After collapsing during his Duel with Makoto Inotsume , Zane is in Duel Academy ' s operation theater , receiving heart surgery . Both his brother Syrus and Jaden anxiously await the result . Zane survives , but is again bedridden . He questions why Syrus stopped him , with Syrus responding he doesn ' t want to see his brother die during a Duel . Zane reflects that he has already had the greatest Duel he possibly could - against Yubel in the alternate dimension . He states he gave everything he had in that Duel , but still lost . He claims that his Deck wanted to keep battling , even when he couldn ' t and that the Deck did not care about the limits Zane himself had . Refusing to believe that . Syrus takes the Deck to begin training for his own Duel with Inotsume . When Syrus starts his practice , he draws and gets " Cyberdark Horn " . Syrus summons it and then draws again , but he gets " Photon Generator Unit " . Syrus notes in his mind that the Deck isn ' t responding properly . A shock then runs through Syrus ' body , causing him to fall down on his knees . Syrus realizes everytime he plays or draws a card , a shock will enter his body . As soon as he removes the Deck from his Duel Disk , the pain vanishes . Syrus determines that Zane ' s heart condition did not come from his use of electrodes , but from the Deck itself , which is why the " Cyberdark " series were said to be a " forbidden Deck " of the Cyber Art . In the forest , Inotsume is also training . He has three copies of " Jinzo - Returner " around him , and comments that he has yet to unveil the ultimate monster of the Jinzo Art . Syrus continues his training , and determines that at the rate he ' s going , he ' ll never learn to use the Deck properly . Jaden arrives , and gives Syrus some sandwiches from the card shop . Syrus claims the Deck will never respond to him , because he is not his brother . Jaden agrees , saying the Deck can tell that Syrus is not Zane . Syrus asks for advice , and Jaden responds that he needs to ask the Deck what it wants , and suggests he make the Deck his own . Thinking about this , Syrus opens another sandwich and it ends up being the Golden Eggwich . This give him an idea . On the night of the Duel , Syrus meets Inotsume on the beach , with the latter saying he ' s expecting a lot from Syrus , being the brother of Zane . The Duel begins , and Syrus does quite well , successfully using both " Power Wall " and " Fusion Guard " to avoid taking any damage . He also manages to activate " Rebirth Judgment " , turning all monsters in the Graveyard s into Dragon - Type s , successfully circumventing Inotsume ' s " DNA Erasure Magic " . He uses " Cyberdark Impact ! " to Summon " Cyberdark Dragon " after having sent its components to the Graveyard via " Power Wall " . He equip s it with the " Cyber End Dragon " that was sent to his Graveyard via " Fusion Guard " . However , Inotsume had predicted this and activates " Crush Card Virus " , destroy ing " Cyberdark Dragon " and crippling Syrus ' hand and Deck for three turns . At this point , Jaden arrives , pushing Zane in his wheelchair . Zane comments that Syrus really is using his Deck surprisingly well , with Jaden responding that he is not using Zane ' s Deck . Inotsume Summons the most powerful monster in the Jinzo Style Legacy - " Jinzo - Lord " . It destroys face - up Traps rather than simply negating them , and it can be used to check face - down cards and destroy them if they are Traps , inflicting 300 points of damage . With Syrus ' field bare , Inotsume believes he ' s won , but Syrus uses the effect of the " Kiteroid " in his Graveyard to reduce the damage from the ATK of " Jinzo - Lord " to zero . Zane comments that that card wasn ' t in his Deck . Inotsume activates " Trap Request " , which will allow him to select a Trap from Syrus ' Deck and Set it each turn . It can ' t be activated that turn , and if its removed from the field , Syrus will take 1000 damage . He plans to destroy it via the effect of " Jinzo - Lord " to win the Duel . If that fails , he also has " Nobleman of Extermination " in his hand , which would also remove the card and allow him to win . Syrus draws " Dragonroid " , realizing that he ' s not dueling for Zane , but for the purpose of surpassing him , as he always lagged behind him . He sends " Dragonroid " to the Graveyard due to the Lingering Effect of " Crush Card Virus " . Syrus first activates " Remove Bomb " , removing the top five cards of his Deck from play , including the three " Cyberdark " monsters . He then plays " Spell Economics " and " Dimension Fusion " to Summon them back without any Life Point cost . Syrus then finishes with his signature card , " Power Bond " , forming " Cyberdark Dragon " . Syrus comments he knows what the Deck wants - it wants to evolve and grow just as himself , Zane , Jaden and other duelists do . Equipped with the " Dragonroid " from his Graveyard and receiving a further boost from " Power Bond " and all other monsters in his Graveyard , the ATK of " Cyberdark Dragon " rises to 5800 , allowing it to destroy " Jinzo - Lord " and win Syrus the Duel . As Syrus stands victorious , he hears someone applauding and sees that it is Zane . ( Jaden has slipped away to leave the brothers alone ) . Syrus attempts to give Zane his cards back , but Zane tells him to keep them - he ' s earned them . He states he ' ll start from the beginning with a new , evolving Deck . Zane invites Syrus to join him in creating a new Pro League after graduation and his own recovery . Syrus tearfully accepts , now having grown and discovered the path he wishes to take .
