Later , as Jim Crocodile Cook , Jesse Anderson , Adrian Gecko and Axel are being introduced to Chancellor Sheppard , Aster is revealed to be participating in a tournament in Korea . Biography . After winning a championship tournament in Korea , Aster traveled via helicopter to the Japanese Duel Academy to participate in the exchange battle between five students from each Academy . Arriving after the two Tag - Team Duel s , he was greeted by Reggie MacKenzie . He notes that she seems to be less prickly then she has been lately and is seeming like her old self again . When he arrives at the location , the students go wild upon recognizing the famous Pro Duelist , save his opponent , Jaden Yuki . They begin the Duel , with Aster learning that Jaden uses " Heroes " himself and realizing what Reggie meant when she said it might be interesting for Aster . Jaden manages to take the early advantage with his " Masked Hero es " , but just when he seems to have defeated Aster , Aster then suddenly turns the tide and defeats Jaden with his " Vision Hero es " . That night , Aster is confronted by Atticus Rhodes , and the history between the two of them is revealed . They had all competed in the Junior League at the same time as Zane Truesdale , Aster had been unable to defeat either of them . Atticus is jealous that Aster seems to be quite close to Reggie , and the two renew their rivalry in a Duel . Even with the help of " The Atmosphere " , Atticus is defeated by " Vision HERO Trinity , " and Aster feels he ' s avenged his losses to Atticus when they were young . However , unbeknownst to Aster , Tragoedia interfered to stop Atticus from activating his face - down card , which would have saved him . Principal MacKenzie later gifts Aster with what he describes as the last remaining Legendary Planet card , later revealed to be " The Grand Jupiter " . He Duels Alexis Rhodes , Atticus ' s younger sister , as part of the one - on - one matchups between the Japanese and American Duel Academies , a coincidence Aster decided was fate . His " Vision Heroes " proved troublesome for Alexis , due to their consistent recovery , and Aster then brought out " The Grand Jupiter , " absorbing Alexis ' s " Blizzard Princess " and attacking directly to win the Duel . Afterwards , he noted that he ' d felt a sensation from " Jupiter , " which , unbeknownst to him , had been its ability to sap energy from the Duelists to fuel Tragoedia ' s resurrection . Zane congratulated him after the Duel , asking if Aster had seen Atticus . Aster replied that he hadn ' t and warned Zane that he would continue to defeat his opponents , including Zane . Receiving a text from Principal MacKenzie to meet him in the wharf warehouse , Aster complied , only to find the unconscious bodies of Atticus , Reggie , Adrian , Axel , James , and Jesse . MacKenzie then approached Aster , revealing his true identity and that his previous host had been Aster ' s father . Furious , Aster angrily challenged MacKenzie , but was defeated by the final and most powerful Planet card , " The Supremacy Sun " . Tragoedia revealed that he had raised Aster for this moment and he reclaimed " Jupiter , " and before Aster passed out he saw MacKenzie as his own father , much to Tragoedia ' s amusement . He was later revived after Jaden and Chazz Princeton defeated Tragoedia for good . Deck . Aster plays a " Vision Hero " Deck . These monsters can be placed in the Spell & Trap Card Zone when Aster takes damage . The " Vision Hero " monsters can be Tribute d to Summon a " Vision Hero " monster from the Spell & Trap Card Zone and then activate an effect unique to the particular " Vision Hero " .
