 of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " graphic novels afterwards . Summary . Jaden Yuki is confident that his defense - piercing " Fairy Meteor Crush " card has enabled him to defeat Koyo Hibiki with " Elemental Hero Thunder Giant " , but " Winged Kuriboh ' s " effect protects him from damage , and Midori Hibiki reminds him that seemingly weak cards can potentially defeat stronger ones with their abilities . Jaden was unaware of " Winged Kuriboh ' s " effect , and Koyo scolds him , saying that Jaden has looked through his Deck quite thoroughly in the past , and despite this , never read " Winged Kuriboh ' s " card text . Midori comments that result would have been the same even if Jaden used " Thunder Giant ' s " effect to destroy " Winged Kuriboh " before attacking . Jaden ends his turn , but believes that he still has the advantage , as he feels it ' s unlikely that Koyo will be able to Summon a monster capable of defeating " Thunder Giant " in one turn . Koyo examines his hand , which contains " A Hero Arrives " , " Nobleman of Extermination " and " Terra Firma Gravity " . He knows that his next draw will not only be his last draw of this duel , but of his last draw as a duelist . He draws , and first activate s " A Hero Arrives " , pay ing half of his Life Points to Special Summon " Elemental Hero Stratos " from his Deck in Attack Position , reducing him to 450 Life Points . Koyo tells Jaden that this will be the last turn of the duel , and that he ' s glad that Jaden was his final opponent . Jaden is confused , but Koyo activates " Parallel World Fusion " , returning the " Elemental Hero Woodsman " and " Elemental Hero Ocean " that he removed from play to his Deck and Fusion Summon ing " Elemental Hero Terra Firma " . Jaden is excited to see " Terra Firma " , but says that the attack won ' t defeat him even it destroys " Thunder Giant " . Koyo activates " Terra Firma ' s " effect , Tributing " Stratos " to increase " Terra Firma ' s " attack points by " Stratos ' " , giving it a total of 4300 . He attacks , destroying " Thunder Giant " and defeating Jaden . Though he loses , Jaden says he enjoyed the duel , and that he wishes to become a duelist like Koyo when he grows up . Koyo responds that he had fun as well , and hands Jaden his Deck , saying that he ' s entrusting it to him from this day forward . Jaden doesn ' t want to accept it , but Koyo says he ' s retiring . He apologizes to " Winged Kuriboh " , but urges it to have fun dueling alongside Jaden from now on . Koyo urges Jaden to become a duelist that enjoys dueling no matter what , and gifts him with his red jacket as well . Later , back at his hospital room , Midori asks him if he has any regrets , Koyo responds that he has plenty , but he ' s made his decision . One of his regrets is that he never got to defeat Midori in a duel , as she always won even after Koyo went pro . Midori leaves , and Koyo attempts to sleep . He again has memories of the black - shadowed duelist him that each time he draws a card in a serious duel , the " Deck of his life " will be depleted as well . All of Koyo ' s strength left him as his duel with Jaden concluded . He mentally urges Jaden to have more fun duels , before falling into a coma . Featured Duel .
