Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX - Chapter 041 " The Shadow Game Speeds Up ! ! , known as " The Duel of Darkness Speeds Up ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the forty - first 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 6 of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " graphic novels afterwards . Summary . " Elemental Hero Terra Firma " appears in its " Magma " form . Jaden reveals that since that the ATK of his " Voltic Spear " - equip ped " Elemental Hero Voltic " was 2000 , " Terra Firma " gains ATK equal to that number - so it has 4500 ATK . Jaden declares his attack with Earth Magma Slash . Reggie is surprised that Jaden would Tribute his own monster , ignore her Set cards and attack . She realizes that he ' s so concerned with Midori that he ' s lost sight of himself as a Duelist . She shouts that Jaden ' s attack will not work and activate s her face - down " Heaven ' s Judgment " , which will destroy " Terra Firma " by send ing a monster of an equal Level from Reggie ' s Deck to the Graveyard . She sends " The Splendid Venus " . Jaden curses as " Terra Firma ' disappears in a flash of light followed by an explosion . Reggie thinks that a Duelist who loses himself in rage can be a fragile thing . Jaden is angry with himself , as he ignored her Set card . He also realize that he should have attacked with " Voltic " and " Terra Firma " separately - if he had , at least one of them would have survived the turn . He tries to calm himself and assess his situation . His field is bare . If Reggie Summons a monster with an ATK of 1000 or more , he ' s finished . He checks his hand , which contains " Polymerization " , " Defender Hero " and " Responsibility " . Knowing that the last card of those three can help him survive , he Sets it and ends his turn , knowing that his future rides on that card . Reggie draws , knowing that Jaden has regained his composure due to the pinch he ' s in . She ' s drawn " Valhalla , Hall of the Fallen " , while her hand contains " Saint Aura " and " Angel Bow " . With no monsters in her hand , she can ' t finish Jaden off this turn . She wonders if his Set card is a desperate bluff or a game - breaking card . Either way , she decides she ' ll be attacking . She does so directly with " Iofiel " , wondering what Jaden will do . He responds with his face - down " Responsibility " , which will destroy the attacking monster as he has a Level 5 or higher " Hero " monster in his Graveyard . " Terra Firma " appears in front of him , destroying " Iofiel " with a punch . Jaden says that even in the Graveyard , " Terra Firma " will fulfill the responsibility he has as a hero . Reggie activates her own face - down card - " Advent of the Goddess " . This will let her remove four Fairy - Type monsters in her Graveyard from play when a Fairy attacks . This allows her to Special Summon one Fairy - Type monster from her Graveyard . She removes the two " Sacred Spirit Parmal s " , " Tiny Angel " and " Zeriel " to bring out " The Splendid Venus " in Attack Position . Jaden asks what " Venus " is and Reggie responds that its one of the " Legendary Planet s " , just like Jaden ' s " Terra Firma " . A monster Summoned via " Advent of the Goddess " cannot attack the turn its Summoned , so Reggie Sets a card to end her turn . Jaden thinks that the situation has gotten worse . His draw will decide his own fate as well as Midori ' s . However , he ' ll never give up - he believes in his cards . He draws " Elemental Hero Flash " . If its sent to the Graveyard , he can add a Spell or Trap Card in his Graveyard to his hand . He needs Spell from his Graveyard , and remembers that " Heroes " have infinite possibilities . He Normal Summon s " Flash " in Defense Position and ends his turn . Reggie declares that the effect of " Venus " will reduce the ATK and DEF of " Flash " by 500 each , as it is not a Fairy - Type monster . Reggie believes she ' ll make Jaden ' s despair grow . She draws " Mystical Space Typhoon " , disappointed that she still can ' t seem to draw a monster . She activates her face - down " Saint Aura " , changing " Flash " to Attack Position and halving its ATK . The 2800 ATK " Venus " attacks and destroys the 300 ATK Flash " with Holy Feather Shower , dropping Jaden ' s Life Points from 3000 to 500 . The effect of " Flash " activates , so Jaden adds the " Miracle Fusion " in his Graveyard to his hand . Reggie ends her turn , but believes the Duel may be turning in Jaden ' s favor now - " Miracle Fusion " will let him fuse from the Graveyard . She ' s angry that she didn ' t draw a monster . Had she done so , she would have won . Jaden draws and then Normal Summons " Elemental Hero Stratos " . He then uses " Miracle Fusion " to remove the " Flash " and " Voltic " in his Graveyard from play and Fusion Summon " Elemental Hero The Shining " in Attack Position . Reggie says that even if it has 2600 ATK , its no match for " Venus " , as the effect of the latter card decreases the ATK of " The Shining " by 500 . Jaden reveals that the effect of " The Shining " gives it 300 ATK for each removed from play " Hero " . He has four - " Flash " , " Voltic " , " Woodsman " and " Ocean " . Therefore , the ATK of " The Shining " is 3300 . Jaden attacks , destroying " Venus " and dropping Reggie ' s Life Points to 3500 with Optical Stream . He then attacks directly with " Stratos " , leaving Reggie with 1700 Life Points . Parts of her begin to disappear due to the Shadow Duel . Jaden Sets a card to end his turn , telling Reggie that he ' ll defeat her and save Midori . Reggie asks how Jaden intends to save her , with him responding that Reggie must know . Reggie recalls Midori saying the same of Koyo . She says that all anyone talks about is saving , and tells Jaden she has no idea how to wake Midori up . She asks if that ' s all Jaden wanted to know , and says that they ' ll now reconvene the Shadow Duel . Featured Duel : Jaden Yuki vs . Reggie MacKenzie . " Duel continues from previous chapter .
