Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX - Episode 040 " A Lying Legend " , also known as " H - E - R - O Flash ! " in the Japanese version , is the fortieth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " anime . Summary . Far away , in a dark tomb , a masked Egyptian pharaoh was brought back to life with the power of a Shadow Charm . As he awoke , he asked for his chariot , for he had to fulfill his duties to the shadows as his boss tells him to do . Back at Duel Academy , Professor Banner taught a lesson about Duel Monster champions that existed in Ancient Egypt , like Abidos the Third . He was a Pharaoh that never once lost a Duel . Jaden Yuki thought what it would be like to Duel Abidos now , and he , Chazz Princeton , and Syrus Truesdale got in trouble for talking in the class and gave them detention . Later that night , Alexis Rhodes and Zane met at the lighthouse . Alexis was still worried about Atticus , who still hasn ’ t recovered his memories , but Zane said everything will be alright . All of a sudden , an army of Mummies came out of the ground and attacked them . As Jaden , Chazz , and Syrus walked back to the dorm , they heard Alexis scream and ran to the lighthouse . As soon as they saw them , more mummies attacked Jaden and demanded his Spirit Key , which meant they were sent by the Shadow Riders . They looked up to the sky as a golden flying ship appeared and sucked them inside . The Key Keepers , including Banner , found themselves on the floating ship with what appeared to be a bunch of guards and their leader , Abidos . Banner fainted when he saw that Abidos was brought back to life and Jaden challenged him to Duel for his Spirit Key . Abidos , being the 5th Shadow Rider , accepted and was ready to win . Abidos was complaining that he should win because he was a Pharaoh , but Jaden didn ’ t think he was all that great because he hasn ’ t made some smart moves and his monsters weren ’ t all that great . Abidos finally realized that his servants let him win his Duels because they feared he would punish them for beating him . Jaden decided it was time Abidos learned how to really Duel and this Duel was a good start where Jaden persuades Abidos to remove his mask . Abidos summons " Spirit of the Pharaoh " and pushes Jaden to a corner , but he makes a comeback with " Hero Flash ! ! " . Abidos is upset because he realized his life was a lie , but he is happy that Jaden was able to give him a worthwhile Duel . He states he was hoping Jaden would come back with him to the spirit world and teach him to Duel , but Jaden chooses to stay in the real world . In the Japanese version , Abidos said that he would finally be able to go to heaven and asks Jaden to come along , but Jaden instead asks if he could wait another hundred years , to which Abidos agrees . The group then said goodbye to the friendly Shadow Rider as he passes on . As the Key Keepers walked back , Jaden noticed how he was building a collection of Shadow Charms , after getting Abidos ’ headband . Little did they know , Banner was watching them and he said that soon , Jaden will face his biggest test yet . Featured Duel : Jaden Yuki vs . Abidos the Third . Turn 1 : Abidos Abidos draws .
