Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX - Episode 098 " Ultimate Destiny " , known as " Finally Activated ! The Ultimate D - Card " in the Japanese version , is the ninety - eighth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " anime . Aster Phoenix discovers the awful truth about the murder of his father and the theft of the " Ultimate Destiny " card : the culprit behind both incidents is his current guardian , The D ( who is another vessel possessed by The Light of Destruction ) . Summary . Aster Phoenix confronts his guardian , The D and asks if he won his duel with Doctor Collector . The D responds that of course , he did . When asked he called Aster here , The D reveals his sinister past . After seeing a new card design made by Aster ' s father , he sneaked into his apartment that night and attempted to steal the card . However , the card had been tainted by The Light of Destruction , and The D kidnaps ( kills in the Japanese version ) Aster ' s father . He used " Destiny Hero - Plasma " to become the champion of the Pro League and hold his title for ten years . Though he couldn ' t use the card in official matches , the powers of The Light of Destruction aided his victories in other ways . In underground duels , he steals the souls of countless duelists using the card . With his past revealed , Aster wishes to avenge his father , and he begins his duel with The D . Aster summons " Destiny Hero - Dogma " on his first turn , but The D counters with " Destiny Hero - Plasma " and " D - Force " , which forms a nearly unstoppable combo that renders " Plasma " virtually untouchable . Aster eventually uses " Destiny Hero - Dark Angel " to seal the effect of " D - Force " , after realizing that his father must have created it specifically to counter " Destiny Hero - Plasma " . When Aster is about to destroy " Plasma " , The D reveals that the soul of Aster ' s father is trapped within the card . Aster ' s father speaks to him , and says he apologizes for creating such a powerful card . When he began to create it , he heard the voice of The Light of Destruction , and was unable to stop himself from finishing . He stated it was similar to what happened when Maximillion Pegasus created the Egyptian God cards . He states that the The Light of Destruction that possesses the The D is merely a husk ; the real Light of Destruction exists inside of Sartorius . He urges Aster to attack and destroy " Plasma " . Aster attacks and his father says good - bye to him before the destruction of " Plasma " , which leaves Aster overwhelmed with sadness and guilt . As The D drops his cards , The Light of Destruction escapes from " Plasma " and explodes , setting the ship ablaze . The card flies towards Aster and he quickly takes it . He sadly looks at the card and says goodbye to his dad since he will never see him again . The D regaining consciousness , yells at Aster that he is the chosen one ( in the dub he swears that he will have his revenge ) , but Aster knowing what he must do does not care what The D says at all . Aster rushes out to the Deck and is saved via helicopter by Chancellor Sheppard . Featured Duel : Aster Phoenix vs . The D . Turn 1 : Aster Aster draws " Destiny Draw " and subsequently activates it to discard " Destiny Hero - Malicious " and draw two cards ( one of which is " D - Spirit " ) . Aster then activates " D - Spirit " to Special Summon " Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude " ( 1400 / 1600 ) in Attack Position since he controls no " Destiny Hero " monsters . Aster then activates the effect of " Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude " to reveal the top card of his Deck . If that card is a Normal Spell Card , it will be sent to the Graveyard , and Aster can activate its effect on his next turn ' s Main Phase . Aster reveals " Pot of Greed " , so it is sent to the Graveyard . Aster then activates " Over Destiny " to target the " Destiny Hero - Malicious " in his Graveyard and Special Summon " Captain Tenacious " ( 800 / 800 ) in Attack Position ( as the Level of " Captain Tenacious " is at most 3 , which is half the Level of " Destiny HERO - Malicious " ) . Aster then removes from play " Destiny Hero - Malicious " from his Graveyard via its own effect in order to Special Summon another " Malicious " ( 800 / 800 ) from his Deck in Attack Position . Aster then Tributes his three Destiny Heroes in order to Special Summon " Destiny Hero - Dogma " ( 3400 / 2400 ) in Attack Position . Aster then Set s a card . He then activates " Clock Tower Prison " . Now , during each of the D ' s Standby Phase s , " Clock Tower Prison " will gain a Clock Counter . If four or more Clock Counter s are on " Clock Tower Prison " , all Battle Damage to Aster will be reduced to 0 . If " Clock Tower Prison " is destroyed while it has at least four Clock Counters on it , Aster can Special Summon " Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster " from his hand or Deck . Turn 2 : The D The D draws . On the D ' s Standby Phase , the effect of " Dogma " activates , halving the D ' s Life Points ( The D 4000 → 2000 ) . At the same time , " Clock Tower Prison " gains a Clock Counter . The D then activates " Claret Note " to add up the total number of Levels of each monster Aster controls in order to Special Summon one " Plasma Token " for each four Levels determined by this effect . Since " Destiny Hero - Dogma " is a Level 8 monster , " Claret Note " Special Summon s two " Plasma Tokens " ( 0 / 0 each ) in Attack Position . The D then activates " Fiend ' s Sanctuary " to Special Summon a " Metal Fiend Token " ( 0 / 0 ) in Attack Position . The D then Tributes his three tokens in order to Special Summon " Destiny Hero - Plasma " ( 1900 / 600 ) in Attack Position . The D then activates the effect of " Plasma " to equip itself with Aster ' s " Destiny HERO - Dogma " , increase its ATK by half the ATK of " Dogma " , and gain any effects that " Dogma " has ( " Plasma " : 1900 → 3600 ) . " Plasma " attacks directly ( Aster 4000 → 400 ) . The D then activates " D - Force " and places it face - up on top of his Deck . While " D - Force " is the top card of the D ' s Deck , the D cannot conduct his normal draw during his Draw Phase , but in exchange , " Destiny Hero - Plasma " cannot be affected by the effects of Aster ' s Spells and Traps and the effects of Aster ' s face - up monsters are negated . The D then Set s a card . Turn 3 : Aster Aster draws . On Aster ' s Standby Phase , the effect " Plasma " gained from " Dogma " activates ( Aster 400 → 200 ) . Through the effect of " Diamond Dude " , Aster activates the effect of " Pot of Greed " from his Graveyard to draw two cards ( one of which is " Destiny Hero - Doom Lord " ) . Aster then Normal Summons " Destiny Hero - Doom Lord " ( 600 / 800 ) in Defense Position . He then activates the effect of " Doom Lord " to remove " Plasma " from play for two turns , but it doesn ' t work as " Plasma " negates the effects of Aster ' s face - up Effect Monster s while " D - Force " is the D ' s top card . Turn 4 : The D Due to " D - Force " , the D skips his Draw Phase . The D then activates his face - down " D - Boost " to draw two cards under his face - up " D - Force " . On the D ' s Standby Phase , " Clock Tower Prison " gains a second Clock Counter . The D then activates " Drain Time " and declares " Standby Phase " for its effect . Now Aster and the D must skip the declared Phase on their next turn . " Destiny Hero - Plasma " attacks " Doom Lord " , but Aster activates his face - down " D - Counter " to destroy " Plasma " , however it doesn ' t work as " Plasma " is unaffected by Aster ' s Spells and Traps while " D - Force " is the D ' s top card . " Plasma " destroys " Doom Lord " . The D then Set s a card . Turn 5 : Aster Aster draws . Due to " Drain Time " , Aster ' s Standby Phase is skipped . Aster then Set s two cards . Turn 6 : The D Due to " D - Force " , the D skips his Draw Phase . Due to " Drain Time " , The D skips his Standby Phase . " Destiny Hero - Plasma " attacks directly . The D then activates his face - down " Dust Tornado " to destroy Aster ' s " Clock Tower Prison " , but Aster chain s his face - down " Eternal Dread " and his face - down " Greed Pact " to the activation of " Dust Tornado " . The effects of the three activated cards resolve in reverse order . " Greed Pact " resolves first and lets Aster and The D both draw a card . This makes the D draw " D - Force " . " Eternal Dread " resolves next and adds two Clock Counters to " Clock Tower Prison " , giving it a total of four Clock Counters . " Dust Tornado " resolves last and destroys " Clock Tower Prison " , which enables Aster to Special Summon " Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster " ( ? / ? ) in Defense Position . Aster then activates the first effect of " Dreadmaster " to revive " Diamond Dude " ( 1400 / 1600 ) and " Captain Tenacious " ( 800 / 800 ) in Defense Position . Due to the last effect of " Dreadmaster " , its original ATK and DEF are equal to the total ATK of all other " Destiny Hero " monsters that Aster controls ( " Dreadmaster " : ? → 2200 / ? → 2200 ) . The D then re - activates " D - Force " and places it face - up on the top of his Deck . The D then activates " Unfair Judge " to pay 800 Life Points ( The D 2000 → 1200 ) and select " Plasma " in order to conduct another Battle Phase this turn and allow " Plasma " to attack every monster Aster controls once each . " Plasma " attacks and destroys all three of Aster ' s monsters . Turn 7 : Aster Aster draws " Destiny Hero - Dark Angel " . On Aster ' s Standby Phase , the effect " Plasma " gained from " Dogma " activates ( Aster 200 → 100 ) . Aster then discards " Destiny Hero - Dark Angel " from his hand via its own effect in order to place it on the top of the D ' s Deck . Aster then activates " Dark City " . Now when a Destiny Hero attacks a monster that has more ATK than it , the attacking monster will gain 1000 ATK during damage calculation only . Aster then Normal Summons " Destiny Hero - Celestial " ( 1600 / 1400 ) in Attack Position . " Celestial " attacks " Plasma " . Aster then activates the effect of " Celestial " , destroying " Dogma " ( " Plasma " : 3600 → 1900 / 600 ) and inflicting 500 damage to the D ( The D 1200 → 700 ) . The effect of " Dark City " activates ( " Celestial " : 1600 → 2600 / 1400 ) . Before " Celestial " is able to strike the final blow , Aster suddenly sees that " Destiny Hero - Plasma " has trapped his father ' s soul within itself , along with the souls of other Duelists that The D has defeated . Aster ' s father informs him that he and The D were under the control of the Light of Destruction when " Plasma " was created . Aster is hesitant to destroy " Plasma " on this note , but his father encourages him to do so , as a larger part of the Light of Destruction is possessing Sartorius , and using him in its attempt to destroy the world . Aster ' s resolve returns with this encouragement and " Destiny Hero - Celestial " continues its attack , destroying " Destiny Hero - Plasma " ( The D 700 → 0 ) . Featured cards .
