Atticus confronts Yusuke in the Abandoned Dorm . Fujiwara asks Atticus what he ' s done to Fujiwara , as if Fujiwara is separate person . Atticus denies knowing , and Fujiwara ' s eyes glow red . Before he can harm Atticus , Axel arrives and throws a gas grenade , allowing him to get Atticus to safety . Atticus is rendered unconscious , and ends up in the infirmary . Here , Axel meets up with Alexis and Jaden , revealing to them that he was hired by Maximillion Pegasus of Industrial Illusions to investigate the cards that do not function properly with Duel Disk s anymore . He states that he believes it ' s the island itself causing the phenomenon , and that Yusuke Fujiwara is the key to the incident . Axel reveals that after Kagemaru was stopped by Jaden , he released all the scholarship students that had been used in the experiment for testing purposes . The only one who didn ' t return was Yusuke Fujiwara . Prior to his disappearance , Fujiwara was in the same year as Atticus and Zane , and the three were regarded as the best Duelist s and students at Duel Academy . There were also rumors that Fujiwara had his own independent project , and Jaden realizes it must have been research into Nightshroud . Knowing that Atticus himself was once possessed by Nightshroud ' s dark powers , Jaden attempts to wake him up and question him . Alexis tells him to stop , but Jaden is insistent and continues to ask Atticus . This earns him a slap from Alexis . She states that Hassleberry was right - Jaden truly has changed . Jaden responds that there are times where you cannot turn back - even if you want to . Jaden then leaves the infirmary . A bit later , Alexis is shown inserting flowers into a glass vase and remembering what Jaden told her earlier . She then takes the vase of flowers to the infirmary and questions herself what has happened to make Jaden act so different . When Alexis enters the infirmary , she is shocked to find Atticus missing . At the Slifer Red dorm , Jaden interrogates the spirit of Professor Banner , trapping the spirit in a drawstring pouch and threatening to flush him down the toilet . As Banner was involved in Kagemaru ' s plans , he wants to know any information Banner has . Banner claims that Atticus already had Nightshroud ' s powers - they did not give them to him . Outside , Atticus is slumped on the stairs , having left the infirmary without informing anyone . He tells Jaden to take him to the Abandoned Dorm . Upon arriving , Atticus says he can ' t remember what transpired in this building . Alexis , Hassleberry , Syrus and Chazz track them there and question what Jaden is doing . Jaden claims a new threat will arrive soon , and that Atticus holds the answers to it - though he does not remember them . Atticus tells Jaden to Duel him , hoping that using Nightshroud ' s signature card in this specific area will trigger the memories . Atticus takes out the Nightshroud card , and the dark aura seeps from it , transforming into the mask . Atticus claims that one of two things will happen - he will recover his memories during the Duel , or Nightshroud will again possess him , as he did during his Duel with Zane . Atticus gains an early lead with " Inferno Fire Blast " . After Jaden ' s successful counterattack , some of his memories begin to return . He recalls standing in the Abandoned Dorm , and Fujiwara , not himself wearing the Nightshroud mask , claiming to have found " the ultimate power " . Atticus fights to maintain control of his body and not succumb to Nightshroud once more . Atticus Summons " Red - Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon " . When Jaden activates " Contact Soul " , Atticus accurately surmises Jaden ' s strategy - he aimed to use " Contact Soul " to Summon " Neo - Spacian Grand Mole " , allowing him to return " Red - Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon " to his hand and attack directly with " Elemental Hero Neos " . The effect of " Red - Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon " then negate s " Contact Soul " and destroys it . However , Jaden ' s backup strategy prevails and he wins the Duel . The mask of Nightshroud then turns back into the Nightshroud card while the darkness that was affecting Atticus dissipates away from his body . Alexis , Chazz , Syrus , and Hassleberry rush over to Atticus and check to make sure he is okay . Jaden approaches the group , but Alexis screams at him to not come any closer as she thinks Jaden was responsible for putting her brother through all this . Atticus however reveals that he willingly wanted to do this , much to his sister ' s shock . Through the Duel , Atticus remembers everything . He reveals that Yusuke Fujiwara had had far greater talent at Dueling than himself , or even Zane . However , his passion for Dueling led him abnormal research . Discovering the powers of the " World of Darkness " , Fujiwara was willing to sacrifice his own soul , as long as it meant gaining power , as it would also mean gaining eternal life . His hand bleeding , he allows the blood to drip onto an stone circle on the ground . The dark powers activate , and Fujiwara and Atticus are both pulled into a floating abyss . Fujiwara apologizes for involving Atticus , and gives him the Nightshroud mask he had been wearing , stating he no longer needs it . Atticus never donned the mask himself until he pulled into another dimension as part of Professor Banner ' s test . He used the powers to survive in that world , alluding to his defeat of Gravekeeper ' s Chief and obtaining his half of the Shadow Charm pendant . Atticus states Fujiwara was consumed by Nightshroud ' s power and died . A voice says that is not true . Fujiwara himself appears . Jaden claims he is a fake , while Fujiwara states that Atticus " abandoned his master " . Jaden holds up " Honest " and urges him to reveal his true identity as the Fujiwara ' s former Spirit Partner . Featured Duel : Jaden Yuki vs . Atticus Rhodes .
