He Summons " Elemental Hero Voltic " , equipping it with " Voltic Spear " , which gives it a 1000 point attack boost . He then activates " Hero Solidarity " , removing two " Elemental Heroes " in his Graveyard from play and letting him destroy two Spell or Trap Cards . He chooses two of " Armoroid ' s " equipped monsters , and its attack reduces to 1500 as a result . " Voltic " attacks and destroys " Armoroid " , with the former ' s effect placing all removed from play cards into the Graveyard - including " Transformation " , so Syrus takes damage via its effect , and Jaden wins the duel .

She reveals that the transcripts Crowler took from her office were only provisional versions , and that there was a technicality . Syrus forgot to write his name down , so the computer automatically gave him a zero . He really scored a 91 % .
