The episode became available to the world with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on March 10 , 2015 . Yusei has defeated Breo and is finally facing the team leader , Jean . Yusei is in very bad straits with 3 cards left in his Deck , and Jean is about to deliver the final hit to his Life Points . . . Summary . However , Yusei activate s " Harmony Crystal " , reviving " Stardust Dragon " and damaging Jean enough to make their Life Points nearly equal . However , Jean is not worried by these moves , realizing that Yusei is exhausting his reserves . Jean believes that he just has to make Yusei run out of cards which will make him lose and that almost everything Yusei does is futile . Even after Yusei takes his next turn , Jean sees through his plans and stops what might have been a saving move . With only 2 cards in his Deck and an opponent capable of reading moves so easily , Yusei is now out of the frying pan and into the fire . His nervousness is showing , and the rest of the team is becoming frantic . But from behind the sidelines , a voice calls out . Jack has staggered from the hospital wing , and he throws off the assistance of Carly , Stephanie and Mina to yell at Yusei to not show a fearful duel in this situation . Turning to the rest of the team , he pushes them to not give up on Yusei , no matter how slim the chances are . One by one , they take up a rallying cheer for Yusei , and he is spurred into his next draw by their support . With a thrill , he sees that he has gotten " Synchron Explorer " , and he uses it to revive Junk Synchron to Synchro Summon " Junk Warrior " . He reflects that , ever since he learned of the Accel Synchro Summon , he ' s been looking for a new possibility of victory . Though he hasn ' t yet found the secret of that particular summon , he has learned a new answer . With that , he performs a Fusion Summon for the first time , combining " Junk Warrior " and " Stardust Dragon " to summon " Dragon Knight Draco - Equiste " . It overturns Jean ' s strategy completely even when he tries to reflect damage back at Yusei . Team 5D ' s is greatly impressed by this move ; Bruno in particular wonders at Yusei ' s transformation . Jean is shocked at the Fusion Monster Yusei had summoned stating he wasn ' t predicting this and this surprised not just him but also his teammates since they have no data on Yusei ever summoning such a monster . Angered , Jean believes he now has to focus more on trying to get rid of " Dragon Knight Draco - Equiste " instead of focusing on trying to make Yusei run out of cards since this new monster may have other effects that may turn the tables on him . Jean isn ' t finished with Yusei just yet , and Yusei only barely manages to stop a game - finishing move on Jean ' s next turn . This leaves Yusei with 1 card in his Deck , and he puts all his hopes on it . His next combo puts the pressure onto Jean , but one by one , Jean parries each of Yusei ' s moves . Yusei set s 2 cards , ending the last turn he could have taken . Jean mocks Yusei by asking if Yusei will continue to entertain him , and then he begins his turn , facing down Yusei ' s combo . Although " Dragon Knight Draco - Equiste " presents one last surprise , Jean nevertheless dismantles Yusei ' s field card by card until Yusei has no Trap Card s left and only " Rapid Warrior " . Everyone hears the MC ' s commentary : if Jean ends his turn right now , Team Unicorn wins the duel . However as Jean is about to end his turn , he begins to have second thoughts on making Yusei lose due to having no cards in his deck . Jean wonders if Yusei could still have a reversal plan in this situation , but he knows that ending his turn now will deliver a sure victory . Then , he looks at Yusei ' s set expression , and he hesitates . Breo becomes nervous , wondering if Jean could be thinking of attack ing when a Deck Out is to be had . Andre explains to him that , ever since the beginning of their team , Jean has sought a duel aimed for victory . They realize that their leader has finally met someone who can bring out his spirit , and the drive to win this is very deep in Jean . They decide to cheer Jean on , supporting him not to worry about matching the team ' s format and just go ahead and challenge Yusei as his heart feels . Jean gladly launches the attack . Yusei answers it with the last card in his hand : " Stronghold Guardian " . The deflected damage is enough to reduce Jean ' s Life Points to 0 Life Points , making it a last - minute victory for Team 5D ' s . Featured Duel : Yusei Fudo vs . Jean .

When it is Jean ' s End Phase , " Draco - Equiste " will be revived due to its second " Stardust Dragon " - granted effect .
